One trait all of these programs share is a focus on spirituality. While no one dogma is advocated, a regular practice of prayer and meditation is encouraged. In The Twelve Step Buddhist, Darren Littlejohn explores the relationship between each steps and modern Buddhism while providing a model for recovering addicts who want to take a Eastern approach to their twelve-step recovery. In this interview Darren shares some insights as to how a recovering person might benefit from the teaching and practice of Buddhism in conjunction with their twelve-step work. <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: ri | 8/6/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Although Perry has written and taught almost exclusively on A Course in Miracles in the past, this new book speaks to a more universal audience. According to Perry, each of us is receiving guidance all the time, but without knowing what to look for, those signs often go unnoticed. In Signs he outlines his model for recognizing these messages and offers insight into using them to guide our lives. <a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObject | 7/23/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanNative American Spirituality and the Environment | Derek Hitchcock studied Ecology at UC Berkeley and has worked on environmental projects around the world. In the past few years he has returned to Northern California where he is working to restore one of the world’s most beautiful natural resources--the Yuba River. Beyond approaching the restoration of this river in a scientific way, Derek and colleagues at the South Yuba River Citizen’s League (SYRCL, pronounced “circle”) are working with the local Native American Tribe, the Tsi-Akim Maidu, to approach the ecological crisis in a more foundational way by focusing on healing; healing the relationship between the cultures and the obviously fractured relationship between humans and the rest of the natural world. SYRCL and the Tsi-Akim Maidu are inviting people to the Yuba River to experience its beauty and to witness the magic of one of nature’s most amazing phenomena—the life cycle of the Salmon. By forming this unlikely relationship with the native tribes, the salmon and the river itself, Derek is a part of discovered new ways for us to heal our planet that extend far beyond the banks of the Yuba River.

CleanThe Prodigal Yogi-Part 2 | Although yoga was developed in ancient India and has been practiced largely by Hindus and Buddhists, it is not a religion in and of itself. In fact it is a mystical path that can be practiced by people of any faith. Many westerners have noted that the principles of yoga are very similar to the teachings of Jesus, and many Christians have come to discover that rather than replace their faith, practicing yoga deeply enhances their beliefs. In this Darren explores the similarities between the life and teachings of Jesus and yoga and examines just how complementary these two paths can be and how reading the Gospels in the light of Eastern philosophy can add new dimensions to our understanding of Jesus and his message of compassion, forgiveness and charity.

She has started a drive with the help of her husband, her church and thousands of people all around the United States to send as much of Silly String as she can to Iraq. Her story is touching and beautiful, and it reminds us all that the smallest gift can make the biggest difference. Resources Marcell is looking for the names of soldiers in Iraq to whom she can send care packages of Silly String. Please email her if you know someone.

This highly controversial film makes some wild assertions that fly in the face of common beliefs about that tragic day. The filmmakers use live news footage, reports from mainstream news sources, and interviews with so-called experts to suggest that: •A missile, not a commercial jet, hit the Pentagon. •Non-commercial planes hit the World Trade Center towers. •Explosives planted inside the trade center were what brought down the towers rather than burning jet fuel. •The plane that crashed in Pennsylvania did not really crash, but rather landed in Ohio. •Many of the 19 hijackers are still alive. •Members of the Bush Administration, not Al Qaida and Osama bin Laden were behind the attacks. Of course this is in stark contrast to the findings of the 9/11 commission report and, according to mainstream media reporting, is completely false. That said, I love a good conspiracy theory as much as Oliver Stone, so with me in this podcast is Jason Bermas, one of the producers of Loose Change, to discuss some of the controversial claims in the film.

CleanRoe v Wade Under Attack | On March 6, 2006 South Dakota Governor Mike Rounds signed into a law a bill that would ban all abortions in his state with the only exception being the life of the mother. This law directly conflicts with the 1973 Supreme Court Ruling known as Roe v Wade in which the high court said that states could not make abortion illegal in most circumstances. Even those who support the new South Dakota law don't believe it will go into effect any time soon. Rather, they are hoping it will be challenged legally and will make its way to the Supreme Court where they hope the now more conservative court will reverse the 1973 ruling. According to a recent Fox News/ Opinion Dynamics poll 59% of Americans oppose this law and only 35% support it. Here to help us determine the future of a woman's right to choose is Tim Mooney. He is a political lawyer from Washington DC and the host of the two very successful podcasts, Supreme Court Watch and Capital Caucus.

Interesting and socially aware
Darren is a generous spiritual guide who provides content which uplifts and educates. Thank you Darren for sharing your journey.
Insightful and Intelligent
I want to compliment Darren Main on his ability to provide beneficial information with insightful and intelligent questions. I've learned a lot more about politics, spirituality, health, people in general, and myself specifically. Plus, I've found some truly great music through Darren's podcasts and website. I sincerely appreciate his extra efforts to share his interests with others.
Yoga!! Yoga!! Yoga!!
This podcast is great for yoga students and practitioners! Many of the guests that Darren interviews are yoga teachers, and students with amazing healing stories. It is not asana practice, but gets to the deeper levels of living your yoga. Many of the interviews focus on yoga philosophy and spirituality. Darren himself is very authentic and genuine in every podcast. (I just wish the description up above highlighted YOGA a little more boldly. I found him through another yoga podcast.) Please keep up the great work, Darren!
