Embracing Mystery
Embracing Mystery
Podcast Description
Finding ourselves in compassionate, creative interconnection. Monthly conversations discovering the intersections of creativity and spirituality.
Join Kevin Caldwell, Nazia Islam, Raymond Singh, and Steven Spicer as they explore together ways that we can embrace creative and spiritual mystery in our lives and simultaneously find ourselves embraced in the mystery of compassionate, creative, interconnection, held by what may be called the Divine, or Source, or Consciousness, or even Mystery itself. In the process, we seek to become more fully ourselves, find our home and places of belonging, and grow as creative, spiritual, and relational beings.
Kevin Caldwell is a singer-songwriter, poet, author, holding a PhD in Intercultural Studies.
Nazia "Naz" Islam is an academic librarian, artist, and poet, with graduate degrees in Religious Studies and Library & Information Science.
Raymond C. Singh is an amateur philosopher, musician, and poet, holding an MA in Philosophy.

The Embracing Mystery Podcast is an offering of the Table Collective, a creative interspiritual community of artists and contemplatives who seek to integrate their creative and spiritual selves (www.tablecollective.art).
