What happens when a man encounters a massive Sasquatch throwing rocks at his campsite in the eerie forests of Oregon's Detroit Lake region? In this chilling episode, we sit down with Jared, a local who's had multiple Bigfoot encounters since 2005. From witnessing an eight-foot Sasquatch crouched by his tent to hearing terrifying howls near Garnet Lake, Jared shares his jaw-dropping stories of close encounters with the elusive creature. With glowing red eyes, massive footprints, and strange rock formations, his experiences in areas like South Breitenbush Gorge and Gold Butte Lookout are enough to make any skeptic rethink the existence of Bigfoot. But is it just Bigfoot—or something darker? Jared's encounters leave him with more questions than answers, and in this episode, we explore the mystery of Oregon's Bigfoot Highway and the creatures lurking in the forests.

In this episode, Zach and outdoors intern Abby cover a wide variety of outdoor news including: -The reopening of Waldo Lake and the Breitenbush Highway, and what it allows access to, including Hawk Mountain -The sad news of Salem Summit Company planning to close -Same-day camping reservations at Oregon's state parks -Perhaps the oldest site of human occupation in North America -The verdict of the 2020 Labor Day Fires class action trial -How not to get stuck on Proposal Rock -Grey whale numbers are down, Oregon wolf acts oddly and the discovery of sunflower sea stars on the Coast

There could be less pain and suffering for gifted people if they only knew how to make their hearts and minds work together.  Former clinician, professor, and founder of WholeHEART Awakening, Jared Dupree, teaches that all healing roots from the HEART and encompasses the physical, emotional, mental, relational, and spiritual aspects of ourselves. Join me in this episode of Someone Gets Me ▶️ Awaken the Heart of the Gifted with Jared Dupree.  Key point covered in this episode:  ✔️ It took 15 years of traditional practice as a counselor before Jared achieved a breakthrough that shifted his spirit. After gathering new learnings from ancient arts and various methods around the world, he unraveled a wealth of ways to heal holistically.  ✔️ Gifted people tend to play small. They live life trying to accommodate  everyone around them. They don't want to ruffle feathers. They don't want to be branded as "too out there." If you share these beliefs for yourself — know that there will always be those who will get triggered just because of who you are. And that's okay. You can't play small or pretend to become who you are not. Share your gifts because that's the part you must play to make this world better. ✔️ There's a reason people say 'Go with your gut' or 'follow your heart' for thousands of years. We call it a hunch, instinctual reaction, or gut feeling — many terms describe the ability to navigate life without just relying on the "knowing" of the mind.  Science and spirituality experts refer to this as the ability to understand things and figure out solutions without depending only on intellect. When one achieves awakening, a big part is letting go of giving so much power to reasoning and strengthening trust in your gut. ✔️ Body awareness will become your best compass. The mind can lie, but the body doesn't. Learn how to sink into your body and pay attention to yourself. You can trust that what you're feeling are signs to help you take the right path. Many esoteric resources share how certain pressure in different parts, whether in the heart, knee, stomach, throat, or head actually holds significant meanings that direct you on the path of healing and happiness. ✔️ Stay in alignment and integrity from your heart space and allow the universe to maneuver around you. You can't put off your happiness until you get to the day when the perfect habits, skills, relationships, income, and ideal life arrives. Recognize you're good where you are NOW and trust your heart will take you to the right places at the right time. Jared Dupree PhD, MBA  Jared began his work as a traditional counselor earning a PhD in Couples & Sex Therapy specializing in intimacy, connection, and trust. After 15 years of practice as a clinician and working as a professor, he felt a shift occurring that led to his own spiritual awakening. Since then, he has gathered tools and methods throughout the world to understand how to heal and awaken layer upon layer. He finds himself attracted to various arts and approaches including Reiki, Yoga, Shamanic healing, Chakra work, Energy work, Medium work, journeying, Tantra, sacred music, breath work, Human Design, Gene Keys, and integrative dance. He feels drawn to helping the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine energies weave at an individual and planetary level; he feels connected to the works of the Magdalenes, Isis, Druids and various tribal groups throughout the world. He currently resides in the mountains outside of Asheville, NC; he also spends time in the Sacred Valley, Peru; Costa Rica; Mexico; Scotland; Breitenbush, Oregon; and Ubud, Bali offering healing and awakening retreats.  Connect with Jared:  Website: www.wholeheartawakening.com FB: www.facebook.com/WholeHeartBlueRidgeMt www.facebook.com/groups/wholeheartawakening IG: www.instagram.com/wholeheartawakening ———————————————————————————————— How to Connect with Dianne A.

Join us for this lighthearted tale and some wild speculation. We also have our first uncanny valley dating tale! This dating tale takes place at Breitenbush Hot Springs, where the water is warm and clothing is optional. Fun fact, at age eleven I saw a naked man doing yoga in the sauna at Breitenbush and it was... let's say... educational. Thanks to my god mom, Tillie, featured in happy hour seven, for that piece of education. Oh, and I get REAL about dating in this episode.Rachel's Boo Club: Ghost Adventures Description from IMDB: “Are you ready for the lockdown? Ghost Adventures crew -- Zak Bagans, Aaron Goodwin, Billy Tolley, and Jay Wasley -- is back to investigate the scariest, most notorious, haunted places in the world.

Listen in as herbalist Dana Aronson talks all about the beautiful motherwort! Motherwort’s latin name, Leonurus cardiaca, is depicted from the Greek word leon (lion), ouros (tail), and cardiaca, giving meaning to the heart. This sheds light to the common name, Lion’s Heart. In Europe, the name “motherwort,” has a literal meaning of “mother-herb.” With both of these names, this gives a small peek into the medical properties of this plant we know as Motherwort.

In today’s episode we’ll hear from herbalist Erika Galentin as she gives us a rundown on the classes she’ll be teaching at the upcoming Breitenbush Herbal Conference. More from Erika: Website Facebook Instagram Aromatic Distillation: A Ritual Journey of Self-Reflection (Intensive) Aromatic distillation is alchemical in nature; it is a process that relies on the four elements of earth, air, fire, & water in the transmutation and capture of aromatic molecules from plants into hydrosols and essential oils.  The Alchemists of old believed their work to be spiritual in nature. Modern alchemical scholars have interpreted this work metaphorically; Alchemy can be considered a collection of psychic processes shared within the totality of human experiences, or what Carl Jung termed the 'collective unconscious'. In this interpretation, the 'lead into gold' of the Alchemists becomes an inspirational allegory of the work required for the refinement of Self and emanation of the Soul. The process of Aromatic Distillation is most certainly a spiritual one, involving both ceremony and celebration. It is an attempt to foster a deeper relationship with the plant kingdom, a relationship full of metaphor, story, and personal myth, while simultaneously developing deeper relationships with ourselves and our unconscious. In this regard, each distillation provides a platform for self-discovery and exploration of the natural world.  In this intensive workshop you will learn about the anatomy and physiology of aromatic distillation and participate in the process as a ritual journey of self-reflection. Participants are encouraged to bring with them stones, crystals, or personal symbols / items to contribute to the process and support each participant’s unique inner journey. Participants are also encouraged to bring a journal for self-reflection while the distillation is taking place. (Depending on #: Participants will be able to take a sample of the hydrosol home). Shame, Inflammation, and our Herbal Allies: Unlocking the Inner Pillory Join Clinical Herbalist, Erika Galentin,  of Sovereignty Herbs on an exploration of the physiology of shame, what is known about its proinflammatory influence over physical wellbeing, and herbs and aromatics that may support navigating shame and its often treacherous terrain. Topics to be covered include: - Framing the emotions and experiences of shame within the context of one's perceptions of physical health & wellbeing. - Exploring what is known about the physiology of shame and its proinflammatory influence over the   human body. - A discussion on the relationship between inflammation & common health problems. ​​​​​​​- Herbs and aromatics that may support the physical body, psyche, and spiritual needs of those who are navigating shame and its often treacherous terrain. Demystifying Herb-Drug Interactions Many people get very frightened when they think about herbs and drugs interacting with each other. Some even may feel defensive about the idea that pharmaceutical medicine so easily puts herbs in the hot seat. In this class you will be introduced to the means by which herbs and drugs may interact with each other, for better or for worse. We will also be learning skills for easier interpretation of the scientific research investigating these interactions in order to discern their clinical relevance. What you will learn: - Introduction to pharmacological terms - Pharmacokinetic & pharmacodynamic mechanisms - Which herbs & drugs present the highest risk - Other client-centered risk factors - How to avoid herb-drug interactions ​​​​​​​- Skills to evaluate herb-drug interaction research - How to discern clinical relevance Thanks for listening!

Looking for a relaxing weekend away from it all? Longing for a simpler time? An off grid vacation experience? Breitenbush doesn’t exactly advertise their tiny house accommodations but Perry was impressed enough with them when he went there to relax and recharge, that we invited the General Manager, Peter, on our show. So, what’s it like to maintain a tiny house village that may well be the oldest in the country? Do they face the same coding and zoning challenges that new tiny house communities face? How do they keep up with the tens of thousands of annual visitors and still maintain a quiet and communal experience for all? And, does everyone really get naked in the hot springs? (Did Perry?) Tune in this week and you might just be inspired enough to ditch the bathing suit and dive in to this unique tiny house vacation experience for yourself.

In which we learn that next time you're in the tubs at Breitenbush you might just be chillin' with Bigfoot.
