"The Search For God" brings together philosopher and

author Jacob Needleman with Sufi teacher Pir Zia Inayat Khan to share their

unique insights on the concept and the experience of "God." In addition to

their engaging studio conversation, this program includes unique original

footage from a recent spiritual retreat led by Pir Zia, along with a discussion

of God by philosophy group led by Jacob Needleman. With both these groups, the

concept of God is shared, explored and even felt, by some participants.

opportunity to access a live webcast to join the

conversation with the program guests, send comments and ask questions.

"Stories to Remember" brings together two guests who use the power

of storytelling to remember what is important. Kay Olan, a renowned

storyteller from the Mohawk nation in upstate New York, meets community

organizer and youth mentor, Orland Bishop, who brings the power of story and African

wisdom traditions to his work with members of notorious Los Angeles street

gangs.

Global Spirit is a unique inquiry into

humankind's belief systems, wisdom traditions, and states of

consciousness. Presented by British actor and writer John Cleese and

hosted by author and spiritual seeker Phil Cousineau, this unique,

critically acclaimed series features renowned experts such as Deepak Chopra,

Karen Armstrong, Robert Thurman, Riane Eisler, and many others. Mixing

evocative film segments with deep discussion, Global Spirit takes

between ancient wisdom traditions, diverse belief systems, world religions,

metaphysics and modern science.
