    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? Download Dr. Sheri’s FREE guide, “Awakening to the Sacred,” here:  http://subscribepage.io/jaCwFD  Jane Kennedy has been using storytelling for a long time as a path of integrity and authenticity. 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/  Jane is featured in two films with Reflections of Life: What Happens When You Stop Forcing Life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqMpOSBsjDI  Why I Chose to Not Panic 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.

    Science and the Sacred, Pt. 1 with Philip Clayton

    Can science and the sacred be in relationship? 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 and Dr. Sheri also dig into everything from mystical experience to the differences between panpsychism and cosmopsychism, why theology is important, and how spiritual practices can offer us meaning, belonging, and transformation. Watch the full episode here. Did this resonate with you? Download Dr. Sheri’s FREE guide, “Awakening to the Sacred,” here: http://subscribepage.io/jaCwFD * * * * * * * Dr. Philip Clayton works at the intersection of philosophy, theology, and science. 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) 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.

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

    May 1

    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/ Podcast: https://www.presence.tv/podcast Did this resonate with you?

    Is There Ever a "Just" War?

    In a relational, evolving world, questions of war and justice cannot be answered by control and domination, but only through the lens of love, relationship, and what makes life possible. This episode of The Sacred Everywhere podcast and video series features Dr. Sheri Kling discussing the question of whether there is ever really a just war from a process perspective.  Did this resonate with you?

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

    This episode of The Sacred Everywhere podcast and video series features Philip Shepherd,  someone whose work I’ve come to greatly appreciate. The full episode is available for paid subscribers to The Sacred Everywhere. Both Philip and I question the dominant worldview of Western culture. Process thinkers have been doing the same as well for a very long time. What Philip calls “The Story” asserts that “humans stand as independent of nature as our skyscrapers do; that the head should be in charge of the body, just as a CEO is in charge of a corporation; that we can own trees, land, and animals; that self-mastery is the means to success; that what we feel as ‘the self’ lies within the boundary of the skin; that the pursuit of happiness is the primary goal of our lives; and that money buys security.” What led him to question this story in the first place? That’s part of our conversation, as is the whole notion of wholeness and our immersion within it, and how Philip’s thinking intersects with the process thought of Alfred North Whitehead and my own work on the whole-making sacred. * * * * * * * Philip Shepherd is recognized as a leader in the global embodiment movement. He created The Embodied Present Process™ (TEPP) in partnership with Allyson Woodrooffe, and as co-directors they provide practices and new perspectives on our culture to help people come home to the body’s deep presence and wisdom. They share the work of TEPP online, in one-on-one coaching sessions, and worldwide in workshops, retreats and Facilitators Trainings. TEPP is also supported by Philip’s two books – Radical Wholeness and New Self, New World – which articulate the causes, perils and personal challenges of our culture’s disembodiment. Philip’s own journey to embodiment includes cycling alone as a teenager through Europe, the Middle East, Iran, India and Japan; studying classical Japanese Noh Theater; co-founding an interdisciplinary theatre company; writing two internationally produced plays and a television documentary; and playing lead roles on stages in London, New York, Chicago and Toronto.  The TEPP website and online courses are found at EmbodiedPresent.com. Philip’s most recent book, Deep Fitness, was co-authored with Andrei Yakovenko and offers a revolutionary and highly effective approach to fitness. He is currently working on a new book, Remembering Ourselves: A Guide to Our Lost Intelligence. This is a public episode.
