Journeys Through Time – Unraveling the Threads of Multiple Incarnationswith Dena Merriam

Journeys Through Time – Unraveling the Threads of Multiple Incarnationswith Dena Merriam

Have you ever wondered how much of your past has shaped who you are and the experiences you have today? 

 

How would you feel if you discovered that the person you dislike the most in this life was the one you loved the most in your last one? 

 

As with all of her books,  Dena Merriam's latest book, To Dance With the Dakinis: In Search of Self is a study of the universal law of cause and effect, how events in our life, our deeds, thoughts and reactions impel the process of rebirth. But what makes this one different is that she brings the Law of Karma to life by sharing a story that begins in 12th Century Tibet, and then unravels the threads that link together two more incarnations of the same soul - her own - illustrating how the events set in motion in one life, led to the crisis she experiences in the ones that follow. 

 

Dena Merriam has been a student of Paramahansa Yogananda and a practitioner of Kriya Yoga meditation for over 40 years. She began working in the inter-faith movement in the late 1990s, and  founded the Global Peace Initiative of Women (GPIW) in 2002. She is currently the Chair of the International Advisory Council of the Auroville Foundation in India. Her books include My Journey Through Time, The Untold Story of Sita, When the Bright Moon Rises, Rukmini and the Turning of Time and To Dance with Dakinis.

 

Dena joins us this week to share the 10 best spiritual books that influenced her the most on her life journey, along with some of the great teachings that she learned from her past lives that we can apply to our lives today.

Tales of a Transmuted Troublemaker with Winn Taylor

Tales of a Transmuted Troublemaker with Winn Taylor

Neither guru nor gunslinger, Winn Taylor stumbles along the same humble path with the rest of us mere mortals who dare to ask, “What the bleep is going on around here?” If you're looking for answers to that or any other existential question, you might want to bypass our interview with this goofy Sci-Fi writer. You'll likely only walk away with more questions—none of which promise to be profound. 


However, if you're in the market or mood for a laugh and an effortless chat with a transmuted-troublemaker recounting her bounce through life and the books that propelled her forward, then make a note of the date. You don't need a PhD to romp through life's playground with Winn. Let's just have a bit of fun peeling back a few layers, shall we?

Make Changes Not Excuses – A Journey to Leadership Via the Love of Books with Molly Harvey

Make Changes Not Excuses – A Journey to Leadership Via the Love of Books with Molly Harvey

Molly Harvey is one of those women about whom people say "the grass doesn't grow under her feet." Growing up on a country estate where her family worked in Northern Ireland, Molly's thirst for reading was ignited by Lady Waterford, who would come knocking on the family's door every Christmas, carrying a brown wicker basket containing a gift of a new hardcover book. When Molly's father died, when she was just 14, her mother insisted she leave school and go to work. Molly refused and her mother cut up all of her school books. In response, Molly vowed to read one book every month for the rest of her life. And she still does.

 

Molly went on to become a world authority leader on leadership development, the Visionary Founder of OWL (Outstanding Women Leaders), the first national woman President of the Professional Speakers Association in England, a founding member of the Transformational Leaders Council, and the author of 9 books. If that isn't proof that regardless of our early life circumstances, we all can achieve our dreams if we set our minds to.

Osiris and the Secrets of Alchemical Transformation with Thom Cavalli

Osiris and the Secrets of Alchemical Transformation with Thom Cavalli

What could we say about Thom Cavalli that could possibly compete with this description: “Thom Cavalli’s workshops are a delightful mix of scholarship and performance art, including symbolic ritual mummification and culinary offerings from recipes created by victims of the Holocaust that demonstrate obscure alchemical principles, operations and procedures. One can never be sure what to expect from this wily modern-day trickster, but rest assured that a higher order always emerges from his special brand of alchemy.” 

 

Since we can’t top that, we’ll just encourage you to join us this week to hear about the 10 books that inspired this dream analyst, artist, spiritualist and author of books on alchemy along the way.
