Practice Spirituality with Philip on Substack

Phil posts two or three times a week on his Substack. Most of his posts are short essays related to the theme of Practical Spirituality–advice, guidance, commentary on spiritual concepts, quotes from and tributes to spiritual luminaries, spiritual takes on current events, etc. Sometimes, the posts are announcements about his offerings or those of teachers he respects. Once in a while, he’ll range further afield and share something on his mind, whether serious or humorous. 

You can subscribe for free and get most of his postings in your Inbox. You can also become a paid subscriber and take advantage of special offerings, such as: monthly Zoom gatherings where people come together to share insights and concerns about life on the spiritual path in these challenging times. Most sessions have special guests who add fresh perspective and expertise. Other offerings for paid subscribers include transcripts of selected podcast interviews with spiritual teachers and jokes, stories, and cartoons that combine spiritual insight and belly laughs–because spirituality is serious business and also a hoot.
