In this episode we once again have on friend of the show, Mary Kay Ryan... anthropologist, Chinese Medical doctor, Shamanic practitioner and teacher, mother and friend to many. She and Eric ask Why are people in general and spiritually inclined people specifically, so reticent or downright unwilling to talk about spirits and ghosts? How did Spirits get taken out of spirituality?

2. How do we and/or different cultures feel about what happens after death and how does that affect our thoughts/feelings about ghosts and the dead?

3. What do we think Spirits are?

4. Why is Halloween associated with Ghosts and Spirits?

This was recorded just before Halloween so allow yourself to be transported to that time of the year when the Spirits are beginning to flow as the leaves turn and we bring our attention and energy inwards after the exuberance of the summer.
