Hello, the lovely peoples. This is Marty, Martha, inviting you to a free masterclass that I have made called

Five Paths to Your Purpose. Probably the most common question I get from people is, how do I find my purpose?

Why don't I feel that I'm on purpose? Well, it turns out there are certain things you have to do to find your purpose, and I broke

them down into five, and I made a little masterclass about it. So if you'd like to see it, just go to

marthabeck.com slash purpose, and you will be able to watch it without any charge at all.

Welcome to the Gathering Room podcast, the audio version of my weekly gathering room broadcast. I'm Martha Beck. Let's get starting. All right. You know me as a person of a certain woo-woo propensity, right?

Like sometimes I'm more woo-woo than others.

My fundamental faith is in doubt.

I believe that I don't know anything and then therefore anything might be true.

But I also have experiences of the world and they tend toward the woo-woo and have ever

since I started having little bits of what might be called sigh or paranormal experience

way back when I was pregnant with my second child. So today is going to be one of the wooer

episodes of the gathering room. So be prepared for a little woo, woo, woo, even though I don't

firmly believe in anything I just don't not believe that the world is magical and mysterious.

All right. So you may have noticed if you're a regular gatherer here in the room that this is a

different room than I usually broadcast from. And that's because I am in a bed and an Airbnb,

bed and breakfast in the Catskill Mountains

because we have just moved out of our house in Pennsylvania.

But I've not yet moved into our house somewhere else in upstate New York.

Now, usually I have a pretty even keel. I'm a pretty happy person. After decades of meditation

and self-development and spiritual practices of various kinds, I am generally on very good terms

with life and not afraid of death.
