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
Crossing the Bridge Between Rationality and Religion
Crossing the Bridge Between Rationality and Religion, hosted by Cedric Speyer and DeeAnna Nagel, in conversation with Kyriacos C. Markides
Our December guest is a renowned author of books with fascinating firsthand accounts of Christian mysticism within the Orthodox tradition. Originally a sociology professor, Markides’ own journey led from academic agnosticism and skepticism to faith and spiritual practice. His personal field research and observations over thirty years included living with Christian mystics, hermits, and saints. In this episode, we take a closer look at our collective crossroads; a critical point in evolutionary history when the rational, mechanistic model can no longer be sustained, yet a new vision of reality has not fully emerged. Beyond the breakdown of social structures and the rise of entrenched fundamentalist reactions, the best of science and the best of religious wisdom traditions can converge, leading to integral, holistic breakthroughs. Scientific studies related to death itself, the evidence on nonlocality of mind, and shamanic states of consciousness, all contribute to bridging the gap between science and spirituality.
