Our first Interview with Stephen Gray

This will be another live interview with weekly host Trevahr Hughes and author Stephen Gray. A message about Stephen's work and the content of our episode: "We hear a lot these days about the year 2012 and all manner of possible disasters and upheavals associated with this rapidly approaching date. But whether or not the human enterprise and the planet itself are careening toward imminent catastrophe, it’s become clear to many of us that the trajectory of the dominant worldview is unsustainable and has reached a time of crisis. A compelling case can be made that a widespread consciousness transformation is urgently needed if we’re going to survive and thrive. With deep connections to several powerful healing/awakening traditions, including Tibetan Buddhism, the Native American Church, and Amazonian ayahuasca shamanism, author, teacher, and musician Stephen Gray is uniquely positioned to share this life-saving vision. Stephen’s new book, Returning to Sacred World: A Spiritual Toolkit for the Emerging Reality, eloquently clarifies our spiritual predicament and offers extensively ‘field-tested’ teachings and tools for healing and awakening. These include: the universal practice of mindfulness/awareness meditation; prayer—especially as it's understood in the indigenous cosmos; and the ceremonial use of several visionary/teaching/healing plant medicines."
