Blue Hour
Blue Hour is a sacred listening space for creative visionaries, spiritual seekers, and sensitive souls walking the path of depth, healing, and purpose. Here we explore the convergence of shadow and light, the mysteries of life, the inner and the infinite through a tapestry of personal stories, mythic and cultural teachings, and heartfelt conversations. Hosted by Adina Arden Cooper, Shadow Guide and Holistic Therapist, and Joshua Zamrin, Soul Purpose Guide and Somatic Life Coach. Each episode is an invitation to slow down, feel more deeply and remember who you are beneath the noise. Whether you're navigating a life transition, discovering your authenticity, reclaiming lost parts of self, or seeking deeper meaning, we offer companionship on the path. With compassion and reverence, we welcome you.

All Our Relations: Seeing the Divine in One Another
In this episode of Blue Hour, Adina and Joshua explore how we relate—to family, friends, acquaintances, strangers. We discuss and how to meet triggers, dissolve spiritual superiority, and cultivate authentic compassion. This is an invitation to recognize the divine—light and dark—in one another, in ourselves, and in every facet of the living world.
Listen if you’re curious about: polarity and division, shadow work without bypass, family-of-origin dynamics, spiritual ego, nervous-system capacity, and practical ways to transmute judgment into love.
Key Themes & Takeaways
- The outer mirrors the inner. Our judgments and contractions are invitations to tend the “garden” within.
- Be with what is. Loving presence precedes wise action; fixing without presence is more resistance.
- Relational dojos. Family and everyday encounters are where our practice is tested and integrated.
- Parts belong. Don’t throw your parts “off the bus.” Give them a seat, a role, and your compassion.
- Spiritual ego watch. Hierarchies of “more evolved” keep us separate; boundaries don’t require superiority.
- All our relations. Relationship isn’t only human; honor the living field—stones, trees, clouds, machines—as sacred expression.
