ICS Special 1: A Season with the Holy Guardian Angel a Class with Sarah
Clark

We did not run an episode on April 25th because we were wrapping up some work
on a new book, which hopefully you'll enjoy once it's out. But we did not want to go
the whole week with no episode. So to give you something to listen to we pulled out a
class Sarah taught previously on the Holy Guardian Angel at William Blake Lodge.
She gave us permission to use it and we think you'll enjoy it with as many people told
us how much they liked the interview with Sarah.
