In 2012, Michael Schauch and his wife, Chantal, undertook an expedition deep in the Himalaya of northern Nepal, into a remote valley that had been closed off to outsiders for decades. They led a team of artists (a photographer, a musician, and a painter), with the objective of capturing a moment in time through their unique lenses. As a mountain-eering fanatic, Michael had a second (and less conspicuous) goal to climb an unknown mountain he had only identified through a photograph. What unfolded in the mountains forced him to question his values and his own identity, and eventually resulted in meet- ing a little girl, which was the most profound encounter of his life. Little did either know that from that moment they would completely change the trajectory of each other's life.  His Book - A Story of Karma - recounts this journey, and the years that follow as Karma (the little girl) and Michael and Chantal grow their lives together amidst the complex dichotomies and backdrop of Karma's 17th-century Himalayan village; the impoverished and polluted Kathmandu; and the modern world of Vancouver, Canada.

Rodrigo Garcia Platas is a transformational coach, a master of systemic psychology, and a FIFA certified sports psychologist. He has been studying and using Unani BioTypes in his work for 15 years and is now teaching them for the first time ever. Using this method he has trained more than 90,000 people all over the world Unani BioTypes are an ancient method of identification and categorization of the different types of Humans. They have been used to treat both physical and mental imbalances by doctors and healers throughout history. This information has long been shared amongst the Islamic Medicine community and is just now making its way into the western world and English language. While Unani BioTypes use the same terminology as other temperaments, Unani BioTypes focuses more on biology in addition to personality whereas other temperaments focus on the personality without much regard to the biological elements and features that influence them. Humans are 70% biology and 30% personality. While modern psychology tends to look at a person as 100% personality, Unani BioTypes takes the biology behind behavior into account as well. In this conversation Rodrigo and I discuss our Biotypes and how are physical, emotional and spiritual journeys have been informed by them over they years.

Lisa Tahir is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and host of the popular weekly podcast, “All Things Therapy” on LA Talk Radio. She is committed to working with people to heal through all of the senses of the body by utilizing: intuition, therapy, energy healing, meditation, Reiki healing, crystal healing, and psychoastrology to support spirituality, emotional health, and mental well-being.  Using astrology as a diagnostic tool, Lisa reveals how to use the astrological placement of the minor planet Chiron in your birth chart to identify the core wounds and unconscious patterns that block your capacity to have self-empathy and to forgive. Coining the phrase “Chiron Effect” to describe the magnetic pull that individuals have around specific areas of vulnerability, she explains how, like a raw nerve, the placement of Chiron describes what parts of our lives we might edit or hide for fear of being rejected as well as the areas of sensitivity where we are triggered. Offering a chart and online links to allow you to determine Chiron’s placement in your chart, she explains how Chiron affects you psychologically, emotionally, sexually, spiritually, socially, financially, and intellectually depending on the sign and house it falls within. She outlines how to begin healing your core wounds through empathy and self-forgiveness, providing several steps for each sign placement to shift self-destructive patterns and learn to protect yourself as well as powerful affirmations infused with Reiki healing energy to help you anchor a new belief system.  You can discover your Birth Chart and Chiron placement here: https://www.nolatherapy.com/chiron Lisa's book discussing your Chiron placement: The Chiron Effect: Healing Our Core Wounds Through Astrology, Empathy, and Self-Forgiveness

Natalie Miles is a Channeler for the Collective, Psychic Medium, Writer, Speaker and Host of the top spiritual podcast on iTunes, “So You Think You’re Intuitive?” It’s her mission to make intuition accessible and be the “door opener” for others to connect to their intuition.

Natalie guides people to reactivate the gifts that we were all born with. Natalie shares that by connecting to your intuition and experiencing a Spiritual Reactivation the focus isn’t on “love and light intuition”. It’s not to be used as a tool for Spiritual Bypassing. It’s about using your gifts to support you to heal your pain, shadow and limiting beliefs. A journey to become a conscious intuitive for the collective and the world we live in.

Since COVID, Hamilton is spearheading the movement of wellness and lifestyle retreats from home via the Triniti retreat program www.bluemorphoretreats.world.  In this conversation we talk about the not-often known discussed topics of plant dietas, that is fasting and consuming only a small selection of herbs to imbue and imbibe their spiritual qualities. The ancient practice can be done from home and is incredibly powerful for renewal.

Christina has been featured as a “Woman Working to Do Good” in the White House Blog.

Ervin László is a Hungarian philosopher of science, systems theorist, integral theorist, originally a classical pianist. Twice nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, is editor of the international periodical World Futures: The Journal of General Evolution and Chancellor-Designate of the newly formed GlobalShift University. He is the author of 83 books translated into 21 languages. László's most famous work, his 2004 book Science and the Akashic Field: An Integral Theory of Everything posits a field of information as the substance of the cosmos. He calls this information field the "Akashic field" or "A-field". He posits that the "quantum vacuum" is the fundamental energy and information-carrying field that informs not just the current universe, but all universes past and present (collectively, the metaverse) László believes that such an informational field can explain why our universe appears to be fine-tuned so as to form galaxies and conscious lifeforms; and why evolution is an informed, not random, process. He believes that the hypothesis solves several problems that emerge from quantum physics, especially nonlocality and quantum entanglement.

Jeff Brown is the author of 5 best-selling books: Soulshaping: A Journey of Self-Creation, Ascending with Both Feet on the Ground, Love It Forward, An Uncommon Bond, and Spiritual Graffiti. He is also the producer of the award-winning spiritual documentary, Karmageddon, which starred Ram Dass, Seane Corn, David Life, Deva Premal and Miten. After writing a series of inspirations for ABC'S 'Good Morning America' in early, 2010, and appearing on Fox News.com and dozens of radio shows, Jeff wrote the viral blog 'Apologies to the Divine Feminine (from a warrior in transition)' that autumn, catapulting him to notoriety. His new terms and short writings became a phenomenon some years ago, and continue to be shared by seekers and growers worldwide. His quotes have been shared in social media by songstresses Alanis Morrissette and Fergie, Sophie Gregoire Trudeau (the wife of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau) and many other well-known figures. Most beautifully, they have touched and benefited millions of souls. Jeff stands out in the spiritual scene as a proponent of a grounded form of spirituality. Instead of looking to transcend the human condition through meditation and non-dual wisdom, he argues for the importance of embodiment. He asks us not to bypass our humanness, but to celebrate it. Not to find enlightenment independent of the self, but to find our awakening deep within it. Jeff is also the founder of Soulshaping Institute and Enrealment Press. He lives in Canada with his wife, poet Susan Frybort.

Eben Alexander III is an American neurosurgeon and New York Times bestselling author. His book Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife describes his 2008 near-death experience (NDE) and explains that science can and will determine that the brain does not create consciousness and that consciousness survives bodily death.  In 2008 Eben fell into a spontaneous a meningitis-induced coma for 8 days which led him into the spirit realm to commune with entities that described the true nature of reality to him. Since the release of the book, he has presented hundreds of lectures around the world in churches, hospitals, medical schools, and academic symposia, besides appearing on TV shows including Super Soul Sunday with Oprah Winfrey. Alexander has also expanded on his NDE in the Congress of Neurological Surgeons and the peer-reviewed Journal of the Missouri State Medical Association. He is also the author of the 2014 book The Map of Heaven which builds on the claims in his previous book, and coauthor of the 2017 book Living in a Mindful Universe which describes his personal journey since 2008 along with co-author Karen Newell. In this conversation, Eben, Karen and I talk about his NDE, the afterlife, the nature of consciousness, and the lessons he’s brought back to teach from that moment in time.  

Niraj Naik is the founder of the popular breathing modality Soma Breath, a system that combines yogic breathing exercises with modern wellness modalities. He developed the system after an existential crisis that changed him forever. Also known as the Renegade Pharmacist - Niraj is a popular health, wellness, and breathwork teacher. Initially working as a community pharmacist in the UK he quickly realized that instead of helping people actually get better, his role was actually just to medicate. This reality caused him a lot of stress which initially manifested itself into a chronic autoimmune condition called Ulcerative Colitis. After years studying, self-healing and experimenting with different modalities, Niraj combined his vast knowledge of breathwork, yoga, brainwave music and guided meditation techniques to create SOMA Breathwork. In this conversation we discuss the power of the breath to heal the body and guide you to transcendent states of awareness.
