Free Spirit

Free Spirit is a television series, created by Sharon Farr and Lee Otten, which first aired during 1999 and is currently running in its eighth season in South Africa on SABC. Free Spirit is an upbeat and eclectic magazine programme for people interested in open-minded spirituality and conscious living. This spiritual lifestyle magazine series celebrates South Africa’s spiritual and cultural diversity and explores alternative health options in an entertaining, sometimes provocative, yet always non-sensational and embracing way. Two documentary feature stories give the programme depth, providing viewers with insight into people’s spiritual journeys - both personal and geographical, exploring issues, practices and phenomena across a spectrum of beliefs and featuring projects or initiatives that have a positive effect on people’s lives. Free Spirit also puts the spiritual spotlight on well-known figures talking about their spirituality and beliefs and provides easy-to-do lifestyle hints with shorter more practical pieces such as Healing with Herbs and new slot focused on culinary and therapeutic uses of Spices. Regular book reviews, Health Spa and Book give-aways as well a monthly readings from renowned Astrologer Rod Suskin add further value for viewers.
