When Loss Leads to Transformation with Mirabai Starr

Aired Sunday, 29 May 2016, 9:00 PM ET

Have you ever noticed how a moment of profound loss can change everything in a person’s life?

Maybe you have personally experienced the death of a loved one, a serious health diagnosis, or the loss of a job, a community, or a way of life. Radical change can uproot our lives, shatter our foundation, and can also open us to vast new inner landscapes that we never knew existed.

Join Sylvia and her wonderful guest Mirabai Starr and hear Mirabai’s remarkable story of how her spiritual journey began the day her daughter died.
