A little more magic and enchantment is exactly what we need in the world right now. How do we stop waiting for it to appear from outside of us, and bring our own willingness to be enchanted to the very moments we're currently in?Today's show explores how we've disconnected from our capacity for wonder, and how to get it back. We're surrounded by opportunities for enchantment in everyday moments but we're often too busy, too anxious or too lost in our stories to perceive it.In turning toward wonder, we can reconnect with the spark of magic that's always alive within us ~ and remember how to trust enchantment more than the strategies of protection and control that keep us from it.*This is a recast of an episode published in January of 2021.  Wanted to offer it again in the heart of Christmas.A Blessing for Presence by John O'DonohueMay you awaken to the mystery of being hereAnd enter the quiet immensity of your own presence.May you have joy and peace in the temple of your senses.May you receive great encouragement when new frontiers beckon.May you respond to the call of your giftAnd find the courage to follow its path.May the flame of anger free you from falsity.May warmth of heart keep your presence aflame and anxiety never linger about you. May your outer dignity mirror an inner dignity of soul.May you take time to celebrate the quiet miracles that seek no attention.May you be consoled in the secret symmetry of your soul.May you experience each day as a sacred gift woven around the heart of wonder.Source: O'Donohue, J., (1998).

When Bernard Moss was 22 years old, he was convicted of attempted murder and spent 28 years in San Quentin prison. 23 years into his sentence, he engaged in a year long program called GRIP, which ultimately led to his release from prison and his current career as a facilitator of the GRIP program to men still serving sentences. In today’s interview, Bernard shares a compelling account of his life in the culture of guns and drugs, the continuation of his life of crime while in prison and the powerful rehabilitation program that transformed his life.GRIP is an acronym for Guiding Rage Into Power, a program that was created to support healing and transformation for incarcerated people and their victims/survivors. The GRIP Program is an evidence-based methodology developed over 25 years. Rooted in Restorative Justice principles, the program’s trauma-informed model integrates cutting-edge neuroscience research.Students embark on an in-depth journey to comprehend the origins of their violence and develop skills to track and manage strong impulses rather than acting out in harmful ways. They transform destructive beliefs and behaviours into an attitude of emotional intelligence that prevents re-victimization.GRIP began in 2012 at San Quentin and has since expanded to 5 institutions. The GRIP Program has a 99.7% success rate. Since GRIP’s inception, 913 students have graduated and 321 have been released. Only one student has ever returned to prison (on a drug charge), giving a recidivism rate of 0.3%.Today’s Guest:Bernard Moss is a GRIP Facilitator, a peacemaker, and an expert in violence prevention, mindfulness, and emotional Intelligence. Bernard was one of the first to go through and graduate the GRIP program at San Quentin. After he graduated he went on to facilitate three GRIP groups. He was granted parole after 28 years and currently facilitates GRIP at Deuel Vocational Institute, and Mule Creek State Prison.Links mentioned in today’s show:GRIP: Guiding Rage into Power WEBSITEBernard Moss - GRIP FacilitatorDid this episode spark questions for you?

Disruptive energy is woven into the fabric of our lives. It alerts us that we’re being called away from life as we know it in order to discover something new about ourselves and about this experience of human-ing.Most of us avoid, resist and try to control change, and in doing so we miss the deeper and truer aspect of self that is trying to emerge. Choosing to ride the waves of the unexpected with genuine curiosity, and trusting change is an ally not an enemy, takes on an adventure of our own becoming.Today’s show is Part 1 of a story of choosing change, and a framework that served as a steady handrail and guide and a powerful torch to light the dark passages of doubt and hesitation. The Map of the Archetypal Cycles of Initiation is a brilliant structure created by Sarah Kerr, PhD. It’s designed to support you in navigating the chaos of change, and serves as a guide out of the comfort zone and toward your authentic self.

Her marathon adventure started in 2011 when she won a writing contest through CBC, who then sponsored her to compete in the Antarctic Ice Marathon.

Moving in a world of alternate currencies such as connection, generosity, trust and co-creation she’s discovered that:healing our personal trauma and helping others navigate theirs are inextricably connectedtaking better care of each other isn’t limited to the realms of fundraising, policy making and institutional structuresbringing our natural kindness to the world and making relationships the most important thing is essential medicine for the social issues of disconnection, homelessness, addiction and suicide.Nicole shares an inspiring story of a painful adolescent trauma that was re-activated and transformed through the sovereignty she’s gained on this path.She’s an advocate for building the freedom in our lives to move to where care is needed, because she’s learned it’s what enables us to perceive where our unique gifts, strengths and talents are best directed and shared.Links mentioned in today’s show:Under1000Skies: A website that connects homeless creatives to each other and to the world through showcasing their photography, artwork and poetry.Nicole’s Patreon pageDid this episode spark questions for you?

Episode Summary:Today’s show looks at the toxic, seductive and pervasive tribal behaviour of cancel culture and the echo chambers it creates.Show Notes:Writer, friend and all-around amazing being Kelly Madrone, a member of and advocate for the LGBTQ community and author of the book LGBTQ (now in it’s 3rd edition), joins me today to talk about the backlash against J.K. Rowling’s recent controversial comments on sex and gender, and shares why she felt compelled to write a piece that’s a call to cancel the cancelling.We explore how mob mentality and attack are being wielded as weapons to shut down contrary points of view—and the constricting impact it’s having on respectful, meaningful and creative dialogue. Kelly discusses her scientific perspective on the biology of gender and shares how it complements her spiritual beliefs and informs her perspective on the gender conversation.We also share some of the ways that we're challenging ourselves to bring greater levels of complexity in response to reductionist perspectives and engage in productive public discourse with discernment, compassion and responsibility for the clarity of our point of view.Listen to Part 2 of our discussion here: Un_Cancelling J.K.Rowling with Kelly Madrone: Part 2Links to the moving parts mentioned in the episode:Kelly’s piece on J.K.

Episode Summary:As soon as we commit to a point of view, we’ve shifted out of an ever-evolving, ongoing sense making and into the perceived safety of certainty. Clarity requires a willingness to die to what you believed this morning as you open to integrate the new insights that appear throughout the day.Show Notes:On today’s show I’m looking at the polarization, divisiveness and cancel culture that we’re currently navigating in our public discourse.I’m sharing some thoughts from a brilliant thinker I’ve recently been introduced to named Daniel Schmachtenberger. Daniel is an evolutionary philosopher and a social engineer who sheds light on the fact that we live in a disinformation ecology.His primary message is that is that we have gotten sloppy and lazy in our personal sense-making. We've come to defer responsibility for the integrity of our information to:external authoritythe expertsthe political party that we're aligned withthe news media that we followthe in-group that we belong toWe aren’t tracking the full epistemology of the information we're consuming, and as a result we’re not clear specifically why we believe what we believe.Daniel offers sound guidance about how to reclaim our sovereignty and our personal capacity to evaluate the complexity of our world, so that we truly empowered to collectively work together to address the issues humanity is up against.Links/Awesome Humans mentioned in the episode:Daniel Schmachtenberger - The War on Sense Making: Part 1Daniel Schmachtenberger - The War on Sense Making: Part 2Daniel Schmachtenberger WebsiteDid this episode spark questions for you?

Episode Summary:Awareness reveals our reaction to life. Self-awareness helps us understand what's really trying to get our attention and why, and supports us in responding with presence, clarity and creativity.Show Notes:On today’s show I’m talking about the difference between awareness and self-awareness and why the distinction is important.Deepak Chopra teaches that no matter what is happening in our experience, we’re in one of 3 mental states:unconsciousawareself-awareThe shift from unconscious to aware can be challenging, because now you’re awake to your struggle, but still caught in it. Ego can use awareness to keep you looping around in an attempt to control or fix your experience.Self-awareness takes you deeper into your experience and helps you process what’s happening so that you can stay in the flow of life and create with whatever is showing up in your world.Join me to hear a story about how I got caught in the loop, and how self-awareness helped me reconnect with myself and life from a place of curiosity, kindness and care.Did this episode spark questions for you?

Episode Summary: The most potent activism doesn't come from the head, it comes from what the body knows and feels. It comes from some 'wrong' that your specific sensitivity feels deeply, and that’s the call. That is the world—activating you to move forward.Show Notes:Join us today for Part 1 of my conversation with Philip Shepherd. Philip is an international authority on embodiment and author of New Self, New World - Recovering our Senses in the 21st Century and Radical Wholeness - The Embodied Present and the Ordinary Grace of Being. On today's show Philip speaks to a return to wholeness, and how activism is most effective when it's coming from a place of deep embodiment. He shares his thoughts on the intersection between embodiment and social activism and responds to these thoughtful questions from listeners: If our essential nature is wholeness then how does it happen that an entity pits itself against the whole in service of its own best interests? (15:00)What does activism look like through the lens of wholeness? (23:55) Can you scale a business and stay in integrity, and if so, what does that look like? (32:15) There seems to be a movement characterizing tyranny and violence as a product of ”whiteness” - do you see this as an accurate perspective? (34:35) Ostracization and vilification of contrary points of view are common place in public discourse. How do we stay in wholeness and connection as we navigate diverse perspectives and challenging dialogues? (40:32)How does one formulate personally meaningful questions as we live in a world of disinformation, divisiveness, polarization and chaos?

The idea of right and wrong is binary, separation thinking that keeps us at odds with ourselves and others. It moves us away from possibility and into the energies of control, defensiveness and domination that interfere with moving clearly through conflict.Since conflict is an inevitable aspect of life as things evolve and shift to the next level of expansion - I'm exploring how to welcome and trust the disruption that is inherent in this creative process.On today’s show I share a story of shifting aversion and resistance to conflict into an authentic desire to lean into connection, and co-create with clarity and a curious, wide open heart.Links mentioned in the episode:Under the Skin Podcast - Russel Brand and Eckhart Tolle *You have to subscribe to Luminary to listen, but it’s good bang for the buck.Did this episode spark questions for you?

There’s a virus running parallel to the Coronavirus. It’s the energetic virus of fear and anxiety, and it attacks our natural resilience and weakens our immune system. The good news is there’s a powerful antidote that we have direct access to. Today’s show focuses on why toxic fear patterns perpetuate, how we can build our immunity to them. The episode ends with a short guided mindfulness practice to get you grounded in your calm, wise, creative self.Show Notes:On today’s show I talk about how the Coronavirus is agitating and illuminating ego driven, fear fuelled pattens that are part of being human—and how to meet them powerfully when they get activated.We have a tendency to distort the experience of fear into a sustained, repeating, unchanging narrative, which perpetuates a state of stress and wreaks havoc with our immune systems. Let's explore why we generate negative emotional states, why "getting rid of them" is an ineffective, short term strategy - and a better way to go when you want to stay grounded, clear, and creative in the midst of uncertainty. The episode finishes with a short guided mediation to support you in connecting with a place of calm to anchor to. Once you know this place in yourself, you’ll know how to find your way back to it, and you can use it to build a practice of coming home to your okay-ness in any moment. *Note: The 5 minute meditation begins at 26:15.Listen to Part 2 here:Staying Curious and Creative in Moments of Fear: Part 2Did this episode spark questions for you?
