Reflections upon a Path to Union

On June 25th 2025, in collaboration with Open Folk, we presented our first ever live interview event in Los Angeles. As Open Folk put it: "In These Lines is a live event where three artists each bring one song — not just to perform, but to explore. They sit down with Sofia Loporcaro, host of Before The Chorus, to talk about where the song came from, what it meant to write it, and what it still holds. Then they play it. Just the song, and the truth behind it."

Before a song is released, a record is produced, or a chorus is written, the musicians that write them think. A lot. They live. A lot. And they feel. A LOT. Hosted by award-winning interviewer Sofia Loporcaro, Before the Chorus explores the genuine human experiences behind the music. Sofia’s deep knowledge of music and personal journey with mental health help her connect with artists on a meaningful level. This is a space where fans connect with artists, and listeners from all walks of life feel seen through the stories that shape the music we love. About the host: Sofia Loporcaro is an award-winning interviewer and radio host who’s spent over 8 years helping musicians share their stories. She’s hosted shows for Amazing Radio, and Transmission Roundhouse. Now on Before the Chorus, she’s had the chance to host guests like Glass Animals, Feist, Madison Cunningham, Mick Jenkins, & Ru Paul's Drag Race winner Shea Couleé. Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a text Could your health issues be rooted in energy imbalances you never knew existed? Join me, Penny Frampton, on this enlightening episode of "Reflections on a Path to Union," where we uncover the hidden world of esoteric healing and energy medicine. Promising a transformative journey, we'll explore the intricate energetic systems within us, focusing on the etheric body—a network of energy lines that serves as a blueprint for the physical form. We'll analyze how these energy lines govern the flow of prana, and the consequences of blockages and overstimulations. You’ll also learn how chakras, or energy vortices, are intricately linked to the endocrine glands and how they impact your physical and astral bodies. Moving beyond traditional concepts of healing, discover the profound idea that genuine recovery stems from soul consciousness. We'll discuss how true healing occurs through one's own soul connection or through the influence of someone radiating soul-level energy. Additionally, we break down the seven primary chakras, their connections to the endocrine glands, and the potential health issues that arise from imbalances. In a deeply moving segment, we touch on end-of-life energy healing, where serious diseases may signal a soul's decision to leave the physical form. This episode aims to shift your understanding of health and healing, emphasizing the necessity of a deep soul connection, lifestyle adjustments, and dietary changes for true well-being.
