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.

Drawing the Spirit Home

Ever played Minecraft? My five-year-old pulled me into it, and I started seeing it as a metaphor for how we move through real life. 

On this Gathering Room, I share stories from my journey through decades of Survival mode, my awakening into Creative mode, and what it feels like now to live mostly in Adventure mode, guided by something wiser than my everyday mind. 

If you’ve ever felt stuck in Survival mode or longed for more magic, guidance, and meaning in your life, this episode is for you. Join me!

Level Up from Survival Mode

On this episode of The Gathering Room, I explore the tendency to assign difficult or unsavory tasks to “Tomorrow Me,” thinking I’ll magically want to do them in the future. Tune in to hear personal stories, practical tips to plan things out of joy instead of obligation, and why it’s kinder and wiser to honor what your “Today Self” genuinely wants and needs. If you’re ready to break the cycle of overcommitting your future self and find more happiness in the present, this episode is for you. Join me!
