Music, the Baha'i teachings assert, is “the food of the soul and the spirit.” In this episode, we explore that spiritual concept with Atieno Mboya, the African Baha'i attorney and legal scholar.

Atieno grew up in Nairobi, Kenya, has lived all over the world, and is an academic in the field of international and environmental law. As a Baha'i and a mother, she practices a rigorous professional discipline and raises her children conscientiously – and one of the things she loves, music, helps her do both. She first learned to sing the songs of the spirit as an elementary school student in a Catholic school, and has continued to express her joy with music in her journey as a Baha'i.

In the final episode of our first season, Sean speaks to Kate Glastonbury, who was born and raised in Wagga Wagga, Australia, and now works in international development in Sydney. As a young woman in the mid-90s, Kate briefly lived in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia — a place that had just come out of Soviet rule and that was, Kate says, “similarly new to the world as I was.” Kate became friends with Sean around this time, and he frequently shared with her passages from the writings of the Baha’i Faith and one in particular that she'd never forget.
