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
Facing Our Fears as Privileged People: A Social Justice Challenge
Good people of privilege are increasingly aware of racial injustice but are often unsure how to venture into challenging dialogues and spaces, and even afraid to ‘go there’. In this episode of Soul Portals, we explore how to value risk-taking in this domain as the path toward a more equitable and just world. The experiences of our guest Rev. Teri McDowell Ott – including learning, teaching, leading, following, going, and staying – have informed her work with diverse populations as the chaplain of a liberal arts college and as a volunteer in a men's state prison. The vocational challenge, including mistakes in often tense settings, has forced her to confront and wrestle with the systems and structures that have privileged her as a white Christian woman. With humility, she relates how her risk-taking has led to profound changes in herself and her community.
