Dr. Laura hosts a special episode to highlight The LiLoHia Project. She’s joined by Gerald Auger and Sass Jordan, co-collaborators on The LiLoHia Project, for a conversation on exactly what the project is about, what it aims to do, and who can get involved. LiLoHia - light, love, and gratitude - is about spirituality and the rise of human consciousness, and includes episodes, concerts and healing events curated by Gerald and Sass, centered around the solstice dates (March 21, June 21, September 21, December 21).Sass Jordan explains LiLoHia was created because there is such a demand by people to understand what’s happening in the world, to sort out underlying confusion and connect to oneself. Gerald Auger says “We’re just fulfilling our commitment that we made to our higher power to help our fellow human beings”. Dr. Laura and her guests discuss the journey Gerald and Sass are on, the different paths people find themselves on when seeking spirituality, and what spirituality is and can be. The conversation sheds light on how all these insights weave into The LiLoHia Project. “... because we have the opportunity to have public platforms, we're just sharing our journey with anyone who's interested ... I think it's a collective growth that we're all going through. And, you know, when you can lean on each other, someone else has a question and maybe you have an answer… but beyond anything that you say, it's [that] you got to walk your talk.” - Sass JordanAbout Gerald Auger:Gerald Auger is an actor, producer, writer, entrepreneur and motivational speaker from Alberta, Canada, of Woodland Cree descent.

After being spotted at the opening ceremonies of the 1995 Canada Winter Games, Auger was given a supporting role in the 1998 film Il mio West (later dubbed Gunslinger’s Revenge), also starring David Bowie and Harvey Keitel.

Montreal’s burgeoning ’70’s scene included a ‘no holds barred’ approach to glam, punk, blues, prog, metal, country, jazz, folk, with the added attraction of a homegrown sound created by the Quebecois artists of the decade, unique to the landscape and pertinent to the denizens of the period. There was no better musical place to be in the ’70’s- and this was the backdrop that nurtured one of the pioneers of female fronted rock – Sass Jordan.In the years since these auspicious beginnings, Sass has found herself working with and in the company of many of the people that inspired her to do what she does, amongst them the incomparable Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Steve Miller Band, Van Halen, The Foo Fighters, Cheap Trick, Santana, Joe Cocker, Styx, Rodger Hodgson, April Wine, Jeff Healy, and countless others. She has won various awards, including Juno and Billboard, and has sold over a million records world wide.Sass was a feature actor in the episodic tv show “Sisters”, and from 2003 to 2008 starred as one of the four judges on the hugely popular television series, Canadian Idol. Her songs and performances have been featured on numerous television shows, including the iconic 90’s ‘Baywatch’ and ‘Knight Rider’, The Dennis Miller Show, and SyFy’s ‘Defiance’.There are very few female singers out there that are used as an example to describe a sound/style, but Sass is one of them.Resources:Gerald Auger websiteGerald Auger on FacebookSass Jordan websiteSass Jordan on InstagramThe LiLoHia Project on YouTubeThe LiLoHia Project on InstagramThe LiLoHia Project on TwitterLearn more about Dr. Laura on her website: https://drlaura.liveFor more resources, look into Dr. Laura’s organizations: Canada Career CounsellingCalgary Career CounsellingSynthesis Psychology
