A Conversation between Amy Lemon and Àlex Gómez-Marín. Amy Lemon has been a professional actress for 40 years in New York and Los Angeles. Her pursuit of knowledge into the nature of being a conscious human has been a lifelong study. Her inquiry into Jungian thought, perennial philosophy, consciousness studies broadly, religious studies in college and continuing presently as a seminary student, have been her passions.  Her 45 year spiritual practices and personal phenomenal experiences, have all opened and awakened a ravenous curiosity that has helped to heal her early childhood experience of being sexually, emotional and physically abused by a family member. She spent years working and on the board of directors of a non-profit, The Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse in upstate New York where she raised her two now adult daughters.
