<p><strong>Our guiding question: </strong>What is my unique light to share with the world?</p><p>In this episode, we explore what it means to let your light be seen—and what keeps it hidden. Marci shows up in “trickster” mode, and we lean into Joseph Campbell’s invitation: “The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.”</p><p>Together we reflect on a <strong>midrash</strong>—a storytelling tradition that opens sacred text from the inside—through a retelling of <strong>Joseph and his brothers</strong>. Laura shares highlights from the Natural Spirituality Conference and threads in her work with the fairy tale The Girl Without Hands. We also share a few recent listener comments—thank you for taking the time to write and keep this community alive.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>In this episode:</strong></p><p>● Your unique light and the fears that block it</p><p>● Trickster energy as spiritual medicine</p><p>● Midrash: Joseph and his brothers</p><p>● Natural Spirituality + “The Girl Without Hands”</p><p>● Listener reflections + sharing the mic</p><p>● The Sunday readings</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Join the community:</strong> Facebook group: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/laughingmystics/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.facebook.com/laughingmystics/</a></p><p><strong>Share the mic: </strong>Send a voice memo (question/comment) to [email protected]</p><p><strong>Rate/review easily:</strong> <a href="RateThisPodcast.com/thelaughingmystics" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">RateThisPodcast.com/thelaughingmystics</a></p><p><strong>Follow + listen:</strong> <a href="pod.link/1799776273" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">pod.link/1799776273</a></p><p>New episodes drop <strong>Thursday mornings.</strong></p><p><br></p><p>More from <strong>Marci Madary</strong>: <a href="https://www.insideoutspirituality.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.insideoutspirituality.com/</a></p><p>More from <strong>Laura Lewis-Barr</strong>: <a href="https://psychescinema.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://psychescinema.com/</a></p><p>Merch: <a href="https://www.zazzle.com/store/laughing_mystics/products" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.zazzle.com/store/laughing_mystics/products</a></p><p>(If your platform hides links, visit the episode webpage or Spotify.)</p><p>Music licensed from Artlist.</p><p>#JungianPsychology #DepthPsychology #MysticalChristianity #ProgressiveChristianity #TranspersonalPsychology #Midrash #SpiritualDirection #RichardRohr #Archetypes #Vocation</p>
