The Adventure Toward The Sacred with Elizabeth Lesser

Just as America is the melting pot of race and culture, so too does it provide a fertile breeding ground of diverse spiritual and religious paths. Elizabeth Lesser performs the magic of synthesizing the rich blends of the world's wisdom traditions, focusing on our right to individual choice: "What's so American about what's going on today is a diverse richness - a cornucopia of spiritual paths to take." You'll hear touching stories about birth and death in this contemporary soulful discourse, and discover the range and possibilities of widening your spiritual landscape. (hosted by Michael Toms)
