Welcome to the season one finale of Soil and Stars. This week, Emily has a soulful conversation with artist and writer Cody Cook-Parrott about their new book, The Practice of Attention.

This episode is an invitation to notice where our attention goes and energy flows. Attention is the gateway to presence, and in a world full of distractions, presence is the greatest gift we can give ourselves.

Tune in to hear Emily and Cody discuss: 

  • Their complicated relationships with social media and how they began noticing the negative impacts of apps like Instagram 
  • How our creative and spiritual practices can help us live meaningful lives  
  • The power of writing as a contemplative practice to help us make sense of our inner worlds
