Here psychiatrist and author Bolen speaks of her archetypal pilgrimages to Chartres, Glastonbury, Ireland, Greece and India. What emerges is a heartfelt and timely tale of seeking out sacred sites and returning to our spiritual roots. She describes her meeting with the Dalai Lama, which serves as a re-connection with wisdom and playfulness. The magic and mystery of sacred places and their power and energy for transformation, as well as the Earth as healer, provide the central themes for this dialogue. (hosted by Michael Toms)
