Joe DeRiso - KC Podcast 7 - Surrendering to Love / Sufi Path

In this podcast, Joe DeRiso describes his spiritual journey, beginning with a calling to the priesthood as a child. A year after resolving a period of the "dark night of the soul", by completely surrendering to love, Joe experienced a yoga-induced full Kundalini Awakening in 1976. In 1980, he embarked on a process of making the Divine a reality in his life, by following a Sufi path of inner transformation.
