Revise Text
At Spiritual Wanderlust, we have had a very generous volunteer who was helping us edit our Women Mystic class transcripts each month. Unfortunately, she has been struggling with the effects of Covid.
Would you care to offer your time of revising the transcript once a month, and spend more time with each of these wise women?
Time Commitment: 3-5 hours (can be spread out). May be a one-time or longer commitment.
Tools and skills needed: The internet; fluent in English
The Details: A transcript is auto-generated using our technology tools. We will send you a document that needs grammar added (periods, capital letters, etc.) and to correct any words that the program got wrong. You will be provided the video to follow along and make the corrections needed.

Watch Videos
The Spiritual Wanderlust podcast has over 20 episodes–but not everyone has time to listen to 50-60 minute episodes. Help us reach the busy moms or the spiritual seekers who prefer “small bites” of inspiration by recommending your favorite video clips!
Time Commitment: 1-2 hours (can be spread out). May be a one-time or longer commitment.
Tools and Skills needed: The internet
The Details: Listen to one of our podcast episodes, either on Youtube or on your favorite podcast platform (video or audio). Make note of your favorite clips, anywhere from 10 seconds to 3 minutes long. It might be an intriguing part of the conversation, an interesting question, something you’ve never heard before, etc. Simply make a list of the clips you enjoy using the time frame of the episode. For example, 9:10-10:42 would mean you loved the clip starting at 9 minutes and 10 seconds, and ending at 10 minutes and 42 seconds. Make a note of the topic of the clip. For example, “Why you need to know your lowest enneagram number” or “A day in the life of a hermit.” When you’re done listening to the episode, send over the list!
