    The Divine Heart: The Foundation of It All

    The Divine Heart: The Foundation of It All

    A new season of EllieFlow and The Fountain is emerging! The same great offerings, but with more energy and power!

    On this episode, Ellie shares the internal reorganization process she has been through in the last 7 weeks, and how these shifts have called her to focus on the foundational of belief systems that allow for flow and transformation. Ellie speaks to the intersection of our humanity and our divinity,  the beauty and energy alive in you, and the power of coming into conscious relationship with all parts of yourself and greater being. She explores the importance of moving with pain on the path of liberation, as well as releasing the need to force or push anything to happen. Lastly, she offers space for you to turn toward yourself and see what is here for you right now, and what foundations in your life need to be remembered, or rearranged.

    The Mythic Imagination of Amy Filbin

    The Mythic Imagination of Amy Filbin

    We're thrilled to introduce you to this week's guest, Amy Filbin — a multidisciplinary practitioner who artfully and skillfully synthesizes her academic, psychological and spiritual knowledge to help clients across the world. In this episode, Amy traverses tarot, astrology, hypnotherapy and beyond to illuminate the obstacles that keep people stuck in life. 

    Amy's story is profound. She not only enlightens us about the archetypal "Fool's Journey" in tarot, but she opens up about her own Fool's Journey — her life story — which is both singular and universal all at once. Her story is her own, yet you can't help but find yourself within it. In true Gemini fashion, Amy has moved through many of life's contradictions and dichotomies to become personally and professionally resilient. From addiction to recovery, from love to loss, from Greece to Alaska...her trials and triumphs are a testament to the transformative potential of embracing the path of self-discovery. 

    You'll hit play to behold her mythic imagination. But it's her breathtaking humanness that will resonate long after the episode concludes.

    Amy's book recommendation mentioned in this episode: 
    Boundaries & Protection by Pixie Lighthorse

    Awakenings & Spiritual Genetics: Part 1

    Awakenings & Spiritual Genetics: Part 1

    Is spirituality something people are predisposed to experiencing? Do your genetics make a difference? What external forces are at play that might cause someone to become more spiritual? 

    Spiritual awakenings are a common topic in the spiritual community, but not often something that we dissect and explore in-depth. This is the first installment of our three-part series (well...we think it'll be three parts) where we'll explore how and why spiritual awakenings occur. 

    In this first episode, we share stories about our own spiritual awakenings and discuss common ways people seem to experience them. We preview some larger topics that we'll further dive into for parts two and three in this series, and we also invite listeners to write in with their own spiritual awakening stories so we can share them in a future episode as part of this series!

    A Cubby Hole for Life's Clutter with Erik Quigley

    A Cubby Hole for Life's Clutter with Erik Quigley

    What if spirituality is just a place to stash life's chaos? A container to help you find peace with all your clutter? In this modern world, spirituality can be so complex to the point that it's off-putting for many people. Life is messy regardless... so shouldn't spirituality help you tidy up your soul?  

    Erik Quigley joins us to offer a completely different perspective on spiritual living. Unlike most of our guests, Erik is not a professional spiritual practitioner. His point of view is refreshing for this podcast — someone who identifies as spiritual but doesn't make a career revolving around it. Erik runs his own successful creative agency, Uncommon Crowd. After meeting Clairannoyance co-host Ryan on TikTok, the two decided to collaborate and recently launched a business together: BizmosCEO. Like most people, Erik wants to live a fulfilling life. His casual approach to spirituality helps him achieve that goal.

    February 2024 Astrology Forecast: Play the Infinite Game

    February 2024 Astrology Forecast: Play the Infinite Game

    ***NOTE: We had some audio issues at first so you'll hear a funny break around 15:25. This took a while for us to fix, so it derailed our recording a while and we were short on time. We had to move through the astrology forecast this month a little faster than we originally planned. It's still an excellent episode though, obviously. Enjoy the chaos!

    February is a short month, and this is a short forecast, but there is a surprising amount of astrological energy playing out! We do our best to condense these themes down into bite-sized pieces for you to make this month as fruitful as possible.

    Major astrology topics we cover in this episode include: the New Moon in Aquarius, the Full Moon in Virgo, the 5 planets changing signs, what it means to have an abundance of energy in Aquarius, how Pluto is getting awakened this month, and the significance of the conjunction between Chiron and the North Node in Aries. 

    We're relating this month's energy to the concept of "repair" - which isn't about fixing something that's broken, but about getting on the right track. In order to achieve repair, we suggest learning how to play "The Infinite Game."

    About The Serendipity Sessions:
    We began The Serendipity Sessions as a series in the Clairannoyance podcast so we could have real-time unscripted conversations. Unlike our subject-specific deep dives and guest interview episodes, The Serendipity Sessions is a raw reflection of the genuine bond we share. We have no rules and no episode notes in advance, just a free-flowing exchange of thoughts and emotions. It's an exploration of the outer banks of consciousness where untamed treasures are hidden away. We believe one sudden insight can hold immense value, far beyond most meticulously planned discussions. Each session is a unique encounter with chance as we defy routine and enjoy a spontaneous dance with spirituality. We aim to keep these episodes as evergreen as possible, so you can find your way here whenever you need to. And hopefully, you'll encounter pieces of yourself every time you join us.

    Prayer Practice | “Listening Intercession” | Anne Grizzle

    Prayer Practice | “Listening Intercession” | Anne Grizzle

    This week, we are sharing a "Space for God" devotional offered by Anne Grizzle (a Spiritual Director and faculty member at Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation). Anne guides us through a time of listening intercession. Too often in our prayer, we jump right into praying for what we think we should pray for without asking the Lord to place on our hearts the people and things he would want us to pray for. Anne helps us make space to listen and receive God's prayer requests for us, others, and the world.

    AI Spiritual Direction with Bruce Tallman

    The Path to Spiritual Growth and Enlightenment

    In the digital age where distractions are at every turn, the journey towards spiritual growth and enlightenment has never been more crucial. Spiritual direction, a sacred practice that has its roots in ancient traditions, offers a beacon of light to those seeking inner peace, purpose, and connection. This transformative process allows individuals to delve deep into their spiritual core, guided by a seasoned spiritual director or mentor. Whether you're exploring the realms of mindfulness, seeking solace through meditation, or are on the path of self-discovery with practices like yoga, the guidance of a spiritual director can offer invaluable insights and direction. The ultimate aim? To align with one's true self, foster a profound connection with the universe, and lead a life of meaning and purpose.

    Harnessing the Power of Spiritual Direction in Modern Times

    In a world dominated by search engines and keywords, the quest for authentic spiritual content can be overwhelming. However, when you infuse your search with terms like "spiritual direction," "inner peace techniques," "guidance for soulful living," or "deepening spiritual practice," you unlock a treasure trove of wisdom waiting to be explored. For the spiritually inclined, the benefits of such a journey are manifold: improved mental well-being, a deeper sense of belonging, clarity of purpose, and an elevated consciousness. By harnessing the power of spiritual direction, one is not only enriched personally but also contributes to raising the collective consciousness, making the world a more harmonious place. It's about tapping into that age-old wisdom while leveraging the tools of modern times, including Artificial Intelligence if used with integrity.

    Justin McRoberts

    Justin McRoberts
    Like many people, the Covid-19 pandemic became a sort of apocalyptic reckoning for me. When the world shut down I was forced to examine the way I held my work - although if I’m honest I already knew on a deep level I was teetering on burnout even before everything stopped. As all our norms and rhythms of “doing church” were put on hold, I realized I needed consistent guidance from a caring presence, which led me to Justin McRoberts. It has been a relationship that has greatly benefited me three years on. One of the first pieces of wisdom I received from my time with Justin was understanding and blessing my limitations. Historically I had wandered into a common trap for spiritual leaders - I made myself available 24/7 in case there was a crisis any given day or hour, and I subconsciously put myself at the center of every possible solution to the problems we had in our community. I was afraid of disappointing my people, not doing a good job with the responsibility I had been given. Creating boundaries and saying “no” seemed anathema to the grandeur and challenge of the vocation, especially when sized up with scriptures that said we must “always be ready” or we must “be all things to all people”. From an authentic desire to be the best pastor I could be, I was stretching myself thin while also teaching my people a lesson I never intended - we must deny our boundaries in Jesus’ name. Justin helped me to see, not only was naming and embracing my limitations as a human being a blessing for me, it was also one of the greatest lessons I could pass along to my community.

    There are gifts and pains to be found in every room of the Christian household. Spiritual migration is becoming the norm, at least for the younger generations. I believe this is, at least in part, a deep desire to find authentic ways of exploring and expressing faith. My guest today is a spiritual direction client and friend of mine who has meandered through many expressions of Christianity in his life, both as a follower of Jesus and a vocational ministry leader. Nathan Carlton currently lives in Greenville, South Carolina. In our conversation, we parse through his story, learning what he has cherished and what he has let go of in order to remain a person of faith. We discuss how Calling does not equate to ministerial vocation, but it does inform whatever we put our hands to.

    Acceptance, Prayer Squares, & a new P.O. Box

    Acceptance, Prayer Squares, & a new P.O. Box

    Sometimes what we don't say is the deepest prologue to our episode, and this week is one of those episodes. We have struggled, over the course of our lives, to come to accept ourselves. Perfectionists? Yes. Emotionally in-touch, to the level of bearing the burns of vivid experiences? Yes. But we both had to realize that acceptance can be active; that's where the whole thing began.

    Karrie shares a prayer square as a touchpoint for mental clarity and spiritual direction in the day-to-day (Andrew uses Post-It notes), and Andrew shares a poem about anxiety being calmed slowly through the course of a day at home.

    Seminar | “Hearing God: Wisdom from Dallas Willard” | Scott Buresh & Carla Mueller

    Seminar | “Hearing God: Wisdom from Dallas Willard” | Scott Buresh & Carla Mueller

    This week, we are sharing a Soundings Seminar conversation offered in March of 2022 between Bill Haley, Scott Buresh (Coracle’s Community Minister to Baltimore) and Coracle Associate, Carla Mueller. Together, they unpack and reflect upon Dallas Willard's spiritual classic, Hearing God. They explore the barriers we all face as we seek to cultivate the skill of hearing God's particular voice to us, and reveal how Willard's book isn't ultimately teaching us a technique but inviting us into an authentic relationship with our loving Creator. We hope you will be blessed by their rich conversation!

    This was offered as part of a year-long series, "Discernment: Hearing God in a Noisy World"
