BERNARD BEITMAN, MD is the first psychiatrist since Carl Jung to systematize the study of coincidences. He developed the first valid scale to measure coincidence sensitivity, and has written several coincidence articles for Psychiatric Annals. The author or editor of 16 professional books, he is a visiting professor at the University of Virginia, attended Yale Medical School and completed a psychiatric residency at Stanford. 

Juliet Trail, PhD is the Managing Director of The Coincidence Project, assisting Founding Director Bernard Beitman, MD. She is also the Founder and Director of Courageous Compassion Connection (C3), an initiative offering contemplative practices to diverse peoples to cultivate resilience, wholeness, healing, and compassion for all beings. She has taught and presented across the US and in the UK, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Rwanda. She builds upon nearly two decades in leadership, organizational development, teaching and contemplative pedagogy in higher education at the University of Virginia (16 years) and New Mexico State University (3 years). Her doctoral research focused on identifying the emotional intelligence and personality characteristics of Network Enablers, defined as individuals with a strongly empowering and positive impact on others around them in their professional networks. 

Synchronicity began shaping the stories of my life at age 12 when the timing of my sister’s death opened my heart to coincidental meanings.  That experience drew me to explore life’s meanings that hide within coincidences connected to personal stories, movies, and fairy tales.  It can be hard, however, to recognize synchronicity or know how to discern and relate to its meaning.  As a therapist, storyteller, and filmmaker, I teach others to spot story patterns inside and outside that could be meaningful coincidences (synchronicity).   

Because synchronicity is subjective, what is meaningful for you may not be so for others, and this is part of what makes a community like TCP so valuable.  Our life stories are enriched by the unique views of people here and everywhere who share their own.  In chaotic times like these, meaningful stories have the power to show us gifts inside wounds, enable coherence with our past, and instill confidence for the future.

Synchronicity is the unseen hand that awakens my intuitive guidance. It connects me to people and opportunities in magical ways. I’ve been a lifelong student of these phenomena of magic made manifest, which has guided me through difficult thresholds since childhood. 

Synchronicity acts as a golden thread stitching together surprising opportunities and powerful initiations on the mechanics of reality. I love to assist people in their process of understanding synchronicity as a tool, as a feedback loop, and as a pathway to unlock our soul’s potential and purpose for being alive. I’ve been teaching and writing on the topic since 2003 and am grateful to be a part of The Coincidence Project, where I can cross-reference with other experts and expand our knowledge base on this magical phenomenon.

I am a Coincidence Ambassador to the following groups/networks/communities: Entrepreneurs, business owners, fringe dwellers (free thinkers), International digital nomads in the Mayan Riviera, and the Latin dance community.  

Coincidences offer us an alternative view into “reality” where thoughts, objects, events, and beings, so seemingly separate and autonomous, are actually much more connected and interdependent than they appear. Having developed one of the few experiments that sought to “seed” occurrences of coincidence in a controlled study for my Ph.D. dissertation, I seek to bring this interest in a systematic, prospective study of coincidence into more public view through my involvement with the Coincidence Ambassadors. In collaboration with the Ambassadors, my vision is to engage the public in “coincidence play” so that we can all gain deeper insight into this phenomenon that is so universal, yet whose nature remains elusive and mysterious. Such activities could involve engagement exercises, treasure hunts, incitements to creativity, and exploration of oracular systems (especially the I Ching) that, by definition, “play” at the intersection of mind and matter.

I like being part of The Coincidence Project. I find it "spiritually productive" and that it contributes to my growth and happiness, my understanding of life, and the interconnectedness of all things.  It makes me more aware of the coincidences and synchronicities in my life and their meaning. What may seem totally random, doesn't suddenly seem so random anymore. As an Executive and Teamwork Coach, and a long-time meditation practitioner and instructor, I consider myself a lightworker. I love connecting others to the coincidences in their own life, so they can see more fully see their own light, life, and brilliance.  Coincidences are delightful sparks that can light people up and shed light on their life, their meaning, and their purpose. Spreading coincidence awareness into the world and making people see their own synchronicities in life is a worthwhile project, and it's delightful and fun.

As a clinical psychologist, I’m interested in helping people transform mental health challenges into personal growth. I’m also interested in promoting optimistic and effective approaches in mental health care. For both ends, I believe we need to consider not only body and mind but also a soul dimension in life. I have found that experiencing and making sense of synchronicity can be a powerful way of tapping into a soul dimension, which can help people navigate through challenges toward a meaningful and rewarding life path. I think it’s unfortunate that mainstream mental health approaches largely ignore the transformative potential of such transpersonal or mystical experiences. I delight in meeting with other Coincidence Ambassadors who encourage the widespread sharing of synchronicity stories. I believe this will help to reduce the stigma around mystical experience and to differentiate the potentially meaningful transpersonal experience from psychosis or superstition, with which it is often confused.

Ambassador to: Positive Psychology psychologists, educators and coaches, Australian clinical and counseling psychologists (including Transpersonal Psychology Interest Group of APS), Geelong Advertiser, and readers of my monthly column.

Synchronicity has been a guiding force in my life, allowing me to appreciate that spirituality and the invisible reality are no less significant than material reality. Because I have been blessed with this understanding, I want to inspire others to know that their experiences with synchronicity, coincidence, and spiritual encounters are important, real, and valid. Having this knowingness gives people a greater sense of confidence, clarity, calm, and self-compassion which can help them to take active roles in self-healing, to be more connected to themselves, God, and the larger world. It's also an opportunity for individuals and communities to experience greater flourishing.  

This aligns with my personal mission, to be a source of love and light for my family, friends, and people all around the world. Since 2000, I have devoted myself to creating and leading Soaringwords, a non-profit organization devoted to inspiring people to take active roles in self-healing in order to experience greater physical, emotional, and mental well-being. 

I am a Coincidence Ambassador to:

Soaringwords social media followers; the Positive Psychology community and people interested in the latest scientific findings to enhance their physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing.

 As Shakespeare’s Hamlet said, “there are more things in heaven and earth Horatio than are dreamt of in your philosophy.” I believe that meaningful coincidences are part of that. Coincidences in all their forms have played a role in saving my life, finding my husband, the work I do, and the clients I have. They’ve enabled me to meet people and go to places that I would otherwise have missed and given me incredible life experiences.  

I’m an ambassador because I believe that intentionally inviting coincidence into our lives is a skill that everyone can develop. More than that, I’m passionate about shaping the models and methods that do that. I want to support, build, and enable our community because I truly believe that coincidences deeply enrich our lives and the overall human experience. 

I am a Coincidence Ambassador to my friends, family, coachees, intuitive group, and Twitter, and LinkedIn followers. My future readers of the forthcoming, Intuition At Work, as well. 

I experience many synchronicities; they are an important part of my life. Every time remarkable coincidences happen, I feel grateful and happy. For me it is a comforting, confirming sign that everything is connected and that ‘ there is so much more’: it represents another mysterious dimension that cares about helping us to realize our wishes and reach our true life destination. It teaches us that everything matters and that we cannot always immediately determine the importance of something that occurs. I often expect the unexpected to happen, something that can connect the past and future. Sometimes it is a clear compass, showing that I am on the ‘right path,’ and at other times I cannot fully determine the meaning behind a coincidental event, other than making me wonder. It enriches my life, as I feel guided and looked after, and part of a bigger story that matters. I love being an ambassador for The Coincidence Project, learning, sharing, spreading insights, growing in our knowledge, and helping to make people more open and aware of the wonderful coincidences that can support them.
