Spiritual Sanctuary Podcast & YouTube Channel

Spiritual conversations for real life

Welcome to the Spiritual Sanctuary Podcast and YouTube Channel—a welcoming space where spirituality is explored with curiosity, honesty, and an open heart.

I’m Dr. Bertena Varney, a spiritual coach, priestess, yoga teacher, Reiki Master Teacher, intuitive reader, author, and lifelong student of the sacred. Through each episode, I share teachings, personal experiences, practical tools, and thoughtful conversations to help you connect more deeply with your intuition and spiritual path.

You do not need to have everything figured out before you begin. You do not need to follow one tradition, use a specific label, or practice spirituality in the same way as anyone else.

You are welcome to explore, question, learn, and discover what feels meaningful to you.

What We Explore

The Spiritual Sanctuary offers approachable conversations and teachings about:

• Intuition and psychic development
• Tarot and oracle cards
• Reiki and other forms of energy work
• Meditation and spiritual practices
• The Divine Feminine and goddess traditions
• Priestess teachings and sacred leadership
• Spirit guides and the spiritual realm
• Crystals, rituals, and sacred tools
• Inclusive yoga and sacred movement
• Journaling, self-reflection, and personal growth
• Creating a spiritual business
• Finding your own authentic spiritual path

Some episodes are educational, while others are personal reflections, interviews, guided practices, or answers to questions from the Spiritual Sanctuary community.

Spirituality Does Not Have to Be Complicated

Spirituality is not about memorizing the right words, collecting the most tools, or perfectly following someone else’s path.

Your spiritual practice should help you feel more connected to your own soul, intuition, body, and daily life.

Through the podcast and YouTube channel, I break spiritual topics into understandable and practical conversations. I also share lessons from my own journey—the experiences that shaped me, the challenges I have faced, and the wisdom I continue to discover along the way.

My hope is that sharing my story helps you feel more confident in exploring yours.

Listen or Watch in the Way That Works for You

Prefer listening while you drive, walk, journal, or prepare for your day? Join me through the Spiritual Sanctuary Podcast.
