Why do some people have their desires realised and others don't? What's at play for someone repeating the same pattern over and over and over again that doesn't look to be in service to them or anyone else? Why might we have resistance to ritual and ceremony and what real difference does ritual and ceremony make in our lives and to living more fully and actualising our gifts?

This week's show is with Daniel Pinchbeck. Daniel Pinchbeck is the New York Times bestselling author of Breaking Open the Head, 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl, How Soon Is Now, and When Plants Dream (with Sophia Roklhin). He hosted the talk show Mind Shift on Gaia TV and was featured in the 2010 documentary, 2012: Time for Change. He has written for many publications including The New York Times Magazine, Rolling Stone, Wired, Dazed & Confused, Purple, and ArtForum. He is the director of Liminal.news, an online course platform, and publishes a regular newsletter, Danielpinchbeck.substack.com . In this conversation, Daniel and I explored the fascinating topic of DMT, (N, N-Dimethyltryptamine) also known as the Spirit Molecule. We covered what DMT is, its history and research that's been done about it, and how Daniel sees its role in human consciousness and the challenges of the world today. 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: Daniel described the two schools of thought around the use of psychedelics, one ceremonial and one purely focused on their medical use, given the wider benefits of modern humans reclaiming our connection to nature and to the ancient practice of ceremony and ritual, if you're listening to this show then you don't need to choose between those options - you can have both! I loved what Daniel said about the ways that different spiritual traditions have practices such as darkness immersion and meditation that open humans to the kinds of experiences that taking DMT can create... ultimately all of these practices appear to be giving us an experience of reality beyond that of our ordinary human consciousness There's a renaissance in the use of DMT in its various forms happening now and we're discovering uses and benefits in all kinds of fields - as Daniel said, this could be akin to the period in which we discovered electricity and how to harness it Resources and stuff that we spoke about Daniel's Official Newsletter   Thank you for listening!

This week's show is with Steve Sims. Quoted as “The Real Life Wizard of Oz" by Forbes and Entrepreneur Magazine, Steve Sims is a best selling Author of 'Bluefishing: The Art of Making Things Happen, sought-after coach', top-rated speaker in the US speaker after keynoting at a variety of networks, groups and associations as well as the Pentagon and Harvard – twice. He is the founder and CEO of the luxury concierge service Bluefish.  He's someone who has worked with Sir Elton John and Elon Musk, sent people down to see the wreck of the Titanic on the sea bed and managed to get the museum in Florence, Italy that houses the most famous sculpture on Earth, The Statue of David, to shut down in order to host a private dinner for his client at the foot of the statue with Andrea Bocelli serenading them while they ate their pasta. In this show, we explored the question: what would you create if you weren't afraid of being laughed at? We spoke about cancel culture, the lack of true conversation, how we kill our dreams when people mock us - and why those people are rarely the ones to take notice of. And lastly, why and how you can go for stupid! 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: I loved what Steve said about needing to have the conversation with ourselves about our dreams first - often we're the first person to mock ourselves, instead how about we become the first person to acknowledge ourselves for our dream? People will almost certain laugh at you, especially to begin with, the choice is whether to take notice of them or to listen to the people whose opinion you respect Steve's car analogy was a great one! I wonder what lives we'd create if we made it natural for us to go for stupid?

This week's show is with Jez Hughes. Jez is a British shaman, having studied intensively the path of shamanism for 30 years. His healing journey began when, as a teenager, he experienced a fit that propelled him into an altered state of consciousness. It took a long time to integrate that experience and find healing for the physical and mental disturbances it initiated. This journey that he now understands as a shamanic one lasted for around 17 years and took him through healing and spiritual traditions across the earth until he finally came home to shamanism and found practical methods to cure himself. He has studied with various teachers and indigenous elders across the world. Jez's work has featured in the national press, as well as TV and radio and magazines including Sacred Hoop, Natural Health, Kindred Spirit and Soul & Spirit. His first book, The Heart of Life – Shamanic Initiation and Healing in the Modern World, was published in 2015 and his new book The Wisdom of Mental Illness – Shamanism, Mental Health and the Renewal of the World was published by Watkins in 2021. Jez’s passion is empowering people to reawaken their ancestors, the land where they reside and their spiritual heritages to heal the relationship between the human and natural world. In this conversation, Jez and I explored the practice of making offerings as part of a relationship and conversation with Spirit - what offerings are, the benefits of making them, and how we can begin or deepen that practice. 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: There are two important levels to making offerings: As a thank you and giving back when we take so much As a way of slowing progress so we don't make things so quickly that we take at a rate that throws things out of balance Making offerings is an embodied conversation with Spirit, it takes it out of our heads and into life When we give, we also give back to ourselves, we know our place in the universe and that we're not alone Resources and stuff that we spoke about Jez's Official Website: Second Sight Healing Jez's Book: The Heart of Life – Shamanic Initiation and Healing in the Modern World The Wisdom of Mental Illness – Shamanism, Mental Health and the Renewal of the World Follow Jez's in Social Media Facebook Account Facebook Page Twitter Youtube Channel Thank you for listening!

This week's show is with Susan Guner. Susan is a trained, somatic, trauma-informed holistic psychotherapist with a mindfulness-based approach grounded in Transpersonal Psychology that focuses on holistic perspective through introspection, insight, and compassionate self exploration to increase self-awareness, allowing the integration of the mind, body and spirit aspects of human experience in personal growth and development. In this show, Susan and Lian explored psychedelic medicines as an alternative path to treating cancer and its causes. Susan's understanding of the research that's been done in this area and her own experience of supporting people with cancer. When we agree to record on this topic, Susan and I both knew it would be an edge, cancer is a very sensitive subject and the angle we’re exploring isn’t exactly mainstream, added to which modern understanding and research around using psychedelics in this way is very nascent. We knew there could be some things that were shared that could be triggering, and also there might be things that were shared now that could turn out to be different in time, with more experience and knowledge.  Despite this, we agreed that we wanted to do record this now anyway as it felt so necessary and important to get this knowledge out there. We did so and went there fully and openly, without much in the way of caveats which would have made the conversation safer and more palatable but would have meant the message was diluted. I understand that the way we spoke could come across as insensitive and so it feels important to say that we are coming from deep compassion and the strong intention for this episode to be as serving as possible to those with cancer. 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: We are discovering that psychedelic medicines appear to be a match for cancer, among other things - this is a reclamation of ancient gnosis, knowing we can work with the natural world to find the match between illness and medicine in this way The medicine has the intelligence to go where it needs to and work at the necessary level - Susan's seen that with cancer, it's mainly physical initially, not psychological It's important to recognise that this is about creating a relationship with the medicines, seeing them as allies and entering into a reciprocal, honouring relationship Resources and stuff that we spoke about: Susan Guner's Official Website: Psychedelic Conversations LinkedIn Susan Guner's social media accounts you might want to follow: Instagram Twitter Facebook YouTube Podcast Blog Thank you for listening!

This week's show is with John Patrick Morgan. John Patrick is a Philosopher and Champion for Being whose life purpose is to serve the one person in front of him, right here and right now. To see them fully, to create who they are and to make a meaningful difference for them honestly and completely. He leads a team of Creating Champions who teach, coach, and guide thousands of entrepreneurs and artists in being more free, loving, and powerful. By learning and embodying the Creating perspective, their clients achieve a union of outcomes in spiritual growth, material success, and social impact. The foundation of John Patrick Morgan’s role as a philosopher, teacher, and guide, is his being a real-world practitioner. He walks his talk, lives what he teaches, and has a genuine and powerful commitment to creating everybody. Post his formal studies in Physics and Mathematics, John Patrick built multiple small businesses (including one from a laptop and a backpack before the term ‘digital nomad’ existed), developed real estate, traveled the world for years on end, coached human rights leaders, recorded albums & toured with his band, created a kids library in Cambodia, learned to scuba dive & pilot gliders, published writing and photography, competed as a black belt & triathlete, trained with Buddhist monks in India, cycled toured for months and many other adventures. In recent years, his adventures have turned inward as his family came to be. He and his wife now reside with their two young boys in the countryside at 4000′ on a mountain in Maui. Beyond his daily work with clients, he has been invited to share his ideas and spirit on numerous stages. (TEDx, Global Citizens Forum, BBC & SkyTV, YES Group, Interesting Talks London, InsideOut Movement, METal International, educational institutions, etc.) At a private event, attended by many of the world’s billionaires, JP was invited to speak on creating a world world without borders. At the University of Cambridge, he was the subject of a covert study between the psychology and business departments where researchers sought to understand the impact of his state of being. In this conversation, John Patrick and I explored the archetype of the King - what he means to each of us, how and why JP has been working with him and what doing so has created so far in his life. 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: As JP shared, we can often have wounds around powerful archetypes like the King and the Queen, bringing those wounds and the truth of the archetypes into awareness can be deeply healing and ultimately, create a portal to expansion into deeper aspects of ourselves The King provides a level of elevation, where a man embodying him can see the impersonal truth of things and the vast array of possibilities available to him, and I loved how JP described moving between that elevation and then back into the reality of his physical body, where some things are not possible or aligned but other things are Lastly, I loved hearing JP speak of the new level of power, depth and decisiveness that's become embodied in him as he's been working with the King, he said "I feel like my spine is taller and straighter. Maybe I've grown an inch. I don't know. My voice has deepened and continues to deepen. I am shocked at how simple things can be and how much quicker things can move when the King is expressed, how he's been taking action." whilst the call to an archetype goes way beyond material results, it still is beautiful to know how our lives can be enriched in doing so.
