Welcome to Season 4 of Woven Wings Live! In this trailer, hosts Gabe Crane and Rahul Deedwania introduce the season's thought-provoking theme: exploring the role of religion and spirituality in modern life. Against the backdrop of a "spiritual crisis" marked by isolation, loneliness, and a waning connection to traditional institutions, the season seeks to uncover how people today find meaning and connection.

- How does spiritual inquiry often occurs in secular or "spiritual-but-not-religious" contexts?
- Where do modern spiritual practices, from mindfulness to influencer-led movements fit in? Can they address deeper existential needs, or is a more profound transformation is required?
- What's the balance between individual and collective approaches to meaning-making?
- What role do ancient wisdom traditions play?
- How do we make sense of all of this?

This season promises dynamic conversations with diverse guests across the religious and spiritual spectrum who will shed light on the intersection of personal growth, community, and shared values in a rapidly changing world. The journey begins with Rabbi Adina Allen, author of The Place of All Possibility.

Join Gabe and Rahul as they delve into how ancient traditions, modern psychology, and contemporary challenges converge in the search for vibrant, connected living in 2025!

About Joseph Ari'el Towne:

Joseph Ariel Towne was raised in a conscious communal style from a young age, where he was introduced to ancient concepts that the modern age wasn’t fully ready for. As a result, he often felt like an outsider and sought to hide many of his intuitive gifts from the world.

His adventures led him to explore tai chi, yoga, meditation, sound healing, martial arts, traditional talk therapy, and plant-based diets before the age of ten. He did his first Firewalk with Tony Robbins at nine years old.

As a teenager, Joe struggled heavily with confidence, so he went on a three-week Outward Bound journey through the lakes, rivers and forests of Maine, attended support groups like Alateen (Alanon for teenagers) and took his mother on a Pilgrimage in India before she passed away (along the way becoming a dart champion.)

As is true for all of us, he had to go on his own journey to heal himself before he could offer support to others.

Upon relocating to Los Angeles, Joe worked intensively with energy healers, a Feng Shui Master, A Tibetan Mantra teacher, a Zen Priest and spent a majority of time in the Yoga communities in New York, Colorado and Los Angeles.

At this time, he started offering his feng shui and coaching services to the world, while acting on stage, and both on Film and TV.

This led him on a twenty-five year journey to this moment where he integrated all parts of himself and his healing modalities into Spacial Synergy.

Along the way, Joe wrote the book about how to take ancient feng shui principles and apply them to our Inner House, he has guested on Ryan Seacrest, Good Day LA, Million Dollar Listing and Dr Oz. He has also hosted several shows both on Radio (Sirius 114), The SyFy Network and online.

His passion for Sports Psychology, High Performance Training and Positive Psychology led him to launch The Performers Mindset—which developed training programs for life’s biggest moments and stages.

He is also the host of The Better Podcast with Joe Towne, exploring how we can be better in the world, our relationships and our lives.

Spacial Synergy is Joe’s way of taking ancient principles, and modern science and turning them into accessible and easy to implement tools and frameworks for our own healing work.

Joe incorporates consciousness coaching, feng shui, reiki, mantra
