Love to Heal: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Spirituality
Join me on a journey of self-discovery, healing and spiritual growth. In this podcast I share with you my personal journey that started with atheism, continued on to Buddhism, then New Age, and finally took me to Judaism and, as of 2025, gave rise to the new motto of the podcast: Ancient Knowledge for Modern Spirituality. Follow along as I acquire knowledge from teachers, literature, travels and personal experiences of how Divine love can change your life for the better. It is my hope that every listener will benefit from this podcast, spreading the love, which really does work wonders!
