With Host Tam Dillon @tamdillon And Guest Anna Seraffine
This episode of Talks with the Elders centres on restoring dignity, respect, and responsibility to spiritual practice in a landscape shaped by trends, performance, and surface-level teaching.
Tam sits with Anna Seraffine for a grounded conversation on how pseudo-spirituality, social media aesthetics, and teaching without preparation have altered public expectations of spiritual work. Together, they explore what gets lost when practice is disconnected from lineage, training, and lived experience.
The conversation looks at the difference between authentic spiritual craft and performative personas, the harm that can arise when people step into leadership without readiness, and why elders, community, and accountability remain essential.
Anna shares from decades of experience supporting practitioners and those newly awakening, offering clarity on what steadiness, coherence, and ethical responsibility actually look like in modern practice. This episode invites practitioners and the wider public into deeper discernment, clearer boundaries, and a return to depth without shaming or gatekeeping.
