The hard problem of consciousness? What problem? A leading neuroscientist shares with us the remarkable facts about what we do know and what we definitely do not know about the brain. In this interview she makes it abundantly clear what the brilliant research promises and also what it has not yet and may never be able to deliver: how the water changes into wine in her own words. A truly enlightening talk with a scientist who robustly veers away from speculation and retains her focus on what neuroscience can do to help people with Alzheimer's disease.

Who were the Toltecs? What was their procedure which would result in a far saner human being present? Does that sound like a tall order? Of course it is! That is why we need people like Mario Gomez Mayorga who have really walked down that path and applied the teachings to those who really need it. People with existential dilemmas, depression, physical disease and most common of all simple grief. The modern world is soul destroying especially for the sensitive of heart as we all know too well. Where to go? Who to see? How to overcome these profound issues of the inner person, the one deep below the name and the title? Mario shares over three decades of experience mainly in the jungle environment of his home base in Palenque and shows how the ancient Toltecs are still here. Their way of teaching will amaze you. Even Mario did not know how he was learning until he had learned! But what he learned has proven to be very precious, not only for himself but for the people who come to walk the path through the jungle with him from all over the world. A remarkable healer indeed if that is what we can call the remarkable work of Mario Gomez Mayorga. There is no name for this really..

We live in an age of electromagnetic pollution par excellence. We are continuously bombarded by invisible waves emitting from cell towers, computers and flat screens for example. For most this may not be an issue but there seems to be a growing number of people who simply cannot deal with it. These are called electrohypersensitive and it can result in all manner of debilitating symptoms. In this interview the doctor most responsible for proclaiming the benefits of earthing or grounding the body now broaches the potential effects it can have on EHS individuals. She helps us to understand the deeper mechanics of earthing and what we need to do to shield ourselves from unwanted radiation in our technologically advanced culture. With a lot of attention now being focused on 5G cell towers and their potentially damaging effects the timing could not be better to listen to the doctor known as 'The Intuition Physician'. She also shares with us the stiff resistance she faces by exposing the issue of grounding vs electrohypersensitivity whilst using earthing products in your home or office environment. This is key information for all of us since the electromagnetic radiation may not decrease in our lifetimes as more electrical products stack up in our homes and offices and will most probably dramatically increase. We are electrically powered beings ourselves so let's all discover what keeps us in balance and what can be done to mitigate the consequences of EHS.

A war zone birth leads to multiple traumatic events that under 'ordinary' circumstances might generate a life of disability and unsolvable pain. Or, as certain individuals have shown us throughout human history, the suffering itself becomes the balm our soul most deeply craves. We have all heard of those who rise above their own pain and frequently choose the path of service to others as a result. Such an individual is Michael Stone. From a stage set by his mother trying to kill him and then killing herself, through to his own wife being murdered Michael delved really deep. He learned meditation and he learned how to dance firmly into his own body as he studied with Gabrielle Roth. He learned age old knowledge with shamans and gleaned insights from the ways of all wounded healers..the ways to bring us back to congruence, sanity and unity. He then utilized this hard won wisdom to guide organizations around the world including the California EPA, Microsoft, Boeing, Prudential and Humana. He has long been involved with climate change issues and has attended UN COP conferences and also worked for the EU in the finance division.Now he has begun another form of service through his new company Quantum Consulting Group. He shares with us the journey to becoming a true elder and how we might lead ourselves back into our bodies, out of our minds and into out hearts. His website is: https://www.quantumconsultinggroup.org/

The ancient dichotomy of mind and body has led science to physical realism i.e. an observable and very real, objective and concrete 'world' exists irrespective of you or I perceiving it. Philosophy and religion have had other views of spirit and mind but not until people like Dr. Bernardo Kastrup appeared have we had such a rigorous re-examination of the so called 'physicalist' paradigm and in fact a total refutation of it. With his new book now a best seller before it is even published Bernardo Kastrup has taken the metaphysical and scientific world by storm. With impeccable logic he clearly and most finally informs us in no uncertain terms that materialism is baloney. It really IS all in the mind..

Imagine a Shaolin monk with acupuncture needles riding on a Navajo horse from the ancient plains of a forgotten sense of healing and wellness. A quiet and unassuming master of somatic awareness and modern medical systems who suggests people get into cold showers, sober up and get with their whole selves. Hailing from the hinterlands of British Columbia's rugged landscapes Michael Smith is both a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, a gifted martial artist and an experiencer of the hunting and trapping lifestyle of his aboriginal roots. In this deep interview he counsels us well as to the meaning of integrative health solutions and acts as our health detective always pointing the way with unique and meaningful stories culled from his own rich training in multiple disciplines. He asks us to envisage ourselves as the horse upon which the samurai sits with binoculars i.e. to a far more total sense of being in this world as dysfunctional and often addicted primates. He does it with compassion and care and most of all with knowledge. Don't miss it!

What do Tesseracts, Philip K. Dick, Photosynthesis,the Titanic, Freudian dreams, Norman Mailer, UFO, Quantum entanglement, Sexy science research, Minkowski's block universe, Synchronicity re-defined, Remote viewing re-viewed, Occult Prague, Anthropology, Unemployed Jungian Archetypes, Jacques Vallee and Flying Koans all connect to? Dr. Eric Wargo, author of Time Loops: Precognition, Retrocausation and the Unconscious answers the question in this scintillating discussion of where we have come back from and where we went to get here.

Picture yourself with a group of forty people. You want to enter an ancient Egyptian temple but these days they are guarded by folks who would prefer that they not be used for ceremonies. You play cat and mouse to get in and you do! Who but a highly creative and able shaman would attempt such a travesty on pop tourism, where taking pictures and listening to the same old sarcophagus stories might suffice. Nicki has conducted over 60 such journeys to Egypt alone and it is always with the same idea in mind: connect to those same deities the ancient Egyptians held in such high esteem. The Gods never left..it was only us who made that tragic decision to disconnect. And now look at the planet! Nicki is a wise elder in an ageless school, and she recommends self initiation in these dire days of planetary emergency. Like all good shamans she does not call herself one. Enjoy this refreshing banter with a priestess of the temple.Visit her site here: http://www.shamanicjourneys.com/

The late twentieth century saw the advent of a stunningly unique phenomenon on the internet. Called 'The Wingmakers' it purported to be a radical understanding of who we are and where we are going as a species. Chris Lock, a trained architect, talented artist and long time educator in Japan's university system shares his journey from Buddhism in the UK to his experience of profound enlightenment through his deep study of the Wingmakers cosmology. It is a fascinating window into the probable future. Chris has written a world class paper on the Wingmakers' material that can be downloaded at his site here: www.chrislock.com or directly here as a PDF: https://www.wingmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/chamber17essay.pdf

George Tani , later to become Screaming Mad George, was born in Japan and headed out to seek his fortune in New York at the age of eighteen. Thus began an incredible story leading to his becoming a major makeup artist in Hollywood long before computer graphics rendered that art form obsolete. From his awakening through Salvador Dali's work to his punk rock band and on to a series of serendipity he landed on his feet with the major makeup artists of the era in Los Angeles. They mentored him as he worked for free as an assistant that led to his beginning a very successful career in that industry. From The Howling, American Werewolf and on to Cocoon he was introduced to an entirely new form of horror and SF surrrealism that he was totally ready to do something with. George is a great example of a man who learned as he moved and shows us how an artist can never really stand still. His time in the US with nine years in New York and two decades in L.A. finally led him back to Japan where he now teaches his skills to others. You can see him in action here with his punk band : https://youtu.be/Fxdiw1FKBkIand at one of his art shows in Germany here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRK5Je0ssmI

For over 600 years Kyogen comedy has been part of the cultural fabric of Japan. It had always been an intrinsic form of entertainment for the common people until the Edo period when samurai lords decided they would make it their own, thus in a sense fossilizing its ad lib brilliance in favour of a more scripted and sanitized art. Always kept in the rather rarified domain of special families of performers its popularity has waned and many modern Japanese have never experienced its unique dynamism, its sophisticated yet hilarious word play and its multitextured stories. Tadashi Ogasawara, not from any of these traditional families, was suddenly introduced to Kyogen at the age of seventeen and has become a leading innovator and international performer as a result. In this first of a series of interviews we have the chance to hear the disciple of a National living treasure share his initial journey into this truly fascinating world. In months to come he will continue to train artists in France and has recently performed the very first Kyogen in Algeria, ever! A subtitled Youtube version of this interview will be available next year. See his website in English and Japanese here: https://www.atelier-oga.com/

What is the BOX? How do we find out about that space we choose to live inside of? Clint has been on the front lines of helping people to see just how we construct it and then, more importantly, how we move beyond it through tried and tested evolutionary games we can all learn to play. This seminal theatre of possibilities belongs to us all and after more than four decades of trial and error Clint has gleaned some real jewels that he shares with us here.

Ryo Onishi teaches the Russian martial art called SYSTEMA (The System) in both English and Japanese. He was the first Japanese to be given the honour of becoming an instructor of this ancient discipline and now heads the Systema Osaka centre as well as teaching around the world. He had just returned from recent teaching seminars in Europe and Australia as well as at the top school outside of Russia in Canada when we sat down in the empty practise hall to talk. But this interview is not about how to overcome opponents and become a martial arts superman. In fact systema, with a thousand years of history behind it defies our modern classifications of martial arts. Rather than try to explain its unique methods of teaching this interview focuses on the man who practises and teaches it as a way of rather profound personal growth in all areas. Beginning with Ryo taking the leap of faith to move from Japan to the UK and the very stiff challenges he faces as a young student with limited English ability, through to his growing awareness of just how much systema can impact lives, Ryo speaks from the heart with a quiet humility that says it all. Now that systema has rapidly become the martial art of choice for many around the world it is a timely interview with a seasoned practitioner. Enjoy his insights as one who bridges East and West with a quiet kindness and a disarming sincerity.

Welcome to the real twilight zone, the one they will tell you does not exist. New York born Greg Sullivan, mentored by world renowned disclosure expert Dr. Steven Greer, has been teaching ET contact protocols in Japan for years and has a truly unique story to tell of how high level obfuscation, cover ups and sheer bad will have clouded this single most important issue for all of us (in my humble opinion) i.e. extraterrestrial contact. Dr. Greer's decades long effort to clear a path through this murky story have been exemplary and have culminated in the Netflix film Unacknowledged. Greg shows us how not only is disinformation about UFO phenomena the norm but that they are being manipulated through ARV. These are human made and piloted Alien Reproduction Vehicles that form a part of the extraordinary narrative he shares with us. Throughout Japan Greg has taught people how to make contact, film it and document it in a way that is both enlightening and highly enjoyable, thus arresting the tired old image of 'nasty aliens who abduct people'. That was always a con job from the start by three letter agencies. As a contactee myself with years of experience in the field I can attest to the veracity of his statements and fully support both his and Dr. Greer's work. Greg Sullivan is a great example of a man with a clear mission, one that is vitally important now in Japan to clear away so much of the UFO nonsense still being peddled. Bravo!

Earthing has now firmly taken its place in the world of natural health and healing. However the science, where is the science we so often hear. Well here it is! Beginning with his research as a plasma physicist working on nuclear fusion machines Dr. Chevalier takes us through the progression of connections that leads to Japan's legendary Dr. Hiroshi Motoyama and his work with him up to his current position assisting Deepak Chopra and Clint Ober in finding out what happens when the body gets connected to Earth. How about one second for the autonomic nervous system to change? How about pain relief in a few moments? What are the implications for diabetes, auto immune diseases and the plethora of ills that seem to have deluged our societies since we invented insulated soles on our shoes? This is paradigm shifting at its best since it is clear from over 15 peer reviewed studies that the effects are real and that there is a science behind it all..one still in its development stages. See the youtube version here and Dr. Chevalier's bio here. 

The allure of zen began to tantalize the West back in the 1960's thanks to the brilliant books of the Japanese scholar and monk D.T. Suzuki and closely followed by eclectic philosopher Alan Watts and many others. They saw in zen perhaps a new clarity that Western religion and philosophy had long forsaken for sophistry,  tepid social morality and born again inanity in many cases. To the true seeker of wisdom zen had none of that and so we saw Bill and Steve, arguably the creators of our internet world take themselves to places like India and Esalen to get a taste of this new kid on the block; Zen Buddhism. Monasteries sprang up in the US and around the world to anchor people in this new approach to reality that could never get defined as this or even that. Zen busted apart all the conceptual greenhouses we tend to warm our spiritual selves inside. It was full of paradox, humour and searing honesty about the human condition. Abbot Muho, born in Germany truly is one of a kind. To become the abbot of a contemporary zen temple, Antaiji in Hyogo prefecture, he had to pursue the path of 'just sitting' for many years. It does not get any more bare naked than this..no sky hooks, no promises of redemption, no heaven awaiting and certainly no place to go feel good about your spiritual 'life'. So what does zen do for you then, you who commit to sitting in zazen (meditation) day after day after day? Find out from one who should know...Information on temple here.

Pastor Koichi Hirano works as a Tokyo based, world traveling messenger of God even still at the age of 74. Bilingual and with rich experience in both the US and Japan as a bible teacher, family and marriage counsellor as well as now heading his own Horizon Chapel he is known to deliver five impassioned sermons in one day! He is surely a tireless crusader for the same Holy Spirit that seems to power his every move. Pastor Hirano has recently developed a fascination with the work of holofractographic scientist Nassim Haramein. He sees clear refllections of Biblical knowledge throughout Haramein's theories of the vacuum space full of infinite energy. Well aware of the challenges the established church system around the world faces he draws from the deep well of scripture to show us how Haramein's ideas resonate completely with ancient tradition. Beyond that it seems that in this interview there really has emerged a bridge between the often embattled systems of the left and right cerebral hemispheres of our brains..the rational scientific and the faith based religious. Pastor Hirano has a profound understanding of the Biblical phrase, "Bring me your empty vessels!" Only an empty cup can receive and wouldn't you know it, in a holographic, fractally connected universe each one of us has the capacity to receive infinite amounts of energy. Calling it spirit or vacuum space is simply a linguistic choice. Find out more about Koichi Hirano here.

One day the already well practised flautist was told to blow on a stone flute. This is not exactly an instrument since no human hand had anything to do with its formation. Apparenly small crabs excrete an acidic substance on rocks to slowly create holes into which they will burrow their future homes. This make the stone flute a completely natural creation. To play it then requires an entirely different approach to 'music' as he explains to us. The Shinto priest who encouraged him to start also reprimanded him for having an attitude of 'practise' since this device can be considered a way of inviting the Gods to come to us. "Could you rehearse a talk with God" he quips? Or would you give that moment your full attention, with no intention of showing off, sounding perfect or even making any musical sense? Like a zen riddle you cannot really learn to play the stone flute, you have to just just press it to your lips and see what happens! In the future this interview will be subtitled on film for those of us not fluent in Japanese as he most certainly is! See him here give a short blast!

She sits quietly on the edge of an ice floe for a photo shoot after having just come out of the Greenland Sea @ minus three degrees celsius. Extraordinary adventures and experiments with one's own physiology we call biohacking these days. In this uplifting interview we share the inside experiences of a woman who has dedicated herself to pushing her own physiology and consciousness far beyond the norm. Her rallying call is Disturb the Comfort and that is exactly what she does. A life of travel and exploration led her from free diving to the frigid power of freezing water and clearly helped her overcome the single biggest trauma she had ever experienced. Spiralling in and out of helplessness and depression from it she found, like her mentor the 'Iceman' fellow Dutchman Wim Hof, that cold is the noble force that takes us out of ourselves and thus deeply back into ourselves through a paradox well known to shamans throughout time. She inspires us with news that a new tribe has arrived on Earth and they do not just disturb our comfort zones where we languish in apathy far too much..they comfort the disturbed. From where REal Rover comes from that looks like most of the planetary community right now. Check out her website and videos here.

So welcome to.. the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way Serendipidy is defined thus in the dictionary but we do not often connect it to wheeling and dealing in multiple businesses in multiple countries and in multiple languages do we? Meet a true blue entrepreneur who goes by his nickname Harry but whose Japanese name is Hakuei Kosato. Just during this in person interview he fended calls from Mumbai and Hong Hong in connection with the Great British Week in Tokyo's chic Roppongi-an event he invented like so many others to bring something unique into form and very importantly to 'pay the bills' doing it... something his mentor Richard Branson taught him. On his way to London from Kobe via his Tokyo office I caught this effervescent man for long enough to receive a byte of his substantial knowledge about what it really takes to be an entrepreneur. Packed with enlightening hints about how to stop doing what you do NOT want to do and get on with what you do want to do, Harry is truly one of a kind. And he is kind too. A man who logs yearly distances on flights almost equivalent to the distance to our moon he transcends nation, ideology and quick fix business jargon and delivers some meaty advice on selling sushi in Mumbai! His Japanese profile is here and an English article on him here.

Tatiana Kassessinoff PhD certainly knows her chemistry and knows how important a role science plays in our understanding of health and well being. She also has a clear understanding of the problems scientists face due to not seeing the proverbial forest for the trees. We constitute the forest and yes we BE the tree. The great dichotomy of delving perhaps too deeply into the chemical engines of our bodies, the protein machines that make us tick, comes down to this: Does it really make us whole, healthy and vibrant as human beings? Given the dismal track record of just how seriously our health has degenerated (if you doubt it walk outside and look at obesity, depression, chronic psycho-somatic syndromes and most of all lack of vivacity) we look deeper into the human condition in this episode. Drawing from a wealth of experience including transformational analysis, shamanism and work for the National Institute of Health in the US Tatiana shows us that rare talent of a true 'mad scientist' i.e. one who can step beyond the confines of a necessarily limited scientific paradigm and join the dots towards holistic wisdom. In an age when we have never become this unhealthy , this confused and this much in a hurry to heal it all with a soundbyte or two, her guidance and her balanced approach could not have come sooner. Check out her own interviews at London Heal!

We start with a zen riddle in this interrupted-by-internet-breakdown interview, essentially asking how clouds really form. Professor Gerald Pollack is a world renowned scientist from the University of Washington whose landmark book, The Fourth Phase of Water challenged the long held belief (not fact) that water can only exist as a solid, liquid, or vapour. Long and patient research in his laboratory has revealed one more 'state' or phase of water..closer to a gel or a semi-crystallised snow flake. Even more astonishing that is the kind of water we are made of-in our cellular structures. With great humour and panache Dr. Pollack takes us through and past long held superstitions about water and shows us how light and electricity play a far greater role in water's movement than we have previously assumed. He shows us just how regimented science has become and how to overcome the limitations of its own restictive paradigms through the creation of the Institute for Venture Science. Since water molecules are so abundant in Life his research has literally stunning implications. Listen please and be enlightened!

Here we continue the second part of a wide ranging interview with futurist Benjamin J. Butler. Before the interview this most unusual futurist, one who has a rather more holistic view of the 'future' prediction paradigm, suggested we go for a dip in the chilly River Dart to better prepare ourselves. Having walked with him in the ancient forests of Devon to get there I can say that it did impact the quality of our conversation. Talking heads is an expression we come across often now. It means solely cerebral communication to many. But Benjamin prepared the interviewer better and I must say that we did have a more meaningful dialogue that the walk and the river ablution surely helped prepare us for. In part two Benjamin spends more time discussing the spiritual aspects of futurism, i.e.  human consciousness itself. Follow his work here.

Meet futurist Benjamin J. Butler for the first part of a discussion on where we could be headed. Educated at King's College in London he is the founder of the Emerging Future Institute's grounbreaking approach to the tricky field of future prediction. Having a solid background in Korean zen practice Benjamin encompasses far more than a data-based analysis of trends His eclectic understanding rather eschews a holistic approach that takes into account consciousness itself and how an evolving  human understanding of its reality has begun to sense its own role in the creation of the future. He has addressed corporations, world leaders and successfully predicted events that are only now in the news..like Brexit and the re-unification of the Koreas. His full bio can be seen here: 

What happens when Real Rover wanders into a foxhole? Whilst interviewing Satish Kumar at the Schumacher College in Devon our roving reporter wandered across the road and up the path to the massive Foxhole property-originally designed as an alternative educational institute based on the work of Rabindranath Tagore. Abandoned for years there is hope that here will emerge a new paradigm to help us all understand just what the hell is going on right now! Here we meet Holistic Science teacher and mathematician Philip Franses and the Emerging Future Institute's Benjamin Butler (himself a graduate of Schumacher College) in the newly created Global Synapse offices. Be a fly on the wall for a discussion (rather than an interview) that will take you far down the foxhole..maybe farther than you want to go :)

Imagine walking from the grave of your teacher's inspiration, Mahatma Gandhi on a marathon walk for peace that was inspired by the arrest of the UK philosopher Bertrand Russell. Satish Kumar, a Jain monk who became a disciple of legendary Gandhian activist and reformer Vinoba Bhave. He is perhaps Britain's best known spokesman for a sane and sustainable society. An educator who created the first truly holistic education to be accredited by regular university authorities he was also the long time editor of Resurgence magazine. Tirelessly campaigning for peace and simple elegance in our lifestyle he is a long term resident of the Uk and now lives in Devon where Schumacher College, his brainchild, is centred. In this interview the Indian concept of four ashranas, or stages of life is used to cover his journey as an earth pilgrim thus far. Satish Kumar truly is a man for our times since he combines a grounded vision of ecology, economy, science, art, crafts and right livelihood.  The key words Soil, Soul and society conjoin as major themes in his life work.

Imagine you could protect your precious assets with an advanced surface sealant. Think of your yacht, your plane or your car. Michael Bollam joins Real Rover to discuss the business of doing just that with his super advanced line of Aglaze products. Whether it is the Concorde or your old favourite car Michael has created something that can maintain your assets by protecting them longer. This interview was conducted live at the main office of Aglaze and its chairman Michael was kind enough to not only show me around the company but also drove me to the train station after the interview. 

Rob Garry knows more about this city of Victoria than most, having lived and worked here for most of his professional life.With several university degrees, a distinguished career as both a realtor and an arts patron of this city as well as being a wine conoisseur Rob shares with us the reasons why this city has become one of the top destinations for both tourists and for investors. A Meditteranean type climate lends a balmy air to this capital of British Columbia making it an easy rival of the more populated Californian destinations we usually associate with sun and fine real estate. The fact that Victoria is on an island has a significanace that we often forget about and according to Rob there is every good reason to expect that Victoria will continue its winning streak as a top destination for the foreseeable future. This is the first of several short business reports that will keep Real Rover's eclectic spirit of inquiry broad based and topical.

Medicine Beach lies just across the ocean from Alma Lightbody's home. For thousands of years the first people here knew that healing needs a medicine penetrating far deeper than the physical body alone.  Alma awoke to such energy medicine later in life as a medical technologist more familiar with the allopathic paradigm of treating ills. She combines the pragmatism of a successful entrepreneur with the sensitivity of one who knows that the healing comes from within us ultimately and that we ourselves must determine the conditions of our lives and health. During this interview we discover that Alberto Villoldo, a world renowned Light Body healer working with the Quero medicine men and women of Peru connects both the interviewer and the interviewee. Alma means soul in Spanish and Lightbody, her own original name means what it says. And so does she..

It was an AHA moment when a medical doctor realised why her child was crying constantly, a moment not even years of training had hinted at. In this passionately stated interview Dr. Koniver shares something you REALLY need to know about i.e. grounding your human body to Earth. With a refreshing and vivacious spirit of rebellion against a dead medical system that tries to keep people alive at any cost, her completely positive perspective on how we can transform our understanding of health today could be the best news you have ever heard. Rather than focus on the many years of double blind studies as well as a plethora of anecdotal evidence from her patients Dr. Koniver draws the broad strokes for us. In this no holds barred conversation about conductivity in every cell she shares why your brain, bones and blood need to get grounded to your planet for better sleep, for weight loss and mostly for a new quality in your life. Ultimately it is about the very real prospect of getting up every morning truly expectant of having a great day. Listen and learn folks..this matters!

Parapsychology. How many people have an accredited degree in this field? One. Join Dr. Jeffrey Mishlove in a conversation about his decades long research and sharing of astonishing information about the still emerging new paradigms in science, healing, remote viewing, ancient archaeology, shamanism, dream research, spiritual experience, altered states, the afterlife and the most important of all: consciousness itself. His PBS television program enlightened millions from 1986 for almost two decades before he began the current New Thinking Allowed, available on youtube. He has interviewed hundreds of leading edge men and women in these areas with a careful, erudite and warm personality that this interview will clearly reveal. From the problems he has encountered as the first and foremost researcher to tackle issues that science still continues to belittle, through his singular study of a real psychokinesis subject the PK man, to where we are now in a world still amnesiac to the depths of the human soul he gives us hope and bids us connect as a new tribe of concerned and aware citizens who really need to know. What is the mind? What is reality and how do the two operate? A rare opportunity indeed to hear a truly wise man speak.

Urban shamanism: the proliferation of workshops and actual plant ceremonies in cities across the world is fast becoming a social statement perhaps of our dissatisfaction with the current medical approach to human dis-ease. Daren Ellis, a former graphic design artist provides a 'space' called Aho in East London where people can get connected to the profound power and transformative energy of sacred plants and other shamanic tools for exploring consciousness, purging our bodies of ill-ness and thus creating a stronger possibility of renewal. He shares his experiences with shamans from Siberia to Peru with a quiet understanding and a humble heart. Whether it is the Amazonian tree frog or the now (in)famous use of ayahuasca as well as techno-shamanic tools for hacking consciousness there is clearly a need for new ways and new understanding. This is where the 'archaic revival'  as Terence Mckenna so aptly called it, has resurged  into the social sphere the world's urban jungles..

Enso Coach Marie Dahlgren commits herself to paradigm shifting because she has done it herself. The black horse and the white horse haunted Marie in recurring dreams. She there sees the collapse of the USSR and the life that follows in an unfolding vision. She knows she is not her name, her identity or any other label. She has awoken to a deeper level of the energy..As she takes us from childhood in the Ukraine to the US, on the way a Tibetan monk shows her beyond looking at yourself in the mirror, Milton Erickson's teaching points beyond the past and a solid career in government and banking reveals its inherent limitations to her. With a vibrant spirit of entrepreurship Marie connects the intuitive with the rational and demonstrates the solid power of modern coaching techniques. She shares a prescient sense of how technology and spiriitual wisdom get combined as we begin to understand the two horses galloping together. We need never choose only one horse but rather saddle up for both at any time, in any place. Get ready for the ride! 

For over two decades an Australian physicist has championed the revolutionary theory that our universe operates electrically. Though all of our modern science proves itself in mathematical theory it could actually have no true basis in fact. This potentially stunning conclusion becomes inescapable to any open minded enquiry as the interview unfolds. With a precise understanding of hard physics (as it used to operate), and a robust examination of the observed universe Thornhill has used a plethora of approaches to show us the obvious: our universe has its power source in electricity. His rational approach is multidisciplinary whilst never wavering from the fulcrum of real physics. He eschews the largely unintelligible gibberish of mathematical theory and grounds us in a return to sanity in science. Black holes, quantum physics, the expanding universe and multiple secret dimensions, the 'giants' like Einstein etc. all receive a thorough intellectual spanking by this master of understatement and poise. His calm delivery of the most shocking development of science in a century will question your most certain beliefs and give you hope for the future. Prepare yourself to get electrified!

Earth Walker Paul Coleman takes us on a quixotic life journey planting trees all over the planet to address one of the most pressing problems of our age: what difference can we make in the midst of environmental catastrophe? His astonishing walk around the world truly matters. With no means of support, no sponsors at the beginning, and nothing but a fairy tale dream, inspired by Iceland, he shows you what one person can do who believes the vision. With unrelenting humour he shares the life that began as a Rolls Royce chauffeur to Royals, with all of the wealth and connections such a life bestows, and then completely shifted to that of a pilgrim wanderer on a quest to plant one tree for every person who died in the great wars of the twentieth century. He has accomplished at least ten percent of the 100 million trees target through sheer power of imagination and commitment. Now 63 he lives with his wife in a place he chose so she could be safe and happy, in a house they built themselves in Patagonia. After hearing him you may no longer be able to put off that dream that we all must surely harbour in our souls. A magus of dreaming!

Keiko Watt is a Japanese woman living in a very small community of British Columbia, Canada. She works as an animal 'soul leve'l communicator i.e. she can communicate at a deep levels with animals. She shares how it is their relationship with humans that reveals so much about both us and them. Her journey to this small town with only one shop, where she is the only Japanese, unfolds as a story of great determination against language problems, cultural difficulties and of course financing a huge shift in lifestyle-from Hokkaido in Japan's far North to Canada. She started  started a formal study of soul level animal communication in 2016 and is the only Japanese to graduate from the Danielle MacKinnon school of animal communication. You can find her website by googling Keiko Watt. Now a Canadian citizen she shows us how it is only deep determination against the odds that will move us from one country to another in the long run. This is the first of many interviews conducted entirely in Japanese. 

Koichi Hirano has a truly powerful message in this age of lukewarm Christianity, a message of increasing faith and hope just when so many have given up on an ancient religion. With warmth, wisdom and unrelenting optimism he shares a life testing his faith on both sides of the Pacific showing us what it means to act as if you really do have a father in Heaven. Trained in Japan after a teenage crisis led him God he went to America as a young man. Despite language obstacles, lack of funding and in a completely foreign milieu he established several very successful churches and ended up in the creme de la creme of places, Santa Barbara California. But with an unbelievable sense of obedience he listened to the call to return to a country that had completely changed in the two decades away. Now the women call the men cute, the women are powerful and the men are rather lost. Now abstentee fathers are the norm and marriage has ceased to be an aim of the women. In both the East and the West believers have forgotten that their leader, Jesus was not just kind and caring, meek and mild but was actually wild and powerful in great measure. Despite being 74 and living with a severe physical handicap he shares his vision of becoming ever more powerful and effective as a modern pastor in a world of bland religion and lip service faith. One of a kind this pastor will revive your sense of the spiritual whatever your background.

Join Bob Mueller for an hour of real inspiration, joy and tough-guy tactics. Follow his extraordinary life journey to age 61 as he transforms a Canadian carpenter into an emmy award winning artist. Learn from Bob how every life can become extraordinary as he gleans wisdom from almost half a century of Japanese martial arts practise in combination with the  hard working application of karate philosophy. The Law of attraction will never work until you take action, and that is what Bob does best. With an unassuming eloquence he shares the real journey, against all odds, of how a true blue fan of American football's greatest hero, Dick Butkus, takes that passion and rediscovers the artist in himself. Imagine Bruce Lee meeting Anthony Robbins..they are then joined by Matisse for a tete a tete. Bob is a true warrior artist who takes us to that inevitable fact: that we all came here with a unique vibratory signature .. that is what gives us the greatest joy. To find it you have to look for it first, really look! Dick Butkus revealed Bob's genius. Who or what will reveal yours?

Pat Kennedy zeros in on a big issue: the use of mammograms in diagnosing breast cancer. Using four decades of experience as a registered nurse in Canada she carefully explains how 'informed consent' has been almost non-existent in this issue. A passionate and balanced defender of our right to know the risks involved in shooting radioactive material through a breast sandwiched between plates (with metal chips permanently embedded in the soft tissue!) often multiple times in one session, she offers a sane and safe alternative to knowing our body's condition. It is thermography i.e. minute measurement of temperature changes all over the human body. She does not claim to have all the answers and she is clear in stating what thermography can and can not do. Informative, wise, inspiring and most of all eloquent Pat gives us the highlights of a long career in helping people get informed about their own bodies, their own health.
