How Wide Your Life Can Be

About this episode

Martha Beck explores the concept of living a broader life by challenging accepted realities and embracing magic and connection.

In this Gathering Room, I'm questioning the idea of accepted reality as I share stories of telepathy, near‑death experiences, animal visitations, and the ways that denial keeps our lives narrow. I talk about deciding to “live wide” by kicking down the walls of what our materialist culture tells us we should think, and opening ourselves up to magic, joy, and connection instead. If you'd like to discover how to live wide, and what your life would be like if you did, join me for the full conversation!
