Description
Welcome to Season Two of Grounded on Purpose! This season, we’re leaving the states and taking the pod across the pond to Northern Ireland, a place where common ground felt almost impossible just a few decades ago during the 30-year conflict known as "the Troubles."  This season's guests will guide us through the history and introduce us to the music that helped end the Troubles.  We'll also journey together to a sacred place called Corrymeela on Northern Ireland's coast. This peace and reconciliation retreat is known for bringing people together, and it has hosted high-profile peacemakers, including the Dalai Lama. At a time when the U.S. feels more divided than ever for most of us, I can’t wait to share all I'm learning from these amazing thought-leaders. So tune in once a month as we get Grounded on Purpose in Northern Ireland. Thank you as always for listening!
