Podcasts about modern spirituality

Today, we're getting into the raw, unvarnished terrain of human longing - that aching space where despair meets unexpected grace. I'm excited to welcome back David Zahl on the podcast. He isn't here to offer another self-help platitude, but to explore something far more profound: how we find relief in a world that constantly demands more, faster, better. Imagine grace not as a churchy concept, but as a radical interruption - a surprising breath of fresh air in a culture suffocating on its own expectations. We'll talk about play, productivity, regret, and those moments when God whispers, "You are more than your achievements." This conversation is a map for the weary, a compass for those feeling crushed by life's relentless pressures. We'll explore how grace shows up in unexpected places - through music, through suffering, through the simple act of truly listening. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, stuck, or like you're perpetually running on an endless treadmill, this conversation is your permission to breathe. To rest. To receive. So join us as we figure out what it means to be human in a world that rarely slows down.David Zahl is the founder and director of Mockingbird Ministries, editor-in-chief of the Mockingbird website (www.mbird.com), and co-host of both The Mockingcast and The Brothers Zahl podcasts. He and his family live in Charlottesville, Virginia, where he also serves on the staff of Christ Episcopal Church. Zahl is the author of Seculosity: How Career, Parenting, Technology, Food, Politics, and Romance Became Our New Religion and What To Do About It and Low Anthropology: The Unlikely Key to a Gracious View of Others (and Yourself). His next book, The Big Relief: The Urgency of Grace for a Worn-Out World comes out in April 2025 from Brazos Press. His writing has been featured in The Washington Post, Christianity Today, and The Guardian, among other venues.David's Book:The Big ReliefDavid's Recommendations:Evangelism in an Age of DespairMeditations for MortalsSubscribe to Our Substack: Shifting CultureConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@allnations.usGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

So... what do 5G microwaves, a clothing line made of tin foil, and a bunch of confiscated dildos have in common? Is this even a spiritual podcast anymore?  Wtf am I listening to?We're back on our bullshit. In this Serendipity Session, we dive headfirst into the absurd, the spiritual, and the conspiratorial. Eyebrows will be raised, but we don't give a fuck. We cover everything from M.I.A.'s new anti-5G fashion line (because, apparently, 5G protection is high fashion now), to P. Diddy's arrest and the authorities' peculiar discovery of his, um, adult extracurricular props. But wait, there's more! Along the way, we talk about the dangers of TikTok baby witches casting spells like it's a high school chemistry experiment, and we go off on white girls who jump into spirituality with no shame about colonizing closed spiritual practices from other cultures. We discuss the philosophical Ship of Theseus (because, duh, you need to learn something esoteric in every episode). And we also explore the weird dynamics that arise when spiritual readers try to read for other spiritual readers (spoiler alert: it doesn't always go well). If you're in the mood for some Clairannoyance chaos mixed with on-the-spot spiritual insights, you've landed on the right episode. If you're looking for something else... then go listen to our 60 other episodes. Also, go rate us 5 stars. THANK YOU LOVE YOU!********************************Episode ResourcesBook a mediumship reading with Katie O! Join the ranks of her esteemed clients like Chelsea Handler!Learn about the Ship of Theseus********************************About The Serendipity Sessions:We began The Serendipity Sessions as a series in the Clairannoyance podcast so we could have real-time unscripted conversations. Unlike our subject-specific deep dives and guest interview episodes, The Serendipity Sessions is a raw reflection of the genuine bond we share. We have no rules and no episode notes in advance, just a free-flowing exchange of thoughts and emotions. It's an exploration of the outer banks of consciousness where untamed treasures are hidden away. We believe one sudden insight can hold immense value, far beyond most meticulously planned discussions. Each session is a unique encounter with chance as we defy routine and enjoy a spontaneous dance with spirituality. We aim to keep these episodes as evergreen as possible, so you can find your way here whenever you need to. And hopefully, you'll encounter pieces of yourself every time you join us.********************************Podcast & Host Resources:Clairannoyance InstagramClairannoyance TikTokClairannoyance WebsiteMegan's InstagramMegan's TikTokMegan's WebsiteRyan's InstagramRyan's TikTokRyan's Website

Gary Lachman, renowned writer and historian of Western esoteric tradition, shares his insights and experiences in his new book, Maurice Nicoll: Forgotten Teacher of the Fourth Way. This book delves into the life and teachings of Maurice Nicoll, a relatively obscure yet fascinating figure who bridged the ideas of Carl Jung, G.I. Gurdjieff, and Immanuel Swedenborg. Gary elaborates on the principles of the Fourth Way, developed by Gurdjieff, which integrates methods from various spiritual traditions to cultivate a higher state of consciousness in everyday life. Exploring Nicoll's contributions, Gary discusses the implications of his extensive dream diaries and his unique approach to sacred sexuality. He highlights how Nicoll's early work with Jung and later fascination with Swedenborg influenced his spiritual development and teachings, enriching his interpretation of esoteric Christianity. The conversation reflects on the relevance of Nicoll's teachings in today's world, considering the contemporary spiritual landscape and the ongoing quest for personal development and higher consciousness. Gary also shares his personal experiences and anecdotes from his involvement in the Gurdjieff Foundation, offering listeners a firsthand account of the practical application of the Fourth Way principles. He explores the controversial and lesser-known aspects of Nicoll's work, including his radical insights that have made a significant impact on his followers and the spiritual community. In a stimulating conversation, Gary and Jason bridge historical esoteric practices with modern spiritual exploration, offering a profound understanding of Maurice Nicoll's contributions to the Fourth Way and beyond. They discuss the importance of self-remembering and the harmonious development of man, highlighting the enduring significance of Nicoll's teachings in the pursuit of higher consciousness. Enjoy the show!

Anatoly Yakorev is a guide who has a profound impact on people's life paths instantly. His presence alone is transformative; you become laser-focused and gain clarity on your journey. Intrigued by this, I had the chance to interview Anatoly in an undisclosed location (Anatoly had to escape the craziness in Russia) where we discussed modern spirituality, covering the good, the bad, and the ugly, at times. • Anatoly's Website:

#theosophy #blavatsky #theosophicalsociety In this detailed exploration of the Theosophical Society and its founder, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, we delve into the intricate world of esoteric knowledge, spiritual practices, and the blending of Eastern and Western philosophies. The lecture provides a comprehensive overview of the Society's foundational principles, examining Blavatsky's pivotal role and her influential works, "The Secret Doctrine" and "Isis Unveiled." Key topics include the Society's meditation practices, characterised by an active engagement with esoteric truths aimed at achieving higher states of consciousness. The incorporation of Eastern philosophies, notably Hinduism and Buddhism, is highlighted as a revolutionary aspect of the Society's practices. The lecture further explores the Society's approach to the study and interpretation of sacred texts, emphasizing the synthesis of diverse spiritual teachings. The role of esoteric knowledge and psychic research within the Theosophical Society is also examined, with a focus on the pursuit of understanding the deeper truths of the universe and the human mind's potential. The episode distinguishes these endeavours from the era's more sensationalist spiritualist practices, positioning them within the context of spiritual evolution and ancient wisdom. References from both primary and secondary sources, including works by Marion Meade, William Kingsland, Peter Washington, and others, provide an academically grounded insight into the history and influence of the Theosophical Society. This lecture is ideal for those interested in religious studies, particularly in areas of magic, esotericism, Paganism, shamanism, and the occult. CONNECT & SUPPORT

How do breathwork and spirituality relate to one another? For those who have "lost" our religion, how do we start to navigate what spirituality really means to us?This is, in part, what Ben Holt came on the podcast to share with us today. Ben is a breathworker and teacher whose long journey of coming home to himself laid the foundation for creating a big, beautiful impact in the world through his offerings and businesses.In this conversation, Ben bridges ancient wisdom with modern insights to share how plant medicine, breathwork, and other holistic practices have supported him along his own spiritual journey – and how technology is part of the awakening that, in his eyes, is elevating our collective consciousness in a positive way. We unravel the historical significance of breath in various spiritual traditions, discussing into its role as a bridge connecting the physical and spiritual worlds and the science behind intentional breathing and its profound effects on our physiology and mental well-being. Ben sees breathwork as a potent tool for supporting people in untethering from the societal conditioning that's keeping us in a state of human suffering so we can come home to what is truly meaningful to us.Takeaways from this episode:If you see someone who has achieved success, there's been a decade of  doubts, fear, and unworthiness they've overcome. Despite the negativity visible in the world around us, we are evolving in an upward trend. Be open to seeing reality for what it actually is, instead of fixating on it being something familiar to you.You can experience "God" within yourself, and breathwork is a way of helping you do that.Magic is all around you, but you have to be willing to let go of everything you've been told to truly see it. ----This episode is part of Brilliance of Breathwork Month, an initiative bringing greater awareness to this transformative healing modality.----Meet Ben HoltBen Holt is the founder of Connect and Evolve, an experiential program focused on providing resources for preventative health as well as full-spectrum wellness and spiritual growth.

This week, we're welcoming THE ICONIC Leya Van Doren to the Vortex and woooosh, are her words RICH with meaning, wisdom, and deep consideration. Leya is one of the best-spoken and most insightful people we have ever had a conversation with and we are buzzing with excitement for you to hear this convo! IT'S SO GOOD. We start by diving into Leya's recent move to Washington, DC, and marvel at the way cities create a microcosm for the full spectrum of the human experience. Then, we get to hear Leya's uber-unique origin story growing up in a 10-person family with a Soviet mother and moving to an ashram at age 14. She speaks to her deep roots in music, homeopathy, and spiritual practice (particularly in the yogic & Hindu traditions). We hold deep contemplations around the commercialization of spirituality and the rich Indigenous & cultural traditions that the modern world has separated so fully from their source. Leya believes that nature is our greatest teacher when it comes to returning to the purity of these spiritual practices, and she shares her most postent lessons & learnings from nature as an herbalist!

When is the last time you prayed? About 32% of U.S. adults said they seldom or never pray (up from 18% in 2007) with 29% of U.S. adults reporting they had no religious affiliation (an increase of 6 percentage points from 2016), with Millennials leading that shift. American adults are connecting less and less with religion and by extension the Church. For those interested in seeking both, how do you navigate that without compromising your contemporary beliefs on diversity, equity and inclusion?   This week, Syd sits down with Millennial church leaders, Joslyn Henderson and Demarius Newsome, for an uplifting conversation on the necessity (or lack thereof) of Church for younger generations in S4 Ep8 How to Navigate Modern Spirituality in the Church.   Minister Joslyn Henderson is the Director of Worship Arts at a multicultural, multigenerational, inclusive church in Northeast Washington D.C.

So, we've been wanting to have more conversations around modern spirituality. And Last November we spent the whole month talking about the power of spirituality but we don't just want to relegate it to one month. So, we reached out to licensed clinical psychologist, Jordana Jacobs to talk about modern spirituality in a therapeutic context. Jordana currently practices in New York City and has years of experience treating patients there. She completed her predoctoral internship at Bellevue Hospital Center and postdoctoral fellowship at Columbia University. She also trained at various other major hospitals, including Memorial Sloan Kettering and Mount Sinai Beth Israel Medical Center, gaining experience working with a diverse range of patients, including people diagnosed with terminal illness, substance users, and emerging adults. Although she considers herself a generalist, she writes, speaks, and leads retreats on the relationships between love and death, which was the primary focus of her dissertation. Her aim is to help people accept inevitable mortality, so that they may live and love more fully. Learn more about Jordana's work here: https://www.drjordanajacobs.com/In this episode, we dive deep into the topic of modern spirituality, how Jordana came to recognize spirituality in her own life as well as her professional practice, how love and death are cornerstones of any spiritual practice, and how she helps her patients get closer to their own spirituality. So, without any further ado, I'm thrilled to present the wise and wonderful Jordana Jacobs.

We often think of the late nineteenth century in Western societies as an era of immense technological and scientific change, moving from religion to secularism, from faith to logic. But today's guest, Dominic Green, author of The Religious Revolution: The Birth of Modern Spirituality, 1848-1898 (Farrar, Straus and Giroux; April 19, 2022) religion in the past was much stronger, and much weirder, than we give it credit. Tsame period that introduced Darwin's theory of evolution, democratic revolutions, mass urbanization, and the Industrial Revolutions, also brought with it new kinds of religiosity. It wasn't an absence of religion, but instead new forms of spirituality that filled the vacuum left behind by the diminished prominence of the Church in European and American politics and life.While fueled by rapid scientific and technological innovation, these formative decades were also a time of great social strife. The same period that welcomed the invention of the telephone and the motor vehicle, the de jure abolishment of slavery and serfdom, the first women's rights convention at Seneca Falls, and countless seminal artistic and literary movements, was also plagued by the aggressive rise of capitalism and colonialism, subjecting entire populations to the West's bottomless appetite for money and power. In effect, another transformation was underway: the religious revolution.Green chronicles this spiritual upheaval, taking us on a journey through the lives and ideas of a colorful cast of thinkers. He traces the influence of new Sanskrit translations of Hindu and Buddhist texts on the work of Ralph Waldo Emerson. He follows the rise of occultism from upstate New York to Bombay to Italy. He examines the ways in which religion and nationalism entwined for Wagner and Nietzsche. We get warts-and-all portraits of the many figures who profoundly influenced the religious shifts of this era, including big names like Marx, Darwin, Baudelaire, and Thoreau, as well as some lesser-known figures such as Éliphas Levi and--my personal favorite of the bunch--Helena Blavatsky. In response to the challenges brought on by industrialization, globalization, and political unrest, these figures found themselves connecting with their religious impulses in groundbreaking ways, inspiring others to move away from the oppressive weight of organized faith and toward the intimacies and opportunities that spirituality offered.
