In this conversation, Bron Thoroughgood and Alexander John Shaia explore one of the most powerful yet overlooked spiritual practices: engaging with beauty and awe. From orchids to sunsets, they reflect on how wonder doesn’t erase pain but helps us make space to be with it. And then ultimately, a miracle happens. For awe - even in the midst of a fractured world – helps us re-discover joy.
