Spiritual & Religious Experiences with Dr Marianne Rankin

What happens when we experience something that cannot easily be explained?

Could extraordinary spiritual experiences offer us a deeper understanding of consciousness, faith and the mysteries of life and death?

In this episodes of the Wisdom2Thrive podcast, Helen James welcomes Dr Marianne Rankin, author of An Introduction to Religious & Spiritual Experience, for a fascinating conversation exploring the extraordinary personal encounters that can transform our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

Our conversation touches on:

Spiritual and Religious experiences - the many ways people encounter a sense of the sacred, the divine or something beyond everyday reality.

Near Death Experiences (NDE's) - extraordinary accounts from people who have come close to death, and the questions they raise about consciousness and what may lie beyond.

The Alister Hardy Trust - its works in encouraging the exploration, study and understanding of spiritual experiences.

Interfaith understanding - finding common ground between different religious and spiritual traditions while honouring their differences.

The mystery of human experience - how moments of transcendence, connection and profound insight can influence the way we live.

Through her research, writing and Interfaith work, Dr Marianne Rankin invites us to approach these experiences with curiosity, openness and discernment.

Whether you have had an experience you cannot explain, are interested in near death experiences, or simply enjoy exploring life's deeper questions, I hope this conversation offer inspiration and new perspectives.

Felicity Warner is the founder of the Soul Midwives School and a pioneering voice in compassionate, holistic and therapeutic end of life care.

After spending years at the bedside of hundreds of dying people, Felicity created Soul Midwifery to help bring greater dignity, tenderness and meaning to the final chapter of life - offering comfort, not only to those who are dying, but also to their loved ones.

In this deeply moving conversation with Wisdom2Thrive host, Helen James, Felicity opens her heart about the childhood experiences, spiritual encounters and profound personal loss that shaped her life's work.

Felicity shares the moments that awakened her calling, along with her deep knowledge of sacred oils, the ancient tradition of the myrrhophore, and the spiritual legacy of Mary Magdalene.

Together, Helen and Felicity gently explore what is means to accompany someone through the transition from life to death - and how presence, reverence and love can transform the experience for everyone involved.
