Soul Portals: Exploring Psychospiritual Horizons
An hour’s glimpse into the visions of teachers and guides who inspire others to live in a bigger story of soul purpose.
Many individuals seeking coaching, counselling, psychotherapy, or spiritual guidance have a feeling that life holds more potential than their current circumstances suggest. Aside from the basics of maintaining sanity and well-being in the 21st century, we can envision a better world and more personal fulfillment. Yet amidst the tumult of modern life, where are the examples of humanity's best qualities?
In this podcast series, Cedric Speyer and DeeAnna Nagel engage in conversations with psychospiritual trailblazers, amplifying their voices of wisdom and exploring their unique perspectives on human wholeness. Through their sacred journeys and professional endeavors, these individuals are ‘portals’ through which we see wider vistas of the soul journey. While their names might not grace network news or mainstream podcasts, their insights introduce invaluable aspects of ‘soul work’.
Soul work (and play) transcends the mere amalgamation of mental and emotional well-being, optimum personality traits, and worldly life skills. It delves deeper, calling forth spiritual capacities at the growing edge of our life's purpose. It allows individual talents and personal pathways to converge with what the world needs. It empowers us to heed the inner call, that paradoxically reaches beyond ourselves.
Join us monthly for an inspiring hour with those contributing to our personal and collective growth in profound ways.

Soul Portals: Exploring Psychospiritual Horizons
Writing as a Spiritual Practice
Writing coach and spiritual guide Gay Edelman helps clients ‘compose themselves’ in writing. When imaginative touchstones are elicited and shared, it is a wonderful opportunity to move from dry clinical ground to the fertile soil of soul work. In this episode Gay describes how she is a midwife for the soul, by fostering the cross-fertilization of writing and spiritual self-awareness.
Therapeutic insight will always have its place in coaching, counselling, and spiritual guidance. However, elements usually associated with literary creativity can make the difference between a clinical case history and a vibrant life story. It is often idioms, metaphors, analogies, and archetypes, which serve to make healing sessions of all kinds truly life-giving, and the writing process itself a journey of soul growth.
This is how Gay works with the whole person, by allowing dynamics of the writing process and explorations on the spiritual journey, to converge.
