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, I share a way I've been trying to stay connected to love ones who aren't around as much anymore. We talk about all the little things our days hold, all the ways we connect with each other, ourselves, and the Sacred: small conversations, reports on nothing in particular, song lyrics that are stuck in our head. On the surface, none of this is important or has meaning, but beneath and between this ordinary sharing, is a fully formed life, a sacred self and ground where we grow and reach out to others.
The examen is nothing more than a time to listen to these little conversations. It is a vessel that holds the tiny things that seem so inconsequential, but together form our heart, soul, and sense of self, even our belonging in the world.
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.
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 week, 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!
