The Spiritual Brain, Mediumship in Your DNA & Lessons for the Soul

At Spirit Fest USA in Dulles, Virginia, we sat down with Vanessa Anseloni from the Spiritist Society of Virginia for a conversation that bridged neuroscience, spirituality, and service to humanity. What we discovered was a movement dedicated to teaching, healing, and inspiring...rooted in Spiritism, a philosophy and science exploring our nature, origins, and destiny as immortal beings.
 
Vanessa, a neuroscientist and psychologist, shared how the Society blends rigorous study with heart-centered practice, offering free programs for children, teens, and adults. From lessons on emotional intelligence to outreach for the homeless in Washington, D.C., their mission is grounded in compassion and inclusivity, welcoming people of all faiths and backgrounds.

We dive deep into:

  • What Spiritism really is and how it connects the physical and spiritual realms
  • The groundbreaking MRI research revealing the “spiritual brain”
  • Why mastering your emotional intelligence is essential before deep spiritual work
  • The Society’s powerful outreach programs, and why kids play a central role
  • Mediumship in your DNA: the science and history behind this innate human gift
  • How Spiritist Parenting, Kardec Radio, and the Spiritist Magazine are helping spread light globally
Along the way, Vanessa shares fascinating stories, like asking her spirit guides for help during her master’s degree exams, and waking with exactly the information she needed. We also explore how Spiritist lessons for children (including wisdom from Benjamin Franklin’s 13 virtues!) are shaping the next generation of compassionate, conscious leaders. 

This episode is a reminder that spirituality isn’t about abandoning reason; it’s about aligning the mind and heart to better serve yourself, your community, and the world.

1
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:06.719

2
00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:11.279

We've got to talk to her because this is incredible.

6
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:25.960
Many questions, yes, okay, So let's start from the very

7
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:30.359
very beginning. What is a Spirit Society of Virginia. Sorry,

8
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:32.039
Spiritual Society Virginia.

9
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:37.799
Yes, spiritual sort of Virginia, psycho spiritual center where we

10
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:44.840
study about our immortality, reincarnation, medium ship. We teach children, teens, adults.

11
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:48.799
We do reach out outreach programs. We do charitable actions

12
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:53.960
as well. And we are the sponsors of the Spiritist Magazine,

13
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:58.520
which is a magazine that has been international for seventeen years.

14
00:00:58.600 --> 00:00:59.679
Wow. Yes.

15
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:03.520
We have Kardek Radio, which is our international radio that

16
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:05.640
has been happening for fourteen years.

17
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:06.280
Wow.

18
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:10.519
And we have our publisher which is going to turn

19
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:12.079
a year this year.

20
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:14.719
Oh congratulations, that's fantastic.

21
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:19.799
You picked a very easy mission.

22
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:23.400
Huh, No, work it all, no work at all.

23
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:26.840
Yeah. So what led you to start the society?

24
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:31.400
Well, actually I come from a Spiritist family. I was born,

25
00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:34.640
so became an American. I've been in the US for

26
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:41.040
twenty seven years and we have a more dense one

27
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:45.280
hundred year old Spiritist center in Brazil that is like

28
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:47.079
a whole block.

29
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:51.120
So what exactly is spiritist? What does that mean? It

30
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:52.239
comes from spiritism.

31
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:57.680
It's the science that explains our nature, our origin, and

32
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:01.519
our destiny as immortal spirits and our connection with the

33
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:05.200
spiritual the physical realm. So it started in Friends in

34
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:09.719
eighteen fifty seven with Kardec and it spread to the world.

35
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:14.840
Brazil is nowadays the greatest spiritist Like there has more

36
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:18.240
people the spiritists in the world, but it's spread out.

37
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:24.439
It's fantastic, various countries and we practice mediumship. The difference

38
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:28.280
is that everything is free. We're all volunteers, one hundred

39
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:31.520
percent volunteer based. So we have our professions. Like for me,

40
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:34.879
I am a neuroscientist, I am a psychologist. I have

41
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:40.159
my profession and everything we do is in our off time.

42
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:40.759
Right.

43
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:45.000
Wow, yeah, Krry, she hit the hot spot for me.

44
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:50.159
You know which one? I have a feeling neuroscientists, right.

45
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:55.280
That is such a cool like dichotomy, but neuroscience and

46
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:59.080
metaphysics or spirituality not something that typically go hand in

47
00:02:59.120 --> 00:02:59.560
hand together.

48
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:00.680
But more more.

49
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:03.560
It is more so, how did you find yourself to

50
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:06.719
this as a neuro scientist, I know.

51
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:09.280
Is there a connection between the brain and the soul?

52
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:14.599
Science cannot say that because for science, desult doesn't exist.

53
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:18.879
You know, because for science, desault doesn't exist. Because science

54
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:21.879
you have to you say that. I know, because I'm

55
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:25.919
an between.

56
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:29.439
The brands right now. But you're right. Science has to

57
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:30.680
show results.

58
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:35.120
Predictably, right. You have to have measurable results that can

59
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.360
be done again and again and again. And for this

60
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:42.280
type of work, it's not possible. You can't have measurable

61
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:45.120
results that have different paradigm.

62
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:48.520
In now our credit radio shows, we've interviewed several people,

63
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:50.520
amongst them like you don't know Bird the the are

64
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:55.560
scientists who actually at Penn State University and then later

65
00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:01.080
at Thamas Jefferson University, he researched, He did mr studies

66
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:05.639
on mediums. He brought mediums from Brazil who are spiritists,

67
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:08.879
and he compared to other types of mediums, and he

68
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:12.360
compared to people who are what unquote not mediums because

69
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:14.120
at the end of the day, we know everybody's a medium.

70
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:16.120
But well, I'm actually an extra laarge.

71
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:16.600
You know.

72
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:20.360
I'm sorry, Daniel Jackson, I stole your joke.

73
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:29.800
So he show what happens to the brain. So in

74
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:32.680
his studies he shows that we have a spiritual brain.

75
00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:34.480
He wrote a book about it.

76
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:38.120
We have a spiritual brain, we have a spiritual intelligence.

77
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:40.079
We need to take care of it. But people don't.

78
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:45.319
So true, that's very tit. But as a psychologist, I

79
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:49.680
would say, before working on your spirituality, you need to

80
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:52.959
work on your emotions, your emotional intelligence.

81
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:55.240
You can't really reach that.

82
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:58.000
Level of spirituality without taking care of your emotions.

83
00:04:58.000 --> 00:04:58.720
Well doesn't that makes sense?

84
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:01.040
Because if you're having all these hectic thoughts and anxiety

85
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:04.240
and fear, and that's all taking feeling up your head

86
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:04.560
too much.

87
00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:08.199
For example, I'm a medium. If I don't know how

88
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:12.160
to hear my emotions, I'm going to connect what kind

89
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:13.519
of spirits I'm not gonna connect to.

90
00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:16.480
The not good ones?

91
00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:21.680
Do I need to fix that? Organize myself my emotions.

92
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:24.800
As I tell my daughter, your mind is like a

93
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:27.959
photo album. You think it's like vivid images.

94
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:33.360
So whatever you're thinking, it is making connections and those

95
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:38.319
connections will lead to associations that will either lead you

96
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:40.680
to progress or hinder you.

97
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:45.319
That's amazingly profound, it is.

98
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:48.519
It's so simple, yes, so deep and complex at the

99
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:48.959
same time.

100
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:51.879
It really is so.

101
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:59.319
Gosh. How does someone come to terms with.

102
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:03.639
Because we talked about if you are trying to move

103
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:05.480
in this direction, then your mind's outright, you're going to

104
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:08.639
you're going to bring up the wrong side of the fence,

105
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:10.800
for lack of a better term. Right, So how does

106
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:13.120
someone we talk we've heard about shadow work and all

107
00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:16.160
that kind of stuff. How does someone get to the

108
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:17.759
point and when do they know that they're at a

109
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:21.000
point where they can safely move forward with spiritualism.

110
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:26.120
Okay, so let's talk about our emotions. We need to

111
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:30.279
know ourselves in our main book, the spiritual book. Here,

112
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:34.000
we have a whole booth filled with books. People need

113
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:37.800
to instruct themselves. People think so spiritual, I just need

114
00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:40.319
to meditate. No no, no, no no.

115
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:47.040
We need to connect our reasoning with our feelings to

116
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:52.839
align ourselves. So when you instruct yourself, like question nine

117
00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:56.160
hundred and nineteen of the spiritualk by card ag, how

118
00:06:56.199 --> 00:07:01.199
am I going to progress without making mistakes? The answer

119
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:05.399
of the Good Spirits was self knowledge, so like here

120
00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:10.079
so many opportunities for us to learn more about ourselves.

121
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:13.079
Who are we? Once I get to know of who

122
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:18.519
I am, then I can make choices more consciously and

123
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:24.480
can walk with our ardent angels, connect with spirit guides.

124
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:28.800
I tell my daughter and the kids in our center, say, look,

125
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:33.839
every night when you go to sleep, you can ask

126
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:37.120
your guarden angel to take you to the spiritual realm.

127
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:40.759
You can learn things. Next day. If you have a test,

128
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:44.079
you're gonna be better off. I'll give you an example myself.

129
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:48.439
When I was applying for my master's degree before my PhD,

130
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:54.120
I was studying so hard. I had a two day

131
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:59.560
test to pass to both through the application process interviews.

132
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:04.560
Except right it was midnight. I couldn't study anything. So

133
00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:10.120
I went to sleep. Before I slept, I asked the

134
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:15.959
good spirits, can I keep studying the spiritual realm. I'm

135
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:18.639
not asking to be to be a cheater or anything.

136
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:24.000
Can I continue because my body needs to rest? Said sure,

137
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:28.079
So I slept, woke up at six am. First thing

138
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:31.600
when I woke up, they showed me forgot to study

139
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:35.279
this paragraph. Go to the book study because that's gonna

140
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:39.320
be a question on this I got the test.

141
00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:41.039
It was right.

142
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:44.720
So it's kind of cheating in a way though, right,

143
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:51.919
fair point, fair point. So you've got a bunch of

144
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:53.840
magazines in your e laugh. So we gotta I gotta

145
00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:56.559
call him out because so here's.

146
00:08:55.799 --> 00:09:00.240
The gorgeous and we have special articles, especially when about

147
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:04.440
mediumship in the genes from a group of psychiatrists who

148
00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:10.519
showed first hand how we have specific genes expressing our

149
00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:12.480
ability as mediums.

150
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:15.679
So they researched on people who are mediums and who

151
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:20.399
are not so called mediums. They did the whole study

152
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:25.519
and they showed you and our mRNA studies that there

153
00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:30.440
are some genes that are specifically lighting up for people

154
00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:31.879
who are mediums.

155
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:33.240
Wow.

156
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:36.600
So then what you're saying is that you're either a

157
00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:40.000
medium or you're not from because in your genes.

158
00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:43.559
Yes, so your medium as you're born. There's no such things.

159
00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:46.200
I became a medium. No, you didn't know you were,

160
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:46.960
but you were.

161
00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:49.240
But are you saying that that's in everyone's DNA?

162
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:53.960
In everyone's And Cardek said that in eighteen sixty one

163
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:55.480
when you published a medium's book.

164
00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:00.879
He said, it's an organic thing. Mediumship is in the body.

165
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:06.120
So if you're a medium, your daughter, potentially maybe a meddle.

166
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:09.759
So I actually that brings me to the question I was.

167
00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:13.000
You said, you do you teach children? Yes, and you

168
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:15.399
do outreaches. And I opened this to what I think

169
00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:18.360
I needed to see, and it was teens. As I say,

170
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:21.519
teens write advice messages to punch Spilot.

171
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:23.919
And we have a teen.

172
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:26.639
I can tell you what they're saying. Don't do it, bunches,

173
00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:29.279
don't do it, I said.

174
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:36.000
I Actually, they said, you have got talk to him.

175
00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:39.039
He can't. He has something to teach you. M. So

176
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:42.840
this is a study that we've been doing here. This

177
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:43.799
is here with us.

178
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:46.639
She's one of the dcators as well, teaching a book

179
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:50.720
about Jesus time. It's a mid domestic book through the

180
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:53.840
medium the Brazilian medium Chiku Chavir two thousand years ago.

181
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:57.080
So the spirit who used to be a sanatory back

182
00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:01.000
then we met. Spilot talks about the whole story. And

183
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:04.200
there is one lessing in which we asked them, what

184
00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:06.759
if you would like to write a letter to some

185
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:08.559
of these people, who would you choose?

186
00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:09.759
They choose punctions Pilot.

187
00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:12.200
Interesting, Wow, I like this.

188
00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:18.399
Listen to Olivia. She knows Jesus is innocent Oh my gosh,

189
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:22.600
this is wonderful, and this program be came to publish.

190
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:27.759
We actually came to publish other books for kids as well,

191
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:31.200
other books for kids, all.

192
00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:35.759
Especially, for example, all the Fox Sisters in the United States.

193
00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:41.559
He already knows about it northeast of New York, the

194
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:43.440
famous story of the Fox Sisters.

195
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:46.919
And here we have a book that tells about it,

196
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:49.559
and we have a trilogy by.

197
00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:55.639
Our dear. It's a an astronaut. He doesn't want to

198
00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:58.000
say his name, and he says, call me astronaut. James

199
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:02.240
came to teach children about charity. So he palls Charity

200
00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:06.960
Planet the planet Charity, and he leads them to a

201
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:10.440
journey to Galilee to teach about the special places where

202
00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:15.080
Jesus stopped and what he did to teach little kids

203
00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:20.440
about it. And these i special ones from another spirit author.

204
00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:25.320
It's a poem by Chris Walney about the lightingness.

205
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:29.679
So this is very special to me right now because

206
00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:32.159
when we so with New Reality, what we do is

207
00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:36.120
we gather content partners from literally all over the world,

208
00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:39.480
from Thailand to Portugal to the UK to everywhere, and

209
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:43.960
they create these these shows, which essentially are these beautiful messages.

210
00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:46.720
And I've always said it's like everyone's holding out their

211
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:49.799
little light, their candle in the darkness, and it's beautiful.

212
00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:51.759
But you can only eliminate a little space.

213
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:55.000
So we plan or we our goal with New Reality

214
00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:58.039
TV is to gather all of these candles together to

215
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:00.879
create this big, beautiful beacon of life and love that

216
00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:03.360
people can't help see and that they'll be drawn to.

217
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:04.600
That's beautiful.

218
00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:08.639
We need it, definitely, Definitely, that's very good. For example,

219
00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:09.519
that's act example.

220
00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:12.440
Yes it is, so, I see there's a there's a

221
00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:17.360
very concerted effort focus on educating kids.

222
00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:20.440
Yes, so is that? Would you say that's the main

223
00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:23.960
mission of the society, Yes, it is.

224
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:27.080
Okay, we have lots of adults, but our main mission,

225
00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:29.480
right Daisy, are the kids.

226
00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:36.320
Every Wednesday when we have our medianistic meetings, the spirit educators,

227
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:39.000
the educators of the Beyond come.

228
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:42.440
They're the ones who will lay out the books, the programs.

229
00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:46.480
And soon we're going to release a new website with

230
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:50.080
all the lesson plans that we have, especially one for

231
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:57.759
US Americans from Ben Franklin and he's thirteen Virtues have

232
00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:01.679
lesson planned teaching kids That about the thirteen virtual program

233
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:04.120
that he created when he was twenty years old. Wow,

234
00:14:04.559 --> 00:14:09.240
people talk about being friendly, they talk about death in Texas, about.

235
00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:12.519
Time is money, but the most important thing they don't talk.

236
00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:14.960
About the virtues. Yeah right, yeah, no.

237
00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:15.360
Yeah.

238
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:20.600
So it's great because you are helping to shape the

239
00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:23.080
minds of the young when they're young, so that when

240
00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:25.639
they grow older they are adults that already have this

241
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:29.039
in their toolkit and can live like the right way

242
00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:30.279
and help others to live like.

243
00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:31.720
They're getting it from the beginning.

244
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:34.399
Yes, and you see so many of the problems that

245
00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:38.840
we have is because children are learning other values I

246
00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:41.200
guess you could call them that are necessarily those of

247
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:43.799
love and light and virtue. So I think if you

248
00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:48.879
instill this at a young age, it spreads like wildfire exactly.

249
00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:53.200
And our kids come with us to DC. We have

250
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:56.840
a special license. We are the only organization who has

251
00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:00.720
a license in d C to do outreach programs for

252
00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:05.320
the beggars and the homeless in the Franklin Park and

253
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:09.320
the Much Person Square, and our kids they come as

254
00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:13.039
early as a parent want. They come to give them food,

255
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:16.440
to pray with them, to talk with them, and to

256
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:20.080
learn that there is more to life than just ourselves.

257
00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:25.279
Fantastic gods one fantastic and then your radio show that

258
00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:29.759
you have her or where it's done on the it's

259
00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:30.399
a digital no, no.

260
00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:32.960
No, we have an app. Okay, we have an app

261
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:38.159
for car radio KA RDC Radio. We have an app

262
00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:39.080
twenty four seven.

263
00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:42.720
And we also have an app for the Spiritist Magazine,

264
00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:44.039
which is free of charge.

265
00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:45.960
We have sixty nine issues.

266
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:49.840
They're available for Pinko to read the magazine digitally if

267
00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:54.200
they want. And we also have another effort of our

268
00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:59.799
Spiritu Society is the Spiritist Parenting supporting parents.

269
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:01.399
Yes we are.

270
00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:03.600
You have your ful daughter here with you.

271
00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:07.440
This is so unique, how important it is to support

272
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:12.679
parents in their mission. It's called Spiritist Parenting. It's a

273
00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:17.200
free app as well. Everything we do is free. Everyone

274
00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:20.360
who works with us is volunteer. One hundred percent volunteer based.

275
00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:20.879
That's amazing.

276
00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:23.000
Therefore one hundred percent.

277
00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:25.639
And all we want to do is really support people

278
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:31.600
in their family, restoring the values of family, God in

279
00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:40.639
the family, true spirituality, all embracing no no prejudices, no boundaries.

280
00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:42.000
One world together.

281
00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:46.759
So that actually just sparked the question what about people

282
00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:48.320
that have different religious beliefs.

283
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:52.480
They're being kind a place with you, yeah, perfect, Yes,

284
00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:57.200
Actually the effort we started in the Sea more than.

285
00:16:57.120 --> 00:16:57.879
Twelve years ago.

286
00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:03.039
It started in our partnership with the Escenes in Bethesda.

287
00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:04.839
Wow.

288
00:17:05.160 --> 00:17:10.400
Yes. We also have lots of collaborations with Spiritualists up north,

289
00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:15.200
and when we founded the Spiritists out of Baltimore twenty

290
00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:18.240
seven years ago before I came to Virginia and it's

291
00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:21.920
still there, the Spiritists out of Baltimore. We have lots

292
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:25.359
of collaborations with Jewish friends like Sohara am I Hof

293
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:30.039
in Baltimore, Maryland. She is one of our strongest supporters

294
00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:36.759
and ministers from Unity Churches and other churches as well.

295
00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:39.640
So we welcome my from mine and I love that

296
00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:42.680
so much. And places like Spiritfest where you have all

297
00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:43.519
of these different people.

298
00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:45.480
I think it's so important to know that you don't

299
00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:47.759
you can be Christian, you can be Jewish, you can

300
00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:54.119
be whatever, and this space is not exclusive. We welcome everybody,

301
00:17:54.680 --> 00:17:57.039
and I think ultimately we've had some of our content

302
00:17:57.119 --> 00:18:00.599
partners say that they've worked with people, and in particular

303
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:03.400
So she worked with a Muslim. Oh, gentlemen, he was

304
00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:05.079
very he didn't he had to do it for work.

305
00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:07.759
She was helping a corporate route setting and he did

306
00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:09.720
not want to be involved. But at the end of

307
00:18:09.799 --> 00:18:11.240
their week, he came up to her and said, you

308
00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:14.119
have made me a better mustard. Yes, you know, or

309
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:18.000
I can practice you know, my my religion more holy

310
00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:20.799
because of you. And that's what I love about this. Yes,

311
00:18:20.920 --> 00:18:24.599
it just helps you to be better whatever you are,

312
00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:28.599
whoever you are. This environment, this atmosphere helps you to

313
00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:29.039
be better.

314
00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:30.240
I agree with you.

315
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:32.799
I feel so good to be here and we are

316
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:37.839
at a critical time on Earth in which we're making

317
00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:45.640
good choices. The choice to be tolerant, understanding together, that's

318
00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:49.200
the only choice we have to really move forward.

319
00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:53.000
Thank you so much for what you're doing. It's such

320
00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:55.160
an important mission. You really appreciate it.

321
00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:57.519
We have a wonderful group. Yeah, wonderful.

322
00:18:58.200 --> 00:19:00.880
Knowing that that it's all free and everyone to volunteer

323
00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:03.920
says a lot, says a lot. So thank you for

324
00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:05.559
what you're doing. Thank you for what you're doing.

325
00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:09.519
Uh and uh my express gratitude to everyone involved with

326
00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:11.519
the society because that's an amazing thing that you're doing.

327
00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:12.599
So thank you, thank you.

328
00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:15.319
