Join me with special guests Sonja Linman and Ben LeRoy in a meaningful dialogue about this time in our lives and in our world. My friend Sonja and I are both able at this time in our lives to be still and have the space for quiet reflection and introspection. That gift gives us a new and fluid perspective on how to be in the world. Thank you for listening to Where the Veil Grows Thin.   You can al...

What might we find when we embrace grief rather than turn away from it? Can bereavement and beauty co-exist? And how can we navigate our fear of death?

Ben and I got together on Zoom the other day and had a short albeit rich discussion about different kinds of grief. The different layers of grief, the different names for grief. And in doing that I started thinking about how pivotal grief is in our lives and how sad it is that we spend most of our life running away from it, trying to ignore it or making excuses for it. We’re going to continue this...

Have you ever found yourself questioning how much you can let yourself be seen? How open you want to be about how you really feel about something?  How honest you are comfortable being with friends and family, how safe you feel in different relationships? And when we know someone needs us to be a certain person, to show up in their life in a certain way, how does that feel when it is not how we ar...

Join Ben and I as we explore the random encounters in life and the depth and richness that can be found in those moments. We talk about the way reminders of mortality, whether our own or someone else’s, change us. And what we do with what we learn when we wake up and step out into the world.

Defining faith is a personal, intimate thing to be asked to do. Join Ben LeRoy and I as we step into the conversation that lead us to realize that what we were talking about was just that; a definition of faith. Different for everyone. And important to have if we want to be able to move through our days and nights and come out relatively intact. Thank you for listening to Where the Veil Grows Thin...

Join Ben and I as we talk about the idea of metastatic joy and goodness; the question of how to spread goodness and the idea that it is so ingrained in us to not talk about the things we do that are good, that we forget how important it is to talk about the good things others are doing in our communities thus inspiring more of that to grow.  Thank you for listening to Where the Veil Grows Thin.  ...

Join me and my dear friend, Sonja Linman, for a 30 min conversation about grief, the great denominator of humankind....the most common thread that connects us all. We talk about our lives working with children who are grieving. How they so beautifully teach us what they need from us or the times when they cannot how we have to trust we have it in us somewhere. We talked about Sonja being a monthly...

I wanted this to be between 5 and 6 minutes and I'll get there some day but this week our moment of meditation/reflection is just over 7 minutes. Hopefully, it will be 7 minutes well spent. It is December 6th. We have just over 4 more weeks of what I'm calling 'the holidays'.  And then, Valentine's Day. These reminders, often of things we've lost, don't stop.  Le...

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about a sleepless night spent thinking about my death. Since then, I’ve had a couple of people ask me what I have seen happen to others when the reality of their death becomes very clear. What kinds of ‘shifts’ in their day to day life? What kinds of shifts in their focus? Do priorities rearrange suddenly? Join Ben and I as we discuss some of the ways people approach...

This is the first offering of a guided meditation. It will ask, if you are willing, that you listen with your eyes closed. Please don't try to listen and drive, or listen and cook, or listen and do anything else. I can promise you, it will lose something if you do. Thank you for listening to Where the Veil Grows Thin.   You can always get these  wherever you get your podcasts or for more info...

I thought this would be my first podcast of guided imagery. Not exactly meditation. Not in the sense some of you may be used to. These will be moments of grounding, thoughtful words of possibility, offerings of ‘what if’. This first one requires nothing of you but a listening ear.  Next week, I’ll ask a bit more of you if you are willing. Thank you for listening to Where the Veil Grows Thin.   You...
