How to nurture your microbiome’s power: Food, dreams & community - Richard Nikoley

This week’s show is with Richard Nikoley. Richard was born and raised in Reno, Nevada, the son of a German immigrant. He attended a private, church-run high school before moving on to Tennessee Temple University in Chattanooga for his first year of college. He later transferred to Oregon State University, where he graduated in 1984 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, along with minors in mathematics/computer science and naval science. During his time at OSU, he was a member of the NROTC unit and was commissioned as a Surface Warfare Officer (SWO) in the U.S. Navy upon graduation. Richard’s naval career began with eight months of training in San Diego, California, followed by a deployment to Yokosuka, Japan. There, he served on the USS REEVES (CG-24) from 1984 to 1987 in various roles, including Assistant Missiles Officer, First Lieutenant, and Electrical Officer. He then joined the U.S. SEVENTH FLEET aboard the USS BLUE RIDGE (LCC-19) from 1988 to 1989, managing a substantial fuel budget as Assistant Fleet Scheduling Officer and Assistant Logistics Officer. After five years in Japan, Richard moved to Monterey, California, to study French at the Defense Language Institute. This led to an exchange officer position with the French Navy from 1989 to 1992, where he served as Navigator on the FNS COLBERT (C 611) and FNS DUQUESNE (D 603). He left the Navy in 1992 and returned to the San Francisco Bay Area. In 1993, Richard founded a company that grew significantly over a 20-year period. Although he was married for much of that time, since 2019, he and his former spouse have maintained a friendly relationship while pursuing separate lifestyles. Since January 2020, Richard has been living in Thailand as an unintended expat. Initially planning to be digital and nomadic, he decided to settle more permanently due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During this time, he built a house in a rural province and wrote extensively about COVID-19, masks, lockdowns, and global drug trials - earning recognition for his insights. Currently, Richard manages multiple income streams while engaging in various creative pursuits. He writes, makes videos, takes long walks, swims and snorkels in the tropical ocean, rides a motorcycle without a helmet, and enjoys cooking and eating exquisite food. A self-proclaimed gym junkie and honorary "Bro," Richard is known for his clever and well-crafted writing. In this show, Richard and Lian explore the intricate connections between community, diet, and the microbiome, weaving together science, storytelling, and spirituality. They delve into how inner and outer communities shape human experience and how ancestral diets can connect us to the wisdom of the past. They reflect on the distortions of industrial society, the transformative power of dietary choices, a shamanic perspective on consumption and well-being, and the mysterious interplay between nutrition and our psyche. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: The microbiome is more than a physical system - it’s a dynamic ecosystem influenced by diet, community, and the stories we tell about ourselves. Understanding and honouring this interplay can lead to profound transformation. By adopting practices, like eating more fibre and cooking and cooling starchy foods for resistant starch, we can support gut health and reconnect with natural ways of eating that shaped human evolution. What we eat can shape not only our physical health but also the content of our dreams, illuminating symbols for self discovery - which suggests a greater link between our food and our psyche than is generally discussed.

The power of lucid dreaming: Insight, transformation and cosmic perspective - Sarah Janes

This week’s show is with Sarah Janes. Author, researcher, curator, retreat/workshop facilitator and public speaker, Sarah Janes specialises in the ancient history and culture of dreaming and has been an enthusiastic lucid dreamer since childhood. Sarah is passionate about the potential of dreaming for physical, emotional, creative and spiritual upliftment, not just for individuals, but for culture and society. Sarah is co-director and curator of Dream Palace Athens, a symposium and deep-dreaming residency project in Greece. She is also the host of popular online lecture series Explorers Egyptology. Sarah has collaborated with Rupert Sheldrake and the British Pilgrimage Trust to reinvigorate the practice of dream incubation at sacred sites around the UK. Currently leading retreats to the ancient dream incubation sanctuaries of the Mediterranean, Sarah is now based between Hastings in England and Archaia Epidavros in the Peloponnese. Sarah’s book: Initiation into Dream Mysteries: Drinking from the Pool of Mnemosyne explores the history and culture of dreaming in the Western Esoteric Tradition and is available from all book sellers and on Audible. In this show, Sarah and Lian delve into the profound world of dreams and lucid dreaming, exploring how these altered states of consciousness shape our understanding of reality. They discuss Sarah’s lifelong passion for dreaming, the philosophical implications of lucidity, and the potential for personal growth and transformation within the dream realm. They explore the connection between lucid dreaming and hypnagogic states, highlight the transformative nature of these experiences, and share practical techniques for achieving lucidity. Together, they reflect on the role of ancient wisdom in dream practices, consider the cosmic perspective lucid dreaming provides, and emphasise the significance of memory and intention in shaping our dream experiences. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: Dreams offer a unique intersection of sleep and wakefulness, providing a space for insight and creativity that taps into our deepest desires and fears. Through lucid dreaming, we can actively engage with these elements for self discovery. Hypnagogic states, those transitional moments between wakefulness and sleep, can be used as a pathway into lucid dreaming, allowing us to consciously enter the dream realm. In this state, we are connected to ancient cultural practices that viewed dreams as essential tools for decision-making and self-understanding. Lucid dreaming is not simply a binary experience but can manifest in varying degrees of awareness - lucidity is a spectrum. By setting intentions, practicing memory recall, and recording dreams, we can deepen our understanding and appreciation of the dream world as a transformative and healing space.

Being the vessel: Opening to magic, transformation, and power - Aidan Wachter

This week’s show is with Aidan Wachter, an animist, author, and healer. Aidan has been involved in practical magic since the 1980s.  He is an animist and is deeply concerned with the effects of modern Western life-ways on the human animal, on both physical and spiritual levels.  Aidan views a living magical practice as a path to heal many of the problems we face today and a way of being that is intrinsic to the creatures we are. He is the author of Six Ways: Approaches & Entries to Practical Magic and Weaving Fate: Hypersigils, Changing the Past & Telling True Lies, and Changeling: A Book Of Qualities. In this episode, Aidan and Lian explore the concept of vessels in magic and witchcraft - and especially vessels for self-discovery and transformation. Aidan reveals lessons from a significant breakdown - which he sees now was catalysed by the very work of his book Changeling - which is about this notion of vessels. They discuss the fluid nature of identity, examine the qualities that define a witch, and consider the role of power in personal growth and the impact of reclaiming our energy from misaligned places. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: A vessel isn’t just a container—it’s a channel that holds and directs energy, shaping the flow of our lives and the choices that define us. What we choose to hold within shapes our identity and anchors us in life. Power, often viewed as corrupting, becomes transformative when consciously claimed. For a witch, power is an inner resource to guide growth, create change, and hold responsibility. Honouring our ancestors roots us in a lineage that offers wisdom, invites healing across generations, and strengthens our connection to purpose.

Echoes of the soul: Memory’s role in identity, personal growth & awakening - Anthony Metivier

This week’s show is with Anthony Metivier. Anthony is the founder of the Magnetic Memory Method, a systematic, 21st Century approach to memorising foreign language vocabulary, names, music, poetry and much more in ways that are easy, elegant, effective and fun. In this show, Anthony and Lian explore the profound themes of memory, identity, and spiritual practice. They delve into the intricate nature of memory, exploring its definitions, implications, and the philosophical questions surrounding it. Anthony shares his fascination with memory science, the various types of memory, and the metaphorical engines that contribute to our experiences. They discuss the limitations of language and metaphors in understanding memory, the relationship between memory and consciousness, and the idea of reincarnation through language and memory. The conversation highlights the complexity of memory as both a scientific and philosophical topic, emphasising the importance of questioning and exploring rather than seizing definitive answers. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: Memory is often overlooked in spiritual discussions despite its significance, and yet, it is a powerfully transformative process that shapes both personal identity and our understanding of existence, offering profound insights when explored scientifically, philosophically and spiritually. Techniques like the memorisation of spiritual texts and conscious engagement with myths can deepen our awareness and connection to the wisdom in these texts and stories in potent ways. Philosophical inquiries into memory can reveal hidden aspects of the self, supporting healing and maybe even awakening through the exploration of the role of implicit memory and identity.

Anxiety: How to journey with it in a spiritual way - Sasha Archer

This week’s show is with Sasha Archer. Sasha is a hands-on healer and creatrix based in Leicestershire, UK. For over a decade, she worked as a footwear designer for the UK high street, until her anxiety led her down a different path. As she underwent her own healing journey and delved deeper into working with spirit, she uncovered more of the unknown than she was prepared for. Seeking a mentor and guidance, she was fortunate to be awarded a bursary by Jez Hughes of Second Sight healing, allowing her to pursue her training as a shamanic practitioner. After completing the three-year course in 2023, she began offering individual and group healing sessions, integrating her training, personal healing journey, and the wisdom imparted by her guides. Recently, Sasha took part in the Hay House Diverse Wisdom writing initiative, collaborating with renowned authors to share her book idea and develop a book proposal. She’s currently writing a book that supports readers in their healing journey, helping them to reclaim their personal power so they can live a radiant and authentic life.  In this show, Sasha and Lian explored Sasha’s profound journey of understanding and healing anxiety through earth-based spirituality. Sasha reflects on her early experiences with anxiety, the impact it had on her life, and the pivotal moments that led her to explore healing beyond the mainstream. They discuss the significance of intuition and synchronicity, reflect on the healing power of the earth, and emphasise the importance of inclusivity and accessibility in healing practices. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: As Sasha’s story shows… anxiety can be understood and worked with, not just overcome. Sasha's intuitive connection to the earth helped her reclaim her power - and this is true for almost all of us. We often receive undeniable signs from spirit that can guide us… we need to learn to trust those synchronicities and follow them.

Featured in Forbes, Rolling Stone, and the BBC's Worklife, he pioneers the convergence of psychedelics, personal transformation, and professional success. Paul empowers leaders, creatives, and pioneers to leverage psychedelics for profound personal and professional growth. Paul's expertise also extends to microdosing, a trend gaining momentum. He authored "Mastering Microdosing," a comprehensive guide that seamlessly blends research and anecdotes. It's a transformative resource for leaders, creatives, and healers. He views psychedelics as refined skills cultivated through mentorship, exploration, and purposeful use—critical for humanity's ongoing evolution. As the longest-standing and youngest entrepreneur in this field, Paul's focus on merging psychedelics with professional development is evident in his transformative training program Psychedelic Coaching Institute The program caters to individuals who seek to integrate their psychedelic experiences into their business practices, all under the guidance of one of the industry’s most trusted leaders. In this show, Paul and Lian explore the complex landscape of psychedelics, discussing personal journeys, the challenges of censorship, and the spiritual awakening that can accompany the use of these substances. They delve into the historical context of psychedelics, the importance of reclaiming ancient practices, and the future prospects for legalisation and acceptance in society. They reflect on the need for a balanced approach to psychedelics, advocating for microdosing as a means to navigate the current challenges while seeding a deeper understanding of the spiritual potential of these substances. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: Many people are feeling a deep calling towards psychedelics, and at the same time, censorship and legal challenges are increasing in the psychedelic space, and are part of the landscape to navigate. The journey of psychedelics is intertwined with personal and collective evolution - as ever, what’s most personal is most universal. As much as there is a trend to medicalise and psychologise psychedelics, it’s important to remember that at their heart - they open us to the spiritual.

Medicine Stories: How to go from dark depression to deeply rooted - Janet Hill

This week’s show is with Janet Hill. Janet is a modern day medicine woman, a teacher of ancient ways and a bridge between the worlds.  Janet is deeply attuned to the overwhelming sense of unease that is part of modern life - especially for mothers. Her work is devoted to helping mums make profound changes in their lives by learning how to access support from nature, spirit, and ancestral wisdom. The Rooted Mother is the name of Janet’s business, but it also describes her philosophy and way of being in the world. Through this work, she guides mothers through a soul journey of deep transformation so they can access deep nourishment to become the mothers they long to be. Currently, Janet offers her healing work to women on their mothering journey through tarot ceremonies, healings, and individual coaching.  Janet is the co-creator of The Cherished Mother, where Kate and Janet guide women on a devotional healing journey through their wounds, fears and longings  to wholeness. In this show, Janet and Lian explored the profound journey of transformation from a depressed and fearful accountant to adeeply rooted medicine woman, that Janet has undergone over the past four years with Be Mythical. They discuss the initial fears and darkness Janet faced, particularly surrounding her calling to become a coach and then a shamanic healer, and how, as she began to uncover her patterns, she gained a deeper understanding of herself. The conversation delves into the impact of significant losses in Janet's life, her understanding of spirituality, her shamanic sickness, and how her wounds have shaped her ability to heal others. They also touch on the importance of motherhood and the connection to the earth and the elements in healing, emphasising the need for deeper spiritual connections in today's world - for all of us, not just those of here to guide and heal others. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: Descending into our deepest wounds and facing our fears can lead to profound understanding and healing. The darkness we fear can become our greatest teacher. As Janet’s story shows, an echo of the archetype of the Wounder Healer, understanding one's own wounds is often essential for healing others. Discovering and embracing our unique path can be the only way to self-gnosis and healing for some of us - as was the case for Janet.

The true Eve: How to 'transgress' into your power - Vanya Leilani

This week’s show is with Vanya Leilani. Vanya is a depth psychologist, writer, teacher and storyteller. She has spent decades exploring the threshold where the external “shoulds” in our lives encounter our own wild knowing and un-knowing. She is passionate about helping us cultivate deeper friendship with our own lives as we learn to live from nature, rather than from obedience to the status quo. She devotes herself to this work through individual accompaniment, sacred gatherings, storytelling, teaching, and writing.    Vanya holds a PhD in Depth Psychology with emphasis in Jungian and Archetypal Studies. She has also completed a certificate training intensive with Dr Clarissa Pinkola Estes and  has served as an adjunct professor at Pacifica Graduate Institute teaching on the creative power of archetypes.   Vanya was born and raised in southeastern Brazil and currently lives in the woods of the Pacific Northwest of the United States, where she tends to the land and many animals.  'The Flesh and the Fruit: Remembering Eve and the Power of Creative Transgression' by Vanya Leilani will launch on October 11th 2024 with pre-orders available from the webshop. Vanya Leilani remembers the story of Eve in the Garden of Eden, not only exposing the harmful ways it has been used, but more importantly, uncovering what is hidden in this story: the Goddess in the Garden, along with her ways of being and knowing. In this conversation, Lian and Vanya explore the archetype of Eve, challenging traditional narratives that have painted her as a symbol of guilt and shame. They discuss the cultural implications of Eve's story, the importance of reclaiming her as a figure of empowerment, and the concept of transgression as a means to sovereignty. Vanya shares her personal journey of connecting with Eve, emphasising the need for women to embrace their desires and step beyond societal boundaries. This episode is a call to recognise and reclaim Eve's medicine, which lies in her duality of carrying both our wounds and our healing. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: Eve is often misrepresented as a symbol of guilt and shame, and the narrative around her has profound implications, both collectively and personally, and both consciously and subconsciously, regardless of our background. Reclaiming Eve is perhaps essential for women's empowerment, allowing us to question the cultural narratives that shape our understanding of femininity and spirituality. Eve's medicinal story invites us to step beyond cultural boundaries, to remember our true selves and our spiritual sovereignty.
