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!

Working as healer and guide in the emerging psychedelic landscape - Frederica Helmiere

This week's show is with Frederica Helmiere. Frederica Helmiere is a complexity enthusiast and an aficionado of transformational learning experiences. Frederica currently serves as Director of the Synthesis Institute's Psychedelic Practitioner Training program. Prior to this, she served as Director of Education at Spiritual Directors International, designing online learning experiences for advanced spiritual professionals. In the past she has served as a Peace Corps volunteer, a global interfaith peacebuilder, a bike mechanic, log cabin builder, and faculty at the University of Washington and Seattle University. Fascinated by the ways that consciousness, worldviews and discourses change and expand, she has spent the past twenty years exploring the tools available to respond to civilizational crises, especially the modern West's loss of the sacred. Frederica holds masters degrees from Yale Divinity School and the Yale School of the Environment, and a BA from Dartmouth College in Religion & Environmental studies. She lives in Seattle with her husband and daughters. In this conversation, Frederica and I explored education and training for psychedelic practitioners in the emerging psychedelic landscape, the different ways we can learn a craft, the notion of ‘calling’, and the readiness to practice. 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: I love what Frederica spoke about in terms of the different ways of knowing: somatic/embodied, cognitive, sacred and relational. We so heavily prize cognitive knowing in the modern culture and yet it clearly is only one way, not the only way. The practices of healing and guiding are thousands of years old, and whilst there very much can be a place for formal training and accreditation, lived experience over many years is something that also has deep value - we can consciously bring both together Whilst we can think that all we need is a certificate of accreditation, I love what Frederica said about the gnosis of readiness to serve can come directly from Spirit or from our community recognising that we have a much-needed skill to offer.

She is a transformative coach, speaker and blogger, specializing in natural approaches to midlife women's health. Tania has spent years researching what causes and what can relieve symptoms associated with perimenopause and menopause. She became free of her own physical and emotional symptoms through insight alone. Tania set up The Wiser Woman project in 2015 to help women transform their experience of midlife change. Through her coaching, writing and teaching, Tania focuses on connecting women to the innate brilliance of their bodies, having seen that healing occurs with ease when we relax into the divine intelligence within. In this conversation, Lian and Tania explored the topic of the powerful rite of passage provided by menopause and peri-menopause, what’s in the way of women embracing it in that way, and the changes that Tania’s witnessed in the UK in particular recently. 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: Tania shared the recent changes she’s seen in the UK in particular, in which menopause is being increasingly pathologised and medicated as the norm, this flies in the face of the latest research that many other countries are aligning with The changes the menopause brings are an important rite of passage that initiates women into the elderhood - their wise woman, we need these wise women in our communities I loved Tania’s Medusa story, all of us have archetypes that can guide and support our embodiment and expression of what’s true for us Resources and stuff that we spoke about: Tania’s Website: https://www.thewiserwoman.com/ Follow her in Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tania.elfersy/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/4TheWiserWoman Thank you for listening!

The unusual path to non-dual awakening via brain entrainment and psychedelics - Morgan O. Smith

This week's show is with Morgan O. Smith. Morgan O. Smith is a renowned meditation instructor and spiritual teacher, who experienced a life-altering spiritual awakening in 2008 that led him to establish Yinnergy Meditation. This initiative focuses on deep brainwave entrainment to foster emotional, mental, and spiritual growth. Yinnergy has been embraced by various institutions, including non-profits, schools, and healthcare centers, particularly in marginalized communities. Morgan's upcoming book, Bodhi in the Brain, explores the connection between meditation and neuroscience. Honored with numerous accolades for his dedication, Morgan has collaborated with institutions such as the Institute of Noetic Sciences and has presented at prestigious conferences like the 37th Annual ICR Conference. He has also been featured on podcasts, including "Guru Viking" with Steve James. Before his spiritual journey, Morgan enjoyed a successful career as a comedy writer, stand-up comedian, and television personality, most notably co-hosting the award-winning show "Buzz." Sharing the stage with famous comedians and appearing in various television shows, indie films, and documentaries, Morgan's insights even inspired Arian Herbert's book, "The God Behind The God.” In this conversation, we explored Morgan’s journey to non-dual awakening, his fascinating work with brainwave entrainment and psychedelics, and the work he now does with young people. 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: Morgan’s story shows how life will take us on the journey for us, with synchronicities and seemingly random opportunities, and past skills leading the way I found Morgan’s experiments with different psychedelics and brain entrainment absolutely fascinating - a melding of ancient and modern technologies Whether you resonate with the use of psychedelics or brainwave entrainment or not, perhaps this episode will open up more possibilities for you to heal and awaken.
