Finding Wholeness in the Embodied Present with Philip Shepherd, Pt. 1

Loving Self, Embodying Soul with Jane Kennedy, Pt. 1

Isn’t it funny how something so small as a laugh or a gesture can spark a friendship between people on different continents? This episode of The Sacred Everywhere podcast and video series features Jane Kennedy. I first encountered Jane through a short film on the YouTube channel Reflections of Life, and immediately felt a kinship that led to this conversation.  Did this resonate with you?

Her work journey began in the early 80s with photography. Over time, she expanded her skills across various mediums, including audio-visual, video, filmmaking, documentaries, and television production.  For 30 years, Jane’s professional life was primarily focused on directing and producing reality television and factual storytelling. In the latter part of her career, she honed in on directing food shows — and as a result, she is a pretty accomplished cook! Within that context, she interviewed hundreds of people about their emotional states, their dreams, fears, and hopes for their lives. Through these experiences, Jane came to understand and deeply appreciate the gift of inquiry — essential both for storytelling and for understanding the human condition.  Now Jane continues to refine and extend these skills in new and meaningful ways. Her background in visual storytelling enables her to assist others in understanding — and sometimes transcending — their own narratives. Jane holds space for others and is also currently in training to become a Somatic Experiencing practitioner.  Jane Kennedy: https://janekennedy.co.za/ [https://janekennedy.co.za/]  Jane is featured in two films with Reflections of Life: What Happens When You Stop Forcing Life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqMpOSBsjDI [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqMpOSBsjDI]  Why I Chose to Not Panic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Du7fMHtPkh0 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Du7fMHtPkh0]  **NOTE: All videos, podcasts, services and products are for education, spiritual growth, and entertainment purposes only and are not intended to replace the work of medical, legal, or psychological professionals.   * * * * * * * This is a public episode.

This episode of The Sacred Everywhere podcast and video series features Dr. Philip Clayton discussing his new book, Science and the Sacred: Beyond the Gods in Our Image.

He has published several dozen books and some 350 articles. Most recently, he and C. S. Pearce co-authored Science and the Sacred: Beyond the Gods in Our Image. Although he continues to work on fundamental questions that arise within each of these fields and at their intersections, his more recent focus has turned increasingly to the intersection of climate science, ethics, religion, and social philosophy, or ecotheology. He is the Ingraham Chair (emeritus) at Claremont School of Theology, where he founded the PhD program in comparative theologies and philosophies. Philip is also the founding president of the Institute for Ecological Civilization, now known as the EcoCivilization Coalition (EcoCiv.org [http://www.ecociv.org/]) and served president of the Institute for the Postmodern Development of China, which works with universities and government officials to promote the concept of ecological civilization through conferences, publications, educational projects, and ecovillages. He has previously served as a Dean, founding Provost, and Executive Vice President of a multi-religious university, Claremont Lincoln University. Philip enjoys cycling, sailing, refereeing competitive soccer, and wilderness camping with family and dog.

Have We Got the Bible All Wrong? with Doug King (Part 1)

What if the Bible actually offers us a narrative pointing to universal God identity and transformation? What if the work of Jesus was never about establishing a new religion? This episode of The Sacred Everywhere podcast and video series features Doug King discussing the biblical narrative in light of the spiral dynamics model of the evolution of worldviews.  Doug King began his religious life in a very conservative denomination and deeply studied the Hebrew and Christian texts, later finding that systems like spiral dynamics offered a transformative lens through which to look at the texts.  Doug and his wife, Denée, live in Dacula, GA. He has a background in business and worked with his father, author, scholar and speaker Max King, to form Presence International, a growing network that engages emergent, integral, and interspiritual organizations and idea leaders.  You can find his work at these links: Website: https://www.presence.tv/ [https://www.presence.tv/] Podcast: https://www.presence.tv/podcast [https://www.presence.tv/podcast] Did this resonate with you?
