Michael Shoeman will be joining us, in-person, for his talk: The Spiritual Adventures of Micah and Elouise (A Father’s Day Tale).

In this heartfelt and playful talk, Michael Shoeman shares real-life spiritual conversations with his children, Micah (9) and Elouise (4). Through simple, honest moments, he explores how curiosity, imagination, and love shape the way we understand the world.

From tracking numerology during five days of labor leading up to Micah’s birth on Father’s Day weekend, to following the minute-by-minute astrology of a lunar eclipse when Elouise was born, Michael reflects on the meaningful patterns he noticed as his children entered the world.

Blending storytelling with reflection, Michael will read selected entries from his #DaddyJournal, including:

“Everything Is Magic”

“Who Is Coming To Save Us?”

“The Warrior”

“Never Stop Asking ‘Why?’”

“Elouise Learns About Ancestral Mathematics”

Together, these stories invite listeners into a space where parenting becomes a spiritual practice, and where the questions children ask open the door to deeper understanding, wonder, and connection.

This Father’s Day tale is not just about raising children—it’s about learning from them, and rediscovering the magic in everyday life.
