    Wellness Coach Edie Summers, host of the Blog Talk Radio show The Wellness Coach, makes a spontaneous appearance later in the show to talk with Susan about this important topic.
    Read Susan's latest blog entry on the topic here, an editorial including links to the original report on the study in the New England Journal of Medicine and to numerous news stories:

  • Spiritual Emergence Pioneer Paul Levy: Awaken in the Dream
    Spiritual emergence pioneer and acclaimed author Paul Levy will share insights about the dream-like nature of the reality we are co-creating and co-dreaming together.   Paul experienced a dramatic spiritual emergence in 1981, leading him to break the shackles of traumatic misdiagnosis to launch a journey into the higher aspects of mystical experience.
    A Tibetan Buddhist practitioner for over 30 years and a wounded healer in private practice, Paul now leads "Awakening in the Dream" groups where people integrate non-ordinary experiences and collaboratively assist each other to awaken in the dream together.
    Paul is the author of "Wetiko: The Greatest Epidemic Sickness Known to Humanity" and "The Madness of George W. Bush: A Reflection of Our Collective Psychosis".
    Paul has discussed spiritual emergence in multiple forums, including appearing recently on Coast to Coast AM.  His exploration of spiritual experiences years ago led him to manage the C.G. Jung Foundation Book Service in New York.

  • Right to Choose or Right to Life? An Honest Discussion
    Instead of eluding honest discussion of what is perceived by many as a woman's right to choose versus what is perceived by many as a baby's right to life, Portland Christians with Questions founder Su Elliott returns to the show to respectfully explore the complexities of this issue with host Susan Larison Danz. 
    Instead of propagating false caricatures of people with differing viewpoints (which unfortunately happens far too often on ALL sides of this issue), Susan and Su openly discuss their thoughts on why and how there are such intensely divergent, sincere opinions on such a pivotal topic, as well as honestly explore the personal ambiguity and anguish surrounding its exploration.
    Comments on the show page are welcome.  Visit http://www.frontierbeyondfear.com for more honest dialogues of this nature, including previous shows in which Susan and Su have discussed challenging topics.

  • In Case of Spiritual Emergency: Author Catherine G. Lucas
    The courageous & inspiring author of the groundbreaking book "In Case of Spiritual Emergency: Moving Successfully Through Your Awakening", UK Spiritual Crisis Network founder Catherine G. Lucas shares important information to assist those experiencing dramatic spiritual emergencies/emergences.
    Spiritual emergencies are frequently misinterpreted and misdiagnosed, yet have unique spiritual components, often triggered by dramatic events.  It was Catherine's own emergence experiences that led her to research the true nature of these unique crisis situations. 
    As a mindfulness coach, Catherine has developed concrete tools to keep mystical experiences from spiraling out of control, circumventing dangerous mazes of dysfunction and misdiagnosis.  Catherine has also partnered with the mental health establishment in England, as more and more people involved with crisis intervention are learning to recognize the unique nature of spiritual events.
    Host Susan Larison Danz experienced a time of dramatic spiritual emergence many years ago.  Like many others who have navigated through the challenges of such life-altering experiences, Susan and Catherine have discovered the tremendous gifts spiritual emergences carry, despite literally traveling through the rapids in the process.
