Awaken Heart of Humanity

Mitch Jezzerich's reporting spans throughout unexplored realms of the intelligentsia, from the readings of Gilgamesh to classical Greek History, from the lives of great American writers to largely unknown women who fought for civil rights. Most recently he is delving into environmental issues and spirituality. Mitch is able to conduct a warm yet rigorous and restrained interview, thereby helping break wide open the hearts of his listeners, such that we move beyond mere conventionally-written history or beyond even that of the Intellect to greater knowing, perceiving, intentionality and awareness.
Thank you
