"World Peace, Through Inner Peace"

Social entrepreneur, spiritual guide and author Virginia Swain explains how personal tragedy shaped her spiritual focus, her work at the United Nations, and her vision for the transformation of America in a post 9/11 world. She also speaks about her most recent community project, America’s Soul Cafe, and provides advice to anyone seeking to integrate their quest for inner peace with peace in the world.

Virginia is the author of the recently published book, My Soul’s Journey to Redefine Leadership: A New Phoenix Rises from the Ashes of 9/11.

This interview was recorded during the  August 21, 2017 Solar Eclipse.

Spiritualities: East and West

Cross-cultural communication scholar William Kelly talks about what his extensive travels in Africa, the Philippines and Japan taught him about himself. He also talks about how Asian spirituality is fundamentally different from how most Westerners perceive it, the contrast between Asian spirituality and Western materialism; and how the current worldwide nationalistic trend may be a precursor towards a more spiritually oriented era in which global inter-connectivity is prized.

View from Hoboken. I think that's Manhattan. The band Insect Trust, fronted by my old friend Nancy Jeffries, back in the day titled their Album, Hoboken Saturday Night. Anyone remember?
