  • Brilliant and connecting.

    I was recently introduced to Dr. Holmes’ work through other authors/spiritual leaders at the CAC. Hearing her voice brings her words to life in a life-giving way. Also, this podcast has introduced me to people who are living into connection. And, it’s introducing me to different conversations that I didn’t know that I needed to be having. Brilliant all the way around.

  • I cannot wait for more.

    This is the best podcast I have ever listened to, hands down, and I am waiting with eager expectation for more episodes. I feel actively transformed by every episode in a way that amazes me. I’m just so grateful. Thank you, thank you for this wealth of healing and inspiration! I love the silence at the end of the episodes and all the deliberate quiet, too.

The Restorative Power of Love With Felicia Murrell

The Restorative Power of Love With Felicia Murrell
Q: Can you give me a little bit more about how did you come up with that title and what was the inspiration behind the title for the book?
The title, 'The Restorative Power of Love,' reflects my journey with spirit and the understanding that love is a thread that connects us all. It was initially titled 'The Thread of Love' but the editor and I agreed on the current title as it encapsulates the book's essence well.
