What if the trip itself is the spiritual work? In this special on-location episode, Will and Karen broadcast live from Spirit Fest in Virginia Beach, joined by Samantha Erb of Edgar Cayce's A.R.E. (Association for Research and Enlightenment).Samantha breaks down why Cayce, often called the grandfather of modern metaphysics, insisted that real growth comes from lived experience, not just study. They dig into the A.R.E.'s Travel and Tour Division, founded in 1963 by Cayce's son Hugh Lynn Cayce, and why sacred-site travel to places like Lourdes and Machu Picchu can open the door to reconnecting with your "soul family" across lifetimes.Highlights include:Why Cayce believed unity and shared humanity are best understood through travel, not theoryA look at upcoming A.R.E. tours to France (Lourdes and Marian apparition sites) and Peru (a past-life regression planned at Machu Picchu)What membership actually gets you: full access to the Cayce readings archive, discounted tours, and A.R.E.'s library of classes and workshopsA tour of what's on-site at the A.R.E.'s Virginia Beach headquarters, including the meditation garden, ocean-view meditation room, and Sessions restaurantWhether you can make it to Virginia Beach in person or you're exploring from afar at EdgarCayce.org, this conversation is a reminder that sometimes the most direct path to insight starts with a plane ticket.The Skeptic Metaphysicians is a spiritual awakening podcast for open-minded thinkers who refuse to check their critical thinking at the door.

Rob and Stuart talk about how they got involved with the spiritual path and their teacher, Robert Daniel Ennis, who said that true conversation does not arise from the psychological realm but from a place senior to it. He taught co-meditation, which is self-observation while maintaining eye contact with a partner. Self-observation is not a cognitive, self-analytic process. It is an energetic event that occurs when we are present to our thoughts, feelings, and sensations. The observer is silent. Self-observation is not occurring when there is self-talk. In co-meditation, we become aware of relational habits like judgment and projection. The beginning discipline brings us to see how we are on autopilot in relationship in ways such as trying to be liked or to make everything OK. Co-meditation activates the emotional center quite a bit. Solo meditation or self-observing on our own does not activate it in the same way. The intent of co-meditation is not to fix or heal wounds. Habits emerge in relationship before we engage in language. After observing our reactions honestly, phase 2 of the process is about not acting on them, which is intentional suffering. Co-meditation is not intended as a psychological process. It can produce moments of internal silence and communion. It can be a shock to be with someone without defense. We can be in relationship with anything. Resistance is a sign the heart is not open. All agendas banish safety. To offer someone the purity of witnessing without agenda is a profound gift. Spiritual independence is a necessary step on the path since we can't surrender anything into the flow of communion if we are not independent. Rob Schmidt and Stuart Goodnick run Tayu Meditation Center and founded Many Rivers Books and Tea in Sebastopol, CA. They invite spiritual teachers, practitioners, and authors to articulate their stories on The Mystical Positivist podcast.

  This episode kicks off a special six-part Goddess series exploring the many faces, stories, and wisdom of the Divine She.    I've been working directly with Goddess energy for the last few years, and I wanted to bring in someone with deep roots in Goddess lineage to co-host this series with me.    Enter my beautiful friend, Kathleen Joan.    Kathleen is a priestess of Brigid dedicated to the resurrection of the Divine Feminine in today's world, especially for women with Christian ancestry.    She began her spiritual path in the Catholic Christian tradition, holds a dual Master's degree in theology and ministry, and spent more than 15 years in ministry both inside and outside Christian institutions.    Today, Kathleen helps women reclaim the sacredness of the wild Feminine within themselves and take their place in the return of the Divine Mother.    Together, we're sitting down with five fascinating Goddesses, listening for what their ancient stories have to say to us now, and exploring how their wisdom shows up in our businesses, our lives, our magic, and our relationship with the Divine.    And yes, there may be a little channeling of Goddess wisdom along the way.    So grab your tea, light a candle if you're feeling witchy, and come meet the Goddesses with us.    And stay to the end, because we'll also tell you where you can find more of Kathleen and her beautiful   Goddess wisdom.     Episode Highlights   01:24: Goddesses as Living Energies  Goddesses can be experienced not just as mythology, but as living energies and teachers.     02:38: The Goddess Lineup for the Series  Several goddesses are named as part of the series, including Brigid, Persephone, Mary Magdalene, Sophia, and Kali. The feminine energy includes both tenderness and fire, not only softness.   07:18: Patriarchy, Religion, and Hidden Feminine Presence  How patriarchal systems can obscure feminine divinity; a story from Portugal and Fatima illustrates the idea that sacred feminine presence can remain underneath even heavily patriarchal structures.   09:38: Why the Business Is Called Bridget's Flame  The meaning behind Kathlee's business name and why Brigid became such a powerful symbol for her.     14:42: Encountering Goddesses as Energy, Not Just Archetype  The difference between studying goddesses intellectually and actually experiencing them energetically.   18:06: Discernment: Intuition, Fear, and Divine Knowing  How to tell the difference between fear, intuition, and divine guidance.     24:18: Curiosity as a Spiritual Practice  Encouraging everyone to stay curious and notice which Goddess energies create resonance or resistance.    Mentioned  Wild Wisdom Goddess Temple is Kathleen's online circle where Christian-rooted women reclaim their whole selves as sacred through the Divine Feminine. This 13-moon journey will help you return to honoring the Sacred She within as you meet Her in Her many names & forms, supported by a loving circle of sisterhood.  The Wealthy Witch Way is Julie's membership.

Communal Living as Spiritual Practice: Friendship, Formation, and Renewing the Senses

Can we find freedom in a world of endless choice—or is deeper liberation found in the people we refuse to leave? In the first of a three-part Lectern Dialogues series, John Vervaeke is joined by Elizabeth Oldfield and her husband, Christopher Oldfield, for a conversation on intentional communal living as a spiritual practice within a Christian orientation. Elizabeth and Christopher share life with their children and three other adults in a small London home shaped by a shared rule of life: collective prayer, hospitality, study, play, administration, and the daily work of formation. They distinguish committed community from casual cohabitation, exploring how proximity, conflict, repair, and shared rhythms can cultivate deeper friendship and fellowship. The conversation connects intentional community with John's work on the philosophical Silk Road, renewing the senses, dialogical selfhood, attachment, participation, and the critique of modern individualism. It also takes seriously the risks of self-deception and toxic religion, asking what discernment and faithful communal maturation require. Guests Christopher Oldfield is a philosopher affiliated with the Faraday Institute for Science and Religion in Cambridge. His work explores wisdom, metaphysics, personhood, participation, and the sacred. Elizabeth Oldfield writes and speaks on spirituality, community, and relational life, examining how shared practices can restore connection with one another and with God.
