Author: William Cooper, Master of Theology, Licensed Professional Counselor June 14, 2026 Duration: 55:08

In a world that often equates busyness with purpose, Awakening Together, Relaxing into Happiness with William Cooper, Master of Theology, Licensed Professional Counselor offers a different path. This podcast is a gentle, guided conversation about integrating profound spiritual awakening into the practical fabric of daily life. Your host, William Cooper, brings a rare blend of deep theological education and decades of clinical psychotherapy practice to these discussions. He doesn't just speak from theory; his understanding has been shaped by extensive, immersive journeys, including fourteen trips to India to learn directly from gurus and awakened beings, alongside travels through Bhutan, Nepal, Thailand, and Brazil. Each episode feels like a thoughtful dialogue, where William's background as a Unity board president and Oneness trainer informs a perspective that is both inclusive and deeply practical. You'll hear explorations that sit at the intersection of mental wellness and spiritual discovery, addressing how relaxation into your true being is not an escape, but the very foundation of authentic happiness. This is for anyone curious about moving beyond spiritual concepts into a lived experience, supported by both psychological insight and timeless wisdom. Tune in for a podcast that values depth over dogma and presence over pressure.
