  • Following the Signs: Resilience, Change, and a Happy Healer
    Apr 2 2026

    Host Shawn McGuire Meeks welcomes Timorie Edwards to Conjuring the Human Spirit for a two-part conversation about intuition, transformation, and listening.

    Timorie, originally from Midland, Texas, shares her path from Dallas bartending and restaurant openings to becoming a stay-at-home mom, then navigating divorce and relocating to Fernandina Beach, Florida after “following the whispers.” She describes repeatedly encountering signs—coins symbolizing change, ants representing community and daily effort, and a bathroom-stall notice that led her to start a 900-hour massage program—culminating in her healing practice, The Happy Healer.

    Timorie recounts how being corrected for talking over others became an “assignment” to listen, leading her (through Shawn’s father Jack) to the Magic of Listening workshop, where confronting swarming gnats echoed a childhood trauma of being attacked by bees and reinforced resilience, pausing, and heart-centered listening.

  • From Reaction to Creation: Renovating Life with Purpose
    Mar 26 2026

    Host Shawn McGuire Meeks introduces Conjuring the Human Spirit from The Farm and Retreat Center and reflects on “waking up” to life through renovation and alignment. After experiencing night sweats, chills, and severe chest pain, Shawn went to the ER where a chest X-ray revealed a lung “mass,” raising fears of cancer and possible tuberculosis; after five days in isolation and testing, he was diagnosed with a lung abscess treated successfully with IV and months-long antibiotics.

    The health crisis exposed how being reactive and overworking while renovating the farm harmed his mind, body, and spirit, prompting him to ask how to live more proactively. Shawn renovated the barn into an upscale gathering space and invites listeners to seasonal workshops aligned with the spring equinox, summer solstice, fall equinox, and winter solstice in 2026 to set intentions, reflect, and grow through “the magic of listening,” urging people to choose proactive change before dramatic life events force it.

  • Something BIG Is Happening: AI, Deepfakes, and the Future of the Human Spirit
    Mar 19 2026

    Host Shawn McGuire Meeks frames this episode of Conjuring the Human Spirit around the rapid acceleration of artificial intelligence and a “new world order” being shaped by wealthy tech leaders, drawing on the Moonshots podcast (Peter Diamandis, David Blundin, Alim Ishmael, and Dr. Alexander Wisner-Gross) and citing concerns including mass surveillance, autonomous weapons, and the erosion of privacy, democracy, and human rights.

    He highlights claims that knowledge-based jobs may be eliminated within 12–24 months, that recursive self-improvement could accelerate AI beyond human input, and that deepfake video and voice tools make evidence and trust unstable. Practical advice includes using a family secret code word to verify emergencies.

    Shawn argues the response is strengthening the “spirit of we” through connection, community, and meaningful relationships, then leads a guided nature-based meditation to help listeners reconnect with their human spirit. He invites listeners to one-on-one work and the “Magic of Listening” farm workshop (March 20–22) with limited spots.
