Milbre Burch, an award-winning, Grammy-nominated storyteller and playwright, shares three of her stories and ruminates with Kristin on her dramatic art. With listening at its core, we discuss the relationship and spiritual presence that occurs when skilled teller and audience come together. Milbre says, "We don't give up our story until we've been given a better one," as she offers stories of reconciliation, peace, and justice.

Join Kristin and her special guest Timothy Wallace-Murphy, author of 13 books and scholar of medieval history and the bloodline of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. A fascinating romp of recent scholarship that turns what we know as Christianity on its side. Links the teachings of Jesus to Egypt and the gnostic Essenes, and introduces Mary Magdalene as "The Black Madonna."

On the same day that Mirabai’s first book arrived, policemen also arrived at her door with the heart-shattering news that her young daughter had died. Ironically, the book was a translation of Dark Night of the Soul by St. John of the Cross. Based on her new memoir Caravan of No Despair, Mirabai shares how she moved through the annihilating fire of grief into the complete unknown—when all spiritual practices had dried up—and back to the hearth of love.
