We are back for a fifth and final season! Richard Rohr is once again joined by Brie Stoner and Paul Swanson to walk together through the layers of the Cosmic Egg of Meaning and life in the Universal Christ. This season focuses on the Cosmic Egg of Meaning as a framework that positions "my story" within "our story" within "the story".

Richard Rohr, in conversation with Paul Swanson and Brie Stoner, continues the journey through the 7 Themes of the Alternative Orthodoxy. The fifth theme of the Alternative Orthodoxy opens the door to everyone: The “separate self” is the major problem, not the shadow self which only takes deeper forms of disguise. There is a subtleness to this theme that takes some sussing out. Join us as we share personal stories that exemplify our wrestling with this theme, distinguish between the ‘shadow self’ and the ‘separate self’, look at the ways that shame snakes its way into our lives, and ultimately how the connection to the whole entices personhood.

Richard Rohr, in conversation with Brie Stoner and Paul Swanson, continues the journey through the 7 Themes of the Alternative Orthodoxy. The sixth theme of the Alternative Orthodoxy introduces us to our primary teachers: The path of descent is the path of transformation. Darkness, failure, relapse, death, and woundedness are our primary teachers, rather than ideas or doctrines. This theme can be heavy to hold in ourselves and bearing witness to the experience of others. Join us as we share personal stories on the path of descent, appreciate the gifts of vulnerability and forgiveness, hold our mortality with a loving gaze, and work towards detaching from the storylines that dictate or bind our growth.
