Welcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, we look at two aspects of what it means to look ahead and set intentions. We consider goal setting and ticking off things from our to-do list as a way to nourish and provision ourselves for what's coming up. But we also consider how this focus on getting things done can suppress our ability and willingness to hear the wild and untamed voice of Spirit calling out to us, and inviting us to adventure something wholly new.
We talk about how scary and vulnerable it can feel to get our hopes up when we risk dreaming big and stepping into the unknown and out of our comfort zone. We talk about how Spirit, in its wild and untamed form, will always ask us to dream and live beyond our fear.
If you're interested in the free, illustrated mini book on the examen that I mention in the podcast, you can find it here:
This will also connect you to my newsletter which comes out about twice a month and is filled with community and resources for your spiritual exploration and wondering.
If you're interested in the small group work around the examen, please email me directly at: jen@jencobbleworks.com. I'd love to hear if this interests you!
I'm Jen Cobble Willhoite, a contemplative storyteller, spiritual tool designer, and life-long soul seeker. My path is formed and framed by questions more than answers. I'm more comfortable wondering and wandering about things spiritual than I am in ideology, religion, or dogma.
My soul language and connection with Spirit is primarily grounded in Celtic Spirituality, science, nature, seasonal cycles, myth, folklore, and stories of all kinds. I do have roots in progressive Christianity that I sometimes speak from. My tap root, though, is ordinary life. I believe enlightenment is rhythmic, unfolding, and found in our everyday experiences and selves. I also offer tools and courses on my modern interpretation of the examen: a daily ritual of looking back, looking within, and looking ahead to cultivate a rapport with your inner wisdom and the Sacred as you understand it.
Every few weeks, I share an episode from my own spiritual explorations, offering invitations for you to explore these themes on your own. Thanks for journeying with me!
