 We are often at war with our bodies - diets, exercise, the unwanted judgements of others. How can we make peace and be satisfied with the only bodies we will ever have. Support the Show.

Gender and the Divine. He/She/It/Them/They? God as mother, the earth as mother, trans-gendering as a function of non-duality? Hear a new take on Mother's Day.Support the Show.

 We have to make peace with everything in our lives. It is an active, ongoing task. Peace with our minds, with our bodies, with our circumstances. Only then can we be at peace. But how do we do it? Support the Show.

 Heather leads us in an exploration of how to carry ourselves in time of trouble. As Etty Hillesum did as she made her way to die in Auschwitz in 1943. Support the Show.

 The idea of ‘Peace in our Time’ has become synonymous with the failure to achieve it. The image of Neville Chamberlain waving a piece of paper signed by Adolph Hitler has gone down in history as both a humiliation and a warning against appeasement. And yet surely ‘Peace in our time’ is our goal. Our goal is to be able to look back on war in the same way that we now look back on slavery. With an understanding that it was wrong, that there are still instances of it today. But for most of us the arguments for or against it have been confined to the dustbin of history. That is how we should be looking at war. And yet here we are today with over 30 armed conflicts between nations going on around the world. And people thinking that it is OK to send missiles and bombs halfway around the world to settle scores. There has to be a better way. And what can we do to stop it? Support the Show.

 What are the stages that lead to inner Peace? How can we measure our path to those stages? We look at how meditation can act as a mirror to life and show us how to arrive at a more peaceful place in our everyday life. Support the show

 Why do we say of people who have died - Rest In Peace? What about now? How do we rest in peace in a life that is fraught with problems? Is there an answer to this? Support the show

Following Cynthia Bougeault's visit we look at the breakdown of the 'rational' stage of consciousness around the world. What are the implications? What can take it's place?Support the show

 Following on from Cynthia Boureault's visit, we look further at that quote on chaos from Thomas Keating and also what it means to 'Be at Peace'. Is 'Being" a noun or a verb? More information at aspenchapel.org Support the show
