Compassion as Spiritual Practice with Pria Acharya - EP 329
Author and filmmaker Pria Acharya shares how a personal turning point shattered old, generational conditioning and opened her to a deeper truth. From discovering the hidden realities behind the dairy industry to the story of a calf who forever changed her heart, Pria invites us as spiritual journeyers to question what we’ve been taught, who we want to be, and how far our compassion extends. We explore how comforting myths distort truth, the grief that comes with awakening, the simplicity and holiness of the mother-baby connection, and the courage it takes to walk away from herd mentality. There’s no blame or shame here, only an invitation to look behind the curtain as we awaken together and walk each other home. ✍ Amazon Link to buy Pria Acharya’s book : https://www.amazon.com/Go-Vegan-Mindfully-Barriers-Breakthroughs-ebook/dp/B0FMKPBRF1?ref_=ast_author_mpb 🎙️ Listen on Apple Podcasts & rate us to spread the light! - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-spiritual-forum/id1357984858 📍 Join our upcoming retreat at Unity Village: https://thespiritualforum.org/retreat ❤️ Support this mission: https://thespiritualforum.org/ Bio - Pria Acharya, MBA, is a certified mindfulness teacher, filmmaker, narcissistic abuse recovery coach, storyteller, activist, gardener, and vegan cook.

Staying Human & Facing Death with Dr. Brad Stuart - EP 327
What if death isn’t the end, but a doorway to discovering who we truly are? Dr. Brad Stuart—physician, innovator, and author—takes us from the halls of Stanford Medical School to the mysteries and stark realities of end-of-life care. He discusses what’s missing in medical training, the challenges that doctors face to stay human in the current profit-centered medical paradigm, and the healing that happens to both doctor and patient through compassion and listening. Along the way, we uncover near-death experiences, visions at the bedside, and the surprising role of psychedelics in easing our fear of dying. Brad’s message is whether we start now or let death do it for us, letting go is the ultimate practice we all face. This is about more than death—it’s about awakening to your true self and perhaps having hope for the future of medicine and healthcare. 🔗 Connect with Dr. Brad at : https://bradstuartmd.com/ ✍ Amazon Link to buy Dr. Brad’s book : https://www.amazon.com/Facing-Death-Spirituality-Science-Surrender/dp/1954920652/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1689378567&sr=8-1 🎙️ Listen on Apple Podcasts & rate us to spread the light! - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-spiritual-forum/id1357984858 📍 Join our upcoming retreat at Unity Village: https://thespiritualforum.org/retreat ❤️ Support this mission: https://thespiritualforum.org/ Bio - Brad Stuart, MD is a physician specializing in end-of-life care, a healthcare system innovator, and an author and international speaker.

Meditation, Media & Vegan Spirituality with Thomas Radzienda - EP 324
In the late 1980’s, Thomas Radzienda awakened to the truth that no matter who our political leaders were, we still bombed people. He consequently left his corporate job and traveled the world seeking understanding, universal compassion, non-violent living, and simplicity before eventually settling in Thailand as a teacher and healer. In this conversation, Thomas shares how veganism and spirituality connect and how our culturally accepted masking of animal suffering damages our spirits. We also discuss the effect of media on our minds and how meditation restores clarity. Thomas seeks to inspire spiritual non-vegans to try plant-based living and non-spiritual vegans to pursue the spiritual path. Offering practical steps to transform mind, body and spirit, his approach is gentle, incremental, and encouraging for everyone.

Somatic Experiencing and Family Constellation Healing with Euphrasia Joseph Nyaki - EP 322
Tanzanian-born healer Euphrasia “Efu” Nyaki shares her incredible journey from ancestral rituals and herbal medicines to joining the Maryknoll sisters and founding a women’s healing center in Brazil. She discusses the healing modalities of Somatic Experiencing and Family Constellation Therapy and how they can help people quickly release trauma stored in the body. Through powerful real-life cases, Efu reveals how inherited trauma from ancestors can silently shape our lives and how honoring the ”Orders of Love”—hierarchy, belonging, and balance—restores peace. She also explains how excluding miscarried or aborted babies can lead to depression in surviving siblings, and why honoring the life given to us by our parents, regardless of their faults, reconnects us to the natural flow of life. Are you feeling blocked, disconnected or stuck? Efu’s message is clear: healing is simple, natural, and your birthright.
