To become a free thinker and truly human, it takes a lot of hard work to hone your own thinking style, discover your spiritual truth and drill deep down into your soul on your own. But, where do you begin on this transformational journey, and how do you know if you’re making progress?

Clinical psychologist and Anthroposophy scholar Edmund Knighton returns to explore the philosophies of Rudolf Steiner — the foundation of the upcoming Being Human program — and explore what it truly means to be your best self in this FULL-LENGTH conversation on Spirit Gym.

Learn more about Edmund’s work on his website, where you can request a free 15-minute consultation.
