The Labyrinth
An intentional space to navigate life's paradox in the same way that an arrow is shot from the bow where our aim is true but the destination is not known. You are invited into this community as an intrepid explorer of purpose, meaning, and service regarding the open terrain of spirituality, psychology, motherhood, relationships, The Arts, human potential, awareness, education, science and technology as a springboard to societal innovation and evolution. In a cross-collaboration with both Henry Crettela's Alchemical Dialogues podcast, and Joel Lesses' Unraveling Religion podcast, The Labyrinth seeks to further and promote conversations evolving our understanding of the vital topics of spirituality, the humanities, psychology, and The Arts, and we find deepening community in our mutual support. We have begun posting 'Selected, Best of Alchemical Dialogues' and 'Selected, Best of Unraveling Religion' episodes on Lisa Carley's 'The Labyrinth.'

In today’s The Labyrinth podcast, retired psychiatrist Henry Cretella joins us to share both his philosophy and personal experience with surrender.
