On the Path: In Secret and Shadows with Author Janet Renu Pullen

I fell in-love with my guest for this episode between the covers of her book In Secret and Shadows.  There are many, many books on the subject of the Cathar, gnostics, and Mary Magdalene in the South of France (and I've read most of them), but I read Janet's book from start to finish the minute it landed in my hands.  And, it was the book that inspired my solo pilgrimage into Cathar country last year. . Join us as we explore the path as pilgrims, seekers, and lovers of curiosity, early Christian wisdom, and of France. . Janet Renu Pullen is an author, psychotherapist, practitioner of Kripalu Yoga and lifelong spiritual seeker. For over 40 years, her life work has been deeply rooted in self-inquiry, mindfulness and a search for truth. An enlightening experience at a mysterious medieval ruin deep in the foothills of the Pyrenees mountains of Southern France where Christian heretics were burned at the stake ignited an unexpected mystical adventure. Fueled by the questions, who were these heretics and what secrets of theirs were silenced in the flames, she set off on a quest for answers.  . Janet’s debut book, In Secret and Shadows: Discovering Light in the South of France, invites readers into a powerful journey of personal transformation set against the backdrop of the historical persecution of the Cathar in the South of France. Her forthcoming book, Starry Fields of the Holy Grail, carries readers with her on a continuing quest for truth along the ancient Camino de Santiago de Compostela. Her unexpected initiation along the Camino forces her to confront her fears, unprocessed traumas and false beliefs which leads to a mystical encounter with the lost heart of Christianity, Mary Magdalene.     . Currently Janet lives in New Jersey with her family. She frequently returns to France often leading mystical tours to places that continue to preserve sacred history.  .
