Sacred Architecture is a re-discovery of our collective heritage, showing us how to understand the symbols of change provided by the buildings and monuments of our ancestors. The language of the sacred can be seen in buildings as diverse as the Parthenon, Hopi initiation lodges, Stonehenge, Temple at Luxor, the cathedrals and the Palladian memory theatre, in which astronomical, mythical geometric and structural patterns have been incorporated. From the early astrological and mythical influences which determined the location, form and function of early monuments.From the Archives: This live interview was recorded on  April 15, 1995  on the nationally syndicated radio program, hosted by Laura Lee .

Let's look at the Myths of the Ancients. When you read the thousands of mythologies, as our guest has done over thirty years, we ask him what patterns emerge buried in the stories of the ancient left us? Are there accounts of actual happenings What did they describe about the world and why did they all reminisce about a golden age? What was that all about? Our guest Dave Talbott, has got an interesting perspective on all of this - just what does ancient stories are your stories or actual histories?From the Archives: This live interview was recorded on July 26, 2001 on the nationally syndicated radio program, hosted by Laura Lee .

The existence of a secret society known as the Illuminati remains one of the most enduring conspiracy theories of modern times, however it has it's very real foundation and history - the group itself was real.  The Order of the Illuminati was a secret group founded in Bavaria in 1776 by Adam Weishaupt, who believed “the monarchy and the church were repressing freedom of thought”, Weishaupt “decided to find another form of ‘illumination', a set of ideas and practices that could be applied to radically change the way European states were run. He based his society on the Freemasons, with a hierarchy and mysterious rituals, and named it the Order of Illuminati to reflect the enlightened ideals of its educated members.Dr. Obadiah Harris (1930 - 2019) had spent decades devoting himself to the wisdom traditions of the world.  His career spanned decades and included serving as a minister, a counselor, teacher, professor at New Mexico State University and Arizona State University, public speaker and author of several books. Beginning in 1991 he served as President of the Philosophical Research Society. He also was able to digitize the Manly Hall Library which makes it available to the world. During this process he was able to protect and repair several ancient texts. He retired in 2017 and was granted the title of President Emeritus by the Board of Directors of the Philosophical Research Society and UPR.

Nikola Tesla is the forgotten genius of electricity. He invented or laid the groundwork for many things we take for granted today. Everybody assumes that Thomas Edison devised electric light and domestic electricity supplies, that Guglielmo Marconi thought up radio and George Westinghouse built the world's first hydro-electric power station. not true.  The man who dreamt up these things also invented, inter-alia, the fluorescent light, seismology, a worldwide data communications network and a mechanical laxative. His name was Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-American scientist, and his is without doubt this century's greatest unsung scientific hero.Robert Lomas is a British writer, physicist and business studies academic. He writes primarily about the history of Freemasonry as well as the Neolithic period, ancient engineering, and archaeoastronomy.

Could the Egyptian Sphinx have been built many centuries earlier than conventional history would have us believe? Could the great natural disasters that propelled the evolution of life on Earth have played a dominant role as well in the rise and fall of civilizations? Could Earth have been home to civilizations far greater in number -- and far older -- than orthodox researchers have suspected?  From his geological analysis of the Sphinx,  Dr. Robert M. Schoch  draws a conclusion that he admits is controversial: that a technologically advanced civilization rose and faded in Egypt long before the time of the pyramids. Adding speculative science and drawing on myth, he asserts that other similarly advanced civilizations flourished around the world, only to be obliterated by global catastrophes brought on by a century-long rain of asteroid impacts. Similar cosmic storms strike once a millennium, he says, triggering or ending ice ages, causing floods, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions of biblical proportion, precipitating shifts in the earths axis.Robert Milton Schoch is an American associate professor of Natural Sciences at the College of General Studies, Boston University.From the Archives: This live interview was recorded on June 19 1999 on the nationally syndicated radio program, hosted by Laura Lee .

Dr. Donald Schnell  tells stories where he says  he had extraordinary encounters, where saints and deities appear and offer guidance, and sacred objects materialize from thin air. It is a spiritual adventure  story that includes encounters with an Indian rabbi, levitating gurus, disappearing taxi drivers, and psychedelic (without the use of chemicals) mystical experiences. It is also the story of one man's quest for answers to the "big" questions: Who am I? Where do I fit in the universe? How can my life have meaning? How can I touch the infinite?

When confronted with a problem, be it ill health, financial worries, or relationship difficulties, we often depend on intellect to solve it. In this radical book,  Wayne Dyer shares with us that there is an omnipotent spiritual force at our fingertips that contains the solution to our problems.   He walks us through a path of seeing and knowing that problems are only illusions created in our minds and that any possible problem that a person can encounter will literally evaporate by following simple life learning principles.Dr. Wayne W. Dyer was the bestselling author of 20 books and had a doctorate in counseling psychology. He lectured across the country to groups numbering in the thousands and appeared regularly on radio and television. He passed away in August of 2015.From the Archives: This live interview was recorded on November 16 2001 on the nationally syndicated radio program, hosted by Laura Lee .

Understanding Insect Infrared Detection.   Plants and insects communicate through emissions in the infrared frequency range. Why certain insects are attracted only to certain plants, the role of pheromones work in nature, and how plants under stress literally signal insects to come devour them. Deep research into how insects are communicating on the infrared band of frequencies, how they can "read" the plants from a "birds perspective", choosing those plants to feed on, which are weak because those plants have a weaker infrared emission. New concept and knowledge on insect/plant relationships, and points to a whole new way of understanding .Philip S. Callahan, Ph. D., schooled as an entomologist, was stationed in Ireland as a radio technician during World War II. He has written two books dealing specifically with his discoveries there of the seemingly magical properties of the ancient Irish round towers and of certain rocks and rock powders. Dr. Callahan explains that a particle moving faster than the speed of light is called a tachyon, and a message sent by such a particle would actually arrive before it was sent. He also states that he published, in 1986, the first experimental proof that tachyon particles actually exist. (One of the world's great unsolved mysteries is why Dr. Callahan has never been honored with the Nobel Prize in physics for such an amazing and historic achievement.)From the Archives: This live interview was recorded on  April 14,  1994 on the nationally syndicated radio program, hosted by Laura Lee (The Laura Lee Show) .

Reinoud de Jonge (a Dutch chemist) and Jay Wakefield (an American biologist) have specialized in the study of megalithic culture. They present their controversial analysis of a dozen archaeo­logical sites, proposing that many petroglyphs are geographic maps. They show how monuments provide numerical data revealing megalithic religion and ancient sailing discoveries in the Atlantic. Examples presented by the guests ,  numeric picture writing at Loughcrew, Ireland, which they suggest reveals that these people gave up their efforts to cross the Ocean west of Green­land in 3200 BC. However, decip­herment of the petro­glyphs at Dissignac, France, shows that they next explored the earth to the east, where they discove­red Australia and Alaska. Subsequently, they found routes across the Atlantic, and built Stonehenge, the monument for the discovery of America. They concluded that these decipherments shed light on a number of mysteries in American prehistory, such as the origin of the Olmec civilization, the Michigan copper mines, and the stone chambers of New England.From the Archives: This live interview was recorded on  August 2,  2002 on the nationally syndicated radio program, hosted by Laura Lee (The Laura Lee Show) .

A conversation on the  geometry which, as modern science now confirms, underlies the structure of the universe. The thinkers of ancient Egypt, Greece and India recognized that numbers governed much of what they saw in their world and hence provided an approach to its divine creator. Robert Lawlor sets out the system that determines the dimension and the form of both man-made and natural structures, from Gothic cathedrals to flowers, from music to the human body. He takes us from simple principles to a grasp of the logarithmic spiral, the Golden Proportion, the squaring of the circle and other ubiquitous ratios and proportions.Robert Lawlor (1938-2022) was a mythographer, symbologist and author of several books.  After training as a painter and a sculptor, he became a yoga student of Sri Aurobindo and lived for many years in Puducherry, where he was a founding member of Auroville. In India, he discovered the works of the French Egyptologist and esotericist, R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz, which led him to explore the principles and practices of ancient sacred science.From the Archives: This live interview was recorded on  November 20, 1999 on the nationally syndicated radio program, hosted by Laura Lee (The Laura Lee Show) .

Alexandra Morton has been called "the Jane Goodall of Canada" because of her passionate thirty-year fight to save British Columbia's wild salmon. Her account of that fight is both inspiring in its own right and a roadmap of resistance.Alexandra Morton came north from California in the early 1980s, following her first love--the northern resident orca. In remote Echo Bay, in the Broughton Archipelago, she found the perfect place to settle into all she had ever dreamed of: a lifetime of observing and learning what these big-brained mammals are saying to each other. She was lucky enough to get there just in time to witness a place of true natural abundance, and learned how to thrive in the wilderness as a scientist and a single mother.Then, in 1989, industrial aquaculture moved into the region, chasing the whales away. Her fisherman neighbours asked her if she would write letters on their behalf to government explaining the damage the farms were doing to the fisheries, and one thing led to another. Soon Alex had shifted her scientific focus to documenting the infectious diseases and parasites that pour from the ocean farm pens of Atlantic salmon into the migration routes of wild Pacific salmon, and then to proving their disastrous impact on wild salmon and the entire ecosystem of the coast.Alex stood against the farms, first representing her community, then alone, and at last as part of an uprising that built around her as ancient Indigenous governance resisted a province and a country that wouldn't obey their own court rulings. She has used her science, many acts of protest and the legal system in her unrelenting efforts to save wild salmon and ultimately the whales — a story that reveals her own doggedness and bravery but also shines a bright light on the ways other humans doggedly resist the truth. Here, she brilliantly calls those humans to account for the sake of us all.From the Archives: This live interview was recorded on  May 21, 2002 on the nationally syndicated radio program, hosted by Laura Lee (The Laura Lee Show) .

Transcendence can come in many forms. For Mary Rose O'Reilley a year tending sheep seemed a way to seek a spirituality based not on “climbing out of the body” but rather on existing fully in the world, at least if she could overlook some of its earthier aspects.  "Deciding that her life was insufficiently grounded in real-world experience, Mary Rose O'Reilley, a Quaker reared as a Catholic, embarked on a year of tending sheep. In this decidedly down-to-earth, often-hilarious book, O'Reilley describes her work in an agricultural barn and her extended visit to a Buddhist monastery in France, where she studied with Thich Nhat Hanh. She seeks, in both barn and monastery, a spirituality based not in “climbing out of the body” but rather in existing fully in the world.”—Publishers Weekly  Mary Rose O'Reilley is an American poet, novelist and writer of non-fiction.From the Archives: This live interview was recorded on  October 29, 2001 on the nationally syndicated radio program, hosted by Laura Lee (The Laura Lee Show) .

Our thoughts and emotions follow our beliefs and create the attitudes, assumptions, expectations, and behaviors that determine how we react to life events and what we think is possible. These underlying belief systems drive our behavior.  Similarly, health beliefs influence health behaviors and health outcomes. Growing evidence shows us that negative and worrisome beliefs predispose your body to illness; positive and hopeful beliefs are healing and curative. Can our beliefs be self-fulfilling prophecies?Lolette Kuby brings together inter-disciplinary analysis, the data of common sense, historical data gathered from centuries of observation on the topic of self healing. . she explores the psychological, anthropological, political and historical dimensions of a question that is fundamental not only to the practice of medicine but to understanding the workings of the human mind and human consciousness.Lolette Kuby  taught in the English Department of the Cleveland State University. She held a Ph.D. from the Case Western Reserve University.

The quest culture has generated a "marketplace" of new spiritual beliefs and practices and of revisited traditions. As Roof shows, some Americans are exploring faiths and spiritual disciplines for the first time; others are rediscovering their lost traditions; others are drawn to small groups and alternative communities; and still others create their own mix of values and metaphysical beliefs.  Here we see an  emergence of five subcultures: dogmatists, born-again Christians, mainstream believers, metaphysical believers and seekers, and secularists. Drawing on surveys and in-depth interviews for over a decade, Roof reports on the religious and spiritual styles, family patterns, and moral vision and values for each of these subcultures. Wade Clark Roof  (1939 - 2019) was a PhD in the sociology and psychology of religion from the University of North Carolina. He was Professor and Chair of the Department of Religion at UCSB. His main areas of research interest are sociology of religion and American religious trends, and he has published widely in both fields, and was serving as editor in chief for Macmillan Reference's Contemporary American Religion (2000). He also taught a range of both undergraduate and graduate courses on religion and society.From the Archives: This live interview was recorded on  October 23, 1999 on the nationally syndicated radio program, hosted by Laura Lee (The Laura Lee Show) .

A riveting firsthand account of one man's mission to investigate and document some of the most astonishing phenomena of our time—children who speak of past life memory and reincarnation.For thirty-seven years, Dr. Ian Stevenson has traveled the world from Lebanon to suburban Virginia investigating and documenting more than two thousand of these past life memory cases. Now, his essentially unknown work is being brought to the mainstream by Tom Shroder, the first journalist to have the privilege of accompanying Dr. Stevenson in his fieldwork. Shroder follows Stevenson into the lives of children and families touched by this phenomenon, changing from skeptic to believer as he comes face-to-face with concrete evidence he cannot discount in this spellbinding and true story.In 1997 Dr. Stevenson agreed to let Tom Shroder, an editor at the Washington Post, travel with him through India, Lebanon and the United States as he investigated cases of children who seemed to remember previous lives. Shroder, with Dr. Stevenson's permission, wrote a book based on those experiences.From the Archives: This live interview was recorded on  September 18, 1999 on the nationally syndicated radio program, hosted by Laura Lee .

The strands of DNA that comprise our blueprint may be impacted by spiritual experiences says our guest Colm Kelleher, who is the molecular biologist radiologist. He says that spiritual experiences so much heightened our energy that it may cause changes in a very DNA and he will tell us about the many laboratory experiments and all the other clues that give weight to his theory.  The very experience of mystical moments may alter in us in profound ways and that this activation may have some consequences for the human race as a whole.  Not just what we think of a spiritual experience is you're also including the near death experience, shamanic initiation,  and the whole range of out of the ordinary type of experience.From the Archives: This live interview was recorded on  November 13, 1999 on the nationally syndicated radio program, hosted by Laura Lee .

Exploration of manhood and all its complicated meanings through the portrait of an American Mountain Man.  A revealing look at the nature of manhood, the appeal of utopian communities, the history of the frontier and the lingering myth of the frontiersman. The subject becomes much broader than one man's life. It's about what has been lost with progress, and what can be reclaimed.  Author Elizabeth Gilbert shares the story of Eustace Conway who, for two decades he has lived off the grid, making fire with sticks, wearing skins from animals he has trapped, and trying to convince Americans to give up their materialistic lifestyles and return with him back to nature.Elizabeth Gilbert is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Eat, Pray, Love, as well as the short story collection, Pilgrims—a finalist for the PEN/Hemingway Award, and winner of the 1999 John C.

When Bill Weber and Amy Vedder arrived in Rwanda to study mountain gorillas with Dian Fossey, the gorilla population was teetering toward extinction. Poaching was rampant, but it was loss of habitat that most endangered the gorillas. Weber and Vedder realized that the gorillas were doomed unless something was done to save their forest home. They helped found the Mountain Gorilla Project, which would inform Rwandans about the gorillas and the importance of conservation, while at the same time establishing an ecotourism project -- one of the first anywhere in a rainforest -- to bring desperately needed revenue to Rwanda. Today the population of mountain gorillas is the highest it has been since the 1960s, and there is new hope for the species' fragile future even as the people of Rwanda strive to overcome ethnic and political differences.Bill Weber has worked for 25 years in the field of international conservation. He lived in Africa for nine years, where he and his wife, Amy Vedder, helped to establish the famous Mountain Gorilla Project in Rwanda and several other park and forest protection initiatives across the Congo Basin.From the Archives: This live interview was recorded on  December 13,  2001 on the nationally syndicated radio program, hosted by Laura Lee .

For centuries, the world's religions have squabbled over their differences.  But if we choose to focus on the similarities between the religions, we find they outweigh the differences. In fact, there seems to be an underlying message that all the world's religions share.  Hopefully conversations like this will give you a new perspective on religion, and a renewed hope for world peace.From the Author: "I was inspired by Dr. Fritjof Capra's "The Tao of Physics," which showed me a possible connection between physics and spirituality. I decided to go back to school and take a course on comparative religion. As a class project, I decided to do a report on the similarities between the religions, as it seemed everyone else was talking about the differences. The teacher liked my report so much he suggested I keep my research and writing going. It turned into my book: "The Message That Comes From Everywhere: Exploring the Common Core of the World's Religions."From the Archives: This live interview was recorded on January 2,  2002 on the nationally syndicated radio program, hosted by Laura Lee .

Simple straight forward advice,how we can develop our natural intuitive ability.  Intuition can help solve problems, make decisions, accomplish goals, enhance prosperity and creativity, improve relationships, and more. Often referred to as “gut feelings,” intuition tends to arise holistically and quickly, without awareness of the underlying mental processing of information. Scientists have repeatedly demonstrated how information can register on the brain without conscious awareness and positively influence decision-making and other behavior.Rosemary Ellen Guiley (July 8, 1950 - July 18, 2019) was an American writer on topics related to spirituality  and the paranormal. She was also a certified hypnotist, a board director of the "National Museum of Mysteries and Research".  She had written more than 49 books, including ten encyclopedias.

Charles Gallenkamp shares the tremendous discoveries and unforgettable adventures of the Central Asiatic Expeditions of 1922-1930 and describes how a fossil-hunting team, led by Roy Chapman Andrews, braved raging sandstorms, murderous bandts, political intrigue, civil war, and conflicts between the United States and China as it searched for evidence of dinosaurs and other extinct creatures in the Gobi Desert.  What was found was huge caches of dinosaur bones at places such as Mongolia's Flaming Cliffs. These fossils helped demonstrate geological connections between Asia and North America, and they added dozens of new species to the paleontological record.

Red Elk says he comes from the healing of Inner Heyoka'...Physical and Spiritual (mental) - Wakiyan (Spiritual advisor via Inner Heyoka' Way Purity way). Red Elk pushes the boundaries of the sacred and he's not afraid of controversy, challenge people beliefs and make us laugh along the way.  He says he is from the “Heyoka Secret Society” and now is time, he is told, to share their secrets.A Heyoka is a very powerful empath that feels the emotions and energy of others inside their body. The Heyoka has the natural ability to help heal  -  often using humor. Sometimes Heyoka is termed the “Sacred Clown or Trickster”, and they are depicted as doing things in opposition to that of today's society. - which is a wonderful description of Red Elk ;)Red Elk (June 18, 1942 – June 26, 2015) Unfortunately Red Elk has passed away several years ago but has left us his view of prophecy, the challenges and warnings for our civilization and our impact on the planet.   He also encourages us all to embrace the path of the sacred - not just for the shamans and medicine mens.  " I do not represent any Indian nation.

An understanding of the newly described cell-control mechanisms will cause as profound a shift in biological belief as the quantum revolution caused in physics. The strength of the emerging new biological model is that it unifies the basic philosophies of conventional medicine, complementary medicine and spiritual healing. The results of the Genome project reveal that there are only about 34,000 genes in the human genome. Two thirds of the anticipated genes do not exist! How can we account for the complexity of a genetically-controlled human when there are not even enough genes to code just for the proteins?Bruce Lipton cell biologist and frequent and favorite guest on this program for more than a decade . Bruce and I were chatting and he mentioned that some of the new data coming in from the human genome project and all that research is confounding the standard scientist but could be interpreted to support Bruce's thesis that he's been sharing with us for the last couple of decades, and that is that those genes are very valuable that they actually respond with the environment, and with consciousness as well.Bruce Lipton is an American developmental biologist noted for his views on epigenetics. In his book The Biology of Belief, he shows how beliefs control human biology rather than DNA and inheritance.

By applying theories from quantum physics to human consciousness, Fred Alan Wolf brings the most modern perspective of quantum physics to the most ancient questions of religion and philosophy.  Following research into modern experiments in telepathy, REM, and lucid dreaming to his own research on human consciousness, he theorizes that dreaming is the basis for consciousness, and that it is through dreaming that we are able to manifest a sense of ourselves. "The universe is dreaming us - we are the the dream"Fred Alan Wolf is a world-renowned physicist, writer, and lecturer who also conducts research on the relationship of quantum physics to consciousness. He is the author of 13 books, 3 audio CD courses and received the National Book Award for "Taking the Quantum Leap". He is a member of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Collegium of Scholars and was Professor of physics at San Diego State University for twelve years. Dr. Wolf has appeared in many nationally released films including "What the Bleep Do We Know?" and "The Secret." His latest book is "Time-Loops and Space-Twists: How God Created the Universe."From the Archives: This live interview was recorded on  August 24, 1994 on the nationally syndicated radio program, hosted by Laura Lee .

The therapeutic power of sound is inherent in everyone. Through Breath, tone, and music we visit the world of overtoning and chanting, awakening vibratory awareness by exploring the energy beneath sound.  Over the years, Don Campbell had a quest to harness the healing and creative powers of sound and music.  He traveled to over 40 countries, including Haiti, Russia, Israel, Greece, Tibet, Indonesia and Thailand, where he has studied indigenous culture, taught and worked with children and young adults, and given his own performances. He has taught and performed in most of the capitals of Europe and lived in Japan for several years, serving as music critic for a Tokyo newspaper. He shares how real people creatively tap the power of sound to improve their own and others' lives, openning the door to fuller, richer, and much more harmonious way of life.  He collected dramatic accounts of how music is used to deal with everything from anxiety to cancer, high blood pressure, chronic pain, dyslexia, and even mental illness.Don Campell (1946 - 2012) wrote 23 books including "The Roar of Silence: Healing Powers of Breath Tone and Music” and best seller "the Mosart Effect.” He was Influential in the evolution of music therapy as a field of practice and study, Campbell founded the Institute of Music, Health and Education in Boulder in 1988 and lectured worldwide, serving as its director until 1997. He later served as director of the Sound and Music Institute at the New York Open Center.From the Archives: This live interview was recorded on  March 21, 1998 on the nationally syndicated radio program, hosted by Laura Lee .

Acoustic Engineer shares his experiment performed in the Great Pyramid and finds the prime frequency of the chamber and the sarcophagus are almost identical!   Almost every person who has experienced the acoustics of the Great Pyramid's King's Chamber has walked away with a feeling of awe, in some cases coupled with an impression that the chamber was intentional designed to be reverberate. For a relatively small chamber the reverberation is indeed extraordinary; one can literally hear one's own breathing and this experience often accompanies feelings of deep reverence. This notion of design implies a prior knowledge of acoustics.John Stuart Reid is an English acoustics engineer with 40 years experience. Between 1996 and 1997 he carried out a series of acoustics experiments in the Great Pyramid, including a hugely successful cymatics experiment in which ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs formed on a membrane stretched over the sarcophagus and sprinkled with sand.From the Archives: This live interview was recorded on  July 19, 2002.  on the nationally syndicated radio program, hosted by Laura Lee .

Most all of us create a false story of our lives  - to create and maintain an image of who we want people to think we really are. The problems come when we discover that living within that false image - both personally and professionally - is very stressful and disconnecting.  While telling the truth may cause some very big scenes in the beginning, it is a quick path to a powerful place of personal freedom. We discuss practical suggestions on how to ease into a life of actively open transparency that is Radical Honesty. There is so many compelling reasons to begin telling the truth with everyone with whom we would like to have a close and authentic relationship.Brad Blanton is a psychotherapist, author, workshop leader, speaker, and the founder of Radical Honesty Enterprises (forbearer to the Radical Honesty Institute).  Dr. Brad Blanton describes himself as “white trash with a Ph.D.” Armed with quick wit and an engaging Southern accent, he speaks with an unwavering honesty that is both disarming and challenging, a quality that has earned him admirers as well as detractors.Also available in Spotify for download Laura Lee, Laura Lee Show, Conversation4Exploration.

The Five Tibetan Rites is a system of exercises reported to be more than 2,500 years old, which were first publicized by Peter Kelder in a 1939 publication titled The Eye of Revelation.  The Five Rites and traditional Tibetan yoga emphasize "a continuous sequence of movement". The practice of these exercises is based on the body's energy. According to practitioners, the body has seven energy fields, or vortexes. The five positions are as follows:    Tibetan Spin , Prone To Upward Staff Pose, Rabbit To Camel Pose, Staff To Upward Plank Pose, Upward Dog To Downward Dog.From the Archives: This live interview was recorded on  March 21, 1998 on the nationally syndicated radio program, hosted by Laura Lee .

Optimizing and Finding Alternatives to Wood.  Dan Imhoff addresses the issue of how to build homes with an eye toward the future and the maintenance of the forests of the world. As he points out, while wood is a natural material and biodegradable—normally considered good characteristics by those who make the effort to be environmentally conscious—it takes far more time to grow a tree than it does to cut one down. In order for trees to be a sustainable material, a new tree must be planted for each one that is used for building, and the speed of nature is not conducive to this type of an exchange.  Imhoff discusses the various materials that can be used as an alternative, and explains the benefits of each of them. A reviewer for Science News noted the statistic that "for each 2,000-square-foot house, one acre of forest is felled," illustrating the need for embracing Imhoff's suggestions.  Daniel Imhoff is a writer and activist whose primary interests focus on various ways in which people can make better use of the planet's natural resources.   From the Archives: This live interview was recorded on  March 20, 2002 on the nationally syndicated radio program, hosted by Laura Lee .

Jacqui Bushell has been dancing with the mythic imagination for much of her life. She weaves plant spirit alchemy, energetic healing, embodiment practices, journey work, and storytelling, with archetypal wisdom held in fairy tales that give voice to the land. For three decades, she has been guiding exploration into personal mythology at the borderlands of psyche, body, and culture, in women's circles, ceremonies, retreats, and workshops in Australia and internationally for 30 years. We discuss how the earliest myths and fairy tales bridge our disconnect from nature, calling forth our instinctual wisdom and embodied power. Comparing tales old, new, and those adapted to our time, we look at the underlying messages, and how the Brothers Grimm and Disney added their own imprints. Most recently, we see women in new roles. “It's time for women to reclaim these stories and the magical, mythical and empowered roles within,” says Jacqui, and we hear that come to life in her retelling of the oldest recorded versions of “Red Riding Hood” and other well-known tales.*NEW - Recorded 12/16/2022This live interview was hosted by Laura Lee .

Tales of Animal Intrigue, Intelligence & Ingenuity.   Animal intelligence is the combination of skills and abilities that allow animals to live in and adapt to their specific environments.

Feng shui is an ancient Chinese traditional practice which claims to use energy forces to harmonize individuals with their surrounding environment. The term feng shui means, literally, "wind-water" (i.e., fluid). From ancient times, landscapes and bodies of water were thought to direct the flow of the universal Qi – “cosmic current” or energy – through places and structures. Because Qi has the same patterns as wind and water, a specialist who understands them can affect these flows to improve wealth, happiness, long life, and family; on the other hand, the wrong flow of Qi brings bad results.Our guest shares stories about the positive changes that can occurred in people's lives after making Feng Shui adjustments.
