Minister, Teacher Speaker, Writer and Author, Barbara Symons, returns to Re-Awakening Minds for a record 4th visit.

They will also delve into Barbara's groundbreaking book, "Escaping Christianity, Finding Christ." Barbara Symons is an ordained minister and tireless spiritual seeker whose experience in Christian fundamentalism spans her lifetime beginning at five years of age.

Having spent 43 years in the religious system, Barbara has keen insight and writes of her personal journey through deprogramming. Always captivated by unusual phenomena, Barbara has a vast repertoire of spiritual and metaphysical experiences from which she draws. She is a lecturer, teacher and writer that brings light to the mysteries found within the historical stories of the Bible and beyond. Barbara has recently added handcrafting beautiful crystal jewelery to her growing list of abilities.
