The Western Esoteric Tradition with Carolyn Lovewell
For those of us who circle and practice surrendered leadership, we've all tasted the magic in what we do. I think that means we could learn a lot (and grow a lot) from seeing how people in the world of magic organize themselves and create heightened states of presence and oneness (a cosmic version of connection).To give us that perspective, Carolyn Lovewell comes back on the podcast. She helps us understand the importance of mystery schools and their place in the Western esoteric tradition.To learn more about her work, go to her website.To check out the Immortal College, go to their website here.Grow With Us 🦁 Get relational coaching with Sigh (https://www.thecontainerpod.com/radiantrelating) 🙏 Deepen your spiritual practice and attainment with Jonathan (https://www.thecontainerpod.com/coaching) Support Our Work📈 Like, subscribe, rate, and review🙌 Become a patron on Patreon💌 Subscribe for free to our newsletter Connect and Learn More About the Relational Arts🖥️ Our website (www.thecontainerpod.com) 📺 Our YouTube (www.youtube.com/@TheContainerPod) 👥 Our Facebook group Keep it namaste 🙏

Existential Kink: The Best Form of Shadow Work with Carolyn Lovewell
We're back on the third rung of the Container spiral!We discuss Existential K/nk with Carolyn Lovewell (formerly Carolyn Eliot). She guides us through her discovery and creation of the single best shadow work system available today.To learn more about her work, go to her website.It's Episode 42. As you may know, 42 is a powerful number in the Kabbalah. In this system, the 42-letter name of God is used to connect to the days of creation, the Sephirah with their corresponding planets, and more. Mystics can enter multi-level states of consciousness by repeating this name like a mantra.And so, it is the perfect episode to launch our new series in "The Beyond." We'll be using the Relational Arts to go into the furthest reaches of consciousness, past our everyday life and into the occluded spheres of being that call to us in dream, as darkness falls and sky country twinkles with ten thousand points of angelic light.It all starts here with Carolyn Lovewell, our High Priestess welcoming us past the veil into the mysteries of The Beyond.Make sure to reach out and connect at our Facebook group. There, we are discovering the ways that circling can help us spiritually awaken.Grow With Us 🦁 Get relational coaching with Sigh (https://www.thecontainerpod.com/radiantrelating) 🙏 Deepen your spiritual practice and attainment with Jonathan (https://www.thecontainerpod.com/coaching) Support Our Work📈 Like, subscribe, rate, and review🙌 Become a patron on Patreon💌 Subscribe for free to our newsletter Connect and Learn More About the Relational Arts🖥️ Our website (www.thecontainerpod.com) 📺 Our YouTube (www.youtube.com/@TheContainerPod) 👥 Our Facebook group Keep it namaste 🙏
