Show 22 - The Barefoot Doctor Interview

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO PODCAST
Over the last two years we've interviewed some of the world's leading visionaries, asking them the same simple questions; what quote means a lot to you? what book? whose life has inspired you? what has been a pivotal moment in your life? what's been the main theme of your life? what hope do you have for this world? what advice would you give the young you if faced with them now? what song has had great meaning?

JUST THE WORDS
We've had many fascinating answers and these have led into deep and meaningful exchanges - each interview lasting approx 40-50 minutes. With so many new subscribers joining Merlin's Diary every month, we're revamping some of our earlier interviews for those that might have missed them, so all that you get is the interview itself and none of the time-sensitive pre-amble.

So here in naked form is the first Merlin's Diary podcast interview with the King of spiritual cool, The Barefoot Doctor.

The interviews are all conducted by Barry Durdant-Hollamby and Neil del Strother

Our chosen cause for the month :

The Animal Healing Trust is based in Wythall which is South of Birmingham near the Worcestershire border. They started in 2008 and rescued 2 horses and now they have 23 horses at their sanctuary. Sue and Richard adopt all kinds of healing on the horses believing in a natural approach, so the horses have Reiki healing, Bowen, Bach Flowers, herbs, homeopathy, aromatherapy. The horses are allowed to live in herds to allow their natural ways of being horses to flourish. The residents have all come from different backgrounds be that racing, show-jumping, as pets, animal experiment laboratories and the slaughterhouse. They now have a tranquil heaing environment which they enjoy living in and people regularly comment they receive healing from them.

Founder Sue Gessey recently attended the House of Lords where she received a special award for her work.
