The Celtics with John Philip Newell

In this episode, we feature a Celtic teacher and spiritual author to help you learn how to reawaken your inner nature and heal the psychological wounds of empirical religion that still haunt your unconscious.
John Philip Newell's most recent work is entitled, "Sacred Earth, Sacred Soul: Celtic Wisdom for Reawakening to What Our Souls Know and Healing the World".
In the book, he explores Celtic leaders who were seen as heretics by the Church and excommunicated for their beliefs. We talk about why Christian empires across history have fought hard to silence visionaries and the open-minded world views they deemed punishable.
Find out why ancient Celtic wisdom is a timeless tradition and how you can use it to shape a better world in the 21st century, even as an atheist.
