Ep317: Dead Sea Magic - Lama Glenn Mullin & Oded Rahav
In this episode I host a dialogue between Lama Glenn Mullin and Oded Rahav about the magic of the Dead Sea.
Oded shares how he fell in love with the Dead Sea, the power of story and the arts in communicating important messages, and why he believes water is a sacred medium.
Glenn reveals the power of sacred places and how they are formed through a combination of geomantic features and human spiritual activity.
Glenn and Oded explore the history of the Dead Sea region, trace 10000 years of Western mysticism, and discuss how the area may hold the keys to peace in the region.
