The Dark Needs the Light | Exploring Ancient Egyptian Spirituality

Bexx took a trip to Egypt, and she’s ready to share everything about it! Bexx and Noie dive into what Bexx experienced inside the ancient temples in Egypt, and they look at how those teachings connect to the emotional work they've each been doing in their own lives. The things Bexx saw and learned about on her trip dive deep into personal spirituality and unlocking emotional depth that the two have been talking about for weeks on end.
