Podcast Radio Interviews
In the New Story of OneEarth Living, religion and science are entering a new relationship. At their best, they work together to:
Urge humans to live in interdependent relationship with all beings
Reverse climate change
Break through to new social and economic systems
Of course, only some houses of worship and faith communities have joined in this effort so far. One such community is featured in this podcast interview.
We’re glad you’re listening.

The Great Council of the Grandmothers first appeared in 1996 as Sharon McErlane walked her dog. “The world is in grave danger,” they said. “We will not allow its destruction. For too long, Yang—or masculine energy—has dominated life on Earth, causing feminine energy to become deficient and weak. We have come to restore Yin to its full beauty and power, and to return the world to balance. We are calling you to this work.”
Sharon, who lives in Laguna Beach, California, is a therapist, wife, mother, and artist who studied with Sai Baba in India. She founded the worldwide organization Net of Light and has written several books.
