    We stopped by the Phoenix Nest Center in Chico to speak with our recent Religious Studies graduate Alexandra Kriz about her fascinating work promoting healing through non-traditional therapies. The Phoenix Nest is the first center in Chico to use Ketamine, a commonly used anesthetic that in certain doses leads to psychedelic experiences that have helped many people to work through the most difficult mental health challenges that they face. Alex talks about the history of this kind of treatment, the scientific support for its efficacy, her own spiritual journey and the importance of opening oneself to new possibilities.

    Dr. Jason Clower talks with us about the key role of Fire in the Vedic rituals and imagery of Ancient India and we examine how Buddhists refigured that central metaphor. We then think about the role of Fire in China and look at the tradition of self-immolation that has been part of Buddhist practice in the region for some time, culminating with the Monks who have burned themselves in Tibet recently to protest Chinese policies there.

    Season 3 #2: Najm al-Din Yousefi on Afghanistan

    In August 2021, the United States left Afghanistan after twenty years of conflict and nation building only to see the fledgling democracy fall into the hands of the Taliban. I look in detail at this geo-political conflagration with Dr. Yousefi and examine the roots of Islamism and its effects on the shape of the modern Islamic world. We also delve into the history of Afghanistan, the complicated ethnic makeup of the region, and the mistakes that have been made by the occupying powers over the years.
