Understanding Ourselves & Our Children Through Multidimensional Awareness & Spirituality

SPIRIT BABY RADIO

What will become of us in the times of expansion? How do you stay authentic and fearless? Are WE psychically mature enough to allow new energies into consciousness? What ways can we support children for our future?

Special Guest Episode: Kate Adams is a former primary school teacher and now a Professor of Education at Leeds Trinity University in the UK. She researches children’s spirituality, seeking to hear their stories of all things spiritual, from dreams through to encounters with the afterlife. Kate’s work gives voice to children, to help adults understand young people’s inner worlds and appreciate the wisdom they offer us. She is currently researching imaginary/invisible friends, looking at adults’ memories of their encounters in their childhood. Kate has published widely on the subject for over two decades through research papers, articles, and books including Unseen Worlds: Looking through the lens of childhood, and The Spiritual Dimension of Childhood and regularly gives talks internationally.
