Who doesn't love a happy accident!? Serendipity is the unexpected thing that happens in the space between you and the world, that you have the ability to notice and take action on. In a time of many great global challenges when collectively we need all the help we can get, is there a way for each of us to intentionally create more serendipitous opportunity from seeming mishaps? In this conversation, serendipity researcher Wendy Ross shares her thoughts on the roles of wisdom & skill, cultivated mess, attunement to the environment, time & perspective, risking failure AND having the practical and emotional resources to be able to absorb that failure, in the manifestation of the positive phenomenon that is serendipity.

"The world is not just the way that we think it is." Questioning assumptions can be anxiety provoking, but possibility lives in the realm of what we don't know yet. In this conversation Vlad Glăveanu, Founder of the Possibility Studies Network, shares his thoughts around the importance of embracing "not knowing" (and all of the discomfort that comes with that) for innovation, collective change, and finding the joy and power of wonder.

Paul Shorthouse of Circular Economy Leadership Canada gives the lowdown on how to reduce, eliminate, reuse or recover up to 50% of the carbon currently lost as waste in our cycles of production. Maybe the economy AND the environment can both win if we turn our linear mindsets, models and systems into circular ones? (PS...This is so much more than chucking the "right" thing in the recycling bin.)

How to put possibility at the center of an exploration into possibility? Simple...ask the archetypes! Working through the lens of an archetypal understanding of self, along with the powerful approach for personal inquiry that is Family Constellations, can bring great illumination into any issue. In this episode I share a family constellations approach for understanding how your dominant archetypes may be unwittingly playing against you as a part of the issues that present in your life. Includes:
-intro to archetypes
-intro to family constellations approach
-guided activities to help you use an archetypes constellation process
-how this helped me re-orient my relationship to "possibility".Some references:

Samhain on October 31st marks the Celtic New Year, and is a time where the veils between the worlds are said to be the thinnest. What does this mean for our outer experience and for our inner one? Here I take a look at the origins of Samhain, how the customs of modern day Halloween are rooted in many of the Samhain rituals of our ancestors, and how we can make use of this kind of liminal time, crossing the thresholds of our own consciousness in to the challenging but rewarding territory of facing the shadow within. I move in to a story of the legendary Irish mythological figure Fionn mac Cumhaill (Finn McCool) who, on Samhain, faces a fire breathing fire on the Hill of Tara to reclaim his rightful inheritance. The symbology of this story is rich, and like all myths, can speak deeply to our unconscious knowing.
A big thank you to storyteller Daniel Alison, for his telling of this Fionn mac Cumhaill story. See Podcast — House of Legends

We are each immersed in personal, collective and universal energetic fields, but what are these fields anyway and how do people work with them for the purposes of healing? In this conversation with Akashic Records reader Megan Sirett, we share our own insights on "the field", how we approach it, and what we can all learn from leaning in to this layer of understanding about our true natures.

April 2022 marks the 100 year anniversary of the (re)introduction of Reiki by Mikao Usui into our conscious human experience. That this healing ray has gone from being shared through a spiritual empowerment experience of one Japanese man in 1922, to now being sacredly held and used by millions of people across the globe, is a testament to its power and also to the deep integrity of Mikao Usui and the first few generations of Reiki Masters. This episode was recorded as part of a virtual event on April 3rd 2022, held by podcast host Sarah Knight in her capacity as a Reiki Master and Teacher, to celebrate this important anniversary. It includes an introductory talk, a guided journey into the Reiki field with her lineage, distance healing to the conflict in Ukraine, and an opportunity to include those people near and dear that could use a little more light too. Special thanks to all who attended and supported the creation of this event.
