No Map, No Shore, No Problem: How to Live Through This Moment

In this extended episode of The Gathering Room, I talk about what it means to live through a time of social unraveling, and how we can still find our way, even without guarantees or clear paths ahead. I explore how to navigate systemic collapse through Wayfinding—regulating our nervous systems, resisting panic and polarization, grieving fully, creating beauty, and building circles of community, integrity, and calm, generative action. If you’ve been feeling alone or overwhelmed, this episode is for you.

Wayfinding Through Chaos

Where do you go when you don’t trust what’s around you? In this week’s Gathering Room, I talk about how to navigate our chaotic, rapidly changing world by turning inward to the body's wisdom. I’ll guide you through a Wayfinder visualization to help you feel held in safety, and show you how this state can become your most trusted navigation system. Join me for the full conversation to shift from victim to hero, follow your inner compass, and wayfind through uncertainty with more compassion and peace.

Listen Again: A Compass Doesn't Draw Maps

Have you ever felt an irresistible pull toward something new, even when it didn’t make any logical sense? In this “Listen Again” episode of The Gathering Room, I tell the story of my family’s recent bold leap—leaving behind a home we adored to start anew in upstate New York—led only by intuition and a string of joyful coincidences. This conversation is all about how real freedom begins when we trust our inner compass and dare to “wayfind” toward what feels most free. Join me!

Drawing the Spirit Home

In our culture, there's nothing good about aging. But what if growing older is really a spiritual strategy, not a personal failing? What if it's the way your soul finds its way home? On this episode of The Gathering Room, I explore how the slowing down of the body allows it to fill itself with more light, more spiritual awareness, and a deeper sense of peace. Tune in to hear about “prodigies of aging” who grow more luminous with age, and how we can learn to “turn the lights on” in our own lives.
