In this episode Hari Ram returns to the essential theme, which is the Long Dark Night of the Soul (LDNS). This episode serves as an introduction to a series of talks on this subject. 

Hari Ram uses two songs, "Dream Weaver" (Gary Wright, 1975) and "Amazing Grace" (Traditional) to highlight key criteria of the LDNS. He touches upon his own experience with chronic depression, many years ago, and the readiness to confront the 'shadow'. And how being consumed by the LDNS can feel as if trapped inside a long dark tunnel without any light visible, at the end. 

There is hope, however! Hope springs eternal, and Hari Ram never fails to bring light & laughter... even to the most morbid topics. Enjoy!

In this 2-part series, Hari Ram and Sat Kirtin had the immense pleasure of interviewing Sasha Stone.

Former rock musician and artist Sacha Stone grew up in Rhodesia-Zimbabwe throughout the war for independence. He established Humanitad in 1999, founded New Earth Project and the ITNJ International Tribunal for Natural Justice and has worked across both the NGO and IGO sectors as an outspoken advocate of human rights and natural justice. He has instigated peace initiatives and education programs, lobbied against human-rights abuses in different parts of the globe and continues to prosecute for the protection of vanguard innovators, scientists and doctors.

Here in part 2 of our interview, Sacha points to the emergence of profound ancient wisdom, for those who have "done the work"; for those who are fearless and committed to the path of awakening. He beckons us to avoid "dulling the pain", in order to pass through this collective death & rebirth process... with our eyes wide open. 

Oh! ~ what immaculate Grace awaits. ENJOY!

This episode is part two of a very important conversation focused around the topic of addiction.

In this episode, the discussion dives deeper into an examination of the mainstream Psychiatric approach towards treating mental health using medication, and debates the value of labelling symptoms as disorders. Sat Kirtin and Martha Mankowitz share about their personal experiences of having been both previously "diagnosed" and medicated.

The conversation continues into how all speakers eventually found their sovereignty and true healing through discovering holistic methods, such as Kundalini yoga and meditation.

We hope you find this episode both informative and inspiring.

In this episode, Hari Ram and Sat Kirtin are joined by their friend and colleague, Martha Mankowitz, to discuss a topic which they all have some experience with: addiction and recovery from it.

As such an important subject with so much that could be said about it, the discussion has been split into two parts.

Here in part 1, the focus is on the shadow aspects of addiction itself. All speakers share in depth about their own experiences with addiction and how it impacted them.

Along with personal story-telling, critical issues are highlighted, such as the flaws in the mainstream systemic approach of treating addiction and mental illness, and labels and reliance on medication in Psychiatry.

By talking openly about these heavy subjects, we intend to raise awareness and help people find healing.

Trigger warning: contains detailed conversation about eating disorders and drug usage
