Summary
People who lead the iconoclastic life of a trailblazer often attract lots of attention — praise mixed with notoriety — especially where religion is concerned.
Meet Sean O’Laoire, an ordained Catholic priest with a degree in Mathematics, a world traveler who speaks six languages, a spiritual director of a non-denominational community in Palo Alto, Calif., and truth-teller who explores the spaces between history, religion and mythology in this spiritual Living 4D conversation.
Learn more about Sean and his work at his Spirits in Spacesuits website. Follow him on social media via Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.
