Dementia and Journaling~ A conversation with Don Cramer
Don and Whitney had experienced many years of a deep, warm, and joyful Love. Then, in her fifties, Whitney began to show the signs of Dementia. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, which worsened over the next 10 years. Don’s life readily shifted from that of a loving husband to that of a loving caregiver, as their plans for financial comfort and retirement flew out the window.
Instead of trying to afford the unaffordable fee of more than $10,000 a month for the 24-hour care Whitney needed, Don made the decision to have her live at a lovely Mexican institution, where the staff was as warm as the year-round bougainvillea, and the cost was less than one-third. Partway through, this saga Don decided to keep a journal – a loving, kind, honest, and revealing journal that is a must for those caring for a chronically ill relative – a blend of joy and happiness that also includes a very useful guide for caregivers.

In this lively exploration of this most important, central aspect of all our lives – once again noted author, public speaker, and personal coach (he is the one who mentored the fantabulous Tony Robbins), Jim Britt, spends some quality time with Dr. Miller. Jim is a regular visitor on “Conversations With Extraordinary People,” and each time their interaction is creative, entertaining, engaging, wise, and friendly.” This time they explore the tender, yet deep, passion of Love.
Each year we celebrate Valentine’s day, which is basically a holy day of our culture, that special time during which we honor that amazing state of euphoria and connection that so transforms us whenever we fall in love. We will speak of the ancient origin of this theme and its evolution from the spirit of St. Valentine to the special relationships we are forming in our lives.
We will examine such questions as, “What is this thing called love?” and “Why is it so important, this infatuated state that makes everything seem so beautiful, and how can we make that passion and openness to beauty an ongoing experience in all our lives?”
As you will learn, this is possible – and becomes more possible as we appreciate the importance of Presence and Connection.

Spiritual Lessons from a Life in Acting - A Conversation with Dee Wallace
Dr. Miller has for his guest on Conversations with Extraordinary People actress Dee Wallace. You are most familiar with her from her leading role in ET – The Extraterrestrial, although she has been featured prominently in many other movies such as The Howling, and has appeared in more than 100 television shows. What makes Dee extraordinary is that she is also an acting teacher who teaches in a unique way – purely from her intuition. She’s even written a book about it, Bright Light – Spiritual Lessons from A Life in Acting. In our interview you’ll learn some of her personal story, how she was born to a poverty-stricken family in Kansas, and how she spent many years of her childhood rescuing her mother and brother from her raging alcoholic father – until he finally committed suicide. You will learn the most important lesson she learned from this, and from her grandmother who taught her about Love. The principle of “I am” is one that has figured prominently for both Dr. Miller and to Dee, and their sharing and comparing notes may well help you gain more insight into who you truly are. The conversation will be a wide-ranging one, weaving from a discussion of the role of Love in creating success to the importance of presence in defeating negative emotional states. You will gain some tips about how it is that we give our power away, how we can move back into power, and the importance of intention.

Wake Up to Your Dreams: Transform Your Relationships, Career, and Health While You Sleep - a Conversation with Justina Lasley
“Our truest life is when we are in our dreams awake” – Henry David Thoreau
We usually think of our waking lives as the source of information becoming a truth, and guidance. And our dreams as flipped out distortions of our much more reasonable and important waking lives. As Justina Lasley shows us, our dreams can be the bridge to great wisdom. You will see from her personal story of how dreams awakened her from her rigid and limited lifestyle and transformed her life, how dreams can inform, enlighten, and guide us.

The Essence of Meditation and Spiritual Freedom – A Conversation with Ex–Carmelite Nun Kimberly Braun
I discovered Kimberly Braun while browsing through TED Talks. Although she was talking about a very practical approach to spirituality, it turns out that that she had spent 10 ½ years in a Carmelite monastery. I contacted her, and I am happy to share this most interesting, inspiring and stimulating conversation with you.
From the age of five, Kimberly had experienced herself on the receiving end of the many moments that she has come to call “unitive experiences,” where time it seemed to stop and the veils pulled back revealing the deeper essence of the moment. These experiences continued, and they led to her to ask deeper questions, and eventually to become a nun. Although she loved the utter simplicity of life there, she soon found herself called to become a general contractor (with no prior training) and to construct a multimillion dollar stone monastery.
Together we explore the changes she went through, and how they have finally led her to become a spiritual guide and meditation teacher. Then we discuss the similarities and the contrasts between her approaches and the ones that I teach, how meditation can bring us into a presence –and a oneness that ceases to identify, compare, or name “what we are,” and how it can help us transform our lives and the world.

Societal Lies, Spiritual Abuse, And Why Dads Leave – A Conversation With Dr. Jack Travis
Solid relationships and successful marriages are the backbone of a society, yet the rate of divorce continues to be breathtaking. You might think that the arrival of a child would help couples focus their energy, but instead relationships often become even more unstable. The reasons behind these tragedies are important to understand, since they are symptoms of a troubling phenomenon that is an issue for all of us. Jack Travis has made this a focus of his work and has co-authored a book on the subject.

Anthropologist, Activist, a Wild Child of the Sixties and a Celibate Zen Priest~ A Conversation with Joan Halifax
“Our daily lives are the vehicles for awakening, for freeing ourselves and others from suffering.” Roshi Joan Halifax
Joan Halifax and I were a part of that rich broth of creativity and humanism that was exploring new dimensions of healing, personal growth, and spirituality at Esalen Institute back in the 1970s. Roshi Joan Halifax is an anthropologist and an activist, a wild child of the sixties and a celibate Zen priest. She is the founder, abbess, and head teacher of Upaya Zen Center, a Buddhist monastery in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She is best known for sitting at the bedside of terminally ill patients and pioneering a form of contemplative care, known as the Being With Dying project, now in its seventeenth year. One of her core messages is “Strong Back, Soft Front”, a concept she will share with us during this hour.
We will examine the similarities and the differences between empathy and compassion, and why the Dalai Lama has said that love and compassion are not luxuries, that actually they are necessities, if human life is to survive on this planet. Roshi Joan will also share with us the essence of the GRACE process and other insights on developing our ability to experience both the power and the vulnerability of compassion.
Joan was born in 1942. At age four a serious virus caused her to go legally blind, from which she recovered two years later. Central to her recovery was the care of a black woman who was the daughter of slaves. You will learn the incredible gifts she received through the loving, selfless, humble, soulful care rendered by this woman, and how being blind taught her so much about the inner life.
She went on to become a civil rights activist and a protester against the Viet Nam war, then went on to receive her Ph.D in medical anthropology and psychology. She went to Mali, where she studied and learned from the indigenous Dogon tribe, and to Mexico, where she studied the Huichol Indians.
Don’t miss the wise words and the indomitable spirit of this wise woman!

A Conversation with Elisa Parker ‘See Jane Do’
This year’s theme for International Women’s Day is “Inspiring Change,” and in keeping with that, today’s guest is a superhero when it comes to inspiring women to discover their personal purpose and passion, and to bring that passion into action in the world. Elisa Parker is the co-founder, president & host of the award winning radio program, See Jane Do, and where she shares her wisdom, experience, and guidance serving women, social justice, and the environment.
In today’s episode we explore some of the roots of the enormous sexual inequality in our society, and how to change our story, personally and collectively, to transform our world. And transforming it desperately needs. Elisa will explain the media platform she has developed precisely to help awaken and support women through an online magazine, her weekly radio show on KVMR, the Passion Into Action Conference, and more.
Elisa also shares with us her own story, and the deeply moving passion that awakened her to her purpose. With degrees in Communications and Organizational Development, she is ideally prepared to serve this purpose, which takes her around the world to discover and share the extraordinary stories & solutions in each of us.
As you will learn, until a few thousand years ago the essential wisdom of the feminine was the central organizing principle of essentially all communities and cultures. The invention of powerful weapons made it possible for man to create a new kind of culture, one built on domination and subjugation. Now instead of honoring the needs of the earth and the balance of life, armed hoards could invade, steal food, rape, and enslave. The era of the sky gods and the masculine/dominant paradigm had begun. The resulting destruction of the planet and its peoples is obvious, from the killing fields of Syria to the sex slaves in San Francisco.
The world is changing faster than ever before, and we are reaching a crisis point. The complexion of our nation is changing, and the Old Paradigm is crashing. The best future is one that is informed and guided by the wisdom that women can bring out of the shadows and into the open – the wisdom of Love, nurturance, conversation, and peace. Bring it on!
