I sent the following announcement out recently in Daily Spiritual Seed, so perhaps you've already seen it:

1. After over 28 years of ministry at Heartland Center for Spirituality, I will be retiring effective December 31, 2025. It has been a blessing to have served there all these years with an amazing group of people.

2. After December 31, I will continue to publish A Daily Spiritual Seed, meet with spiritual directees, and maintain the shalomplace.com website and its various ministries, including the monthly Forum webinars, discussion board, and occasional Zoom classes. I hope you will stay connected and will be part of this continuing outreach.

Peace, Phil

Hi Phil,
I have been thinking of you and our many years together as my spiritual director. I hope you are well and that retirement will be a new venture in living for you. I am taking guitar lessons and my teacher is very interested in spiritual matters and has been mentioning kundalini. Of course, I thought of you and how you were able to help me with this unplanned development in my life. Thank you for all your help in my life and hopefully we can reconnect at least to stay in touch. P.S. I loved your interview with truthseeka! Love and prayers, Karen

So good to hear from you, Karen!
It sounds like you are doing well, and I'm glad to hear that. Yes, fun interview with truthseekah and a few others during the past couple of years. Kundalini seems to be of more interest than ever and apparently I'm known as a Christian person who can speak about this topic.

Feel free to keep in touch.

Congratulations on your retirement, Phil. There certainly is a lot of demand for people who are knowledgeable about kundalini. Our old friend Tara reports that she has a huge waiting list of people who want counseling.
