Peace Prevails On Earth with Michael Lindfield and Mandy Kahn

Awakening Code Radio

In this show, we celebrate the synchronicity that this episode was recorded on the International Day of Peace. Fittingly, we were honored to speak with two people who are each holding a beautiful vision of how peace can grow out of this global moment of polarity and division. In the first half hour we talk with Michael Lindfield, board member of Meditation Mount in Ojai, CA. In the second half of the show, we hear from peace advocate and poet Mandy Kahn, who reads from one of her recent works.
