In this episode of Rebel Spirit Radio, I speak with John Philip Newell, the former Warden of Iona Abbey in the Western Isles of Scotland, and author of over 15 books. We discuss his latest publication, "Sacred Earth, Sacred Soul: Celtic Wisdom for Reawakening to What Our Souls Know and Healing the World." Newell discusses the Sacred Feminine, the radicalism of Celtic teachings, re-thinking the concept of original sin, rewording the world, and a panentheistic vision of God in which God flows through all things.

In this episode of the Rebel Spirit Radio podcast, I speak with Marguerite Rigoglioso, author of The Mystery Tradition of Miraculous Conception: Mary and the Lineage of Virgin Births. We discuss the immaculate conception of Mary, and the possibility that Mary was part of a tradition of Hebrew priestesses extending back to the matriarch Sara, and how stories of miraculous births are foundational to the Hebrew tradition. Marguerite also discusses the value of exploring non-canonical texts and how her work restores agency to the figure of Mary.

In this episode of Rebel Spirit Radio, I speak with Stéphane Allix, founder of the Research Institute of Extraordinary Experiences in France and author of "When I Was Someone Else: The Incredible True Story of Past Life Connection." Stéphane discusses his journey from a war correspondent and reporter to researching the science of consciousness. He discusses his book which tells the amazing, true story of an investigation prompted by a waking dream he had while on a spiritual retreat in Peru that would eventually reveal a past life connection with a German soldier.

In this episode, I speak with Dr. Sharonn Coggan, recently retired professor and founder of the Religious Studies program at the University of Colorado, Denver, and author of Sacred Disobedience A Jungian Analysis of the Saga of Pan and the Devil. In our discussion, Sharon introduces us to the Greek God Pan and the universe of meaning inherent in the archetypal complex of this ornery, rebellious and joyful nature god. She also discusses Jung’s theory of consciousness, with a special focus on the archetype of the shadow and the process of individuation as demonstrated in the hero's journey.

In this episode, I speak with Dr. Andy Rotman, professor in the Religion Department and Buddhist Studies program at Smith College in Massachusetts where he teaches a course on "spiritual but not religious," one of the fastest-growing demographics in the United States. In our discussion, we talk about who identifies as spiritual but not religious, what it might mean, but also some of the key themes driving what Andy refers to as a "movement of discontent" including economic, racial, social, and environmental justice.

Nick Mather, Ph.D.

Greetings! I'm Dr. Nick Mather, host of Rebel Spirit Radio. I have been studying philosophy and religion for over 25 years. I have a B.A. in Philosophy, an M.A. in Religious Studies, and Ph.D. in Philosophy and Religion. Before starting on this journey, I worked as a writer for a small family-owned newspaper in a little mountain town in the foothills of Pike's Peak. I decided to create Rebel Spirit Radio so I could utilize my background in journalism and breadth of knowledge in the world's wisdom traditions to bring you credible information and engaging conversations with writers, artists, educators, and spiritual leaders to help nurture your rebel spirit.

Nick Mather, Ph.D.
