In this enlightening conversation, Angela Schnieders and Andy Hickman explore the profound themes of integrated wholeness, spirituality, and personal development. They delve into the hēl method, which emphasizes the three pillars of being oneself, being organized, and be God.

As the Founder of the hēl method Andy proposes, “the answer to your overwhelm & burnout isn’t found in productivity – it’s found in anthropology – in rediscovering and reintegrating what it means to be a human. This is, at once, an earthy and divine process that is as natural, simple, and fun as a sail catching wind.”

The discussion highlights the importance of creativity, self-knowledge, and the interconnectedness of practical and spiritual life. Through practical steps and insights, they encourage listeners to embrace their unique identities and cultivate a deeper understanding of themselves in relation to God and others. Those that have embarked on the hēl journey have experienced renewed Space to Play, Space to Rest and Space to Explore!

Key Takeaways:

1. Integration is about recognizing the wholeness of our being, not just bringing separate parts together.
2. Organization is a dynamic process, not a static state.
3. Mindset is the story we tell ourselves, which shapes our reality.
