Public Space Dialogue: "Embracing Paradox"

Date & Time: December 29th, 2025

Synopsis:

In this episode of Public Space, we sit down with author Prashanthi Amarnath to explore the subtle power of paradox and the Taoist teachings that shape her debut book, Embracing Paradox.

Raised within multiple belief systems and trained as an engineer, Prashanthi brings a grounded, thoughtful approach to spirituality — one that blends ancient wisdom with the daily realities of work, family, and inner growth. Together, we explore how Taoist principles like Wu Wei, openness, and reflective awareness can help us meet uncertainty with clarity and compassion.

This conversation invites listeners to rethink the role of paradox in modern life — not as a source of confusion, but as a pathway to balance, resilience, and gentle transformation. Through practical rituals, lived insight, and a deep respect for the Tao Te Ching, Prashanthi illuminates how simple shifts in perspective can open space for peace amid constant change.

Public Space Dialogue: "Divine Astrology"

Date & Time: November 18th, 2025

Synopsis:

In this episode of Public Space, we journey into the realm of Divine Astrology — exploring how the language of the stars can be reinterpreted as a living dialogue between the cosmos and consciousness. Dr. Aaron Waldron, M.Div., sits down to reflect on the work and teachings of Dr. Louis Turi, whose insights into cosmic consciousness invite us to see astrology not as superstition, but as a sacred science of the soul. Together, we’ll explore how Divine Astrology unveils an ancient wisdom that transcends the institutional and colonized frameworks of religion — returning us to a direct, embodied relationship with the Divine through the cosmos itself.

As we look beyond dogma, Divine Astrology becomes a Theopoetic practice — an art of reading the sky as scripture, not written in words but in symbols, rhythms, and archetypes. The planets are not distant bodies, but mirrors of our collective and personal evolution.
