Support for on-being with Christa Tippett comes from the Fetzer Institute, helping build

the Spiritual Foundation for a loving world.

Fetzer's new study, what does spirituality mean to us?

Reveals how spirituality informs our understanding of ourselves and each other, and inspires us

to take action for the common good.

I'm Christa Tippett.

Up next, my unedited conversation with the late sharing maples.

I interviewed her around the edges of a retreat with Ticknott Han in 2003.

Parts of this interview, as well as my conversation with Ticknott Han, appear in our show, remembering

So that'll be sort of the anchor.

So I just want to start by asking you how you first came in contact with this teaching

and this man.
