Sabbatical with John Valters Paintner
2019 marks the seventh year of A Sacred Journey, and because I've decided to enter a rhythm of sabbatical every seven years, this means 2019 will be a bit quieter at asacredjourney.net. While the Journey Shop will still be open, Journey Guide will still be available, and I'll still be meeting with clients, I won't be writing new posts, publishing new episodes, or sending out many emails. Before I press pause, though, I wanted to share with you about the practice of sabbatical so you can join me and in intention from afar. Learn more about sabbatical and how you can make it a practice of your own, too, in today's episode with John Valters Paintner, online prior at abbeyofthearts.com.

S2:E8 | Entering Our Places of Darkness with Vanya Stier-Van Essen
No matter your journey, there will always be seasons of darkness. Sometimes we find ourselves in these dark places, as with dark nights of the soul. At other times we choose to enter the unknown on our search for the Sacred. Either way, though unexpected, one thing is certain—hidden treasures can often be found in our places of darkness if we engage them with openness and curiosity. In today's episode, I explore this topic and more with depth psychologist Vanya Stier-Van Essen. Find episode notes and subscribe to receive updates at asacredjourney.net/podcast.

S2:E6 | Listening to Dreams with Kasey Hitt
In biblical times, dreams proclaimed truths and altered paths. What insight do our dreams have to offer our journeys today? Spiritual director Kasey Hitt and I talk about the messages of dreams and how they are considered "unopened letters from God," making dreamwork a valuable and often underutilized spiritual practice.

Customer Reviews
practical/spiritual signposts
I recently let go / was let go from a stable but unsatisfying job. Because of Ms. Ellman's influence I set an intention that the first month of unemployment would be a sabbatical, and I took a week long pilgrimage trip. I went to nearby destinations I could easily afford. Both the sabbatical and the pilgrimage were powerful, nourishing, and inspiring. Thank you so much for the suggestions!!
Insufferable!
Stop interrupting the guests already. Can’t get through an episode.
Wonderful Show
Lacy is an excellent interviewer! She asks terrific questions which make for great shows! Highly recommend!
