Heart Beat- internet radio with a pulse. Conversations with individuals who live and lead with their heart.

Join me in conversation with Jean Houston, Ph.D. as we kick off the new series on Heart Beat, inspired by my own upcoming wedding, Beyond “I Do”: Getting Married Consciously. This series will go deep into the significance of what it means to experience weddings as a rite of passage while examining the history, ceremony and psychology involved beyond just choosing cakes, dresses and bridesmaids. I will engage in conversations with world renown scholars, psychologists, bestselling authors, ritualists and thought leaders to understand the significance behind what many call the ‘most anticipated and memorable event of one’s life’. This week, we are fortunate to have with us Dr. Jean Houston, scholar, philosopher and researcher in Human Capacities, one of the foremost visionary thinkers and doers of our time. We will be exploring as she explains it "Ceremony as a Gateway to the Mystery" as it relates to weddings. Please join us and tell your friends. Engage with us through the chat room and by calling in.
