Linda “Moonrabbit” Zlotnik joins the Spiritual Forum to discuss how astrology can help people navigate grief and find perspective after loss. As a veteran astrologist, her exploration of death charts began after the death of her twin. Moonrabbit defines a death chart as the date, place, and time of death mapped astrologically and related to the bereaved person’s birth chart. She has refined her death chart consultation through nearly two hundred sessions with grieving clients, helping them to release guilt, clarify questions, and mitigate grief associated with sudden loss. In this episode, she shares some of her client stories, and she and Rev. Carol also discuss what astrology is spiritually and why it doesn’t go against God, as some believe. 🎙️ Listen on Apple Podcasts & rate us to spread the light! – https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-spiritual-forum  ❤️ Support this mission: https://thespiritualforum.org/ 🌎✨ Join us at the Whole Planet Spirituality Retreat, where compassion for animals, care for the Earth, and spiritual growth come together in one unforgettable experience.

Why is the command to "love your enemies" so important? Author and TEDx speaker Gissele Tarraba explores this question, reminding us that what we’ve been doing up to this point (regarding the perpetrator-victim relationship) has not been working and bringing us real-life stories of unthinkable forgiveness. She is in the process of creating a docu-series featuring such stories to show the world the transformative power of love. Gissele discusses her journey from child welfare director to compassion advocate, and she and Rev. Carol share the unexpected challenges one experiences when following the call to higher work.

What happens after death? What happens before birth? Life Between Lives facilitator and author David Allen, trained by the legendary Michael Newton, joins us to answer these questions and share the process of uncovering our soul path through past life regression. David started doing past life regression in 2005. Through his work where he chronicles regression sessions, he can assure us that we are not alone and that there is more to life and also more to death than we think.   Bio- David Allen is a long-established Life Between Lives facilitator, initially trained in the UK in 2005 by the last training team to be led by the legendary Michael Newton. He has, for many years, guided people through these incredible experiences.

Nearly all faith traditions have narratives around end times and many people believe we are passing through a cycle of death and rebirth now. William Wildblood, author of A Survival Guide to the End Times, joins us to explore what end times are (hint: it’s not the end of the world!) and how we can navigate through them. He asserts that we’ve lost track of what we are, why we are here, and where we should be going, thus precipitating the rise of materiality/extremism/transhumanism, the collapsing spiritual integrity of institutions, the inversion of truth, and the prominence of false spirituality. But every end brings a new beginning and William shares why this is hugely positive for humanity. He also reveals steps we can each take during these times of massive change to build our inner sanctuary and restore our innate nature. 🎙️ Listen on Apple Podcasts & rate us to spread the light! – https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-spiritual-forum  ❤️ Support this mission: https://thespiritualforum.org/ 🌎✨ Join us at the Whole Planet Spirituality Retreat, where compassion for animals, care for the Earth, and spiritual growth come together in one unforgettable experience.

Kameron Waters joins the Spiritual Forum to discuss his journey from hunter/fisherman steeped in Bible Belt Christianity to co-creator of the documentary Christspiracy (aka What Would Jesus Do?). He describes how a Daniel fast and intense study of the Bible sparked questions about food, animal souls, and the deeper message of Jesus. He discusses contested scriptures such as Genesis 9 and makes the case that Jesus opposed animal sacrifice and embodied nonviolence toward all creatures - not as a standalone message, but as a key component of human salvation and the restoration of God's Kingdom.

There’s no better time to have a conversation about it.

Cheryl Wilder joins the Spiritual Forum to share her decades-long reckoning after a drunk driving crash at age 20 that left her friend permanently brain-injured. She describes how shame (“I am wrong”) shaped her life and how her refusal to run from accountability ultimately led her on a healing journey that included mindfulness, Taoist teachings, journaling and poetry writing – all of which led her toward moral repair and self-forgiveness. Near the end, Cheryl shares her current involvement in civic bridge-building and introduces the concept of moral injury -- the psychological, emotional, and spiritual distress that occurs when a person commits, witnesses, or fails to prevent acts that violate their core moral beliefs. Cheryl’s story is riveting and whether we know it or not, her process of healing her moral injury applies to all of us.   Bio: Cheryl Wilder’s decades-long reckoning with the decision to drive drunk, which left her friend and passenger severely and permanently injured, taught her that self-forgiveness must lead to genuine moral repair. As a poet, Cheryl uses the personal lyric to “translate” her reckoning into language, an active taking-hold of her emotional life. Her collection, Anything That Happens (Press 53), is an acute examination of shame in the aftermath of the crash. Its companion collection, Singing Riptide (Press 53), supported by the North Caroling Arts Council, is her journey from all-consuming shame to self-realization and belonging. She received residency at SAFTA for her nonfiction work-in-progress about the experience. Leading with her lessons from shame to self-forgiveness, whether through her work as an author, coach, and speaker, or her role as a community leader, Cheryl is committed to cultivating healthy community interconnectedness by helping individuals nurture their awareness, introspection, and accountability. Trained by The Harwood Institute for Public Innovation, Cheryl is an arts and culture leader in the community-led initiative For Alamance, inspiring her to “translate” collective crises into language that explores moral injury and the need for mass forgiveness. 🎙️ Listen on Apple Podcasts & rate us to spread the light! – https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-spiritual-forum ❤️ Support this mission: https://thespiritualforum.org/ 🌎✨ Join us at the Whole Planet Spirituality Retreat, where compassion for animals, care for the Earth, and spiritual growth come together in one unforgettable experience.

Former physician Dr. Richard Moss joins us to discuss becoming radically alive through embodied presence and conscious relationship. Moss recounts three spontaneous awakenings, including an incredible in-flight experience that instantly ended his PTSD, which led him to pursue his consciousness work. He introduces his “Mandala of Being” framework, which outlines the four ways we continually leave the present, and invites us to return to the now, asking, “What does love want right now? He and Rev.

Registration Link -  http://thespiritualforum.org/retreat Bio - Dr. Richard Moss is an internationally respected teacher, author, and former physician whose work has helped shape the contemporary field of inner transformation, embodied presence, and conscious relationship. In 1977, while practicing medicine, he underwent a spontaneous spiritual illumination that radically changed his understanding of consciousness, healing, and the roots of human suffering. Since then, through retreats, mentoring, and seven books—including The Black Butterfly: An Invitation to Radical Aliveness and The Mandala of Being: Discovering the Power of Awareness—he has guided people to recognize how identification with thought, fear, and emotional reactivity separates them from the immediacy of life. His teaching joins psychological insight, spiritual awakening, subtle body awareness, and the path of love, offering practical ways to meet pain, conflict, and uncertainty with presence, compassion, and a deeper trust in being. At the heart of his work is the invitation to become more fully alive: to return from the stories of the mind to the living intelligence of the body, the present moment, and the mystery of relationship itself. #SpiritualAwakening #Consciousness #SelfHealing #Mindfulness #InnerPeace #PersonalGrowth #SpiritualGrowth #Awareness #HealingJourney #Presence #HigherConsciousness #SelfDiscovery #AwakenYourSoul #LifeTransformation #PodcastClips

This conversation centers on his video “What About Animals?” where we learn about the divinely designed cycle of love and service between humans and animals.
