Lesley was recently joined by actor, singer, Inter-spiritual Minister, philosopher and provocative thinker, Sandra Bargman for a fascinating conversation about life and its many facets. Having realized herself as a Walking Venn Diagram, Sandra dives into the understanding of the polarities of life, the light and the dark, the sacred and the profane of everyday. She shares poignant perspectives on her commitment to sharing her Voice as we all navigate crossroads of Humanity. From the stage to her recent commitment to be a leader in the renaissance of Salon culture, Sandra discusses the many means and platforms from which she delivers her understandings and messages. The listener will be charmed by the story of the how Sandra's understanding of her relationship with the edge was birthed during a road trip with her beloved, thus came her recognition of walking through life as an edgewalker. From developing one woman shows, to podcasting, to converting a building on she and her husband's Catskills property into the salon space called The Plum, Sandra skips right past the common and traditional to walk the edge of her life. Sandra Bargman is a creative soul, intuitive communicator, and energetic servant. It started at three years old, when she marched into the family kitchen, hands on her hips and announced that she was here on “a mission”! Every career choice She's made has ultimately rested on the ancient Greek maxim of “Know Thyself”, the directive that is at the heart of every artistic, spiritual and leadership journey. Sandra holds a BFA from Carnegie-Mellon University in drama and music and have had a happy 35+ year career as a professional actor, director, teacher and presentation coach. She's performed on the stages of Broadway national tours, off-Broadway, and beyond and continue to work in the industry.

Unaffiliated with any single religious tradition. Sandra's helped clients of all faiths and traditions (including none) in pursuing deeper self- understanding in their personal quest to 'Know Thyself”. Sandra helps others understand and accept the inevitability of change. In 2014, she started my own company, Sacred Stages, LLC, which is dedicated to encouraging everyone to discover the timeless universal truths of Spirit/The Sacred/The Divine through the venue of live theater, music, workshops, and ritual design. Sandra's one-woman show, The Edge of Everyday, garnered a Broadway World award nomination.

Transboundary waters - the rivers, lakes, and aquifers shared by two or more countries - are found in 153 of the world's 192 countries. They account for an estimated 60 per cent of global freshwater flow. As a critical component of our survival, water has long been a source of conflict between nations. The stakes are higher with a rapidly increasing population and threats of water scarcity. In this episode, we talk to Aaron Wolf, a trained mediator and facilitator and Professor of Geography in the College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences at Oregon State University, about transboundary cooperation as a useful tool for adaptation.   His research and teaching focus is on the interaction between water science and water policy, particularly as related to conflict prevention and resolution. He has acted as a consultant to the World Bank and several international government agencies on various aspects of transboundary water resources and dispute resolution. A trained mediator/facilitator, Wolf directs the Program in Water Conflict Management and Transformation. Through it, he offers workshops, facilitations, and mediation in basins throughout the world. He coordinates the Transboundary Freshwater Dispute Database, and is a co-director of the Universities Partnership on Transboundary Waters.  Aaron Wolf has been an author/editor for seven books, as well as almost 50 journal articles, book chapters, and professional reports on various aspects of transboundary waters, including his most recent book: The Spirit of Dialogue.

Rabbi Tuvia Teldon – Eight Paths of PurposeAired Thursday, May 13, 2021, at 5:00 PM PST / 8:00 PM ESTI've shared on this and other programs a teaching I received when I enrolled in The New Seminary of New York in 1997. It was the first interfaith seminary, founded by my late mentor, teacher, and friend, Rabbi Joseph Gelberman, as well as thought leaders and teachers from many different faiths. Rabbi Gelberman shared with us a Hebrew expression, HaKol Beseder. Literally translated, it means everything is in order. But his sharing was that it had a greater meaning; that everything was unfolding in Divine Order. He shared that events may take place that we may not understand, that may be painful and challenge our respective faiths, but that ultimately, there is a higher purpose at work. They key concept is purpose.My guest this week on Vox Novus, Rabbi Tuvia Teldon, searched for this purpose after the tragic loss of his first son. In his quest, he found meaning and purpose in all of life's challenges and circumstances.Rabbi Teldon grew up in Staten Island, New York and graduated high school in St. Louis, Missouri. He received his rabbinical ordination from the Central Chabad Rabbinical College in Brooklyn soon after marrying Chaya Leet, who hails from Detroit, Michigan. They moved to Long Island in 1977 to establish the regional headquarters for the International Chabad-Lubavitch Movement and help build the Jewish community. Rabbi Teldon now serves as the executive director for the 34 Chabad centers in Long Island, with a staff of 54 full-time rabbis and their wives. He is also rabbi emeritus of the Chabad Jewish Center of Mid-Suffolk and a former member of the East Long Island cabinet for UJA-Federation. He serves on a number of international committees for the worldwide Lubavitch Movement in Brooklyn. He also hosts a weekly interview show on Altice Cable throughout Long Island. He and his wife, Chaya, a well-known global speaker on Jewish topics and a one-time special guest on The Oprah Show, live in Commack, Long Island. Their family now includes five adult children, their spouses, and a growing tree of grandchildren. His website is https://www.eightpathsofpurpose.com/ and he joins me this week to share his path and his book, Eight Paths of Purpose.Visit the Vox Novus Show Page https://omtimes.com/iom/shows/vox-novus/Connect with Victor Fuhrman at http://victorthevoice.com/#RabbiTuviaTeldon #EightPathsOfPurpose #VoxNovus #VictorFuhrman

Would love a good book to be your Lenten companion? Do I have a book for you! Inspired by Angels is a collection of ‘letters’ from archangels Michael, Raphael, Uriel and Gabriel and covers topics such as ‘trusting your inner voice’ and ‘create your inner temple.’ I love this book so much!   In this week’s episode, I will share the miraculous way this book came into my life, and how you can use it as an oracle, opening it to a random page to receive an angelic message for the day. In addition to sharing the author’s journey, I also randomly opened the book to read a message just for you…tune in to discover the topic…hint: it’s from Archangel Gabriel!   AND I’m so excited to share that the author is my guest for next week’s episode!!! Episode Takeaways: Books are truly miraculous! This book came into my life in a miraculous way when I lived in New York City and was attending the New Seminary. I had never heard anyone else refer to the four archangels as a group, and this book helped to deepen my connection with them.   The author shares her own experience of getting to know the four archangels after reading an article. She began to invoke their presence and began to feel them with her. Then one day, without invoking them, she could sense their presence and even heard a ‘voice’ guide her to begin writing down messages!     Although this book is filled with inspiring messages, the author’s true goal is to help you begin to listen to your own inner guidance. Asking the angels to help you is a great way to start.   “Magical things begin to happen when you develop an awareness of angels and invite their participation in your life.” Sinda Jordan, author of Inspired by Angels   Click here to purchase Inspired by Angels by Sinda Jordan   Want to join the Magnify Your Miracles Membership?

Laurie Sue Brockway – Lakshmi MagicAired Thursday, January 7, 2021, at 5:00 PM PST / 8:00 PM ESTThe word “mother” suggests images of comfort, home, safety, caring and, of course, motherly love. Coming after a trying and difficult year, many of us long for that special loving energy. Some of us have lost our mothers while the physical separation mandated by the pandemic has resulted in being distant from some moms. There are many who experience connection with a “divine mother” as a source of inspiration, comfort, and ultimate motherly love. Is there a way of bringing that energy, goddess energy, into our lives as a complement to our existing faiths and belief systems?My guest this week on Destination Unlimited, Reverend Laurie Sue Brockway, had that very experience more than two decades ago with the Hindu Goddess Lakshmi. Rev. Laurie Sue Brockway has written extensively on women's spirituality, self-esteem, emotional health, relationships, and weddings. The foundation of her ministry is to celebrate all traditions and to include all aspects of the Divine. For more than 20 years, Rev. Laurie Sue has presided over a multicultural wedding ministry based in New York and is widely recognized as an expert on interfaith, intercultural, and highly personalized nondenominational weddings. She honors relationships between all couples and believes in focusing on the common denominator of love.She is a graduate of the New Seminary for Interfaith Studies. She received her B.A. in Human Development from S.U.N.Y and studied Marriage and Family Therapy at Mercy College.

Felicity Eliot – Share International and MaitreyaAired Wednesday, 5 June 2019, 8:00 PM ETIn the mid 1990’s, I attended, graduated from and was ordained through The New Seminary of New York. This ground breaking interfaith seminary was founded by my spiritual teacher, Rabbi Joseph Gelberman. One of the concepts that Rabbi Gelberman shared was that of the fractured messiah. He taught that people of virtually every major religion and faith were awaiting the return of their respective savior and teacher; Christians are awaiting the second coming of Christ, Jews are awaiting Moshiach, Muslims are awaiting the Imam Mahdi, Hindus are awaiting the final incarnation of Vishnu and Buddhists are awaiting the bodhisattva Maitreya. In a world filled with strife, hatred, divisiveness, anger and fear, is there a great teacher who we may look to for answers and deliverance?As in ages past when humanity had reached a point of crisis, there are those who advocate that a great teacher has come to bring the wisdom needed to help us solve our problems and evolve to a higher level of consciousness. According to Share International, represented by Felicity Eliot, Chief Editor of Share International magazine, the teacher for this age is Maitreya, and he has been in the everyday world since 1977 assisting behind the scenes. He is expected to make a major public appearance very soon.Felicity Eliot has been an active member of the worldwide Share International group since 1976. She explains information presented and brought up to date by founder Benjamin Creme and draws from a background in the Ageless Wisdom Teachings, Benjamin Creme’s books and her long association with him, as well as more than 40 years study of the works of the Tibetan Master Djwal Khul. She lives in Amsterdam and joins me this evening to discuss the work of Share International and Maitreya.

Aired Wednesday, 24 October 2018, 8:00 PM ETKeeping it Real with Alexander GarrettThey say that in life, if we are open to it, there will always be a second chance. For me, that second chance came in the form of a synchronistic and beautiful love story that started 21 years ago. It was then that a woman, an incoming student to the New Seminary of New York, heard me speak at the graduation and ordination ceremony. She was holding her six-year-old son, Alexander, and heard me honoring my courageous partner, Judi, who was also graduating and nearing the end of her struggle with metastatic cancer. Laurie Sue, Alexander’s mom, was moved by my words that planted a seed in her heart…a seed that would fruition into family two years later.The first part of this new relationship was with Alexander. As Laurie Sue would bring him to New Seminary related functions, he would see me, flash this amazing smile, and want to hang out with me. My amazing, six-year old pal, was born with so many challenges yet filled with joy, an outgoing personality and a spirit that would warm your heart. As life and love would have it, two years later his mom and I began our special journey and were married just before his 13th birthday, bringing me a new partner and a new son…a son of my soul.On October 20th, we celebrated Alexander’s 27th birthday. When he was born, the physical challenges that accompanied him into this life might not have had such a joyous outcome. But love, perseverance and indominable spirit were and are his birthright and destiny.Alexander Kent Garrett joins me this week on Destination Unlimited to share his story. Alex is a graduate of Queens College with a degree in Media Studies. He works as a Talk Radio Producer for Salem Media Group and the shows are carried on WNYM, 970 “The Answer” in New York City area with national syndication. He also has his own podcast, “Keeping it Real with Alexander Garrett.”

Roger about his pilgrimages to Spain and Lourdes, France. He said he started ith a visit to friends, then went to Fatima, Portugal, then to Spain for a priests' retreat, then to Lourdes. He also visited several shrines of martyrs and saints and dedicated to Mary. His retreat helped him to prepare for the Year of Faith. He was with 28 Spanish priests on the retreat. Scot asked what is was like to now visit Lourdes as pastor of St. Bernadette Parish. He said that he prayed for a blessing on his new mission and his parishioners. Fr. Roger said he contemplated anew St. Bernadette's example of praying the Sign of the Cross, not simply making the Sign of the Cross before beginning prayer. Turning to local news, Msgr. James Moroney was installed as the 20th rector of St. James Seminary. Scot noted that he was the first rector who is a diocesan priest not of the Archdiocese of Boston. He also has a worldwide reputation as an expert in the Liturgy. Greg noted that Msgr. Moroney was instrumental in the new translation of the Roman Missal. He noted that the monsignor began his work in July and only now have they had the installation after the academic year has begun and on the family day in which many of the seminarians' families were present. Scot said Msgr. Moroney is a wonderful homilist. Susan noted that the Cardinal said he was impressed by the monsignor's joy and love of the priesthood. Some of you began God's holy work of forming priests … in other holy houses … where mothers and fathers taught sons how to make the sign of the cross … how to love as Jesus first loved them,“ he said. ”Some of you are their pastors and priests. You so moved them by the dedication of your lives that these men wanted to be just like you. You inspired them to become other Christs… Some of you are their bishops who have confided them to the care of this venerable seminary,“ he said. ”Here, men learn … to live as holy priests. They learn to preach, to administer the sacraments, and to set the world on fire with divine faith … to draw all people to Christ." Fr. Roger noted that the rector is a model and the master. It's a significant appointment. He said when a rector isn't very good, there are many men who leave the seminary and even those who are ordained will sometimes leave after a few years because they were badly formed. On the other hand, he noted Cardinal Hickey who formed many men who are bishops and cardinals today. Also in the Pilot are two stories on the ordination of 10 men to the Permanent Diaconate. The newly ordained deacons are Deacons Robert C. Balzarini, Vincent Gatto, James T. Hinkle, Michael C. Joens, Jonathan Jones, Brian K. Kean, Thomas O'Shea, Louis J. Piazza, William K. Reidy, and Paulo Torrens. Scot said Torrens is notable because he is the first permanent deacon ordained in the Archdiocese who is from the Brazilian community. Greg said he knows Cardinal Seán is very excited by this development. The Brazilian community is a very large group within the Archdiocese. Scot said the deacons will have a dual ministry in parishes and in offices of the Central Ministries. Scot asked Fr. Roger about the trend of immigrants becoming permanent deacons. Fr. Roger said in the Southwest US you see a lot of immigrant permanent deacons. In the Northeast it's still relatively rare. Practically speaking, most deacon programs require an academic component and in many cases these men are hardworking blue-collar workers without a college degree. Deacon Torrens already has a Master's degree in psychology, which helped a lot. He said having immigrant deacons is helpful because it makes it easier for someone from the culture to pass on the faith. Scot said last week a close collaborator with Mother Teresa spoke at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross. Msgr. Leo Maaburg wrote a book on her life from his perspective as a friend. Susan said he said that he had admired her wit and fiery nature. Greg also said Msgr. Maasburg talked about how Mother Teresa saw abortion as a threat to world peace. Fr. Roger said Mother Teresa also put love for others at the forefront of everything she does. Scot asked Greg about the appointment of his pastor at Our Lady of the Assumption in East Boston also as pastor of St. Benedict Parish in Somerville. He remains pastor of both parishes. Greg said he's been pastor in East Boston for the past five years and has put a lot of time in on the physical restoration of the church. He's also brought back a lot of life to the parish in terms of sacraments and programs. Also in the Pilot this week is a complete list of all religious sisters celebrating jubilees this year, from a recent Mass in their honor. Scot said 16 are celebrating 75 years, 16 celebrating 70 years, 12 celebrating 65 years, 65 celebrating 60 years, 35 celebrating 50 years, and 6 celebrating 25 years. Susan noted the sisters that she knew herself. She said she wish they had listed their religious names they had before the changes of Vatican II because she only knows many of them by those names. Fr. Roger said the numbers show us that most of the older sisters were born in the Great Depression and were teens in World War II, who saw the commitment of the Greatest Generation and saw how they could sacrifice for a greater cause. This was a generation not afraid to make commitments. It was also a time that the Church was very vigorous and there was a lot of work for religious sisters. He said it also shows that the lifestyle of religious sisters is a very healthy one, which helps them to be long-lived. He noted that even the Golden Jubilarians were also not Baby Boomers, being born in the 1940s. He said culture and the time we live has a huge influence on vocations. Greg nboted that this is an annual Mass that was always at the Cathedral until it was closed for renovations in 1997 and has since then been at St. Theresa's in West Roxbury. 2nd segment: Scot said in this week's Pilot, Cardinal Seán has another op-ed on assisted suicide. This one focuses on the idea that we would never endorse suicide in other aspects of life. Greg said the cardinal writes that when someone says they are depressed we don't approve of them killing themselves. How can we say suicide is fine in some circumstances, but for a depressed teen, for example, it's not. Susan notes that name of the op-ed is also the name of the website with many good resources. She said our society has so many resources to prevent suicide, but yet we're saying it's okay. Scot said Mass. Gov. Deval Patrick said this week that he leans toward approving of assisted suicide. He wouldn't want it for himself but wouldn't want to impose it on others. Fr. Roger said he would ask the governor if he's in favor of providing nooses in public high schools to give the option to depressed students. Would he be in favor of the option for them? Of course, the governor would say no. The real question is whether suicide is a tragedy or not. Proponents try to claim that it is not a tragedy. It's just someone accepting they're already dying and trying to die less painfully. But we're all dying from the moment we're born. Fr. Roger added that the US government issued a report that the suicides have passed car accidents as the leading cause of death by injury. From 2002 to 2009, suicides grew by 15%. So what will the government's response? Is it going to say that it's a good and moral thing to do? He would ask Gov. Patrick if he's ever been to the funeral of someone who committed suicide and recognized that it's never a celebration. Scot said that even for those support the idea of physician-assisted suicide, this particular law is a bad law because it has too few safeguards like notifying spouses or having doctors involved. Scot responds to proponents that suicide has collateral damage; this type of suicide requires accomplices, including pharmacists who don't have conscience exemptions as well as the person who has to help the patient take the 90 pills; and it is hypocritical about suicides for other people. Quoting Cardinal Seán's op-ed: We have come to appreciate how dangerous depression can be. It is like quicksand that devours a person in the unstoppable urge to self-destruction. Sometimes we experience a rash of suicides in a community, as one depressed person — upon hearing of a friend, acquaintance or even a stranger, who takes his own life — repeats that action. The copycat syndrome is a very real danger. The suffering of a suicide reverberates in the psyche of friends, relatives and co-workers and also in people who have attempted or considered suicide in the past. Suicide always affects other people; it is never an act that only affects the individual involved. Family members, friends and neighbors often are filled with lingering sadness, guilt and confusion. Sometimes those who are closest to the deceased never completely recover, never forgive themselves and are haunted for the rest of their lives by the loss. There are dedicated suicide prevention organizations like the Samaritans that stand ready to help people in the throes of depression and suicidal thoughts. Many volunteers stand ready on their hotlines, always prepared to try to bring solace and help to those suffering from suicidal impulses. There are also heroic first responders who often risk their lives to help stop someone from taking one's own life. All of us are called upon to be Good Samaritans and to work to prevent suicides in our community. Scot said this is a good response to the objection why it's anyone else's business. He then referred to another column in the Pilot written by Dwight Duncan. He wrote that we should avoid euphemisms: this isn't medication. If it kills someone it's poison. Susan said Duncan gets to the core of the issue: I'm against the death penalty in general, even for those found guilty of serious crimes beyond a reasonable doubt, so why should I be in favor of it being facilitated by private doctors on innocent, if suffering, individuals, even if they request it in a distraught state? Greg liked how Duncan approaches the topic in plain language. Scot notes that Fr. Roger's column is entitled “Humor and joy in the New Evangelization.” Fr. Roger said Fr. James Martin had asked comedian Stephen Colbert to participate with Cardinal Timothy Dolan in a forum on the topic of humor and joy in the New Evangelization. More than 3,000 Fordham students waited overnight to get tickets. Fr. Roger said that the result is the idea that at end of our story we are living a comedy, not a tragdy. He encouraged listeners to seek out the remarks from the forum to read what was said there. Susan also encouraged listeners to go read Fr. Roger's column from last week on the Sign of the Cross and Scot encouraged everyone to read Fr. Martin's book on humor in the Christian life.
