The Healing H.A.C.K. (formerly The Healing Home)
Welcome to The Healing H.A.C.K. Podcast
HEALING - ABUNDANCE - CONNECTION - KNOWLEDGE
About Us: A podcast exploring how people stay resourced, connected, and spiritually alive. Join Wilma Mae Basta for unscripted conversations with practitioners, thinkers, and creatives building real spiritual practice. Evolving from the work of DRK Beauty Healing and Sordoe, we explore spiritual health through personal ritual—no gurus, no shortcuts, just grounded wisdom.
Our Mission: We aim to help our community build a practical spiritual toolkit by exploring what practices actually do, how people work with them in real life, and how to discern what belongs in your own daily or seasonal rituals. Each episode guides you through Healing, Abundance, Connection, and Knowledge—offering tools you can test, adapt, or leave behind.
Why Listen?
- Authentic Conversations: Unscripted, in-depth discussions with practitioners, thinkers, and creatives across healing traditions.
- Practical Wisdom: Learn what spiritual practices actually do and how to work with them in real life.
- Agency & Discernment: Build your own toolkit based on what resonates with you—no prescriptions, no belief systems required.
- Grounded Spirituality: Explore embodied traditions and lived experience from people doing the work.
