Ben Stookesberry paddles kayaks in his home state of Montana, and around the world. In his teen years he learned to make home movies showing off his rollerblading moves, and in college he learned to kayak. Today he blends the paddling and film making as he runs rivers in global settings. He has created deep and lasting friendships in his travels, and returns to rivers again and again, to paddle more stretches, to learn more, and sometimes to engage in protection work. In this episode, Ben talks through all of this with us, and goes into depth about his current paddling and film efforts on the Jatunyacu and Mulatos Rivers in Ecuador.GUESTSBen Stookesberry@benstookesberryBio @ KokatatBio @ Jackson KayakLatest Film:  ¡Ay Chihuahua!Diego Robles:  @ecuskayaker RESOURCESEcuadorian Rivers Institute@ecuadorianriversSteven Donzinger storySavages, book, by Joe Kane PADDLERS TO FOLLOW@ecuskayaker (Diego)@williehenkel@wyatt_doyle@salmonsourcetosea@elizabeth.tobey@brookehess@oceansandmountains (Hailey)@pedroolivakaiak@riverratmountainkat@mayuwarmikayak@teepee_boys SPONSORSDenver Area Nissan Dealers@nissanusa     THE RIVER RADIUSWebsiteRunoff signup (episode newsletter)InstagramFacebookApple PodcastSpotifyLink Tree

In this episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, Paul F. Austin speaks with Jhaimy Alvarez-Acosta, a traditional Andean curandero from Cusco, Peru, about lineage, ceremony, and responsibility within Indigenous wisdom traditions. Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-341/?ref=278  They explore Andean cosmology as a living worldview and reframe master plant work as a form of deep education rather than clinical healing. The conversation emphasizes mentorship, initiation through lived experience, and healing as a relational process rooted in land, ancestors, and community. Maestro Jhaimy Alvarez Acosta has walked the path of Andean wisdom for over thirty years, guiding ceremonies and pilgrimages throughout the Andes and internationally. His work emphasizes humility, relationship, and long-term commitment to lineage-based traditions. Highlights: Fear as a guide rather than an obstacle Initiation through lived experience Huachuma in Andean tradition Roles within Indigenous healing lineages Master plants as teachers, not tools Healing as acceptance and relationship Andean cosmology in the modern world Mentorship and community-based learning Episode Links: Children of the Seven Rays Heart of the Condor Podcast Jhaimy's Instagram Episode Sponsors: The Practitioner Certification Program by Third Wave's Psychedelic Coaching Institute.

#761 What if growing your home service business slower is actually the fastest path to profit and freedom? In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with returning guest Mike Andes, founder of Augusta Lawn Care, to break down how home service businesses can grow without getting crushed by seasonality, overhead, or the “bigger is better” trap. Mike shares his origin story (including starting college at 13!), then dives into his practical “off-season cures” (from winter services to inverse-demand add-ons like holiday lights), how pay-for-performance compensation can drive speed and quality with the right guardrails, and why open-book management + profit sharing can align the whole team like owners. They also unpack Mike's “Copy + Paste” growth philosophy — focusing on profitability and smart capacity limits before scaling locations — plus why many operators would be better off raising prices and reducing ad dependency than endlessly chasing more revenue! What we discuss with Mike: + Solving the off-season + Five “cures” for seasonality + Winter services & subscriptions + Inverse demand add-on services + Pay-for-performance pay model + Quality control & “yellow slips” + Open-book management basics + Profit sharing incentives + Copy-and-paste growth strategy + Raising prices vs. chasing growth Thank you, Mike!

En el año 1701, los indios chiriguanos, del pueblo guaraní, navegaron el río Pilcomayo hasta llegar a la frontera del imperio de los incas. En el Valle de Salinas divisaron, maravillados, las primeras alturas de los Andes, y decidieron sentar bases. Un día aparecieron en su comarca, también después de mucho andar, los frailes franciscanos de Chuquisaca. En sus alforjas llevaban objetos extraños y fascinantes. Afortunadamente, no se hicieron rogar los mensajeros de Dios antes de abrir y mostrarles aquellos objetos. Más bien, aprovecharon el visible interés que manifestaron para comunicarles, por medio de intérpretes, que eran libros sagrados. Como aquellos indígenas nunca antes habían visto el papel, ni se les había ocurrido que lo necesitaban, no tenían en su propio idioma ninguna palabra para llamarlo. Así que cuando se enteraron de que el papel servía para enviar mensajes a los amigos que estaban lejos, decidieron ponerle por nombre «piel de Dios».1 El hecho de que los chiriguanos relacionaran el papel con la piel no tiene mayor importancia, pues desde tiempos antiguos hasta hoy se escribe y se forran libros en pergamino, que procede precisamente de la piel de animales. Pero es muy significativo que esa piel fuera la de Dios, y que la razón fuera que el papel sirve para enviar mensajes a los amigos que están lejos. Porque lo cierto es que Dios el Padre, desde el cielo lejano, envió a la tierra a su Hijo Jesucristo como su mensaje encarnado, forrado con piel humana,2 a fin de dar la vida por nosotros y así identificarse como el amigo que más nos ama. Antes de morir, Cristo dijo que «nadie tiene amor más grande que el dar la vida por sus amigos».3 Con eso nos dio a entender que su muerte serviría no sólo para salvarnos, sino también para demostrarnos que es nuestro mejor amigo. Lo que Dios espera de nosotros es que correspondamos al supremo amor de Cristo aceptando su oferta de amistad. No tenemos que hacer nada para merecerla, pero sí tenemos que aceptarla para que se haga realidad en nuestra vida. De nada nos sirve que Cristo haya dado la vida por nosotros si no le entregamos la nuestra a Él. ¿Por qué no le enviamos un mensaje de vuelta al que nos ofrece la mejor amistad del mundo? Digámosle: «Querido Señor Jesucristo, gracias por tu amor y tu amistad. Los acepto consciente de que no he hecho, ni jamás podré hacer, nada para merecerlos. Perdona todo pecado que he cometido y toda infidelidad pasada de la que sea culpable. Toma posesión completa de mi vida. Ayúdame a servirte de todo corazón y a ser fiel amigo tuyo hasta la muerte. Gracias porque, lejos de estar distante, has querido estar conmigo hasta el fin del mundo.4 Y gracias porque un día te limitaste a piel humana como la mía, para que la mía pueda un día ser glorificada como la tuya.» Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Eduardo Galeano, Memoria del fuego II: Las caras y las máscaras, 17a ed.

Every time the forecast even whispers the word “snow” down here, the grocery store turns into a zombie movie with shopping carts. Milk vanishes. Bread disappears. People act like they're about to be trapped in the Andes for six months… when the reality is usually a couple days of icy roads and everyone staying home.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we are joined yet again by our pal and Hall of Fame trail name holder Marla Davidson, better known as "Fancy Feast".  Fancy Feast is a wealth of knowledge and unfortunate and embarrassing stories. She shares a nasty medical mishap involving poodle dog bush on the PCT, we look back at her time with the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps, where she and other "malnourished minors" subsisted on moldy bread and Sriracha, which was presented as a vegetable.  Fancy Feast gives us an overview of her 2024 calendar hikes of the PCT and CDT, her experience navigating the Hayduke Trail with Horsepower (former guest) after he convinced her with a PowerPoint presentation, and the hilarious mismatch in hiking styles from this somewhat random pairing.  She details what it's like being a PNTA crew lead, and the challenges associated in light of funding cuts and crews being reduced to a skeleton staff.  Feast also shares standout stories from her international travels, including a "pig water" disaster in the Andes, her time at the Green Mountain Club with a persistent bear that turned her food box into a rolling pinata, and her hot takes on thru-hiker "main character energy" and entitlement.  We wrap the show with whether we'd rather have three butt cheeks or just one, the triple crown of mild yet particular icks or phobias, and the news of how one Hayduke hiker got caught in quicksand. Yes, really.  LMNT: Get a free sample pack with any order at drinklmnt.com/trek.

We will discuss how to be love, in action, in the midst of fiery reactivity. We will explore how to move beyond spiritual rhetoric to an actual embodiment of our values. We will share sacred tools for doing the transformational work of 2026, and we will support you in moving from a vision of your purpose into daily intentional practice.

Grace Under Fire – Free Live Series https://subscribepage.io/GraceUnderFire   It’s Time To Cross the Threshold Meet Your Power Differently and Ride the Fire Horse Does it feel like life is pushing you harder than usual? Are you being pulled in a thousand directions by the people you care about? Are you questioning who you are and where you’re going? The way you’ve been living is not sustainable. You are not burned out because you're weak. You're tired because you're carrying intensity that your old tools were never designed to hold. More is being asked of us than ever before. More responsibility. More emotional labor. More truth. More fire. And now, the temperature is rising even higher with the Fire Horse entering on February 17, 2026. Every 60 years, the Fire Horse brings transformative yang energy that either purifies or overwhelms. The last Fire Horse was 1966 – a year that brought massive cultural shifts, breakthroughs in consciousness, and radical change. Astrologically, this means that the pressure is building and it’s likely to get more intense in 2026 than it already has been. You don’t have to know a lot about astrology to see for yourself that the old strategies of numbing, pushing, or self-improvement will not work anymore to get you through this. You’re being invited to cross a threshold that will change how you meet life’s challenges.

Comenzaremos la primera parte del programa hablando de las críticas que ha generado el regalo que le hizo María Corina Machado a Donald Trump al darle su premio Nobel de la Paz; y de la ausencia de Lula da Silva en la firma del acuerdo comercial entre el Mercosur y la Unión Europea. Hablaremos también de un nuevo estudio que indica que los astronautas que pasan tiempo en el espacio regresan con cambios estructurales en su cerebro; y por último, del grupo de pop coreano BTS y su regreso a los escenarios después de años de servicio militar.    La segunda parte del programa estará dedicada a la lengua y cultura de Latinoamérica.

Juliana is also a Patagonia Brand Ambassador and an AIARE Avalanche Education Instructor and POW ambassador. She served as “board member” at the IFMGA for six years and became the first female and non-European to occupy that position. Recently she was recognized by the IFMGA as an “honorary member”. Juliana got her “ski guide” diploma this spring 2025 in U.S by the AMGA. She became the first female Latin American to obtain this status as a full IFMGA. She is passionate aboutlearning and sharing.Episode Intro:Dear listeners of the Female Guides Requested Podcast,welcome back! I am your host, Ting Ting, from Las Vegas. Today's guest is a true trailblazer in the international guiding community: Juliana Garcia. Juliana is an Ecuadorian mountain guide whose career is a series of "firsts". She was the first woman to pass the rigorous aspirant exams in the Bolivian system and became the first female IFMGA-certified guide in all of Latin America. Juliana's influence extends far beyond the technical terrain of the Andes. She served two terms as the president of the Ecuadorian Mountain Guides Association, where she was instrumental in bringing their national school up to international standards. She also shattered glass ceilings at the highest level of the profession as the first woman ever to sit on the board of the IFMGA. At the time of this interview, Juliana was based in Washington state and was in the final stages of a multi-year journey to become a certified ski guide—a discipline she picked upas an adult to bring high-level snow science and safety back to her home community in Ecuador. (And to no one's surprise, she passed!) Now, let's dive into Juliana's inspiring life journey—her transition from volcanoes to the Cascades, the power of mentorship, and why she believes the most important tool a guide can have is the ability to listen.Links:Her Place in the Mountains – Patagonia StoriesJuliana's Instagram page – julianagarciaguideQuotes:I'm just a person that loves to be outside, loves to be in the mountains. yeah, that's it, I think.When I became part of the board… I became the first female to sit at that board ever. That blew my mind. I was like, ‘You kidding me?I knew that that discipline exist… and I was like, what? I'm going to learn how to ski as an adult. I'm going to learn a lot of our snow science and I'm going to do it.I love sharing how people put themselves outside of their limits, sometimes and they do it and they found joy doing it. I love to be part of that journey of other people.I think we are really good on listening. I think we are really good on perceiving what is going on in our surroundings when we are guiding… and I think we're really good on not being ashamed to turn around.I don't care anymore. I don't need to prove anything to anybody… I realized… I was pushing myself for no reason… no one is going to pushing me… I'm doing my own path.What we can do to help is just to choose to be uncomfortable for a moment in our daily life… We need to choose in our daily life things that we can do that support the energy overall.

WhoJimmy Ackerson, General Manager of Corralco, ChileRecorded onJuly 24, 2025About CorralcoClick here for a mountain stats overviewLocated in: Curacautín, Araucanía, ChileYear founded: 2003, by Enrique BascurPass affiliations: Indy Pass, Indy+ Pass – 2 days, no blackoutsBase elevation: 4,724 feet (1,440 meters)Summit elevation: 7,874 feet (2,400 meters) top of lifts; 9,400 feet (2,865 meters) hike-toVertical drop: 3,150 feet (960 meters) lift-served; 4,676 feet (1,425 meters) hike-toSkiable acres: 2,475 acres lift served; 4,448 acres (1,800 hectares), including hike-to terrainAverage annual snowfall: 354 inches (899 cm)Trail count: 34Lift count: 7 (1 high-speed quad, 1 double, 5 J-bars)Why I interviewed himThe Andes run the length of South America, 4,300 miles from the southern tip of Argentina north to Venezuela. It is the longest continental mountain range on Earth, nearly six times the length of the Alps and 1,300 miles longer than the Rockies. It is the highest mountain range outside of Asia, topping out at 22,841 feet on Mount Aconcagua, more than a mile higher than the tallest point in the Rockies (14,439-foot Mount Elbert) or Alps (15,772-foot Mont Blanc).So this ought to be one hell of a ski region, right? If the Alps house more than 500 ski areas and the Rockies several hundred, then the Andes ought to at least be in the triple digits?Surprisingly, no. Of the seven nations transected by the Andes, only Argentina and Chile host outdoor, lift-served ski areas. Between the two countries, I'm only able to assemble a list of 37 ski areas, 33 of which skiresort.info categorizes as “temporarily closed” – a designation the site typically reserves for outfits that have not operated over the past several seasons.For skiers hoping to live eternal winter by commuting to the Upside Down each May through October, this roster may be a bit of a record scratch. There just aren't that many ski areas in the Southern Hemisphere. Outside of South America, the balance – another few dozen total - sit in Australia and New Zealand, with scattered novelties such as Afriski lodged at the top of Lesotho. There are probably more ski areas in New England than there are south of the equator.That explains why the U.S.-based multimountain ski passes have been slow to move into the Southern Hemisphere – there isn't much there to move into. Ikon and Mountain Collective each have just one destination on the continent, and it's the same destination: Valle Nevado. Epic offers absolutely nothing in South America.Even with few options, Vail moved south a decade ago with its purchase of Perisher, Australia's largest ski area. That English-speaking nation was a logical first pass frontier, but the five Kangaroo resorts claimed by the Epic and Ikon passes are by far the five largest in the country, and they're a 45-year flight from America. New Zealand is similarly remote, with more but generally less-developed ski areas, and Ikon has established a small presence there.But South America remains mostly wide open, despite its obvious appeal to North Americans: the majesty of the Andes, the novelty of summer skiing, and direct flights with no major timezone hopping required. Mountain Capital Partners has dropped anchor in Chile, purchasing Valle Nevado in 2023, neighboring La Parva the following year, and bidding for also-neighboring El Colorado in 2025 (that sale is pending regulatory review).But perhaps it's time for a broader invasion. Last March, Indy Pass added Corralco as its first South American – and first Southern Hemisphere – ski area. That, as Ackerson and I discuss in the podcast, could be just the start of Indy's ambitions for a continent-spanning (or at least, Argentina- and Chile-spanning) resort network.So this is a good time to start getting to know Chilean skiing. And Ackerson, longtime head of the Chilean Ski Areas Association, former leader of Chilean giants Portillo and Valle Nevado, and a Connecticut-born transplant who has been living the upside-down life for more than 50 years, is probably better suited than anyone on the planet to give us that intro.What we talked aboutReverse ski seasons; why Corralco draws (and retains) so much more snow than any other ski area in Chile; no snowmaking; Corralco as training ground for national ski teams; the logistics of moving a high-speed quad from Holiday Valley, New York to the Chilean Andes; rebuilding a lift as a longer machine; how that lift transformed Corralco; new lift, new alignment; the business impact of replacing a double chair with a high-speed quad; how a dude who grew up in Connecticut with non-skiing parents ended up running a ski area in South America; Chile's allure; Portillo; Chilean skiing past and present; Corralco's founding and evolution; shrinking South American ski areas; Mountain Capital Partners (MCP) buying four more ski areas in Chile after purchasing Valle Nevado in 2023 and La Parva in 2024; the Americans are coming; why La Parva, Valle Nevado, and El Colorado “have to be consolidated” for the benefit of future skiing in Chile; MCP's impact on Chilean skiing so far; “the culture is very different here” both on the hill and off; MCP's challenges as they settle into Chilean skiing; why Corralco joined Indy Pass; a potential Indy Pass network in South America; and getting to Corralco from the U.S., from airplane to access road – “we have no switchbacks.”What I got wrong* In the intro, I said that it was the “heart of ski season in South America.” This was true when we recorded this conversation in July 2025. It's not true in January 2026, when the Chilean ski season is long over.* I said the highest peak in Chile only received a few inches of snow per year and didn't retain it, but I couldn't remember the name of the peak – it is 22,615-foot Ojos del Salado.* I gave new stats for Corralco's high-speed quad, but did not mention where those stats came from – my source was skiresort.info, which catalogues a 4,921-foot length and 1,148-foot vertical drop for the lift, both substantially longer than the 4,230-foot length and 688-foot vertical rise that Lift Blog documents for the antecedent Mardi Gras lift at Holiday Valley, New York. We discuss the logistics and mechanics of moving this machine from North to South America and extending it in the pod. Here are a few pics of this machine I took in New York in January 2022:Podcast NotesOn Corralco's evolving footprintCorralco is a new-ish ski area, at least insofar as public access goes. The 2008 trailmap shows a modest vertical drop served by surface lifts:But growth has been rapid, and by 2022, the ski area resembled modern Corralco, which is now an international training center for athletes:On Camp Jewel, ConnecticutAckerson learned to ski on a two-tow bump called Camp Jewell, a YMCA center in Connecticut. NELSAP has some fun info on this defunct ski area, including photos of what's left of the lifts.On Sigi GrottendorderAckerson's conduit to South American skiing came in the form of Austrian-born Sigi Grottendorfer, who led the ski schools at both Sugarbush, Vermont and Portillo, Chile. He passed away in 2023 – The Valley Reporter ran an obituary with more info on Grottendorfer's expansive and colorful life.On Chile “five years after the coup had occurred”We reference past political instability in Chile, referring to the 1973 coup that launched the military dictatorship of the notorious Augusto Pinochet. The nation transitioned back to democracy in 1990 and is considered safe and stable for tourists by the U.S. State Department.On PortilloWe discuss Portillo, a Chilean ski area whose capacity limits and weeklong ski-and-stay packages result in Windham-is-private-style (it's not) confusion. Skiers can visit Portillo on a day pass. Lift tickets are all of $68. Still, the hotel experience is, by all accounts, pretty rad. Here's the bump:On previous podcastsWe mention a few previous podcast guests who had parallels to Ackerson's story. Bogus Basin GM Brad Wilson also left skiing for several years to run a non-ski resort:Longtime Valle Nevado GM Ricardo Margolis appeared on this podcast in 2023:On the shrinking of Volcán Osorno and PillánI won't reset the entire history here, but I broke down the slow shrinkage of Volcán Osorno and Pillán ski areas when Mountain Capital Partners bid to purchase them last year:On Kamori Kankō buying HeavenlyFor a brief period, Japanese company Kamori Kankō owned Steamboat and Heavenly. The company sold both to American Skiing Company in 1997, and they eventually split owners, with Heavenly joining Vail's roster in 2002, and Steamboat now part of Alterra by way of Intrawest. Today, Kamori Kankō appears to operate five ski areas in Japan, all in Hokkaido, most notably Epic Pass partner Rusutsu:On MCP's free season passes for kids 12 and underOne pretty cool thing that Mountain Capital Partners has brought to Chile from its U.S. HQ is free season passes for kids 12 and under. It's pretty incredible:On Sugarbush Ackerson worked for a long time at Sugarbush, an Alterra staple and one of the best overall ski areas in New England. It's a fully modern resort, with the exception of the knockout Castle Rock terrain, which still spins a double chair on all-natural snow:On skiing El ColoradoWe discuss the insane, switchbacking access road up to El Colorado/La Parva/Valle Nevado from Santiago:The route up to Corralco is far more suited to mortals:The Storm explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round.

Many of our followers turn to us for product recommendations as they remove toxic chemical exposures from their everyday products such as household and personal care products. While household and personal care products can contribute a significant amount of exposure to harmful chemicals such as BPA, phthalates and parabens. These are not the only exposure sources. A recent study from the Center for Environmental Health (CEH) found BPA in sports bras and baby socks. BPA enters clothing during the manufacturing process of polyester, which can help dyes hold and prevent static. The exposure of BPA through skin may actually be worse than ingesting it as the body detox process takes longer. This is why we should choose clothes made from sustainable materials such as organic cotton and wool. Today we invited Meli and Rensso Hinostroza, brother and sister, from AYA Eco Fashion and Arms of Andes to join us to talk about these two fast growing plastic-free fashion brands they created. We are going to discuss their materials, manufacturing process and their bigger visions for a more sustainable planet.Learn more about AYA and Arms of Andes: https://ecoaya.com/ https://armsofandes.com/Get tested for BPA, phthalates, parabens, and other hormone-disrupting chemicals with Million Marker's Test Kit: https://www.millionmarker.com/

Joanne Urioste is an American rock climber who was inducted into the elite group of Honorary Members of the American Alpine Club which includes 136 climbers worldwide “who have had a lasting and highly significant impact on the advancement of the climbing craft.” In the late 1970s and early 80s, she and her husband, Jorge, established many internationally-recognized long technical climbs in the Red Rocks of Southern Nevada. She was the first woman to publish the first guidebook—ever—to a major climbing area that was previously unknown. She also contributed to pioneering ultra-distance adventure running in the 1990s. She lives with Jorge in Las Vegas, NV, and continues to establish first ascents, even in her seventies.Episode Intro:Welcome back to the Female Guides Requested. Happy New Year! This is your host Ting Ting from Las Vegas. Today's guest is a legendary figure whose name is etched into the very sandstone of Red Rock Canyon. Joanne Urioste is a pioneering rock climber, author, and guide who re-imagined what was possible on the towering walls of the American Southwest.Starting her climbing journey in the early 1970s—a time when female climbers were often sidelined—Joanne sought out the high-risk, death-defying situations that most would avoid to prove her independence and mastery. Alongside her husband Jorge, she established hundreds of first ascents that are now world-renowned classics, including Epinephrine, Crimson Chrysalis, and Levitation 29.Joanne didn't just climb; she literally wrote the book on the region, publishing the original Red Rock guidebook in 1984. After a ten-year hiatus to raise her children—a period where she channeled her drive into becoming an elite ultra-runner—she returned to the rock with a renewed passion. Today, we sit down in her home to discuss her ‘renegade' early days, the evolution of climbing ethics, and why she believes that taking risks is the only way to truly stay alive.Links:Book: Collages of Rock & Desire: Re-imagining Climbing in Red Rock, Risk in the Andes & Running into Dreams (amazon)Quotes:On the spirit of climbing: “It doesn't matter if you are physically disabled or not perfect. If you have the spirit and love of climbing, there are different ways that you can climb.”On her ‘renegade' beginnings: “We were just absolute renegades, just you know, shooting from the hip. Boom, boom! Let's do this! Let's do that!”On the intensity of managing risk: “Calculation, risk assessment was the game… you had very strong consequences if you did not calculate correctly.”On the purpose of pushing limits: “This was not about enjoyment. This was about managing the risk in a way that was where you would survive. Pitting yourself against very strong elements and succeeding.”On the ‘Bolting Police': “As we started putting up better and better routes that were like amazing, then people started recognizing that… they started having tremendous hatred for us. As a matter of fact, that type of hatred actually pushed us to do more outrageous things.”On climbing as a spiritual act: “I wanted to really put yourself out there so that you would calculate as humbly as you could with nature and lay yourself down… almost as a form of worship to the natural forces.”On the unique wisdom of female climbers: “The groups of men will absolutely plug their ears and not listen to my advice… it's actually detrimental to the men because they would benefit from the wisdom that they're not listening to.”On why she continues to seek risk: “Having some risk in everything that I do… just keeps me alive. It expands my humanity. Looking at my weakest points and trying to work on them a little bit… it's just such a beautiful way to live.”

This week, in a special episode of Hold Your Fire!, Richard is joined by Crisis Group's Caracas-based senior Andes region analyst Phil Gunson to unpack the U.S. military operation in Venezuela that led to the capture of President Nicolás Maduro and to assess what may come next. They examine how the operation unfolded, how it was experienced inside Venezuela, and the government's initial response. They discuss Vice President Delcy Rodríguez's assumption of power and whether Washington may be willing to work with a Maduro-less but still Chavista government to secure oil concessions rather than pursue full regime change. They talk about what Trump meant when he said the U.S. would “run” Venezuela. They also explore the weakened state of the opposition, the role of the military and armed groups, regional reactions, and the prospects for resolving Venezuela's political crisis. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

After a months-long pressure campaign, the U.S. military stormed into Caracas this weekend, capturing Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. We look at what this means for the future of Venezuela—with Phil Gunson, a senior analyst for the Andes region of the International Crisis Group and Luis Duno-Gottberg, a Venezuelan scholar, and the Lee Hage Jamail Professor of Latin American Studies at Rice University.

https://vimeo.com/1147502145?fl=ip&fe=ec What if your spiritual awakening requires you to go through madness of some sort or other, and mess? In order to really fully embody yourself as human and divine. It's such a horribly lovely journey to go through that madness. Today's guest, Jon Kohrs is with us, as we dive into this topic of madness, navigating your life in relationships and personal discovery and more.  Join us, to find out more! Jon Kohrs has spent twenty years in corporate America as a business and executive coach.  He is a teacher, as well as an advocate for caregivers and he is the author of, Getting Unstuck by Design.  Jon uses experiential teaching methods grounded in Reiki, Andean energy practices, shamanism, Jungian alchemy and mystic traditions. Jon Kohrs is a Chestnut-Paes Enneagram Academy Certified Coach and utilizes the Enneagram to design systems that help leaders in some of the most highly bureaucratic organizations in the United States to unlearn how they work, unlock organizational potential, creatively facilitate change within their team and work in a whole new way. In an effort to break the norms of how we express ourselves authentically, Jon Kohrs wrote, Horribly Lovely, a spiritual romantic memoir of a man's unconventional journey through love, addiction, infidelity, heartbreak, the overall messiness of being human and searching for the beauty of beginning again and again. It is a soulful story told with raw honesty,  poetic intensity and written with psychological depth to explore the truest sense of love and what remains after heartbreak. It is an ideal companion for anyone who's ever felt broken in a relationship or lost in their search for the perfect love story. Watch or listen to the show to find encouragement for facing the madness and messiness of our human journey and embodying yourself as fully human and fully divine.

His writing defies genre, weaving symbolic narratives that are dreamlike, lyrical, and poetic—inviting readers into the raw, unfiltered beauty of being human.  With roots in shamanism, the Enneagram, and Jungian alchemy, Jon explores the phenomenological experience of love—how it melts the hardened statues of identity and invites us to play with the clay of the soul. Through this work, he seeks to break the norms of expression and awaken truth in its most idiosyncratic, real, and uncomfortable forms.  Jon also works as a designer, coach, and teacher who bridges the worlds of inner transformation and organizational innovation. He helps leaders shape visionary ideas into ventures that honor both soul and strategy.  Jon dives into the depth not to explain reality, but to live into his own truth. He lives in Kansas City with his three children and is a relative of the Slovenian writer Ivan Tavčar.

Imaginez, vous vous baladez, dans une forêt tropicale. Quand tout à coup, des odeurs de Saucisse de Francfort et de salade de pomme de terresviennent vous chatouiller les narines. Non vous n'êtes pas à Berlin mais bien au Pérou, coincé quelque part entre les Andes et l'Amazonie. Bienvenue à Oxapampa. C'est ici, que des colons allemands ont posé leur valise il y a 150 ans et leurs descendants comptent bien conserver les traditions. Un reportage de Martin Chabal   Oxapampa, petite ville de près de 20 000 habitants nichée au cœur des Andes tropicales péruviennes, semble tout droit sortie de la Forêt-Noire allemande. Fondée au milieu du XIXᵉ siècle par des colons austro-allemands, leurs descendants revendiquent encore aujourd'hui cet héritage singulier. Chaque année, ils célèbrent leurs origines lors d'un défilé coloré et parfois kitsch, mêlant costumes traditionnels, chars décorés et musique folklorique. Cette fête raconte l'histoire des familles fondatrices, comme celle des Albergrin, et intrigue les touristes, surpris de découvrir une culture germanique transplantée au cœur de la jungle andine.  Nasry Asfura déclaré vainqueur de l'élection présidentielle au Honduras  La presse revient largement sur cette proclamation qui intervient après des semaines de vives contestations postélectorales et d'un climat d'incertitude qui a tenu la population en haleine, écrit le journal Processo. Connu du grand public sous les surnoms de « Tito » ou « Papi a la orden », Nasry Asfuras'emploie à projeter l'image d'un candidat proche des gens, écrit la chaîne CNN en espagnol. S'il accède à la présidence du Honduras, le président élu devra aussi répondre à d'autres enjeux majeurs, estime CNN: la crainte des Honduriens face aux fraudes de la classe politique, la situation économique, l'emploi et la corruption, qui figurent parmi les principales préoccupations de la population. Bien que l'homme d'affaires promette « un gouvernement transparent » dans lequel le peuple « puisse avoir la certitude que ses fonds et ses impôts sont bien gérés », il lui faudra construire cette légitimité au sein d'un Parti national du Honduras terni par des affaires de corruption et par la condamnation pour narcotrafic de l'ancien président et dirigeant du parti, Juan Orlando Hernández.    Si les résultats du scrutin sont validés définitivement, cette l'élection représenterait aussi une victoire pour le président américain Donald Trump. C'est ce qu'on peut dans le New York Times. Le journal rappelle que Donald Trump a apporté son soutien au candidat conservateur, quelques jours avant le scrutin. Le président a déclaré sur les réseaux sociaux qu'ils pourraient travailler ensemble pour faire face aux « narco-communistes » — un terme péjoratif désignant le parti de gauche au pouvoir au Honduras et ses alliés dans la région, notamment le Venezuela — et pour acheminer de l'aide vers le pays.  Aux Etats-Unis, des millions d'enfants ont pu suivre la trajectoire du Père Noël.   Encore une fois, le père Noël est traqué par le très sérieux Commandement de la défense aérospatiale de l'Amérique du Nord, le NORAD. C'est à la Une de Newsweek. Ce qui a commencé par un appel téléphonique composé par erreur en 1955 est devenu une tradition très appréciée. A l'époque, un enfant a appelé le NORAD par accident. L'officier de service, le colonel Harry Shoup, a joué le jeu, lançant ainsi ce rendez-vous annuel. Une tradition à laquelle même les présidents n'y échappent pas. Donald Trump a ainsi parlé aux jeunes auditeurs via le Commandement de la défense aérospatiale de l'Amérique du Nord. Lors de ses conservations il a assuré de veiller à ce que le père Noël est sage et qu'il n'y ait pas de mauvais père Noël qui s'infiltrent dans le pays. Après avoir décroché le téléphone, il a publié un message virulent, souhaitant un « Joyeux Noël à tous, y compris – je cite - à la racaille d'extrême gauche ».   Haïti :  « Réveillez-vous »   C'est le titre de l'éditorial de Frantz Duval qui était en direct dans le  journal pour parcourir la Une du Nouvelliste. Le rédacteur en chef estime qu'en « rêvant d'un meilleur avenir, le peuple haïtien, ces dernières années, a accordé foi à des bonimenteurs. Sans mettre la main à la pâte, le pays a livré son destin au Conseil présidentiel de transition et espère des miracles de la Force de répression des gangs. Il n'en sera rien si chaque Haïtien n'est pas éveillé et vigilant », écrit Frantz Duval qui revient aussi sur l'attaque en mer déjouée par les autorités haïtiennes.  Journal d'Outre-mer la 1ère   La Guadeloupe a rendu hommage aux 344 premiers travailleurs indiens débarqués le 24 décembre 1854 à bord du trois-mâts L'Aurélie.

The Amazon Basin is the most biodiverse region on Earth, being the home of one in five of all bird species, one in five of all fish species, and over 40,000 plant species.  In the podcast Carina Hoorn explains how the rise of the Andes and marine incursions drove an increase in biodiversity in the Early Miocene. This involved the arrival of fresh river-borne sediments from the eroding mountains and the diversification of aqueous environments caused by influxes of salt water during the marine incursions.Hoorn is an Associate Professor in the Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics at the University of Amsterdam and Research Associate at the Negaunee Integrative Research Center, Earth Science Section, Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago.

The man was busy harvesting onions when we prayerfully approached him during the home visits we were conducting on our mission trip in Ecuador. In broken Spanish, I told him my friends and I’d like to briefly speak to him about the Bible. He paused to listen as we shared our testimonies with him. One of my teammates took out his Bible and started reading Scripture aloud (in English). What a sacred moment it was to hear Scripture being read on the side of the Andes mountains and to see the man reading along in Spanish with the booklet we had given him! We talked with him and his family who’d been working off in the distance, prayed for them, and continued to the next house. As we walked along the mountainside reading Scripture and talking to people about Christ, I thought of Jesus and His disciples walking along the hills and valleys of Israel during His earthly ministry. Isaiah 52:7 says, “How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation.” The prophet was referring to the time when God’s people would return to their homeland after years in exile, but it still applies to us today whenever we share the Good News of Jesus with others. Our opportunities may not be in the spectacular Andes, but wherever God has placed us, the Holy Spirit can help us share the message of salvation with those He puts in our path.

https://vimeo.com/1147139373?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci You live in a world that most people do not realize is completely upside down and what we think is success is actually tearing us apart on the inside. We’re empty and we're seeking something meaningful, something sacred. And when we find that shamanic path, we enter a doorway into a completely altered reality where life shows up extremely differently, more beneficially with more guidance, with more support, with more mystical moments and revelations. With a connected web of life all around us. Today's guest, Angell Deer is a mystic medicine man and an author of the newest book, Becoming the Medicine. He shares so many beautiful shamanic tools and experiences to get you started on your path of opening up this right side up world for yourself. Join us to find out more! Angell Deer is trained as a veterinarian, medicine man, animist teacher, ordained minister, beekeeper, herbalist, reiki master, breathwork practitioner, and meditation teacher, international speaker, and sacred disruptor.  Angell has dedicated his life to remembering and transmitting ancient wisdom. He has over two decades of spiritual and ecological work as a steward of The Sanctuary, an intimate refuge located in The Catskills. He is the founder of the New York Bee Sanctuary. Angell Deer has served as an advisor to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).   Angell Deer is the founder of Sacred Paths, a Shamanic school with programs to honor the paths of The Earthwalker, The Firekeeper and The Stargazer.  He offers wisdom talks, mentoring and coaching, meditations, shamanic healing as well as several courses and events. Angell Deer is also the author of The Sacred Web: The Magical Craft of Your Sacred Shamanic Space and most recently, Becoming the Medicine. Watch or listen to the show to learn how to use shamanic tools and experiences to have more mystical moments and revelations in your life. You’re Invited! READ: Becoming the Medicine https://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Medicine-Sacred-Shamanic-Practice/dp/B0G25F2YQ5/ ANGELL DEER BIO Angell Deer is a devoted steward of rewilding projects across the U.S. and Europe. He walks the path of Andean Cosmology and Norse Shamanism, learning from elders, communing with the land, and listening for the old songs that still live in the trees, the bones, and the breath.  A weaver of stories, people, and worlds, he teaches from the fertile ground where grief meets grace, and where purpose is forged in the fire of personal and planetary transformation. His work calls us back to a more-than-human world, where healing is relational, and prayer is made with both hands in the soil.  He has spoken at Harvard Business School, the French Embassy in New York, and global gatherings such as the French Davos Forum and the Concert for Earth, where he was honored as an “Earth Rockstar.”  He now lives with his wife and children at La Ferme du Cerf Bleu, a renovated 18th-century farm in Burgundy, France, in devotion to land, community, and the mystery—tending to trees, bees, and ancestral ceremony.

It's not even Trump's, as what's in it for him? Greg Dworkin hauls in some polls from the awful place. That doesn't make them awful, of course, only suspect. Democrats are gigantically overperforming at this moment. That could change if the economy improves, and there is no way that is going to happen, and even MAGA knows it. Republicans unravel! Gops make or break moment on Obamacare has them going for broke. Trump staff posed for Vanity Fair cameras one inch from their noses and figured that this was just going to be a puff piece.

The Andean Condor is one of the largest flying birds in the world. With a wingspan that can stretch over 10 feet across, the condor doesn't flap so much as sail, using rising thermals to glide across the Andes for hours. Once revered in Inca mythology as a messenger of the gods, the Andean Condor now graces the coat of arms of Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, and Ecuador. But like many scavengers, condor populations are declining due to threats like lead poisoning and habitat loss.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

El cóndor andino (Vultur gryphus) es una de las aves voladoras más grandes del mundo. Con una envergadura que supera los tres metros, el cóndor no aletea tanto como navega el viento, aprovechando las corrientes térmicas para deslizarse durante horas sobre la cordillera de los Andes. Alguna vez venerado en la mitología inca como mensajero de los dioses, hoy el cóndor andino aparece en los escudos nacionales de Bolivia, Chile, Colombia y Ecuador. Pero, como muchas especies carroñeras, su población está disminuyendo debido a amenazas como el envenenamiento por plomo y la pérdida de hábitat.Listen to this episode in English here. Más información y transcripción en BirdNote.org.¿Quieres más BirdNote?

https://vimeo.com/1136707863?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci We've heard a lot about what doesn't work for us as women with the Me Too Movement and toxic masculinity and the recent Epstein Files, and we know what doesn't work for us as well. But do we know what does? And today's guest is gonna talk about relational masculinity as the next frontier beyond toxic masculinity. It's a beautiful conversation with GS Youngblood, and I welcome you to join us to find out more. GS Youngblood has been studying the dynamics of relationship and polarity for over 17 years. He has found that most relationship problems are a result of a lack of masculine leadership. GS Youngblood offers live training workshops to help men stop settling for a flat, contentious or toxic relationship. He offers a three month live online group experience for a community of 12 like-minded men with his Relationship Repair Boot Camp. He is also a two time book author of "The Masculine in Relationship” and “The Art of Embodiment for Men” A book about owning your strength while still connecting with your woman on a deep level. He has sold nearly 100,000 books to date and has helped tens of thousands of men transform their lives by boiling down a complex subject into a simple three-part framework that ANY man can embody: the Masculine Blueprint. Watch or listen to the show to discover ways to help men find their way to start living from their masculine core. You're Invited! FREE GIFT: MIR Toolkit https://www.gsyoungblood.com/toolkit   GS YOUNGBLOOD BIO GS Youngblood is the acclaimed author of the groundbreaking book “The Masculine in Relationship”, which challenges the modern notion that all Masculinity is toxic by offering a model - the Masculine Blueprint - for men to become grounded in their own power and more relational with their Feminine partner. The Blueprint is something any man can embody, and it fits in our modern #MeToo culture without being watered down in any way. The premise of his work is that many relationship problems are actually rooted in a lack of Relational Masculinity - which is a combination of groundedness, leadership, and relational skills. This is what he teaches to men. His two books have sold nearly a combined 90,000 copies, and he has become a highly sought-after men's coach. GS's work draws inspiration from various disciplines, including psychology, men's work, spirituality, martial arts, tango, meditation, and BDSM.

Hace más de un siglo, los argentinos comenzaron a explotar las minas de carbón de la región de Ischigualasto, una zona desértica del oeste del país, situada entre las estribaciones de los Andes y las Sierras Pampeanas, en la frontera entre las provincias de San Juan y La Rioja. A partir de una publicación del Automóvil Club Argentino en 1943 el lugar empezó a ser conocido con el nombre de Valle de la Luna, debido a las caprichosas formaciones geológicas que lo jalonan. Hoy en día, los yacimientos paleontológicos de la Cuenca de Ischigualasto-Villa Unión se extienden por dos espacios protegidos contiguos, el Parque Nacional Talampaya, en La Rioja, y el Parque Natural Provincial Ischigualasto en la provincia de San Juan. Ambos parques han sido declarados Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO por la importancia científica de sus yacimientos, en los que se puede estudiar el origen de los dinosaurios y de los mamíferos.

My Ayahuasca Experience – Part Two: Night One With Grandmother There's a moment before every first ceremony when fear tightens, identity resists, and truth begins to breathe. Night One starts long before the cup touches your lips, on the plane, in the tension between who you've been and who you're afraid to become. By the time the sun drops behind the Andes and your name is called in the maloca, you realize there is no turning back. In this episode, I take you into that moment… the doorway between the known and the unraveling. Grandmother met me instantly, no warm welcome, no gentle reunion. My confidence was my mistake, and she humbled me with a cosmic slap that dragged me into the gravity of the real work. What followed was a war in space that was really a war inside myself: fear of loss, fear of failure, fear of collapse, fear of not being able to protect the people I love. And just when the darkness felt overwhelming, support arrived in the form of white light, my wife's essence, reminding me that even in the deepest battles, I'm not alone. Then came the purge… the clearing… the release. And what unfolded next were two funerals.One for the fear that my daughter needed saving.One for the fear that money could crumble my life at any moment. Grandmother melted my illusions, literally, and showed me the quiet truth beneath survival:Humans are here to love. Everything else is noise. Night One left me humbled, emptied, and changed. I wasn't done healing… but something irreversible had shifted.
