Transformational conversations with people whose darkest times have helped them to escape the matrix and evolve. Hosted by Dylan Charles, editor of Waking Times, perspectives on this show are shamanic, psychedelic, open-minded, and intentionally apolitical.
In this episode I had the pleasure of talking with Steven Twohig of Mastering Change. He has a unique perspective on psychedelics and the plant medicine Ayahuasca, and is currently focused on psychedelic integration with an emphasis on shadow work. He is affiliated with Soul Quest Ayahuasca Church in Orland, FL, and I got a chance to ask him about some of the methods and modalities they use there that give contemporary Westerners access to the healing and transformational power of this ancient plant medicine.

In this episode of Battered Souls I speak with psychotherapist and healer Gerard Artesona. Gerard has a long history of working with ayahuasca, and uses these experiences to shape his perspective in his personal psychotherapy practice. We talked about his story of growing up in a somewhat dysfunctional family and feeling like an outsider, his work with clients, his perspectives on psychology, and how ayahuasca has changed his life.

In this episode I spoke with 10th generation Bwiti Shaman, Moughenda Mikala, who is the global steward of the ancient African medicine tradition of Iboga. I met Moughenda in 2013 and had the great honor of participating in a proper ceremony with him, and I find his wisdom and perspective on the value of life is invaluable for these times. It truly was an honor to speak with him. He lives and works in Gabon, Africa, and in this conversation we talk about what it really means to connect with your soul and how this experience can change the course of your life for the better.

I'm fascinated by the stories of people who've succumbed to the pressures and suggestions of this toxic world and have fallen down in life, only to get back up, take full responsibility for their comeback, and then go on to use their experience to be of positive influence to others. Biohacker, author, podcaster and businessman Jay Campbell and I recently met, and I was immediately inspired by his abundant energy, focus and commitment to improving the lives of people in many unique and powerful ways. I asked Jay to join me to talk about his story, and am honored that he shared some of these experiences for the first time on Battered Souls. He's a brilliant, motivating, and genuinely nice guy, and I hope you get a lot out of our conversation. Peace and Power, _Dylan Charles Jay's website.

In this episode of Battered Souls I had the extraordinary opportunity to speak with activist and survivor Ali Zeck. Ali is one of the most articulate and outspoken advocates for medical sovereignty and truth in our world today. As a survivor of psychological and psychiatric abuse, Ali spent decades being told she had a mental illness, and was on a devastating roller coaster of treatments, psychiatric wards, and psychotropic drugs that almost drove her to take her own life. When she finally found a doctor who told her she did not have a mental illness, it changed everything and empowered her to finally heal herself. Unfortunately her story is not that uncommon, so now Ali inspires others as a ferocious truth-seeker and truth-teller.

In this episode I talk with ethnobotanist and steward of the ancient Secoya Yagé tradition, Jonathon Miller-Weiseberger to talk about the experience of drinking sacred medicinal brew at Ocean Forest EcoLodge in Costa Rica. Jonathon is a good friend of mine, and my teacher of this cultural treasure, and also the author of Rainforest Medicine: Preserving Indigenous Science and Biodiversity in the Upper Amazon. Jonathon is hosting an upcoming retreat, April 25th - May 2nd, for those who are called to experience this powerfully transformative medicine in a proper jungle setting at one of the most incredible locations in the world. You can find out more about that HERE. I've spent a lot of time at Ocean Forest over the last 11 years, and I've witnessed first hand the amazing healing and connection that takes place here. Jonathon shares the medicine tradition (ayahuasca) of the Secoya, a small tribe in the upper Amazon, and we talk in detail about what it's like drink with proper Secoya elders in such a pristine and preserved location on the beach in the Osa Peninsula of Costa Rica. I cannot say enough good things about the experience he offers, and if you have any questions about whether or not it's right for you, please email me at editor@wakingtimes.com. _Dylan Charles Find Jonathon at: RainforestMedicine.net OceanForest.org Jona on Facebook ———————————— Get my weekly newsletter, ‘On The Path' … https://bit.ly/3jdhXL5 Access a FREE 15-minute coaching session… https://bit.ly/2XM2xFY Visit us on the web – Battered Souls Stop by Dylan's site – Waking Times ———————————— Support Battered Souls with Cryptos!

In this episode of Battered Souls, I speak with addiction success coach, Joe DiBianca, who helps people strike the root of their addictions by helping them to deeply understand why they do what they do. This is a fascinating topic for me, as addiction has been a recurring theme in my life, and certainly one of the main ways in which I have sabotaged my own success and happiness. Joe's approach is unique in that he looks at how the mind and body create a connection over traumatic events, then guides people to separate their feelings from the events that shaped them. In my experience this is a powerful way to develop emotional awareness, and makes letting go of the stories about feelings much easier, crating space for major change to come in. Joe has been a professional body builder, and shares his experience in this sport which could have killed him because it values looks over health, and causes athletes to engage in extremely dangerous dieting patterns and dehydration which wreaks havoc on the body.

In this episode of Battered Souls, I speak with health coach Ted Hanik about his journey of awakening from contemporary consciousness in America. Ted is an extraordinary coach and health expert who went through a very typical journey to rock bottom including living the normal American alpha male lifestyle of being consumed by corporate culture, over exercising, and tanking beer all the time. His insight on what it means to be truly healthy is of value today, and his story of awakening is so familiar to many of us. You can reach Ted Hanik on Facebook, HERE. Vist Ted's website, HERE.

In this episode Dylan is joined by Qigong master and author, Dr. Roger Jahnke. In the midst of a pandemic public health officials are usurping greater power over the individual to mandate medical procedures, and a discussion about awakening the body's natural healer within is more important than ever. The greatest healer of all is within us, and costs nothing. Dr. Jahnke brings a lifetime of study in Chinese medicine, Qigong, and Tai Chi to Battered Souls, and his wisdom and insight is medicine for all. This was the first time I met and spoke with Dr. Jahnke, and was immediately impressed with his kindness, sense of humor and commitment to truth and natural health.

In this episode, Dylan is joined by best-selling author and healer, Sol Luckman. A longtime researcher of shamanism and spirituality, Sol Luckman is an iconoclastic psychonaut devoted to exploring and exposing the truth about human history and potential—wherever that might lead. His new novel, CALI THE DESTROYER, Finalist in both the New Age and Visionary categories of the 2021 International Book Awards, is a page-turner of a sci-fi tale set in an Orwellian future seeded in the dystopian presents that radically rewrites Gnosticism as well as the origins of the earth and humanity. His previous novel, the multi-award-winning SNOOZE: A STORY OF AWAKENING, was a deep dive into Hindu mysticism, lucid dreaming, parallel universes, and cryptozoology. In his two international bestselling nonfiction books on the “revolutionary healing science” (NEXUS Magazine) of his own unique form of sound healing, the Regenetics Method, Luckman examined the critical role played by DNA and consciousness in healing, transformation, and evolution. On the lighter side, Luckman is also an acclaimed humorist. Of his multi-award-winning satirical lexicon, THE ANGEL'S DICTIONARY, Reader Views remarked that he “picked up where writers like Mark Twain and Ambrose Bierce had left off.” More recently, the forthcoming MUSING FROM A SMALL ISLAND combines fascinating memoir, hilarious comedy and inspirational philosophy in a stunningly self-illustrated coffee table book any Lowcountry lover or contemporary art aficionado would be proud to display.

Dylan Charles talks with Rak Razam to understand a shamanic perspective on the cultural challenges and divide we are witnessing in civilization as it responds to multiple emergencies, from the coronavirus to economic collapse and ecological devastation. As the ego drive for control brings in a new world order of advanced technologies that track, surveil and entrain an increasingly distanced and traumatized global population, is there a larger process at work? Are we undergoing a spiritual emergency that presages the emergence of something new? Can we acknowledge the world grief of our unsustainable civilization’s collapse? Are we in a planetary ceremony right now, facing our egos, our traumas, and our shadow? And can we let go of blame, control and division to come together with a unified vision for a new way of being? Rak Razam is a journalist, author, filmmaker, and an articulate spokesperson for the global psychedelic movement. ———————————— Visit Rak at RakRazam.com Check his superb books, Aya Awakenings and The Toad of Dawn Watch Rak’s film series, Shamans of the Global Village ———————————— Visit us on the web - Waking Times ———————————— Support Battered Souls with Cryptos!

Given the current crisis where the issue of racism is violently coming to the surface, I thought it would be insightful to ask one of my elders to share his perspective of being a black man in America. In this podcast I’m joined by a friend, and someone worthy of the title of elder, Vasil Abed. The conversation gets pretty deep into some things that people don’t typically bring up, but through the darkness of it all, he shares some incredibly valuable wisdom about what our world could look like, and what it really means to be a man today. Thanks for tuning in, and I hope you find something valuable in this conversation from the heart.
