In this “Listen Again” episode of The Gathering Room, I'm talking about synchronicities—moments that hint that our universe is not random. Drawing on Dr. Lisa Miller’s research from The Awakened Brain, I share how being open to spiritual realities can improve health, boost resilience, and protect against anxiety and depression. To learn ways to keep your “spiritual docking station” open—including a meditation to allow those synchronicities to start showing up in your life—join me for the full episode!

In our culture, there's nothing good about aging. But what if growing older is really a spiritual strategy, not a personal failing? What if it's the way your soul finds its way home?

On this episode of The Gathering Room, I explore how the slowing down of the body allows it to fill itself with more light, more spiritual awareness, and a deeper sense of peace. Tune in to hear about “prodigies of aging” who grow more luminous with age, and how we can learn to “turn the lights on” in our own lives.

Ever played Minecraft? My five-year-old pulled me into it, and I started seeing it as a metaphor for how we move through real life.

On this Gathering Room, I share stories from my journey through decades of Survival mode, my awakening into Creative mode, and what it feels like now to live mostly in Adventure mode, guided by something wiser than my everyday mind.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in Survival mode or longed for more magic, guidance, and meaning in your life, this episode is for you. Join me!
