June 12, 2024 Ep 27: Addiction & Recovery - A Healing Journey with Bill Tierney, Part 1 of 2
What does recovery mean to you, and what are we all recovering FROM?
This open-hearted question leads the pod's spirit of inquiry into a sensitive conversation about healing trauma with special guest and IFS Practitioner Bill Tierney. Bill shares his personal hero's journey from addiction to recovery, opening up about his crisis of faith as a young man, his multiple marriages, and his past problem with alcohol. Through the work of Byron Katie, Bill gained insight into his suffering, learned how to re-frame his thoughts, and started healing. The work inspired him to study internal family systems. Now, over 40 years sober, Bill practices IFS therapy and helps others on their healing journeys.

Quote by Lawrence Pearsall Jacks: "A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself he always appears to be doing both.”

May 19, 2024Ep 26: How Creativity Helps Us To Feel Alive
How do we tune in to our creativity when we are conditioned for productivity? In this episode, we explore the power of creativity to transform chaos into beauty. We rediscover that curiosity, wonder, and longing are the gateways to creative expression and we remember that creations are born from quiet spaces. As we reflect on limiting beliefs and busy schedules that hold us back from being or feeling creative, we help each other to find the space within where our creative energy lives and our individual art is born. Join us as we celebrate the innate creativity in all of us and the wisdom of Rick Rubin!

How do we remain soft and loving when the world around us feels hard?? In this episode we explore the value of being receptive to life's lessons without allowing tough times to harden us. Instead through vulnerability and self-awareness, we uncover the path to resilience and growth.

December 24, 2023 Ep 20: The Art of Netting - Celebrating One Year of Soul Net!
In this special one-year anniversary episode, the Sisters share what it means for them to take turns giving and receiving love in the way of "netting". They share their experiences of moving between being a provider of love (holding space) and being the recipient of love (held in space). This continual dance between the divine masculine and divine feminine is what we call "the art of netting" and the Soul Net Podcast is where we practice. Thank you for joining us in this practice and supporting Soul Net this year! We love you and look forward to soul netting with you in 2024!

December 13, 2023 Ep 19: The Benefits of Nature Learning with Meredith Dawson
In this episode, the Sisters welcome child educator and wellness facilitator, Meredith Dawson. Meredith talks about nature as her teaching partner and the benefits of open spaces and "risky play" for kids of all ages. Her outdoor education programs such as Wild Wonder and Wellbeing Walks invite people into nature to experience connection through relational and navigational skill development. She discusses how current indoor classroom environments restrict movement and creativity, both of which she claims are fundamental for healthy development and nervous system regulation. This conversation is packed full of information and inspiration to go outside, play, and learn! Join us!
