When you think about spirituality, does an image of a cloistered monk chanting on top of some mountain in Tibet come to mind? Well, peace & blessings if your spiritual path takes you in this direction, but the rest of us have mortgages, relationships, day jobs and traffic to contend with!  Rather than throw in the towel and decide that spirituality and modern day living are forever irreconcilable, "Everyday Divinity" comes to rescue as a grounded and distinctive forum where listeners can receive guidance on how the sacred can successfully mesh with various aspects of daily living.

Host Dr. Idara E. Bassey will be interviewing private individuals and practitioners from all walks of life and spiritual traditions to empower and inspire listeners to incorporate a more spiritual (holistic) perspective in their everyday lives.  Join us every 2nd & 4th Thursday at 9pm EST as we "help people find grace in the daily race!"

Bassey, J.D., LL.M., Mc.D., is an attorney, spiritual coach  and professional intuitive.  She is passionate about helping people improve their personal and professional lives by incorporating spiritual practices and I have written extensively on the topic.

She holds a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology, with extensive post-graduate training in Jungian analysis, is a Certified Professional Midwife, and has enjoyed successful careers in both fields. She is the mother of four grown children and currently lives in Dolores, Colorado, where she directs The Peace Temple Initiative – an organization working to build an interfaith peace temple and retreat center for peace workers from around the world. She is a nationally known speaker and lectures in a different city nearly every weekend of the year.  She has also been a featured guest on several radio broadcast programs, including Wisconsin Public Radio’s At Issue with Ben Merens, Contact Radio in Seattle, and Seeing Beyond in San Francisco. Jim Lewis, author of The Oxford Handbook of New Religions, as well as 11 other works, and leading scholar internationally on new religious movements, is currently writing a scholarly book about the Order that Mother Clare co-directs.

Mother Clare has found recent acclaim as the author of the book, Giving Birth to God: A Woman's Path to Enlightenment. This moving account of her life tells of her journey through yoga ashrams and Sufi training schools to find a mystical Christian spiritual school with Master Teachers. Wonderfully moving stories give an in-depth rendering of the inner spiritual path. As she writes in the book, “Each of us was created with the full potential to become masters over everything on Earth, not so that we might dominate the Earth, but so that we might bless it with consciousness.” For more information about Giving Birth to God, visit www.MotherClareWatts.com.
