The Myths That Make Us

In this episode, we break down the incredible new documentary, Stutz, created by Jonah Hill. We came across this documentary a couple weeks ago and were both completely blown away. A refreshing approach to psychotherapy full of actionable tools that can immediately be applied to your life. Just watch it.    We unpack the tools and concepts from the documentary that had the deepest impact on us; Cultivating your life force, increasing your upper limit, and dancing with Part X. We also deepen our understanding of shame and trauma in real time with some tree metaphors… cause we love trees. And we love you.   Erick also talks about what’s in store for FFS in 2023.

In this episode, Erick sat down with Melissa Stangl and Sylvia Bringas from Soltara Healing Center to riff about the power of peak experiences, how they demand you to break your old stories, and the process of integration. They also dive into how we can balance our relationship with social media and use it as a tool for expansion. On that note, Melissa and Sylvia have co-founded an incredible online community called The Maloca. You can learn more about The Maloca below.   Melissa Stangl is the Co-Founder and COO of Soltara Healing Center and the Co-Founder of The Maloca. After spending years working in scientific labs and corporate offices, Melissa realized the healing and transformative potential of working responsibly with psychedelics and plant medicine. In 2015, she consciously chose to leave Corporate America and moved to live and work in the Amazon jungle. Melissa has since used her background in engineering, science, and management to help advance the plant medicine and psychedelic movements – first by helping run a top-rated ayahuasca center in Peru, and now as Founding Partner and COO for Soltara Healing Center, a Shipibo-led ayahuasca center in Costa Rica, with a focus on integration.   Sylvia Bringas is the Co-Founder of The Maloca. She is also a trauma-informed and initiated spiritual worker helping highly sensitive people navigate the complexities of a neurotypical world. She helps individuals reclaim their sensitivities to re-mystify their lives and live vitally alive–mind, body, and spirit. Her interests, connection, and natural aptitude in nature, art, and myths captivated her at a young age. They imprinted within her perception and felt understanding that there is more to life than what we perceive with our mind. And she is dedicated to using these skills to facilitate healing for all those courageously walking the path   Instagram | @sylviabringas_   As always, this episode is brought to you by my newsletter and my journaling course   Check out The Dharma Journal   Soltara Healing Center Website: https://soltara.co Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/soltarahealingcenter/   The Maloca Community Platform Website: https://themaloca.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.maloca/   More details and a detailed description of the Maloca are below   Soltara Healing Center Website: https://soltara.co Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/soltarahealingcenter/   The Maloca Community Platform Website: https://themaloca.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.maloca/     Books Mentioned in the Intro: The Sandman - Neil Gaiman American Gods - Neil Gaiman   Connect with Erick Godsey: Website | https://www.erickgodsey.com/ Instagram |@erickgodsey Twitter | @ErickGodsey LinkTree | https://linktr.ee/ErickGodsey     Sign up for my weekly Newsletter | https://www.erickgodsey.com/     Subscribe to The Myths That Make Us: Itunes | https://apple.co/2Je6RG4 Stitcher | https://bit.ly/2TbivRD Spotify | https://spoti.fi/2XZMakj     Meet us in The Maloca!   The Maloca is an inclusive community gathering space centered around you.

This week we have my good friend Hayden Mora on the show. I met Hayden through Fit For Service and wanted to bring him on to talk about how we can contend with ideas we don’t agree with in good faith. In this episode, we lay the ground work for having difficult conversations with people we disagree with, and we walk through an example of what one of these conversations might look like.   A quote from Hayden’s recent article on Medium sums our conversation up perfectly…   “I’m not suggesting we water down our truths, if anything, I think we need to bring fuller, more nuanced, more vulnerable versions of our truth to one another. I am arguing though - that we must find ways in which we do not allow our passion and conviction for creating a more beautiful world - to be a part and parcel of a process in which we undermine the humanity of those who disagree about what that world could be.”   You can find the full article here     As always, this episode is brought to you by my newsletter and my journaling course   Check out The Dharma Journal   Connect with Hayden Mora Instagram | @haydenjlmora Medium | Our Future Depends on Each of Us and One Another: How We Must Find A Way to Talk Across Difference from Queers to QANON.   Connect with Erick Godsey: Website | https://www.erickgodsey.com/ Instagram |@erickgodsey Twitter | @ErickGodsey LinkTree | https://linktr.ee/ErickGodsey     Sign up for my weekly Newsletter |  https://www.erickgodsey.com/     Subscribe to The Myths That Make Us: Itunes | https://apple.co/2Je6RG4 Stitcher | https://bit.ly/2TbivRD Spotify | https://spoti.fi/2XZMakj
