    Season 3 | Episode 2 | The Reinvention of Rob Bell

    Today's guest is New York Times bestselling author, speaker, and spiritual teacher Rob Bell. He's a man of many talents and interests, beaming with curiosity and full of wisdom.  In our conversation we discuss listening to the wisdom of your life, what it's like to reinvent yourself and his latest book: Where'd You Park Your Spaceship? It's a quirky book that explores themes of love, loss and grief and so much more. In the words of one reviewer: "It's a divergence from his earlier stuff, but it's also a breath of beautifully weird fresh air."  Enjoy my conversation with Rob! ---- www.bonesandstardust.com www.robbell.com www.angievon.com

    S3 | EP1: The Rebelliousness of Rest

    This episode is about listening to YOUR OWN RHYTHMS and the rebellious act of rest. In Western culture we don’t know how to do that very well. We tend to feel guilty or lazy, often asking: Did I do enough? Am I valuable enough? But, what is enough? And by whose measurements and standards? Who gets to judge our value? We are worthy, simply because we are. YOU are worthy. Simply because YOU are. So, when value and commodity is woven into the very backbone of our society, how does one reclaim the wild rebelliousness of rest? Because that's exactly what rest has become... an act of rebellion. A refusal to take part in a life that is unsustainable. A refusal to be used up and burnt out. A refusal to ignore your own sacred rhythm. I think it's more than creating a moment of rest but rather a sustainable life. Which is often found in the spaces in between.

    Season 2 | Episode 7 | Meditation: The Guest House

    The houseguest: A reflection for our solitary suffering. I often talk about the aliveness of being human. The joy, the wonder, the creation and the vastness of our precious experience here on earth. But part of our aliveness is also embracing the pain, grief and loneliness. I think one of the hardest things about being human just may be our solitary suffering. We are collectively going through so much at this present time in history, so much collective suffering, but no one lives inside the home of your soul, but you.  Join me for a contemplative practice inspired by Rumi's poem, "The Guest House".

    Season 2 | Episode 3 | Meditation: The Human Being Fully Alive

    At the beginning of each podcast episode I repeat these words: "Conversations on what it means to be a human being, fully alive." But what does it mean to be fully alive? Greek Bishop and Saint, Irenaeus once said: “The glory of God is man fully alive.” YOU are the spark of the Divine, how then shall you live? Join me for a short reflection and mediation on being alive and present.
