Be Mythical How to consciously create your business as a deep spiritual practice - Ramon Castellanos
This week's show is with Ramon Castellanos. Ramon is the author of the book “The Ancestral Now”, as well as a teacher and facilitator of health-craft, healing alchemy, and ancestral reconnection.
This week's show is with Ramon Castellanos. Ramon was raised in a household devoted to a profound magical tradition stemming from the African Diaspora. Hence, his magical training started in early childhood.
Ramon grew up in a household devoted to shamanic traditions connected to the African Diaspora, where he was initiated, and taught how to work with magic from a very young age. As a teenager, he underwent a severe spiritual crisis, spontaneous Kundalini awakening, and later, multiple physical illnesses. He spent ten years living and working at a wolf sanctuary in the Zuni mountains of New Mexico, where his experience of the wilderness and wild animals helped shape his view of the human condition. His own healing led him to work closely with multiple spiritual teachers and he now holds instructor-ship capacity in a variety of systems of internal alchemy. He is an instructor of several energetic systems including, Primordial Alchemy, The Kundalini Awakening Process, and Eight Extraordinary Vessels qigong.
In this conversation, Ramon and I explored our culture’s ideas about business and money, what many of us are being called to in terms of understanding our role in those conditioned ideas that are so different to our cultural heritage, and how we can create our businesses more intentionally and with gnosis of the spiritual reality underpinning all of it.
We’d love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below or share in our fb group.
What you’ll learn from this episode:-
We have very little idea of true community in our modern culture, raised as we have been in our own ‘bordered farms’, it’s no wonder we approach business from such a fearful, individualistic perspective.
-
I loved the honesty with which Ramon spoke of his pain about the way he would be left to suffer if he could no longer be productive, and how he can now see this has driven him to participate in modern business systems the way he has - this is the reality for almost all of us, if we are to be truly honest with ourselves.
-
With compassion and devotion to doing the deepest work, we can create something that honours our innate interconnection with everything in a modern context - if you’re listening to this conversation and feel resonance with what we spoke about then perhaps you’re meant to be part of that creation.
