Raëlism - Peter Heaven
We have arrived at the final episode for series 1 of Dying with Mon 💀! I'm so excited to share this conversation with you! Today I’m speaking with Peter Heaven, a Level 4 guide within the Raëlian movement. If you've never heard of this community, you are certainly in for a treat. The Raëlian Church was founded in the 1970s by French race-car journalist, Maitreya Rael after an extraordinary encounter with a human being from another planet. I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation with Peter, and I really hope you do to. Credits: Host: Monika O'Hanlon Creator of Would You Rather... and North East Arnhem Land with Mon.

Clairvoyant - Tracey Rhodes
Hello! Welcome to another episode of Dying with Mon. I’m so happy to have you with me as we explore what death means to people from different religions and movements. Today’s guest is a tricky one to put into just one box. Her name’s Tracey Rhodes and she’s a clairvoyant and a spiritual healer, among other things. We met at the Eumundi Markets last year and the way she spoke about death was so beautiful I wanted to hear more. Tracey actually introduced me to the White Eagle Lodge, which I did an episode on earlier in the series. If you want to check it out, I speak with Gay Robinson and explore what their community is all about. The day Trace and I set up the interview (like the rest of them it was all online) we had terrible weather. So in some parts the audio quality isn’t great - but bare with us, this episode is definitely worth it. Tracey has this amazing energy, she just radiates warmth and was so open. It really was an awesome experience, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it. Credits: Host: Monika O'Hanlon Creator of Would You Rather... and North East Arnhem Land with Mon.

Christianity - Rev Robert Smith
Helloo! Happy New Year! I hope your 2021 is off to a fabulous start! If you’re new to the pod, welcome! Each week I speak to someone from a different religion or movement about what they believe happens when we die. And yes, it sounds pretty grim – but I can assure you, it’s surprisingly upbeat! Today I am just thrilled to share with you a conversation I recorded last year with Reverend Robert Smith – AKA Bob. He’s a Churches of Christ Minister but has experience in a number of denominations within Christianity – and he’s got some really interesting perspectives. I think like many people growing up in Australia, Christianity - and in my case particularly Catholicism was the first religion I learnt about, so I thought I had the basics covered. However, I was actually really surprised about some of the things Bob said. He’s a lovely guy, super patient and a fabulous storyteller. I really hope you enjoy it!

Noosa Temple of Satan - Brother Samael Demo Gorgon
Happy Hump Day! To celebrate the final episode of Dying with Mon for 2020 we are going out with a bang! Today’s guest may sound a bit controversial – but I can assure you it's not what you think. I highly recommend going into this one with an open mind and listening to the entire episode. Because this week I speak with Robin Bristow – AKA brother Samael Dema Gorgon. He’s in charge of the Noosa Temple of Satan. So whether you’re commuting to work, going for a jog or just at home - settle in, it’s going to be a good one.

White Eagle Lodge - Gay Robinson
Welcome back to another episode of Dying with Mon. I’m honored to have you on this journey with me as we explore what death means to people from different religions and movements. As you will soon find out we had a lot of tech issues to begin with, on the day we recorded there was some pretty stormy weather around. But we persevered, and with a little help from Gay’s friend Steve we managed to record this episode – and I’m so glad we did! If you’re like me and you’ve never heard of the White Eagle Lodge, I guarantee you are going to find this conversation absolutely fascinating. Gay was so generous with her time and just has this very calming way about her. If you find yourself feeling scared or worried about death and dying, I think this chat could give you a bit of peace of mind.

Hare Krishna Movement - Bhakta Dasa
This week on Dying with Mon I am just thrilled to be speaking with Brahmin Priest and the Communications Officer for ISKON Australia – Bhakta Dasa. I knew a little bit about the Hare Krishna movement, but coming out of this conversation I have a whole new outlook. We cover everything from the history of the movement to Hare Krishna customs and traditions, and what devotees believe happen when we die. Just FYI, this was recorded before Victoria came out of their strict lockdown, Bhakta is based in Melbourne and there are a few references in there - so just keep that in mind. If you are enjoying this series so far a rating and a review would be much appreciated! It helps get this little show out there and I would be SO grateful. Happy listening!

Church of All Worlds - Oberon Zell
Hello – thank you so much for clicking on this podcast! I am SO excited to share with you episode 1 of Dying with Mon 💀 Obviously this year with the pandemic, death has been a huge subject. Even if you’ve never had someone close to you pass away, this year in particular - death has been highlighted around the world. Whether we like it or not it’s taken over our screens and our conversations. So why on earth would I dedicate an entire series to it? Well if you’re anything like me, and you find the idea of death scary or confronting – these conversations might make you feel a bit better. Or maybe you enjoy the topic and find it really interesting – either way, this series is for you. We’re going on a journey through life, death – and potentially an afterlife through the lenses of different religions and movements. For our very first episode we sit down with the Founder of the Church of All Worlds, Oberon Zell. If you haven’t heard of him, you are certainly in for a treat. We speak about everything from starting the church in the 60’s to how his wife – Morning Glory came up with the term polyamory to describe her relationship with Oberon and their five way marriage. We also chat about past lives the afterlife and everything in between. He is an incredibly insightful guy and it was just so lovely chatting with him. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did. Happy listening! Credits: Host: Monika O'Hanlon Creator of Would You Rather... and North East Arnhem Land with Mon.

It’s been a grim year. Death has never been more highlighted around the world than in 2020. On top of everything else that can get us, now we’ve got Covid-19 breathing down our necks - and it’s terrifying! Dying is the great connector, it’s the one thing we all have in common. So why are many if us SO afraid of it? The scariest thing about what happens when we die is - we just don’t know. Which is why I'm bringing in the big guns. Join me – Monika O’Hanlon for series one of Dying with Mon as I chat with people from different religions and movements such as The Church of All Worlds, Raëlianism, the Hare Krishna Movement, clairvoyants, the Noosa Temple of Satan and more. So if you’re scared, or just curious – click Subscribe – tell a mate – and let’s come to grips with our mortality – together.
