Author and artist Lupa invites us to go beyond simply exploring the symbols of nature, encouraging us to bury our hands in the earth and work with the real thing. Lupa focuses on the interconnected ecosystem of totems: plants, fungi, minerals, waterways, landforms, and more. By approaching totems as beings we can give to, rather than take from, Lupa shows how you can make a difference in yourself and world when you connect with totems as part of your spiritual life.

As a kid, Lupa spent all her free time outdoors, turning over rocks, catching garter snakes, and learning the names of the trees. Today, Lupa is a neoshaman, artist and sustainability geek. She has been working with animal magic in various forms since the 1990s and has developed a self-created and spirit-directed neoshamanic path. She possesses a Master's degree in counseling psychology with an emphasis on ecopsychology. She is the author of Nature Spirituality From the Ground Up: Connect with Totems in Your Ecosystem. Lupa lives and creates in Portland, and you can visit her online at thegreenwolf.com.

Award-winning author and spiritual teacher Andrew Harvey joins me for a transformative conversation about spiritual activism. In his latest book, "Radical Passion," Andrew hopes to bridge the divide between spiritual resignation and engaged activism. Tune in to hear his call to engage deeply on a personal, spiritual, and political level so as to become a fully empowered, fully active, and contemplative humanity that can turn tragedy into grace, and desolation into the opportunity to build and co-create a new world.

The author of more than two dozen books, Andrew Harvey began his study and practice of Hinduism in 1978 after meeting a succession of Indian saints and sages. He has studied with masters such as Thuksey Rinpoche and Father Bede Griffiths for more than 30 years. Harvey was awarded the Christmas Humphrey prize for A Journey in Ladakh, the Humanities Team Award (an award previously received by Desmond Tutu ) for his 2010 body of work, and a Nautilus Award forThe Hope. He is founder and director of the Institute of Sacred Activism.

After two decades working in palliative care, Stephen Jenkinson came to an astonishing conclusion: as a culture and a species, we are utterly unprepared to embrace death and the grief that comes with it. We avoid confronting it at all costs. In his new book, Die Wise, he shares dozens of detailed and intimate stories from his experiences working with the dying and their families, illustrating both the pitfalls of denial and the bounty that can come when we face the end of life openly. Dying well, he believes, is a moral, political, and spiritual obligation each person owes their ancestors and their heirs. Stephen believes that learning to love death is one of the most direct ways to love life.
