A journey across the landscape of the collective soul.
We explore the diverse ways people stumble into, recognize or craft their sense of soul and its expression in the world. We attempt to put language to experiences and expressions that often defy clear description.
Weaving in the voice of our soulful interviewees, Dan Senter reflects on key themes that emerge within conversation, while April Bell spends time exploring the back stories that serve as the matrix from which a meaningful life develops. Settle in and journey a little deeper into the human experience. Welcome to Soul Forum!
Amber (aka; Sheilajit) is a performance artist who weaves her deep connection to the earth and the cosmos into dance and music. Her reflections on the ways she channels the wisdom and medicine of the cosmos is a wonderful reminder to us all; we are not just our physical bodies, we are the 13.8 Billion year long story of the Universe.
How are you working to collaborate with this Cosmic Body?
Dan and Amber discuss how such a journey takes shape in her life, and its impact on the way she views herself and the world we share.

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.

S2E18: Gaia as SoulBody - Karen (pt.3)
In the previous two episodes, Karen and Dan discussed the different ways she finds her soul within the earth body. In this conversation, April speaks with her about the origins of her journey from waking up in domestication to becoming feral, wild and free; all while learning to coexist with the earth body, developing a more symbiotic relationship with this beloved planet we all call home.

S2E17: Gaia as SoulBody - Karen (pt.2)
When all you imagine of yourself is integrated into the rhythms, patterns, and sustaining energy of the planet, where do you derive your sense of soul? In this second episode, Karen continues to explore her perspective on the character of this most intimate relationship and how it informs her self-understanding, and her deepest engagement with world. As the episode concludes, her life as an environmental activist begins to shift as she copes with a planet in crisis and discovers a hidden grace in the inevitability of climate collapse.
