We discover mysteries of Hanukkah, Yule, Winter Solstice, Christmas, Pancha Ganapati and a few you’ve probably never hear of! We’ve discovered that Pagan traditions of Yule are embedded into our christmas and the symbolism is beautiful. Did you know that the star is placed on top of the tree to represent solar energy and the return of the sun? Did you know Hanukkah is about fighting oppression, religious freedom and showing that what you believe in is worth fighting for? Do you know where Santa Claus came from? Join us as we explore holidays in depth, you’re bound to learn something!
Welcome welcome, Episode 17! As Tina Turner would ask, What's love got to do with it? We shout resoundingly , “EVERYTHING!”. Love is another word that it hard for us to define, why is that? Is Love the answer to all of our problems? Staci tried and makes the claim that Love is another synonym for God. Love can be defined as the core as our essence, the root of us all. We come into this world as pure love and innocence and our experiences either keep us in this love or begin to separate us. Why is love such a radical idea? Scrap your understanding of love. We aren’t talking about that ooey gooey love. Love is a bond, a recognition, compassion, and most of all its a choice. As we continue to experience free will, every moment we have the choice to choose love or choose the lack of love. Are there moments where you have strayed from love? How can we as humans, get closer to love? How can we learn to trust? Listen in as we discuss these topics! (Warning: we reach the hot topic of abortion)
Welcome, Welcome, here we are at Episode 16! In this episode, Brittanni and Staci discuss different tools to uncover the unconscious mind. As we bring our focus inward we begin to realize the power the unconscious mind has on us. The unconscious mind can be triggered and bring us to anxiety and panic. Do you believe you have the power to get to the root of your thoughts to release its control? Join us for this discussion as we bring the tools we have worked on ourselves to see what the waves below have to tell us. Learn different techniques for meditation and healing old wounds. Innerwork asks us to meet our pain head on and is to be done so with caution. When meeting trauma head-on, please make sure you do so with the guidance of a trained professional.
Welcome, welcome to episode 14! Join us as we welcome Women’s Empowerment Coach and Trainer, Lauren Bentley. It has been a common trend to question if God is really a female. In America, which is predominantly Christian, it’s common to imagine God as a white male wearing a robe and with a long white beard. So, it’s only natural to question, is that what God really looks like? As pop culture begins to recognize paganism and the worship of mother earth, you may have noticed that songs begin to identify God as a “she”. What is God really? Many people are turned away from religion by the personification of God, so by asking the gender, are we missing the point? All three women in this conversation have very different opinions of what god is, including one who believes a god doesn’t even exist. So.. instead of asking, Is God a she? Maybe we should be asking, “What is God?” Don’t forget to listen to our first compilation of the answer to that age-old question, What is God?
Welcome, Welcome to episode 12! Join us as we define and debunk what it means to be a modern day witch! With special guest, Alex Reeves, we discuss the presumed definition, the history of a witch and the simplicity of “witchy” things. Do you use the power of thought? Meditation? Superstitions? Follow the flow of the seasons or the moon? Would you consider yourself a witch? What if we were to tell you a witch, simply put, is a woman in her own power. Someone who manifest their own life or is in tune with the rhythm of nature. Would you believe the proposed theory that women are drawn to not trust other women because of the Salem witch trials? Do you believe you’re still affected by this? Join us with an open mind and see if you too, classify as a witch. You may be surprised by how intuitive witchy things are.
Welcome Welcome! We seem to be on a role of debunking what a “Shaman” is. When Staci & Britt set off on their mission, one of Staci’s major questions was “What is a Shaman?” They seemed to have been able to define it in episode 9 and 10 but this episode seems to re-define it in even more simplistic terms. Join Staci & Britt as they interview Rani Stevens, Womb Shaman. Think that womb shamanism is exclusive to females? That is a wrong misconception. The womb represents more than just the female anatomy, the womb represents human life; conception, birth, coming of age, pregnancy, mother and fatherhood, and conscious death. We all have masculine and feminine energies, the yin and the yang, the womb is the embodiment of feminine energy. Rani talks about different tools to help heal our womb space, from deep meditations to breath work. Rani seeks to help heal ancestral and sexual trauma through the womb space. You can contact Rani through her website at beautyoftheelements.com
Welcome, Welcome! We have arrived at Episode 10! Join us as we interview Lynette Ramos, a QHHT practitioner! What is QHHT? This stands for Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique. Lynette explains what she does during a session and touches on the topic of the subconscious. Throughout her work, she tries to clear and heal the subconscious through hypnosis and access to the Quantum Realm. Do you believe the Quantum Realm exists? Lynette has had experiences that prove to her that it does! Join us as we break down this healing session to simplistic terms and maybe decide to take it at face value, a subconscious clearing. Lynette is from Cleveland, Ohio and is currently booking sessions! To book a session with Lynette, visit her at https://www.spirituallyluxe.com/qhht-quantum-healing-hypnosis-techn . Lynette offers a wide variety of healing tools available to the public! Take a look at all they offer at www.spirituallyluxe.com
Welcome to part two of the Call of a Shaman! In this episode, we discuss power animals and soul retrievals. We are starting to realize this heavy work is actually quite simple, and intuitive! Have you ever had a traumatic experience happen to you where you felt like you "lost part of yourself"? Do you have animals that you feel are always following you or coming up in your life? We've now seen that the "shamanistic ways" are just simply being in-tune with yourself, your subconsious and the outside world.
Welcome to Episode 8! We put it out into the universe that we needed a shaman, and the universe brought us one! We wanted to know, what is a shaman? What makes a shaman? Who is a shaman? Join us for this podcast as we interview Lisa Whitefeather, a local shamanic practitioner! The information from this interview was so expansive we had to break it into two! This portion of the podcast we discuss what propelled Lisa down this journey, starting with her Kundalini awakening! After we discuss Kundalini awakening we touch the surface of what it means to be a shaman! Can we even define it? At the end of the podcast we teach the topic of ancestral wounds, what are they and how can we heal them? We can't wait to share the rest next week!
Welcome to episode 7! Join us as we welcome Lisa Berardinelli, Certified Eden Energy Medicine Clinical Practitioner and Yoga Instructor.

Hear the amazing background of Lisa and Staci as they tell the story of Staci’s “Chakra Baby”, who they believe was brought to this earth with a little help from Lisa. Do you believe in energy work? Do you also believe you can practice energy work and still have faith? Lisa gives her opinion on how she's able to practice energy work and still be a devout catholic.

Join host Staci Payne and Brittanni Majka as they discover angelic healing. When Britt first found out they were going to be interviewing someone who “talked to angels”, she wasn’t the most excited. She showed up with skepticism through the roof, but it quickly went out the window. Mia won them over by describing these angelic beings as mere energies and light rays instead of the robed angel with wings that we’ve all come to know. Mia gives tools to contact these angelic beings for healing, a higher perspective, and increased opportunity. We learn about the rule of three, the major archangels and the lightworker stage. Mia Toska has communicated with the Angelic Realms since the age of seven. She devoted her life to the study of human patterns of behavior and dedicated a life of service to reconnecting the hearts and souls of humanity for greater Hope, Love, & Faith.

Welcome! Do you believe your personality and fate is written in the stars? Join us as we welcome Astrologer and Yoga Instructor, Lisa Turner. Many of us are aware of our Sun Sign and may even allow it to define us, but are you aware there are deeper layers? These layers may be uncovered by taking a look at our Natal Charts. Our Individual Natal Charts are conceived the very minute we are born and they record not only our Sun Sign but also where all other celestial bodies are located at the time of our birth. Through the study of Astrology we are able to see how every planets’ position is able to make up who we were born to be. Lisa dives even deeper into natal charts and believes we can compare the current positions of celestial bodies (transit) to our natal chart and it will tell us what we are up against. Astrology has stood the test of time and we believe there is a reason for that. Are you a non-believer? Give it a listen and see if it resonates with you! Lisa Turner is available for Natal Chart Readings and can be contacted through email at Sage.at.stonehaven@gmail.com Lisa also leads workshops in Astrology in the Cleveland area. Her next workshop is at Half Moon Yoga in Medina on October 21st & November 18th. Interested in hosting a workshop? Contact Lisa at Sage.at.stonehaven@gmail.com
Join Britt & Staci as they discuss the Niyamas, which are the inner observances. The Niyamas are intended to get us closer to Samadhi, or enlightenment. Through this episode we will discuss what this means in modern terms. Does society provide us with the tools to help get us there or does society hinder this growth?
