Last night brought back some memories.
In this episode of The Observatory Podcast, hosts Scott and LaRae Wright sit down with Bobby Ahlander for an expansive and deeply human conversation about suffering, healing, and what it means to truly come home to yourself. Bobby shares his journey growing up in a rigid religious environment marked by instability and fear, living much of his adult life on “autopilot,” and eventually reaching a breaking point that included leaving the Church, divorce, job loss, and a prolonged season of depression with suicidal ideation.Through therapy, psychiatry, EMDR, Buddhist study, and eventually plant medicine, Bobby describes the slow and nonlinear rebuilding of his inner world. He introduces a personal “numbers” framework that helped him track emotional states — from survival, to “fine,” to happiness, joy, bliss, and ultimately a state he later names cosmic union. At the heart of this conversation is the embodied realization that arrived not through force or fixing, but through surrender: peace feels good.Timestamps [01:10] Introducing Bobby Ahlander and the theme “peace feels good”[04:05] Childhood in a conservative religious home marked by instability[08:45] Learning invisibility, safety, and survival as a child[14:55] Living adulthood on “autopilot” and inherited identity scripts[20:15] Becoming a bishop and the weight of enforcing institutional rules[25:35] LGBTQ+ policy conflict and values colliding with authority[31:50] Leaving the Church, divorce, and relocation all at once[36:40] Wiping the slate clean and questioning every belief[41:05] First acts of autonomy and reclaiming personal choice[46:00] Discovering Buddhism and non-dual thinking[51:40] First psilocybin experience and expanded awareness[58:45] COVID, job loss, unhealthy relationship, and emotional collapse[01:05:40] Suicidal ideation and surviving for his children[01:12:30] Therapy, medication, and the “numbers” emotional scale[01:20:10] Ayahuasca: opening a door that never closes[01:27:30] Integration, healing, and learning to live at “fine”[01:33:40] Oregon coast turning point and happiness returning[01:38:10] Discovering joy, bliss, and something beyond the scale[01:41:00] Embodied peace, “peace feels good,” and what comes next[01:41:58] Closing message and listener invitationNotable Quotes“You have just opened a door that can never close again.” — Scott Webb (quoted by Bobby Ahlander) [00:36:08]“I don't want to die, but I don't want to be alive.” — Bobby Ahlander [00:31:58]“The whole choice to awake puts you on a path.” — Scott Wright [01:13:33]“So we honor you for being there and being able to express that.” — LaRae Wright [01:29:42]“The cost of the new is the old.” — Scott Wright [01:32:36]“Turbulence is just a reminder you're flying.” — Bobby Ahlander [01:34:42]“You will continue to suffer until you've learned the lesson that the suffering is trying to teach you.” — Bobby Ahlander [01:38:18]“This is peace.” — Bobby Ahlander [01:23:57]“Peace feels good.” — Bobby Ahlander [01:25:01]Relevant LinksBobby's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bobbyahlander/Subscribe to the podcast: Apple Podcasts

Don't forget to subscribe for free to our newsletter, the top 10 ideas of the week, every Monday --------- John Mackey is the co-founder of Whole Foods Market, where he also served as the company's CEO for 44 years (1980–2022). More recently, Mackey is the co-founder of Love.Life, a wellness company focused on a holistic approach to health. He is an entrepreneur, author and advocate for conscious capitalism who spent over four decades building the natural foods industry. Under his leadership, Whole Foods grew from a single store in Austin, Texas, in 1980 to the world's largest natural and organic foods retailer, with over 500 stores across North America and the United Kingdom before its acquisition by Amazon in 2017 for $13.7 billion. After dropping out of the University of Texas at Austin, Mackey opened SaferWay Natural Foods in 1978 with Renee Lawson Hardy. He merged SaferWay with Clarksville Natural Grocery in 1980 to create Whole Foods Market.

My guest today did some significant healing at a psilocybin ceremony at a retreat center in Mexico. She takes us there and explains why she was able to heal in that environment in ways she hadn't before. You'll also hear how and why she does psychedelic work as a therapist. Dr. Cheryl Tien, PsyD, is a licensed clinical psychologist who helps individuals navigate grief, identity, and life transitions with a culturally attuned, trauma-informed approach. She specializes in psychedelic integration—supporting clients in making meaning of experiences with medicines like MDMA and psilocybin in a grounded, evidence-based way. Her work centers on safety, ethics, and translating profound experiences into sustainable change in everyday life. Here's some of what we talked about: Deciding to get licensed, and the pros and cons of that as a psychedelic facilitator Advocating for psychedelic medicine accessibility Grieving the loss of a former client to suicide Getting racially assaulted Having fears, visuals and nightmares as a result of stressful events Hitting the limits of talk therapy in her own healing Choosing to attend a psilocybin ceremony retreat in Mexico Why the medicine is 10% of the experience Her internal experience during the ceremony Doing a sweat lodge the following day How she decides when to do a psychedelic journey and what medicine she needs Being "spiritually hopeful" Her advice to people new to psychedelics healing generational trauma Show notes at https://rebeltherapist.me/podcast/254
Step into day 2 of the new year, the moment when New Year motivation can fade and real life returns. In this guided meditation and ceremony, you'll choose a powerful Word of the Year and turn it into a practical, heart-centered plan you can actually live. You'll learn the psychology of fresh starts (why New Year's creates a real "reset" in the brain), how values-aligned intentions lead to deeper well-being, and why tiny "if–then" plans can make your new theme stick. You'll be guided through calming slow breathing, a candlelit "Bless the Word" ritual, and a comforting story that reframes success as devotion—not pressure. If you're craving a peaceful, grounded way to begin the year, this is your gentle next step: nurture your nervous system, nurture your values, and nurture the life you're growing—one small act at a time.

In this episode of The Observatory, Scott and LaRae share what they are consciously choosing to let go of this year and what they are welcoming in as new anchors for joy, creativity, and connection.

You'll need more time than an hour for this episode to fully sink into the experience. You will also need a pen and a journal, as well as anything else to create a beautiful space -- Ashley will guide you through everything. Enjoy! Journaling Prompts What did these years ask of me that I didn't know I had? Where was I stretched, humbled, softened, or broken open? What identities did I outgrow — even if I clung to them for safety? What am I finally ready to release from this cycle of my life? What truths surfaced that I can no longer ignore? Where did I abandon myself — and where did I return? What blessings arrived disguised as disruptions? What have I learned about who I am when everything falls away? What am I proud of, even if it felt messy or incomplete? What am I grateful for that I didn't see clearly until now? What part of me is ready to rise again? What is opening that I can finally allow myself to receive? What feels like light on the horizon in my life? What would it feel like to stop dimming myself? What am I committed to honouring within myself this year? What am I officially declaring complete? What am I leaving behind with love, gratitude, and release? What am I stepping into with open hands and an open heart?

Send us a textAs we stand at the threshold between 2025 and 2026, host Andrea Atherton offers this solo episode as an invitation to slow down and meet the New Year as a sacred cycle rather than a rushed reset. Instead of resolutions driven by pressure or self-improvement, Andrea explores the spiritual meaning of endings and beginnings—honoring what is complete, releasing what no longer serves, and recognizing this moment as a powerful pause for reflection and renewal. This episode centers cyclical time, conscious closure, and beginning again with intention.In this solo reflection, Andrea gently guides listeners through the deeper layers of New Year ritual—why practices of release speak directly to the subconscious, how intentional reflection supports nervous system regulation, and how simple sacred tools such as journaling, candlelight, prayer, and embodied presence can create meaningful inner shifts. The conversation weaves together spirituality, emotional integration, and practical ritual, offering listeners accessible ways to clear emotional weight and open space for clarity, peace, and alignment.This episode also serves as a ceremonial closing—honoring 2025 with gratitude and ushering in a new consciousness for 2026 rooted in presence, compassion, and self-trust. If you are longing to start fresh without urgency, or to move into the year ahead with greater awareness and support, this solo episode with Andrea Atherton invites you to listen not only with your mind, but with your body and heart. This is an offering for anyone ready to begin again with grace, intention, and conscious awareness.Request A Sacred New Year Companion Journal:https://www.andreaatherton.com/contact 30-minute Consultation with Andrea https://www.andreaatherton.com/booking-calendarAndrea Atherton Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/Love Anarchy Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/podcasthttps://loveanarchypodcast.buzzsprout.comLove Anarchy Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/loveanarchypodcast/Andrea Atherton Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/andreaatherton-17/
In this episode of a special series of the podcastWalk Talk Listen, Maurice Bloem is joined by Lewis Cardinal, an Indigenous leader, teacher, and bridge-builder whose work centers on relationship—to land, to spirit, and to one another. This conversation is part of Crossing Thresholds: Religion, Resilience & Climate Migration, a special series that brings research on climate, faith, and human mobility into dialogue with lived wisdom from communities on the frontlines. While rooted in evidence, the series remains true to the spirit of Walk Talk Listen: creating space for connection and for leaders who are working—often quietly and patiently—to make the world more just, more sustainable, step by step. Lewis reflects on how climate change is experienced not only as environmental disruption, but as a disturbance of balance that is deeply cultural and spiritual. He speaks about the disappearance of lakes, shifting patterns of water, and what it means for Indigenous communities when land that carries memory, ceremony, and identity is under threat. Throughout the conversation, Lewis returns to the role of ceremony—not as something symbolic or abstract, but as a practical and spiritual response to imbalance. Ceremony, he explains, helps communities remember who they are, how they belong to the land, and how relationships can be restored even in times of great disruption. At the heart of Lewis's reflections is a worldview grounded in relationship: resilience not as infrastructure or technology, but as connection—built over generations, rooted in responsibility, kinship, and care. His insights echo a core finding of the Climate, Faith & Migration research: that communities are already responding with deep wisdom, long before global systems take notice. This episode invites listeners to slow down, listen carefully, and reconsider what resilience really means in a changing climate. For the full report of this research check this link.

With a military pipe band and trumpet fanfares, Caz Graham joins pensioners at the Royal Hospital Chelsea for their Ceremony of the Christmas Cheeses, a festive tradition where dairy processors and farmers present cheese for the Hospital's Christmas celebrations. It dates back to the late 1600s when Sir Christopher Wren was commissioned by King Charles II to build a sanctuary for soldiers "broken by age and war". He asked the dairies of London to give cheese every Christmas to the veterans who became known as the Chelsea Pensioners.Caz meets the Hospital's Governor to hear about the origins of this ancient ceremony, farmers whose milk goes into some of the cheeses, and some of the pensioners taking part, including Andy Kay, the Chelsea pensioner who cuts the first slice of a huge 25kg Montgomery cheddar with a ceremonial sword.There's also the latest news on the government's proposals for inheritance tax on farm businesses.Produced and presented by Caz Graham.

Top Stories for December 18th Publish Date: December 18th PRE-ROLL: SUGAR HILL ICE SKATING From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, December 18th and Happy birthday to Keith Richards I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Arizona developer building 300-plus apartments in Peachtree Corners' Technology Park First buildings underway at Sugarloaf Crest in Lawrenceville GGC celebrates future nurses during pinning ceremony Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on saturated fats All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: GCPS Hiring-Villa Rica Wonderland Train STORY 1: Arizona developer building 300-plus apartments in Peachtree Corners' Technology Park Technology Park Atlanta, a hub for Fortune 500 companies and tech innovators, is about to get a residential twist. Soon, it won’t just be a place to work—it’ll be home for hundreds. Alliance Residential Company, the Arizona-based developer behind Broadstone Peachtree Corners, has snagged 10.7 acres in the park to build Broadstone Innovation, a 326-unit apartment community set to open in spring 2027. Think sleek, modern living: a salt sauna, red-light therapy pods, a resort-style pool, EV chargers, and even a food truck zone. STORY 2: First buildings underway at Sugarloaf Crest in Lawrenceville Parkland Residential has kicked off vertical construction at Sugarloaf Crest, a new build-to-rent community in Gwinnett County. What’s that mean? Townhomes—67 of them—are going up on 5.2 acres, complete with a big central green space. Located on Sugarloaf Parkway, right next to Richards Middle and Cedar Hill Elementary, these two- and three-bedroom homes are designed for modern living: open layouts, sleek kitchens, walk-in closets, and even washers and dryers included. The three-bedroom units? They’ve got lofts and nearly 2,000 square feet of space. STORY 3: GGC celebrates future nurses during pinning ceremony In a room buzzing with pride and emotion, 39 nursing students at Georgia Gwinnett College celebrated their pinning ceremony—a moment that marks the leap from student to nurse. “Y’all, it’s been two years!” joked Merick Sanogo, the class speaker, earning laughs and cheers. His classmates surprised him with a pineapple, a nod to his quirky tradition of gifting one on every birthday. The ceremony, steeped in tradition, included the lighting of the Nightingale Lamp and the Nurse Pledge. For Prudence Donald, an international student from Tanzania, it was a dream realized. “If you can dream it, you can achieve it,” she said.

We’ll be right back Break 2: 07.14.22 KIA MOG- DTL HOLIDAY STORY 4: Freight rail line from coast to northwest Georgia reports record traffic Georgia’s freight rail line from the Port of Savannah to Murray County just hit a record: nearly 4,000 containers moved in November, a 35% jump from last year. Seven CSX trains a week now roll through the Appalachian Regional Port near Chatsworth, cutting truck traffic—and emissions—in metro Atlanta. Opened in 2018, the inland port is fueling growth in northwest Georgia. A UGA study found it added 5,600 jobs in Dalton, Rome, and beyond over two years. And there’s more to come: the $127 million Blue Ridge Connector, opening next spring, promises to expand rail capacity even further. STORY 5: GGC's Devontre Chaney, Brasen James Earn Continental Athletic Conference Awards Georgia Gwinnett College juniors Devontre Chaney and Brasen James just snagged Continental Athletic Conference Player of the Week honors after leading the Grizzlies to a big road win. Chaney? He was unstoppable—15 points, 15 boards, and eight assists. Oh, and he went 9-for-10 at the line. That’s his seventh double-double this season. The guy’s averaging 15.9 points and 10.2 rebounds. James locked it down defensively, holding his matchup to just six points (16 below average) while adding 14 of his own. FALCONS: As the Falcons limp toward the end of a rough 2025 season, the big question looms: will Raheem Morris and Terry Fontenot keep their jobs? Atlanta’s 5-9 record doesn’t inspire much confidence, even after Thursday’s wild 29-28 comeback win over Tampa Bay. Sure, it was fun—rallying from 14 down in the fourth quarter—but in the grand scheme? It’s meaningless. The playoffs are out of reach, even in the laughable NFC South. Despite a 13-18 record, failed coaching hires, and some head-scratching moves (what was that with Ike Hilliard?), Morris has the locker room behind him. Bijan Robinson, for one, is all in. Owner Arthur Blank will have a tough call to make. Morris says it’s about building for next year, but will he get the chance? Three games remain—Arizona, the Rams, and the Saints. If the Falcons finish strong, maybe Morris gets another shot. And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on saturated fats We’ll have closing comments after this Break 3: Ingles Markets 10 Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

In this episode of The Observatory, it's a special day, it's LaRae's birthday, and she joins the Heart + Head Work show hosted by Tessa Arneson and Rocky Donati to discuss the shift from chasing goals to living with a grounded sense of self in the present moment. Together, they explore how redefining success beyond constant striving can open up far more possibilities than rigid goal-setting ever could, especially when you learn to receive instead of always hunt. LaRae shares her journey out of corporate life, the moment she moved from overthinking to inner knowing, and how she built a business guided by intuition rather than hustle.

Like always, Dan has two awesome tales this week! We are headed to Sweden! The first story is about Borgvattnet Vicarage. For nearly a century, this remote, rural house has terrified priests, guests, and paranormal investigators with apparitions, phantom voices, and a grieving woman known only as the Gray Lady. Then we go deep in the forests of Värmland. Frammegården is an 18th-century parsonage so haunted that priests, investigators, and overnight guests have all fled in terror. From crawling shadow figures to violent attacks and the infamous “Black Hallway,” this house's spirits seem less interested in communicating… and more interested in hunting. Lynze has a theme to her stories as well this week: strange women raising havoc in two different homes! Do you want to get all of our episodes a WEEK early, ad free?

Ceremony: The Emperor as Collective Focal Point and Sacred Kingship — Gaius & Germanicus — In the "freezing darkness of Londinium," Gaius and Germanicus reflect philosophically on the spectacle of the new American"Emperor" (Donald Trump) attending the Army-Navy football game, with Gaius describing the theatrical pageantry of Trump's entrance flanked by enormous military officers and the overwhelming orchestrated cheers from assembled military cadets. Gaius argues that for a transcendent moment, the United States embodied the full confidence, unified purpose, and absolute power characteristic of the Roman Empire at its zenith. Germanicus analyzes this ceremonial moment through historical lens, positing that the Emperor functions as a "collective focal point" for national identity and institutional legitimacy, embodying "sacred kingship" roles that unify the entire nation in ways that republican governance structures fundamentally cannot achieve. Germanicus compares this modern ceremonial spectacle to Roman imperial tradition wherein the Emperor's physical presence at the Coliseum or the Hippodrome served vital ritualistic functions transcending mere entertainment, instead melding the Emperor, the Senate, and the populace into a singular apotheosis of unified national identity and sacred authority. Germanicus suggests that this ceremonial gathering simultaneously demonstrated American military strength while affirming the psychological necessity of embodied leadership and collective ritual in maintaining national cohesion and ideological purpose.
The Inauguration and the New England Tour — Nathaniel Philbrick — Philbrick recounts Washington'sinauguration ceremony, noting his emotional collapse immediately following the ritual, which revealed him not as an impassive "marble man" but as a human profoundly terrified of the political road ahead. Philbrick draws historical parallels between this psychological moment and a near-fatal fall experienced by artist N.C. Wyeth. Washingtonsubsequently undertook a systematic tour of New England to unify the fractured nation, deliberately balancing his role as a man of the people—staying in public taverns among ordinary citizens—with the constitutional dignity of his new office. Philbrick highlights oral traditions documenting Washington gently reminding awestruck observers that he was merely "only a man" despite his historical prominence. 1840
