It involves peeling away the layers of daily distractions to uncover the true essence of our being. Spiritual growth starts with inner work and connecting with our innermost selves. But, with meditation, prayer, and connecting with nature, each step on this journey brings greater awareness, purpose, and a sense of interconnectedness with all life.
