Your Unique Light: The Cave You Fear & Joseph’s Midrash (5th Sunday in (Extra)Ordinary Time)

Our guiding question: What is my unique light to share with the world?

In this episode, we explore what it means to let your light be seen—and what keeps it hidden. Marci shows up in “trickster” mode, and we lean into Joseph Campbell’s invitation: “The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.”

Together we reflect on a midrash—a storytelling tradition that opens sacred text from the inside—through a retelling of Joseph and his brothers. Laura shares highlights from the Natural Spirituality Conference and threads in her work with the fairy tale The Girl Without Hands. We also share a few recent listener comments—thank you for taking the time to write and keep this community alive.
