Sounds True – Insights at the Edge with Tami Simon

Dr. Gladys McGarey: Activating Our Life Force with Love (1:04)



At the ripe young age of 102, physician, author, and great-great-grandmother Dr. Gladys McGarey maintains an active consulting practice and in 2023 published her most recent book, The Well-Lived Life. Widely considered the mother of holistic medicine, Dr. Gladys is a cofounder of the American Holistic Medical Association who for more than 60 years has influenced the way we view health, healing, and self-care.



In this podcast, Tami Simon speaks with Dr. Gladys about her remarkable life—including where she finds “the juice” that fuels her ongoing accomplishments—sharing invaluable insights into keeping life alive as we grow older; offering our light to those who need it; the art of contacting the physician within the patient; coming back to health through “the trickle around the dam”; trusting your inner knowing; how everything in life is a teacher; love as the essence of healing; overcoming fear; the choice to be glad; the five Ls—life, love, laughter, labor, and listening—and how they intersect; reincarnation and karma; Dr. Gladys’s vision of “a village for living medicine”; and more.

Magical Mystery Tour with Tonio Epstein (via Pacifica affiliates unit from WGDR, Central VT Community Radio)

Experiences and Last Words at the Threshold of Dying - An Interview w Linguist Lisa Smart (:59)

In this interview with linguist and educator Lisa Smartt, author of Words At The Threshold - What We Say As We're Nearing Death, we talk about the strange, often paradoxical and intriguing language used by the dying to express what they are experiencing in the last moments of their lives. And the mysterious nature of death that they seem to be pointing to. We also talk about how to be present with our loved ones as they are dying and to listen with an open heart and an open mind to the often strange things they are saying. And that this is a wonderful opportunity to deeply connect with them in ways they may not have been possible before.

The Magical Mystery Tour is a show that dives into the heart of things exploring new ideas and new ways of seeing and being in this wondrous crazy world we share together. New shows are available weekly by Monday. Feel free to contact me at 802-229-5123 or tonio@together.net

ASTRO*ANARCHY & TAROT (:58)

Caroline welcome Sara Calvarese, astro anarchist ally, sharing enthusos for: “The US’ Pluto Return and the upcoming outer planet astrology (Pluto moving into Aquarius, Neptune moving into Aries, and Uranus moving into Gemini). And am always willing to have a good discussion about the 8th house.”



“…a South Philadelphia based author, illustrator, astrologer, tarot reader, and owner of The 8th House, a brick and mortar retail space. She left her career in chemistry and engineering in 2020 to pursue full time creative work. Her projects to date include: The 8th House Tarot: An Astrological Tarot Deck, Prism Tarot, Mundane Magick Tarot, Stories: A Collaborative Oracle Deck, and Magick (IRL), an interactive tarot and astrology book.” (Re-connected by her anarchist publishing house pm press….Send me more occult anarchists!)



It turns out I did a reading for Sara, 7-ish years ago, so all jolly – re-connecting. She says, ”You’re probably the single biggest influencer of my astrology practice, so I have a lot to thank you for! Your work is always on my “recommended reading/listening” list for folks.” Yip-Yip! Her Latest is “Turning Terrestrial Tides Tarot”



From PM Press – Sara Calvarese: “We’re in turbulent times. The US is experiencing its first Pluto Return, and Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are all set to move into new zodiac signs in the near future. The astrology suggests that we’re collectively standing on the precipice of a major shift here on Earth.” So, how do we use this astrological energy of change to our advantage? The 78 tarot archetypes invite us to self-reflect and entertain curiosity around designing our future within our larger communities. During these times of intense transformation, tarot can act as both a mirror and an anchor for personal empowerment, reminding us that we write our tomorrow. This DIY quality is reflected in the Turning Terrestrial Tides Tarot artwork. The travel-friendly, poker-sized deck was created in the approachable cut-and-paste collage style of 90s zines and includes the astrological linkages to each tarot archetype as well as words to reflect on, both on the cards and within the included mini guidebook.
