Author and filmmaker Pria Acharya shares how a personal turning point shattered old, generational conditioning and opened her to a deeper truth. From discovering the hidden realities behind the dairy industry to the story of a calf who forever changed her heart, Pria invites us as spiritual journeyers to question what we’ve been taught, who we want to be, and how far our compassion extends.

Step into the mysteries of Ancient Egypt with Fotoula Adrimi, bestselling author and director of the Isis School of Holistic Health. In this episode, Fotoula shares how the goddess Isis guides/informs her life and reveals the true nature of Egypt’s temples as living portals of light, much more than what we’ve been taught!

Her message is simple yet profound: trust your heart, trust humanity’s goodness, and embrace this rare and pivotal moment in history—we are here not to collapse, but to awaken.

What if death isn’t the end, but a doorway to discovering who we truly are? Dr. Brad Stuart—physician, innovator, and author—takes us from the halls of Stanford Medical School to the mysteries and stark realities of end-of-life care. He discusses what’s missing in medical training, the challenges that doctors face to stay human in the current profit-centered medical paradigm, and the healing that happens to both doctor and patient through compassion and listening. Along the way, we uncover near-death experiences, visions at the bedside, and the surprising role of psychedelics in easing our fear of dying. Brad’s message is whether we start now or let death do it for us, letting go is the ultimate practice we all face. This is about more than death—it’s about awakening to your true self and perhaps having hope for the future of medicine and healthcare. 🔗 Connect with Dr. Brad at : https://bradstuartmd.com/ ✍ Amazon Link to buy Dr. Brad’s book : https://www.amazon.com/Facing-Death-Spirituality-Science-Surrender/dp/1954920652/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1689378567&sr=8-1 🎙️ Listen on Apple Podcasts & rate us to spread the light! - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-spiritual-forum/id1357984858 📍 Join our upcoming retreat at Unity Village: https://thespiritualforum.org/retreat ❤️ Support this mission: https://thespiritualforum.org/ Bio - Brad Stuart, MD is a physician specializing in end-of-life care, a healthcare system innovator, and an author and international speaker.

What if love and suffering weren’t opposites, but secret partners on the path to awakening? In this conversation, Zach Beach—yoga teacher, poet, therapist, and author of Love and Suffering: A Spiritual Guide for Helpers, Healers, and Humans—shares why love and suffering go hand in hand and how suffering (something we all don’t want for ourselves!) is the soil of transformation. We explore the teachings and personal sacrifices of the mystics, the paradoxes of God, why our deepest wounds surface in relationships, and the antidote to our nonstop thinking. This episode is an invitation to see suffering as sacred, love as universal, and every being as worthy of compassion. You’ll discover the path to stillness in a noisy, divided world and how this very moment is a gateway to awakening.

Finding himself “never happy, never excited, but functional,” Robert Joseph boldly undertook the hero’s journey from disconnection and meaningless material immersion to spiritual awakening and authentic manhood rooted in divine love, and he now lives to help other men do the same. In this episode he shares his understanding of Christ consciousness (beyond traditional religious interpretation) and how embodying Christ-like virtues will guide men to a life of purpose and higher calling. We discuss the role of the authentic man, the power of forgiveness, the importance of rites of passage, the impact of the father wound, and the power of brotherhood in healing and growth. This episode challenges cultural misconceptions about masculinity and offers a vision for new life-affirming communities and systems. Plus, you’ll learn a whole new way of looking at the critical role of parents.

In the late 1980’s, Thomas Radzienda awakened to the truth that no matter who our political leaders were, we still bombed people. He consequently left his corporate job and traveled the world seeking understanding, universal compassion, non-violent living, and simplicity before eventually settling in Thailand as a teacher and healer. In this conversation, Thomas shares how veganism and spirituality connect and how our culturally accepted masking of animal suffering damages our spirits. We also discuss the effect of media on our minds and how meditation restores clarity. Thomas seeks to inspire spiritual non-vegans to try plant-based living and non-spiritual vegans to pursue the spiritual path. Offering practical steps to transform mind, body and spirit, his approach is gentle, incremental, and encouraging for everyone.

Internationally renowned yoga, Ayurveda, and emotional healing teacher Reema Datta shares how the events of 9/11 inspired her to leave her prestigious UN career and embark upon a soul-led journey to help people to find peace within themselves. Raised in a family of yogis and inspired by her grandmother’s quiet wisdom, Reema has committed over 20 years of her life to restoring yoga in the west to its original spiritual roots beyond body positions. In this episode she introduces us to her 12-week transformative program, which includes establishing a supportive community, examining our stories, and exploring how kleshas—delusion, attachment, jealousy and more—block our true nature and hinder our fulfillment. She also shares a breathing technique that calms the mind and heals the body and what it was like to lead yoga sessions with Sting and Paul Simon. In a world filled with distractions and dumbing-down technology, now is the time to reclaim our souls and live with presence, power, and peace.
