Join us as she introduces her new book RECLAIMING THE WILD SOUL and takes us on a fascinating journey into Earth’s five great landscapes — deserts, forests, oceans and rivers, mountains, and grasslands — as they reveal timeless aspects of our deeper, wilder selves. Luxuriate in the Earth's wild beauty and fierce challenges. See how deserts model simplicity and silence, how forests help us make peace with uncertainty, how rivers and oceans reveal the power of flow, how mountains inspire our highest purpose, and how grasslands teach us about giving back. Discover how Mary's work connects people to nature--and their own inner nature—through what she calls WILD LANGUAGE—the way the Earth speaks to us in metaphors and symbols about our lives and purpose.

  A little while ago, I came across  an article in Yes! Magazine that stopped me in my tracks. It was called One Poem that Saved A Forest: How the friendship between a poet and a timber baron kept a grove of California redwoods from clear-cutting by Jacqueline Suskin. Upon talking with Jacqueline, I discovered that she also made a living as a poet at ThePoem Store by composing one-of-a-kind poems on a manual typewriter, in exchange for a donation (your subject, your price). Plus, she has written two books; Go Ahead & Like It and The Collected … and her work concept has been profiled in the New York Times and the LA Times.  Join us as we talk about her poetry, The Poem Store project, her compassion and humanity, and how to come together to successfully tackle projects (like saving a forest grove) for the greater good of all. As a special treat, I'll pick a subject and Jacqueline will write a poem for us … right on the spot. You’ll love it!

ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION with Mildred Lynn, HiC Luttmers, and special guest, Fred Isom, Life Coach and Intuitive Consultant : NICENESS vs. KINDNESS. What's the difference ? How can we cultivate each ? When is each appropriate ? Born in San Diego, California into a family of artists, Ptahmassu Nofra-Uaa began at an early age to receive instruction in figure studies, watercolor technique, and Old World oil painting methods from his father, an accomplished portrait and landscape painter. Ptahmassu's extensive training in the fine arts is omnipresent in his vocation as an iconographer, creating devotional panels of deities from the Egyptian and Near Eastern religious traditions in watercolor, gold, and semi-precious stones. At the age of six, Ptahmassu began what has evolved into a life long obsession with the civilization, art and religious practices of the ancient Egyptians. By the time he entered puberty, Ptahmassu had taught himself to read and write the ancient Egyptian language, and could recite the major chapters of the Book of the Dead by heart. Ptahmassu Nofra-Uaa is an ordained priest of the California Temple of Isis, dedicated to the cultivation of the Sacred Feminine embodied in the Egyptian Mother Goddess Isis. He is also a Priest-Hierophant of the International Fellowship of Isis, a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic and multi-religious community celebrating the ancient wisdom paths of the Goddess today. He is the author of a forthcoming book of poetry titled I Could Wring That Sparrows Neck: Verses On Love, Death and Immortality, to be released by Maverick-Reads.

Recently, I had the good fortune to sit down with DR PAULA CREIGHTON, MD, FRCPC in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada.  Dr. Creighton, who specializes in the field of aging or Geriatrics, has a tremendous amount of information to share, on both a professional and personal level, that may alter (in a good way) the way you perceive the aging process. Although aging is a natural part of the human life cycle, many of us shy away from accessing the expertise and support we need to ensure that our “golden years” (or our parent’s golden years) are fulfilling, healthy, balanced and rewarding.  These resources may include invaluable diagnostics, key medical advances, coordination of services, and meaningful community connection. After talking with Dr. Creighton, I had two flashes of inspiration: First, “I want to learn more.” and second, “Wow, this would be fantastic information for our listeners.”  So, get ready for a empowering conversation about AGING WELL that flows straight from the spirit and into the heart. Thank you Dr. Creighton for doing this work!
