The Soul Gym is all about Secular Spirituality. This phrase is a great idea to pick apart. Have a listen to discern how it can apply to your life.

Why does peace take effort, why does anything take effort. Our modern human experience champions ease and effortlessness. We continue to stream line and "hack" our lives so we can do less. Life and living requires effort though. We must put forth effort for true growth, change and possibility. This is true of peace, it isn't something that happens as the result of ideal conditions be...

If God is all there is...this may be a radical notion because we collectively in the religious and spiritual communities spend a lot of time, energy and money on telling people was ISN'T God. In this episode we'll explore the radical idea that God/Spirit/The Creative Law of life is the only thing happening. Are you willing to even put the things you don't understand or like into this c...

How can we bring forward this seemingly dark aspect of US history to activate our spiritual practice in the Soul Gym. You can we can, and we will! Join me in this episode as we not only look at our collective history on this day June 19th, 2024, but also how this reflection can assist us in soulful living!

Join Rev. Darrell as he begins to unpack the new Soul Gym framework.  This episode focuses on integration, incorporating ALL of ourselves.  The areas where we excel and the areas where we may be incompetent, we need to integrate it ALL.  This is a fundamental aspect of living a soulful life. We embrace integration in today’s episode.

I am concerned that as our life continues to find a new "normal" that a part of that normal is anxiety, chaos, overwhelming fear and more. And instead of finding ways to be in healthy relationship with the challenges of life, we either numb ourselves or look outside of ourselves for something or someone to save us. In this episode, I invite you to partner with me in exploring how we can...

How well do you make sense of your past, embrace your today (whether you like it or not, grin) in order to step powerfully into your tomorrow? Living a life of synergy is just that. Join me in this episode as we begin to explore a new model I have been working with in the Soul Gym...the process of living a life of synergy.

Have you ever stopped to realize there isn't really more or less time in any day. There is just time. And yes we manage it to the best of our ability with goals, priorities, calendars, scheduling apps etc. But have you ever stopped to think about what your relationship is to time? You can use as many tools to manage it that you'd like, however, your relationship to time is what really impa...

I am back from a week long retreat and had many powerful lessons in "staying in the room". Confronting our own stuff and staying with it and confronting the hard things in the relationships of our life and staying in the room when it gets uncomfortable.

The soul does not thrive stagnation, it needs daily conscious movement in the mind, body & spirit. This is the essence of Soul Gym, engaging in wide variety of exercises on a regular basis, to live a soulful life.

So often our humanity, i.e. the ego, wants to know it all, control it all and to have it all RIGHT NOW! But often times this just isn't happening for a whole list of reasons, known and unknown. This is our humanity. We want all our life, the way we want it right now! I was there just 24 hours ago and was stomping around in the murky waters of self-hatred, doubt, anger, sadness and discontent....

In this episode we explore the power of giving and maintaining our attention on the "what" vs. the "how" of our visions and desires. We want to know how to get there....did you know how to get where you are today 10 years ago, probably not, you may have had ideas, but what was and is most important is learning to navigate the path towards our life desires. This is where visioni...

One of the foundational practices in the Soul Gym is Visioning. This entire month of January we'll focus on this practice. Let this episode welcome you into the new year, and the new realm of possibility of soulful living!

What if living a soulful life was grounded in remembering that we aren't separate from God, Spirit, Universal Presence or whatever we want to call..."it". This is the crux of Soul Gym, doing practices and exercises to remember our inherent connection to all that is. This episode offers a reading and practice to inspire you to stay connected.

Life seems to be one conflict after another, whether it is global or personal wars or struggles, we have something tugging at us all the time. What if there was a small slice of calm in the midst of that struggle. What would it feel like to have some calm to balance out the suffering? That is what we explore in this episode. Discover what peace is possible for you right now.

What is it that life is asking you to better understand about yourself in relationship to it? This is the core question at the heart of today's episode. I had a bumpy start to my day today and realized my life was calling me to look at my thoughts and opinions of myself. Once I did I felt liberated and free to step into my day powerfully. To stay in relationship with our life, to be aware...th...

Imagine stepping into any situation....and everyone on the planet interacting with one another....with the common intention of leaving any place, situation, job or relationship better than we found it....just imagine.

Are you feeling inspired? I don't all the time and have at my disposal all sorts of resources to bring my mind and heart back to a space of inspiration and resiliency to thrive another day.

The world can be a scary place, but we don't always have to be in fear.
