What is your religion?
I identify as a Muslim-Buddhist. I can speak at length about the spiritual traditions of Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Shintoism, and Jedi beliefs. I am less “religious” but instead apply the wisdom gained from these spiritual traditions. I make spirituality accessible to all clients, regardless of the absence or presence of faith in a higher power.
