In this show, Lian and Caroline explored connecting to and working with our spirit guides and helpers (of all kinds), especially those of us here to serve others as healers, guides and teachers, what opens the doorways to this relationship and the devotion required, and lastly some fascinating wisdom about working with dragons in particular - which was illuminating for me personally as you’ll hear, I’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below. What you’ll learn from this episode: In order to connect to and hear our guides, we need to allow our minds to grow quiet - this could be forms of mindfulness and meditation or nature-based practices as we teach at Waking The Wild Sovereignty and synchronicity stood out to me specifically in relation to dragons but they really are essential to some degree to almost anyone working with spirit in service to others The three phases we spoke about which Caroline likened to Maiden, Mother and Crone, are helpful to be aware of as it shows that we are always guided according to where we are on our path and our specific needs according to the work we’re here to do with others Resources and stuff that we spoke about Caroline’s Website Follow Caroline in her social media: Facebook: Caroline The Original Dragon Lady Instagram: @caroline_original_dragon_lady Thank you for listening!

How to journey with shamanic sickness and heed the call as a healer - 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. 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 the ancient function and archetype of the shaman, what it means in a modern context, shamanic sickness, and individualism and collectivism. 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: As Ramon and my experiences with shamanic sickness showed - they can vary from person to person but will tend to have similar themes of death or near-death, feelings of going crazy, and physical sickness of some kind - and as Ramon said, our culture has no understanding of any of this, which means we suffer the lack of context and meaning Whilst we lack true community in our culture, the role of the shaman only makes sense within a community so those of us called to that function are maybe also called to redream what the role of shaman and community means in this context As we devote to individuation - uniting with our own unique souls - we are able to understand our role in the whole Resources and stuff that we spoke about: Ramon’s book “The Ancestral Now” Ancestral Counseling Beyond Health Coaching Thank you for listening!

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.

How to become guardians: Why healing the land can heal our hearts - Mary Reynolds
This week's show is with Mary Reynolds. Mary Reynolds is an accomplished landscape designer who gained international recognition after debuting at the Chelsea flower show in 2002. Her inspiring story was featured in the 2016 film "Dare to be Wild". In addition to being a bestselling author and occasional television presenter, she also founded "We are the ARK", a global movement aimed at promoting practical solutions for preserving the environment. Mary is also an advocate for safe and sustainable food production, and actively campaigns against harmful practices such as the use of pesticides, herbicides, GMOs, and fossil fuels. Despite her many accomplishments, Mary remains humble and is known to dabble in cooking. In this conversation, Mary and I explored the arking movement, why she sees its so necessary, what can get in the way of us going from gardeners to guardians, the small changes we can all make to be part of healing the land, and how ultimately it’s healing ourselves. 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: Arking is something tangible and accessible that we can all do in some way, rather than waiting for someone or something else to create the solution, and if enoigh of us do it it could create a tipping point in consciousness As we support the land to heal, it will provide a reflection of and support our own healing in ways that are truly magical We can begin small and simply by stopping the use of chemicals, creating small passageways between our garden and surrounding land, turning land back to nature, removing non-native species, and watching and waiting.

How to create a relationship with the Child and learn the true extent of our conditioning - William Apple
This week's show is with William Apple. William Apple is a Psychological and Spiritual Mentor, as well as a Psychodynamic Coach. The Foundation of his Work is rooted in Carl Jung’s Concept of “Individuation”, and takes a new approach towards fostering a conscious relationship with that Process by quantifying a Depth Psychological and Psychoanalytic approach to the Inner Child as a Precursor to Shadow Work. He is Certified in CBT, DBT, ACT, IFS, and Polyvagal Theory, and his Inner Child Work is strongly influenced by Alice Miller, D.W. Winnicott, Jacque Lacan, Marion Woodman, Magda Gerber, Bell Hooks, and many others. In this conversation, William and I explored the unfolding journey of creating a relationship with the inner child, how confronting it can feel to see how much of our life has been created from the wounding of the child, and how we can be with that in an accepting and accountable way, and lastly and maybe surprisingly, given what a gloomy picture I may have just painted - how it can be a beautiful and playful experience! 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: The inner child is all the wounded parts of us that have been fractured through conditioning and the parts of us that have been created as coping mechanisms as a result The fish metaphor that arose is one that I think is very helpful in allowing us to see the depths of the conditioning - as William said “We’ve been led to believe we’re fish!” I loved what William said about how those of us who have been in the work for many years, it’s not been a waste of time - it’s actually a map back to ourselves if we look at the work and our fantasies about it, it can reveal so much about our wounds. We can continue doing that work, with awareness and actually enjoying the play!
