A weekly journey across the landscape of the collective soul. In this series, “In Search of Soul” we explore the diverse ways people stumble into, recognize or craft their sense of soul and its expression in the world. Each interview attempts to put language to experiences and expressions that often defy clear description. Weaving in the voice of each person, Dan reflects on the key themes that emerge within each conversation while April spends time exploring the back stories that emerge as the matrix from which a meaningful life develops. Each episode provides some insight into how you might construct your own deep and vibrant sense of soul. So, give yourself a moment to journey a little deeper into the human experience. Welcome to Soul Forum. Curated by: Dan Senter, who brings over 35 years of experience engaging in the spiritual journey with individuals, congregations, and the community. April Bell, founder of Tree of Life Legacies, a storytelling and wisdom keeping project in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Soul Forum: A conversational journey across the landscape of the collective soul.
In this series - SoulBody - we explore the wisdom and wonder within our own bodies that can provide a pathway into the experience of soul. The season begins with reflections on the body each of us inhabits and ends with reflections on the wider earth or cosmic body. There is plenty of reasons to trust that any access to a relationship with the divine, or mystery, or the very essence of life, is primarily accessed through the body. Can we reverse the idea that the sacred has figured out how to incarnate, or become flesh and bone, and explore how our sense of the sacred manifests from within every body? How might you honor and explore the body that invites you into wonder?
Welcome to Soul Forum.

Using poetry by Wendell Berry, Dan explores what it means to move beyond the experience of body as functional to the way it holds deep wisdom that we rarely tend to. As that inner wisdom finds voice, it often appears as intuition. Are there some ways you might try to enhance your listening skills? Dan and Nina continue the conversation into the story your body might be wanting to tell.

Nina knows that there is a hidden book within every body. A book that is built chapter by chapter, story by story. Your body stores memories and moments that can invite you deeper into awareness. How might you integrate the layers of your body's story into your sense of soul? How can you tap into the sensations of your body in a way that allows you to read your own complex and winding story. Nina’s wisdom about the body will invite you to look deeper within as you seek a path into your most authentic self.

In this episode, April sits down with with Jenn to discover more about her unique journey. April and Jenn talk about the body-mind-spirit aspect of getting physical and the different ways that is expressed for different people. Jenn’s perspective is that as one finds and explores their own personal passions in the physical realm, it serves as a gateway and access point to tap into their most powerful selves. We hope you enjoy hearing this conversation and maybe notice for yourself the places your body leads you to your own unbound self.

Dan picks up on the content from Episode 4 to explore more fully Jenn’s notion of the way the body has capacity to let all the distractions drift into the background as it is drawn into fully showing up. A capacity mirrored in many spiritual traditions that invite a kind of “letting go” which allows you to find your most authentic self.
In what ways can you begin to let go and allow your body to show up more fully? And as it does…you may discover a new landscape that draws you into your sense of soul.

Jenn has spent a lifetime working with the human body. Training athletes to perform at their peak, working with folks from all walks of life looking to engage their bodies in activities that bring them joy and health. Jenn has discovered along the way that everybody has this capacity to transcend the wild array of distractions and to show up fully, to be focused in a way that feels like true presence. This “flow” state provides an experience of presence that serves as a foundation for being. Can it be that your body knows the way home to your most authentic self?

In this episode, we bring together a philosopher of religion, a few personal insights, and the poetry of Walt Witman to invite us more fully into a relationship with our own bodies. As we prepare for a deeper dive into the place of our body's expression of soul, how do we foster the best relationship and expectations for the role our body might play in the shaping of our sense of soul.
Join Dan as he wraps up Pt. 2 of our introduction to this series. Bring your body along for the ride.

In Western religious traditions there is often a wedge driven between body and soul. It can feel like the spiritual can exist on a plane that ignores the body at best. But, body not only matters, it is for many the pathway to a full experience of what it means to live in harmony with all we imagine as sacred.
Orienting more fully to body can invite each of us to feel the soul's journey in our flesh and bones, and maybe even to find some deeper connection to the earth / cosmic body of which we are a part.
In this Episode, Dan lays the groundwork for the way ahead. Bring your body along for the ride.

Don and Carolyn have a magical life story. Their reflections are an invitation to look more deeply under the hood of those key stories that serve as milestones in your own life. Do they serve as the foundation for the way soul might manifest in your life?
