Conscious Living Radio is a program
that explores alternative paradigms emerging in psychology, health,
various sciences, community building, education, and various
philosophies that challenge the modernist outlook and the institutional
forms that express it.
Thematically it reflects the
orientation of the new consciousness that emerged out of the 60s
counterculture and has been growing ever since. It is a consciousness
that views the need for profound social transformation, recognizing
that personal transformation is integral to that. It will give voice to
those searching to create a new culture, one that embodies different
values than the consumerist ones that dominate Western, modern society.
They are values that ultimately can be defined as being spiritual as
opposed to material.
The format consists primarily of
interviews, mostly live, some pre-recorded, with various authors,
teachers, workshop facilitators, theorists and therapists, both local
and visiting. Music is used only for transitional purposes. There is a
small segment devoted to some interesting news, inspirational quotes
and informational tidbits as a break at the half hour, beginning or end.
