Judith Lucy's Spiritual Journey

Judith kicks off the series where her own spiritual journey began, reliving her baptism and introducing us to her parents, Ann and Tony Lucy. She talks to parish priest and Catholic thinker Gerald Gleeson to try and find out how binding the contract was when her parents signed her up with God.

As a young theatre arts student in 1980s Perth, Judith's faith is diminishing rapidly. Dropping out of uni, she moves to Melbourne, becomes a stand-up comedian, abandons the church and finds a new religion - booze!

World-renowned psychic John Edward has made a living communicating with dead people. Having visited psychics in the past as she tried to make sense of her parents' deaths, Judith has an honest chat with John
about sceptics, what people are looking for when they go to his shows, and what happens when we die.

Like many people, Judith always thought that money and fame might fill a hole in her life. She asks whether fame or career success can fill a spiritual need as she chats to former Big Brother sensation Sara-Marie Fedele and to longtime friend and fellow comedian Frank Woodley.

When Judith discovered yoga, it literally changed her life. But is it just a cool way to get fit, or a genuine path to spiritual enlightenment? For answers, she gets crosslegged with a man who drives an orange kombi with the number plates 'OMMMM' - university lecturer, swami and yogi Phil Stevens, and pays a visit to her guru, Shandor Remete, the Adelaide-based, Hungarian-born founder of Shadow Yoga.

With her interest in Buddhism piqued, and her love of yoga firmly entrenched, Judith travels to India to immerse herself in the birthplace of both of those things. She discovers that religion and spirituality in India are like the Kardashian family in the West - you just can't avoid them.
