S2E14: Tim Callan – A Journey Through Grief to New Love


Listen Later

Listen in as Tim Callan shares his amazing journey through deep grief after the death of his wife, to find new love on the other side. Tim speaks of his experience of the power of grief willingly and fully met. He also tells us of the power of the Hoffman Process to open our hearts to the life that our Spiritual Self wants us to live.

Tim shares that if he hadn’t been willing to walk through it all, his life would have been “an incomplete life.” Listen closely as he tells how he invited grief to take him where he needed to go and what happened when he did.

More about Tim Callan:

After completing the Process, Tim Callan came to work for the Hoffman Institute. He took on several administrative functions and became a Process teacher. Tim served as VP/Chief Administrative Officer of the Hoffman Institute until he retired in 2010.

As Mentioned in this Episode:

In this conversation with Drew, Tim reads the following poem by David Whyte.

The Well of Grief

Those who will not slip beneath

the still surface of the well of grief
turning downward through its black water
to the place we cannot breathe
will never know the source from which we drink,
the secret water,
cold and clear,
nor find in the darkness
glimmering the small round coins thrown away
by those who wished for something else.
