Intuitive Guidance

You may have felt disconnected from yourself for awhile now
or perhaps there is an area of your life that is weighing heavily on your heart.
Maybe you’ve been looking for answers to no avail
and you don’t know where else to turn.

Intuitive Guidance with EverAfter blends practical mysticism with psycho-spiritual inspiration to help you uncover the way forward.

I believe that mysticism is a revolutionary way to approach God, or the One Living Whole. I have dedicated my entire life to this reverent rebellion as I have sought to accept and allow an evolving, relational, and purposeful universe to make itself known.  In this pursuit, I have spent over twenty years actively practicing divination and routinely walking the border between the seen and unseen.

“Mysticism is the art of union with Reality”—Evelyn Underhill

Alignment with the Universal Forces is our birthright. A mystic is a person who has attained that union in greater or less degree; or who aims at and believes in such an attainment. It is my deeply held belief that some form of union with Eternal Home is the very thing for which we all hunger. It is this hunger for what we lack that causes our suffering, and it is within this hunger that we may discover that we are all mystics.

Contemporary Mysticism is born from the vast lineage of spiritual teachings that promise to transform the lives of people who seriously and sincerely apply its wisdom to their own life circumstances. When you work with me, you can open yourself to your own mystical awareness and ground yourself, and hold within yourself the “big picture of life”. Mystics recognize that Consciousness always maintains the larger perspective. This is an ethereal knowing that is a deeply felt, non-rational (but not irrational!) awareness.

Love sees farther

Here at EverAfter, I am on a mission to bring mysticism, and the tools used in its expression, out of the shadows, helping to restore them to their rightful place as instruments of profound wisdom and transformation. Through their reputability, responsibility, accessibility and applied scholarship, you will begin to recognize that Tarot, Astrology, and Gifts of the Spirit are powerful methods of insight and transmutation. These mystical gateways midwife you into their ever-evolving and continuously expanding sense of spiritual development.

I support true transformation by helping you first come hear the Spirit of Truth, of Life, of Power. I provide the space to blend the Universal Forces with your own desire to find your Power of Hope Within. My intuitive work is an alchemical blend of walking the line between the visible and invisible and my formal training as a Spiritual Director and Spiritual Life Coach, creating for you a recognition of the Wonder of Wonders and the acknowledgment of your own Deep Yearning.

Open yourself to awe and wonder


Mysticism is in the mundane just as it is in the possibility. We are participants in this interconnected web of existence whether we realize it or not. Mysticism invites us to look at Mysterious Presence, our own souls, and our understanding of such things through the lens of our reason and our faith. When you choose the mystical gateways of Everafter, you open to an Mystical Awareness that embodies both wisdom and wonder as an all encompassing revery that summons us to fall in love and stay in love with All That Is.

EverAfter’s intuitive guidance helps to open your heart and expand your mind to something that cannot be captured in ideology, dogma, or theology, or philosophy. Readings are rooted in personal experience and explored through tested assumptions, experimentation, and following the evidence wherever it may lead. Intuitive Guidance with Everafter is a way for you to have direct access to the Holy.

Yet do not check your mind at the door!
EverAfter’s Mystical Gateways encourage profound doubt and insistent questioning.
Test your assumptions.
I know from experience that this process is what makes your search your own.

EverAfter’s Intuitive readings are a rich and deeply symbolic medium used to glean an understanding of personal issues, events, or influences present in one’s life. At EverAfter, my integrative approach to a mystical awareness is rooted in Jungian thought and always maintain an objective of personal growth. My twenty years of divination experience coupled with a fully equipped holistic toolbox invite you to claim your space within the Living Waters. I offer gentle and loving guidance with an emphasis on personal and spiritual growth.

 

“Man’s task is to become conscious of the contents that press upward from the unconscious.” -Carl G. Jung.


If you are ready to discover deep meaning within your life, these mystical gateways are ready to assist you. Through my intuitive guidance you will come to find your own answers as these mystical gateways simultaneously expand and affirm your life experience. Enter into a state of With-ness through an earth bound essence that does not aim for the elevation of duality but empowers a lived understanding of Oneness.

“Trust.” – Beth

Through the use of story and symbol, I make abstract spiritual concepts more concrete, helping you live into your own personal awareness, so that you may come to realize for yourself your own best life possible.

Bethany Ward | A New EverAfter
So what do *you* believe? Oh gosh, that is such a So what do *you* believe?

Oh gosh, that is such an interesting question for me. 

And I get it all the time.

I tend to refer to myself as a mystic. I believe that we all have the opportunity for direct access to, and union with, the Divine – and that those opportunities appear before us again and again, day after ordinary day. 

For me, the Divine is too expansive for any one expression, though I do have a personal relationship with the Mystery, of which I call God. 

I simply wish to live my life with that God revealing itself to me in new ways day after day. Sometimes that revelation is through Christian prayer, sometimes that is a reverence for nature, sometimes that is Zen Meditation, or attendance at Quaker meeting. Sometimes that revelation is a call toward social activism, and yes, sometimes it is a stir of a pot and a twinkle of my nose. 

When pressed, I might respond that I am a Jungian-influenced modern-day contemplative. 

All these varied practices represent, to me, a naturally resonant and responsible response to the glory of All That Is.

Though I dedicated the first part of my adult life, my academic career, and my profession to Unitarian Universalism, I am compelled to say that I currently do not have a religious affiliation. 
I simply choose to contemplatively and organically live out my spirituality, allowing the Being in All to make itself known in its multidimensional and multifaceted expression.

“ANY GOD I EVER FOUND IN CHURCH, I BROUGHT IN MYSELF.”― ALICE WALKER

Since my background is in Religion and Spiritual Development, I am able to translate diverse religious expressions into a deeply personal mystical experience that fuels my own understanding of the Divine and allows me to live a uniquely principled life tailored to my experience of a knowable yet unknowable God. 

This experience helps you too. I have an intimate understanding of many spiritual cultures and have a vast knowledge of where those traditions diverge and intersect. 

This approach helps you connect to your own beliefs and values as you consciously create your next chapter.

So...what do *you* believe?

#spiritualcompanionship #thisibelieve #faithstatement
It is difficult to describe what I do — in part It is difficult to describe what I do — in part because it is difficult to describe the breadth and scope of spirituality itself.

I often cheekily say, “I am a spiritual person...but not like that. Whatever the word “spiritual” has just conjured up for you...I’m not that.” ☺️

I jest this way because of how we individually and collectively [mis]understand the nature of spirituality itself. As it is largely [mis]understood, “spirituality” is everything from a moniker of the ego, to magical powers, to a flight of fancy.

I’m not that. 

Nor is true, authentic spiritual expression.

So what is authentic spirituality?

Academically speaking, the definition for “spirituality” is an “individual’s personal experience with wonder, awe, mystery, and/or connection to the whole.“. 

Simple as that. 

These are universal human experiences.

And...these universal experiences are in no way separate from the material. 

We are hardwired to connect. It is in our connection to ourselves, others, and All That Is that we find our deepest meaning and our truest fulfillment.

Spirituality encompasses all of what it means to be human. And to access and live from our spiritual sense is to be more fully—and happily—human.

Our innate spirituality asks of us:

“How shall I live my life?”

And...

“What values do I hold that will allow me to consciously create this life?”

In our modern world, we need someplace to go-and someone with whom we feel safe-to explore these big questions for ourselves.

This is the purpose of A New EverAfter —and the work that I do. I offer opportunities for your own deep learning and formative experiences that connect you to the most important aspects of who you truly are.

How do you personally define “spirituality”?

You asked: From where did 'A New EverAfter' derive You asked: From where did 'A New EverAfter' derive its name?

Each of us holds hope for our own lives’ unfolding. Yet we often encounter trials that instead leave us feeling disappointed and disillusioned. So many of us have encountered trauma, tragedy, and utter bewilderment and found ourselves saying, “it wasn’t supposed to be like this”.

A New EverAfter believes that we might restore our sense of hope by engaging in discovery and wonder, all the while remaining willing to follow the path toward true wisdom.

A New EverAfter does not promise a future that is nothing but bright nor made entirely of “happily”. However, it does know that trust in the process offers a true and lasting peace that can only come with engaging your spiritual nature.

Your spiritual nature may come to be understood through the intentional exploration of your own sacred story.

My desire is to help you enrich, reframe, and celebrate that narrative. No matter how you choose to explore your story within the varied services of A New EverAfter, together we will examine a new type of EverAfter, one that exalts the process and not the destination.

This EverAfter is not about a perception of a happy ending but about redefining your present and rediscovering who you truly are; mindfully, holistically, and practically.

I grew up in a fundamentally religious household - I grew up in a fundamentally religious household - as in Evangelical Christian Fundamentalist.

My parents were good, kind, loving, and gentle. ...But the religion I was steeped in was uncompromising, short-sided, and bigoted. 

As a child - with the limited perspective of childhood itself - I simply thought that this was how the world was constructed. 

That is, until I reached the curious age of 12 ....and heard the first chords of my first Indigo Girls’ song.

Instantly, my world expanded.

Where once condemnation, there was love. Where once judgement, now acceptance. Where once self-rejection, now self-understanding.

Those who expand our perspectives are the ones that have the most impact on us. The Indigo Girls invited me into a wider, more connected, and more loving world.

And....

this is exactly what Spiritual Growth does for us. It pushes out the walls of our existing containers and compels us to stretch further into love and compassion. 

Changes of heart facilitate spiritual growth.

Who has changed your heart?

Who has shown you how to push against the walls of your own narrow container? 

Who in your life has demonstrated their intent on making this place better for all people?

The most important thing to me is spiritual growth The most important thing to me is spiritual growth because it gave me the true and lasting serenity I craved.

Learning how to engage intentional spiritual development has brought me out of my turbulent storms of overwhelm, disillusionment, and distrust.

In my darkest hours, bitterness and resentment had overpowered me. Yet, in choosing to get curious about my spiritual self, I found the tools that I needed for emotional repair. 

In time, I would recognize that my life’s circumstances could shape me into someone disconnected and cynical or I could be intentionally formed - through love - into the highest version of myself. 

Intentional spiritual growth has allowed me to reconstruct a solid foundation to finally come ashore to who I truly am.

In my years of serving Spiritual Seekers, I have u In my years of serving Spiritual Seekers, I have uncovered 5 foundations of spiritual living that foster deeper presence, lovingkindness, & continued growth. 

In the past weeks, I have been sharing each one individually and today we compile them into one comprehensive framework. 

While your spiritual life is unique to you, these foundations will be found in every person’s journey in some way.

1. Recognize the Promise: When we are in a state of disillusionment, we are disconnected from hope. Recognize that Presence is available to you and simply awaits your engagement.
2. Become the Calm Seer: In order to walk toward fulfillment, you must be willing to see things differently. Learn how to observe life in order to expand your perspective.
3. Know Your Spiritual Fuel: The Divine Spark ignites our souls in unique ways. Notice what aligns your heart and fuels your spiritual passion. Discover how to use your energies in expansive, not depleting, ways.
4. Understand True Worth: Not everything is meant for us. Learn the art of discernment by wisely evaluating the movement of your God-Source in your life. Come to know what is for you and what shall be offered up.
5. Move within the Knowable and Unknowable: Remain fluid in your spiritual growth. Rest in the ways that your God-Source has objectively demonstrated its love, protection, and guidance while remaining open to the wonder of discovery.

The 5th Foundation of Spiritual Living is learning The 5th Foundation of Spiritual Living is learning how to move within the Knowable and the Unknowable.

Spiritual Direction helps us to remain fluid in our spiritual growth. It encourages us to rest in the ways that our God-Source has objectively demonstrated its love, protection, and guidance while remaining open to the wonder of discovery.

Spiritual maturity rests in faith’s assurance as it simultaneously distances itself from blind acceptance. 

A Spiritual Seeker is comforted by the guarantee of Divine Presence just as they acknowledge that their knowing is without certainty.

We have been implored to “Live the Question now!” by Henri Nouwen. “Do not now seek answers which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything.”

I am returning to a conversation around the Five Foundations of Spiritual Living after of a bit of a self-imposed detour. ☺️

We left off the conversation with the third foundation of Spiritual Living: Know Your Spiritual Fuel. 

Today, we return to it by examining the 4th Foundation of Spiritual Living: Understand True Worth.

Not everything is meant for us. Intentional spiritual growth helps us to learn the art of discernment by wisely evaluating the movement of our God-Source in our lives. 

Through therapeutic listening, you may come to know what is truly for you and what should be offered up. 

How many times have you been caught in a loop of your own thoughts, trying to determine a “right” course of action? A lack of skilled discernment can leave you frustrated and exhausted.

Through the art and practice of Spiritual Direction, A New EverAfter helps you learn how to discern with wisdom and to seek mercy and grace in the process. 

Consider where you might now be in unease in your life. 

Ask:

🍄 What personal value do I hold that I can live into more fully right now?
🍄 Which action brings me into further intimacy with myself? my God? Others?
🍄 Does this decision promote reconciliation rather than division?
🍄 Am I moving with trust?

Contemplating these questions on your own will guide you further on the path to wisdom. Yet, as Henri Nouwen wrote, “the companionship of trusted friends allows us to see how God is at work”. 

Working with a Spiritual Director ensures that you have someone companioning you through your discernment process so that you might move with greater confidence and gentler ease.
