About Me
Hi there. I'm Valerie Reiss, editor of Beliefnet's Holistic Spirituality area. (I also edit Buddhism, Earth-based religions, Yoga, and Meditation.) Welcome to the new social network part of the site.
Lately we've been doing a lot of interviews with spiritual (but not religious) teachers for the section. One of my favorites is this amazing video interview with the author of "Eat, Pray, Love," Elizabeth Gilbert by writer Leah Ingram. I found it incredibly inspiring, like a little spirit bath. Here's the video and text:

And here's a fun interview I did with Wayne Dyer from his house in Maui. He recently wrote a book on the Tao and has found his life transformed:

And the ever-lovely Paulo Coelho, author of "The Alchemist" and about a zillion other books, talked to me from Paris about his new book "The Witch of Portabello." His accent is as divine as his wisdom.
