    Conscious Motherhood and Divine Feminine Awakening, with Shayna Persad

    In this heartfelt and expansive episode of Hidden Wisdom, Meghan Farner is joined by Shayna Persad, yoga teacher, womb healer, astrologer, and creator of Healing with Shayna, for a powerful conversation on conscious motherhood as a path of spiritual awakening. Shayna shares her journey from a Catholic upbringing into divine feminine embodiment, womb wisdom, and conscious parenting—exploring how children act as mirrors for unhealed wounds, nervous system dysregulation, and inherited patterns. Together, Meghan and Shayna unpack the difference between conscious parenting and permissive parenting, the role of boundaries, and why many “good” children are actually responding to trauma rather than safety. This episode weaves together spirituality, psychology, astrology, and motherhood to reframe parenting not as control or hierarchy, but as partnership, guidance, and soul-level remembrance. They also explore how our views of parenting shape our views of God, authority, and agency—and why healing the “bad mom” wound is essential for feminine wholeness. 00:00 | Introduction to Shayna Persad & conscious motherhood01:05 | Shayna’s spiritual roots: Catholicism, angels, and the divine feminine05:55 | Yoga, Bali, and awakening into feminine spirituality08:10 | Bridging religion and spirituality12:30 | Astrology and surrender vs control15:20 | Growing up without feminine models16:40 | Healing the mother wound through motherhood19:30 | What conscious motherhood really means21:35 | Children as mirrors for inner healing23:10 | Why “good” children may not feel safe25:25 | Parenting, God, and rethinking authority29:10 | Healing isn’t linear31:20 | Working with triggers in daily parenting32:50 | Journaling, meditation, and nervous system regulation35:45 | Children sharing the mother’s energetic field37:00 | Using astrology to understand your child40:35 | How awareness heals trauma43:40 | Healing comes from within, not outside authority47:30 | Conscious vs permissive parenting49:30 | Modeling behavior over control50:45 | Acceptance and allowing children to be who they are53:20 | The “bad mom” wound55:25 | Why good moms question themselves56:35 | Repair, apology, and conscious parenting in practice Join the Contemplative Prayer + Meditation Q&A with Meghan and Phil McLemore, on February 16th at 7pm MT.

    Understanding Saving Ordinances | House of Learning | Lesson 6

    In this episode of House of Learning: Understanding the Doctrine of the Temple, Meghan Farner and Cory Jensen explore what “saving ordinances” truly mean — and challenge the common assumption that symbolic rituals are salvific in and of themselves. This lesson reframes temple ordinances not as spiritual hall passes or automatic guarantees of salvation, but as symbolic invitations into real spiritual transformation, covenant relationship, and lived discipleship through the grace of Jesus Christ. Using a well-known quote from Brigham Young as a starting point, the discussion unpacks why memorizing signs, tokens, or participating in ceremonies alone cannot save a person — and how those symbols instead point toward deeper spiritual realities that must be experienced, embodied, and received through grace. You’ll learn: ✨ Why ordinances are a means, not an end ✨ How symbols represent real spiritual experiences and gifts of grace ✨ The danger of reducing temple worship to performance or compliance ✨ Why God is interested in who we are becoming, not just what we are doing ✨ How ancient Israel struggled with the same misunderstanding ✨ How the Book of Mormon functions as a temple text ✨ What it means to “see beyond the symbol” into spiritual reality This episode invites viewers to move beyond surface-level religious participation into conscious spiritual growth, discernment, and personal transformation in Christ.  If you’ve ever wondered whether ordinances alone can save you, how grace actually works, or how temple symbolism connects to lived spiritual experience, this lesson provides clarity and depth. 🌿 This episode is part of a 17-week course releasing weekly on YouTube. 🌿 For guided reflection, journaling tools, deeper study resources, and community conversation, explore the Hidden Wisdom app (link below). ⚠️ This content reflects personal spiritual study and interpretation.

    Sarah the High Priestess: The Melchizedek Mystery of the Lost Divine Feminine, with Michelle Wiener

    In this expansive episode of Hidden Wisdom, Meghan Farner is joined by theologian and author Michelle Wiener to explore the hidden feminine thread within the Abrahamic tradition. Drawing from Michelle’s book Return to Mamre: Recovering the Melchizedek Mysteries Beneath the Sacred Groves, this conversation reframes Abraham and Sarah not merely as patriarch and matriarch, but as participants in a sacred matrimonial priesthood order — a divine pairing of priest and priestess rooted in ancient sacred groves, temple imagery, and cosmic symbolism. Together, they explore: Sarah as possible high priestessThe Mamre Order as a template for Melchizedek priesthoodHenotheism vs. monotheism and the divine councilThe role of Heavenly Mother in healing Abrahamic divisionAstrology, archetypes, and the constellations as priesthood patternsThe mother/daughter (virgin/“harlot”) archetype in scriptureThe sacred feminine as key to reconciliation among Judaism, Christianity, and IslamThis episode invites listeners into deeper discernment, symbolic literacy, and spiritual maturity — reclaiming a balanced priesthood of partnership rather than hierarchy. If you’ve ever wondered whether the sacred feminine was truly erased from scripture — and how to recover her — this conversation will expand your lens. 00:00 Introduction + Michelle’s academic background04:00 Southern Baptist roots & fear-based theology08:40 Discovering the mystical & divine feminine15:30 Introducing Return to Mamre16:20 Abraham & Sarah’s journey to Mamre20:00 Was Sarah initiated alongside Abraham?23:00 Sacred groves, Asherah, and priestesshood29:00 Bread, libations, and feminine temple ritual34:00 Monotheism, henotheism, and the divine council38:30 The “Most High God and Goddess”45:00 Avoiding goddess conflation & discernment50:15 Astrology, archetypes, and the Maseroth55:30 The maiden–mother–crone pattern in the stars1:02:00 Sarah & Hagar: mother/daughter archetypes1:07:00 Solar vs lunar symbolism & degrees of glory1:10:00 Healing Abrahamic division through the feminine1:11:30 Final reflections on sacred partnershipJoin the Contemplative Prayer + Meditation Q&A with Meghan and Phil McLemore, on February 16th at 7pm MT.

    The Laws of Self-Love + Loving Others: Agape, the Pearl, + What Jesus Would Do | Sacrament Addresses by Meghan + Mckay Farner

    In this special bonus episode of Hidden Wisdom, Meghan and McKay Farner share the talks they delivered in sacrament meeting on the greatest commandment: to "love thy neighbor as thyself."  Meghan explores the often-overlooked doctrine of self-love through the lens of agape—the unconditional love that God is. She unpacks false beliefs (“unbelief”) that keep us stuck in shame and natural-man identity, reframing repentance as healing rather than punishment. Drawing from Mosiah 3:19, Doctrine & Covenants 93, Moroni 7, and the teachings of President David O. McKay, she invites listeners to see themselves as the “pearl of great price”—already worthy of divine love. McKay then shares a powerful mission story that forever changed his understanding of loving your neighbor. Through personal experience—including stepping away from church activity—he reflects on charity without ulterior motive and what it truly means to love as Christ loves. Together, these talks offer a message of hope, grace, and spiritual maturity: You cannot hate yourself into holiness. You cannot give a gift you have not received. And love is not kindness with a destination attached. 00:00 Introduction & purpose of the message00:33 The Great Commandment (Matthew 22)01:19 Agape: the unconditional love God is02:35 False beliefs (“unbelief”) about self-love04:24 Natural man vs. true eternal identity07:23 Repentance as healing, not punishment09:26 Shame, fear, and perfect love10:16 Rest, worthiness, and grace11:50 Meditation as communion with God12:42 The pearl of great price13:52 McKay’s mission story begins15:47 What love is not17:13 “Love is not kindness with a destination attached”20:10 Charity defined (Moroni 7)22:27 Princess & sacrificial love23:40 “Greater love hath no man…”24:16 Stepping away from church activity24:48 “It’s what Jesus would do.”25:02 Final testimony & invitation Questions about Return to the Garden?

    Defining Ordinances | House of Learning | Lesson 5

    In this episode of House of Learning: Understanding the Doctrine of the Temple, Meghan Farner and Cory Jensen explore what ordinances truly are, why they matter spiritually, and how they function as the bridge between human effort and the saving power of Jesus Christ’s Atonement. This lesson introduces a transformational framework for understanding ordinances as having three essential components: a physical action, a symbolic spiritual teaching, and a real spiritual manifestation or gift of grace. Using baptism as a primary example, the discussion reveals how ordinances are not merely symbolic rituals, but divinely designed pathways for spiritual rebirth, covenant relationship, and inner transformation. You’ll learn: ✨ Why ordinances are the means by which we access the power of Christ’s Atonement  ✨ The three essential components of every saving ordinance  ✨ How baptism teaches death, rebirth, surrender, and resurrection  ✨ What baptism of fire and the Holy Ghost truly represents  ✨ Why ordinances are incomplete without spiritual manifestation  ✨ How temple ordinances mirror these same spiritual patterns  ✨ The meaning of signs, tokens, and covenant exchange This episode invites viewers to move beyond automatic or surface-level participation in ordinances and toward lived spiritual experience, discernment, and conscious covenant relationship.  If you’ve ever wondered why ordinances matter, how they actually change us, or how temple rituals connect to real spiritual growth, this lesson provides essential clarity and spiritual depth. 🌿 This episode is part of a 17-week course releasing weekly on YouTube.  🌿 For guided reflection, journaling tools, deeper study resources, and community conversation, explore the Hidden Wisdom app (link below). ⚠️ This content reflects personal spiritual study and interpretation.

    Meditation as Atonement: Union with God Through Stillness and Awareness, with Phil McLemore

    In this expansive episode of Hidden Wisdom, Meghan Farner is joined by returning guest Phil McLemore for a deep, practical teaching on meditation as the highest form of prayer. Phil presents meditation as an ancient practice of awareness, union with God, and transformation. Together, they explore the difference between mindfulness and transcendental (yoga) meditation, why stillness is essential for spiritual perception, and how meditation aligns with Jesus’ own teachings on prayer, the inner kingdom, and becoming “one” with God. Phil offers step-by-step guidance on posture, breath, mantra, handling distractions, and receiving meditation as a feminine, receptive flow of grace rather than a forced effort. This episode also addresses common fears around meditation, ego resistance, spiritual ego, emotional release, and discernment—grounding the practice firmly in Christ-centered theology, embodiment, and character transformation. For anyone seeking a deeper experience of God, inner healing, and true at-one-ment, this episode serves as both teaching and invitation. 00:00 | Introduction & why meditation matters for spiritual growth03:00 | Phil’s background & discovering meditation through pain06:10 | Meditation as prayer, not self-improvement07:20 | God in the present moment & spiritual awareness09:00 | Mindfulness vs transcendental (God-centered) meditation12:50 | Jesus’ model of prayer & the Aramaic meaning of “pray”16:30 | Awareness of awareness & inner stillness19:00 | Yoga, atonement, and union with God23:00 | Still mind, pure heart, and scriptural foundations29:40 | Preparing for meditation: time, place, posture34:00 | Harmonizing the body & devotional intent43:10 | “Don’t pray to God—pray in God”46:20 | Breath as the gateway to Spirit52:35 | Diaphragmatic breathing & nervous system safety56:00 | Mantra meditation & examples (“Be Still,” “Peace, Be Still”)01:05:30 | Handling intrusive thoughts & ego resistance01:11:50 | Concentration vs meditation: receiving grace01:15:40 | Oneness, transformation, and Christ-consciousness01:23:30 | Obstacles, emotional release, and patience01:31:30 | Discernment, symbolism, and avoiding spiritual ego01:33:30 | Character transformation as the true fruit01:37:15 | Closing reflections & invitation to practice Questions about Return to the Garden?

    Covenant Ceremonies | House of Learning | Lesson 4

    In this episode of House of Learning: Understanding the Doctrine of the Temple, Meghan Farner and Cory Jensen explore ancient covenant ceremonies and what covenants truly meant in biblical and Israelite culture — far beyond the modern idea of a simple two-way promise. Using the story of David and Jonathan as a primary archetype, this lesson reveals how ancient covenants involved the merging of identity, shared inheritance, protection, loyalty, sacrifice, and sacred relationship. These covenant patterns illuminate how God relates to humanity and what it means to enter a covenant relationship with Jesus Christ. You’ll learn: ✨ Why ancient covenants were relational, not contractual  ✨ How covenant ceremonies symbolized shared identity, strength, and inheritance  ✨ The spiritual meaning of robes, weapons, and sacred exchanges  ✨ How covenant blood symbolism points to Christ’s atonement  ✨ Why God identifies Himself as One who keeps covenant and shows mercy  ✨ How covenant blessings extend across generations  ✨ What covenant faithfulness, justice, and mercy look like in real life This episode also explores the story of the Gibeonites, the seriousness of covenant obligations, and how God honors covenant relationships even across centuries. Viewers are invited to reconsider temple covenants as sacred relationships of transformation rather than mere ritual compliance.  If you’ve ever wondered what temple covenants truly mean, how God relates to covenant partners, or how ancient practices illuminate modern worship, this lesson provides essential spiritual foundations. 🌿 This episode is part of a 17-week course releasing weekly on YouTube.  🌿 For guided reflection, journaling tools, deeper study resources, and community discussion, explore the Hidden Wisdom app (link below). ⚠️ This content reflects personal spiritual study and interpretation.
