Healing That Ends in Beauty: Plant Medicine & Conscious Integration with Dr. Richard Grossman, LAc, OMD – Episode 452 Ayahuasca doesn't hand you a cure; it unlocks the healer already inside you. The visions may fade, but the capacity for pure, unconditional love remains. In this episode, host Peter Fenger sits down with Dr. Richard Grossman, a licensed acupuncturist, Doctor of Oriental Medicine, and author of “Trust and Forgive: The Medicine of Your Life”. Dr. Grossman's lifelong dedication to the healing arts began in the wake of profound early trauma, sparking a fascination with the interconnected power of plants and the human mind. After training in Los Angeles and studying in Beijing under a World Health Organization program, he spent decades weaving together Oriental medicine, functional medicine, and deep spiritual practice. His extensive work with Ayahuasca and sound healing, shaped by years of study alongside indigenous shamans in Ecuador and Peru, has evolved into a unique synthesis of Amazonian shamanism, energy medicine, and multisensory ceremony. Today, Dr. Grossman guides individuals toward profound emotional, physical, and spiritual transformation, always rooted in a singular, core intention: helping others step out of suffering by discovering the source of joy within. Join us as we explore his journey from early trauma to a lifetime of healing, diving deep into the therapeutic dimensions of plant medicine, the role of sacred music, the integration of ceremonial insights, and how personal transformation ultimately contributes to collective healing.

Ian de la Rosa debuta en el largometraje con Iván & Hadoum, una historia de amor ambientada en los invernaderos de Níjar (Almería) que llega a los cines tras conquistar el Teddy Award del Festival de Berlín y dos Biznagas de Plata en el Festival de Málaga. La película sigue la relación entre Iván, un joven trans, y Hadoum, una chica de origen marroquí, y aborda cuestiones como la identidad, el amor y la búsqueda de un futuro en un entorno marcado por la precariedad laboral y las diferencias culturales.La actualidad cultural pasa también por F. Javier Cárdenas García, ganador del XVIII Premio de Poesía Joven RNE-Fundación Montemadrid por Latitud cero, un poemario que ha destacado por su madurez poética y su capacidad para evocar Ecuador a través de imágenes sugerentes. Además, el Centro KBR de Barcelona dedica una gran retrospectiva a Minor White, una de las figuras fundamentales de la fotografía del siglo XX, con imágenes que se muestran por primera vez en Europa y que recorren algunos de los temas centrales de su obra, como el paisaje, el retrato y el desnudo masculino.El programa se acerca también a la historia del teatro y del cine español con la adaptación de La escopeta nacional, la célebre comedia de Luis García Berlanga y Rafael Azcona, dirigida por Juan Echanove en el Teatro Español de Madrid. Nuestra colaboradora Xaviera Torres recuerda el descubrimiento de los infrarrojos por parte del astrónomo William Herschel, mientras que Enrique Mejías nos lleva hasta el Festival de Bayreuth, el certamen creado por Richard Wagner que celebra este verano su 150 aniversario y sigue siendo una de las grandes citas de la música clásica internacional.Escuchar audio

The Greatest MAGA Military Recruiting Ad Ever. Iran and US Say They Have a Deal. Hegseth: Ecuador and Guatemala Are Next. Fox Gobbles Up Roku. USA Soccer Wins Big! Even Though Trump Called Them. Sports is our mirror. On Saturday night, that mirror reflected the best of America — a 53-years-in-the-making Knicks championship built on a diverse, humble, durable team led by Jalen Brunson, a man who shook every hand on the losing side because integrity is doing the right thing even when nobody's watching. On Sunday night, the mirror reflected something uglier: a UFC card on the White House lawn, locked behind a Paramount Plus paywall, with no women on the card, fight bonuses paid in Trump-family crypto, and sponsors ranging from Elon's Starlink to Turning Point USA. The White House, Paul argues, was openly for sale — and most fight fans loved it. In this solo Monday briefing, Paul connects the dots between a triumphant Knicks parade week, a wildly effective piece of military-recruiting propaganda dressed up as an octagon, a U.S. World Cup team that just dropped three on its opener, a fragile Iran ceasefire with none of the original objectives met, Hegseth telegraphing Ecuador and Guatemala as next on the “Donroe” Doctrine hit list, and Fox swallowing Roku for $22 billion. He closes where the show always closes — with Brooklyn bikers carrying Narcan, an Angry Middle that isn't homeless but free, and a reminder that eternal vigilance is the price of freedom. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Visit Kalshi and trade on anything.

David and James give an overview of all 10 games played Friday to Sunday at the World Cup with discussion also features Fantasy assets for Matchday 2. Germany had a fright against Curacao but eventually got seven, they have surely done enough to qualify, and it will feel the same too for a very impressive USA and Sweden who also won comfortably. There was a shock for Switzerland conceding late to Qatar, but a historic victory for Scotland who beat Haiti. And interest for Fantasy includes two teams who didn't win this weekend in Brazil, who were held by Morocco; and Ecuador who lost it late in a very enjoyable encounter against Ivory Coast.

Día 4 de la fase de grupos del Mundial FIFA 2026: Ecuador perdió en su debut ante Costa de Marfil por 1 a 0; mientras que Alemania goleó a Curazao por 7 a 1; y sigue la alegría por el gran triunfo australiano ante Turquía.
An Ordinary Brazil: Morocco proved they are a genuinely good side, but Brazil looked decidedly ordinary. I take a moment to reflect on the legendary Brazilian teams of years gone by and ask where the magic has gone. Scottish Pride: Well done to Scotland on getting the job done! I loved the brilliant rendition of Flower of Scotland, which really shines a light on our rather dreary English anthem, God Save the King. Credit to Haiti as well—they looked very tidy in places and I think they're arguably quite unlucky to be stuck in such a tough group. Aussie Joy: A huge 2-0 result for the Aussies against Turkey, with the added element of Greek-Aussie joy making it an even sweeter victory down under. Water Break Controversy: Did the mandated water break ruin the flow of the Germany vs Curaçao game? Curaçao had just equalised and were aggressively pressing a genuinely rattled German side, only for Germany to recoup and reassert themselves after the pause. It begs the question: are FIFA fundamentally changing the landscape and rhythm of how the game is played? Underwhelming Oranje: Despite the late drama in the 2-2 draw, it was a fairly underwhelming game between the Netherlands and Japan. Japan were overly defensive for large spells, whilst the Dutch struggled to find that killer pass and ultimately switched off at the back. Plus, I look at Micky van de Ven, who really doesn't look well-suited to operating at left-back. Côte d'Ivoire Grind It Out: A massive three points on the board for Côte d'Ivoire against Ecuador. Picking up hard-fought wins against fairly evenly matched sides is exactly the name of the game in tournament football. Super Swedes: Sweden absolutely smash Tunisia to get their campaign underway. When I look through the Swedish squad, there is an abundance of quality. They might not be looked at as a classic favourite, but they are absolutely a team who could cause serious problems for anyone in this competition. Learn more about your ad choices.

André und Schlüti waren außerdem bei der Partie Niederlande - Japan im Stadion und berichten wie es vor Ort gewesen ist und warum die Amerikaner plötzlich zu echten Geschäftsleuten werden.

Patrick and Ted are back for their first World Cup episode, working through the opening round of fixtures and the early transfer window stories. On the games: Brazil vs Morocco raised serious questions about Ancelotti's side, and Patrick had a few rants pending. The USA looked more convincing than anyone expected against Paraguay. Turkey managed 30 shots and 1.40 xG against Australia, which will surprise nobody who has watched Turkey at a major tournament before. Ivory Coast edged Ecuador in a game that was more fun than it had any right to be. On transfers: Ayyoub Bouaddi ran circles around Brazil at 18 years old and PSG, Arsenal and Liverpool are all circling. Ted and Patrick dig into what his numbers actually look like and whether the £60-70M fee makes sense for any of them. Christos Tzolis is reportedly heading to Arsenal and could be a straight swap for Martinelli.

Sieben Tore, sechs verschiedene Torschützen und ein Auftakt nach Maß: Die deutsche Nationalmannschaft ist mit einem souveränen Sieg gegen Curacao in die WM gestartet. Erstmals seit 2014 gewann das DFB-Team wieder sein erstes Spiel bei einer Weltmeisterschaft. Gegen den Außenseiter aus der Karibik geriet die Mannschaft von Julian Nagelsmann nur kurz ins Wanken, setzte sich am Ende aber klar durch.Auch im anderen Spiel der deutschen Gruppe war einiges los: Die Elfenbeinküste siegte nach einer intensiven Partie dank eines späten Treffers gegen Ecuador und verschaffte sich damit eine gute Ausgangsposition.Im Duell der beiden Favoriten in der WM-Gruppe F haben die Niederlande kurz vor Schluss gegen Japan den Sieg aus der Hand gegeben. Von dem Unentschieden profitiert auch Schweden: Nach dem deutlichen Erfolg gegen Tunesien übernehmen die Skandinavier die Tabellenführung in Gruppe F.Für Gesprächsstoff sorgt in der kommenden Nacht nicht nur das sportliche Geschehen auf dem Platz.

Tunisia suffered one of the heaviest defeats of the opening round, losing 5-1 to Sweden in Monterrey, in a damaging start to their World Cup campaign. Yasin Ayari was the story of the night. The Brighton midfielder, born in Sweden to a Tunisian father and Moroccan mother, scored twice. He chose Sweden after Tunisia had tried to convince him to switch allegiance. Ayari did not celebrate his first goal, but celebrated the second. Sweden were emphatic and Tunisia, who did not concede a single goal in qualification, now face a must-win match against Japan. The Samurai Blue themselves took a point from the Netherlands, in what many are calling the best game of the tournament so far. The teams drew 2-2 in Dallas after Daichi Kamada equalised in the 89th minute. Germany made the biggest statement of the opening round, beating Curacao 7-1, while Ivory Coast's Amad Diallo scored in the 90th minute to see off Ecuador. Off the pitch, Iran's arrival in Los Angeles has dominated the conversation. Eleven members of the Iranian party, including the team manager, were denied entry to the US, on the same day President Trump announced a peace deal with Iran and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Captain Mehdi Taremi said the tension had undermined Fifa's message of football bringing people together. For the Arab world, tonight is when the tournament truly begins. Egypt face Belgium at 11pm UAE time, with Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush offering genuine threat on the counter. Saudi Arabia face Uruguay at 2am, with local media evoking the spirit of that famous win over Argentina in Qatar. Meanwhile Qatar have already earned a point, drawing 1-1 with Switzerland, and Morocco were arguably the better side in their 1-1 draw with Brazil, with 18-year-old Ayyoub Bouaddi impressing in midfield. Spain also begin their campaign tonight against debutants Cape Verde at 8pm UAE time.

Die deutsche Nationalmannschaft ist in Houston angekommen – und der WM-Auftakt gegen Curacao rückt immer näher. Wir sprechen mit unserem Reporter Martin Roschitz über die letzten Stunden des DFB-Teams vor dem ersten Gruppenspiel, die Stimmung in Houston und die wichtigsten Themen rund um die Mannschaft. Außerdem hören wir in die Abschluss-Pressekonferenz von Bundestrainer Julian Nagelsmann rein, der unter anderem Einblicke in seine Startelf gibt.Während Deutschland noch auf den Turnierstart wartet, hat die WM bereits ihre erste große Überraschung erlebt: Katar ringt dem favorisierten Schweizer Team dank eines Treffers in letzter Minute einen Punkt ab. Für das bislang wohl beste Spiel der WM sorgen Brasilien und Marokko. In einer intensiven Partie schenken sich beide Mannschaften nichts und liefern sich einen offenen Schlagabtausch, der am Ende mit einem leistungsgerechten Unentschieden endet. Im zweiten Spiel der Gruppe C setzt sich Schottland gegen Haiti durch und sichert sich die ersten wichtigen Punkte.Nach dem Auftakt für das deutsche Team geht es heute Nacht dann auch für die Gruppengegner los: Die Elfenbeinküste und Ecuador könnten sich dabei vor allem durch ihre guten Defensiven gegenseitig neutralisieren.

Several Brazilian women have come forward describing how a modeling recruiter connected to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly attempted to recruit them while they were teenagers pursuing careers in the fashion industry. According to accounts gathered by journalists, French modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel, a longtime associate of Epstein, approached young women in Brazil and other parts of South America with offers of modeling opportunities abroad. One Brazilian woman said Brunel visited her family home when she was 16 to persuade her mother to allow her to travel for a modeling contest in Ecuador. At the time, the family believed the opportunity was legitimate, unaware of Brunel's connections to Epstein. Investigators later found evidence that modeling agencies tied to Brunel were used to identify and recruit young women from South America and help arrange visas for them to travel to the United States.The accounts form part of a broader picture of how Epstein's network allegedly used the international modeling industry as a recruitment channel. Several women said they were approached with promises of fashion work, travel, or contests that could launch their careers, only later realizing they had been targeted by people linked to Epstein's circle. Brunel, who worked closely with Epstein and received financial backing from him for the agency MC2 Model Management, was later arrested in France on accusations including rape of a minor and trafficking-related offenses. He denied wrongdoing but died in a Paris prison in 2022 before standing trial, leaving many of the allegations about his role in recruiting young women for Epstein unresolved in court.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Donald Trump continues to boast that he will bring about the fall of Cuba, and Marco Rubio continues to assert that Cuba poses a national security threat. On today's show, host Esty Dinur is in conversation with Marc Becker about the latest signs of US aggression toward Cuba. Becker says that Trump is “turning the screws” on Cuba via more blockades on petroleum and more sanctions on select members of the Cuban government. This leads pundits to say that a US military attack on Cuba is inevitable, but Becker says the conclusion is not inevitable. On the ground, the US blockades are causing diesel fuel shortages leading to lack of sanitation services. There's also mass hunger and energy shortages and the infant mortality rate is rising. This is all adding up to a crisis point. They also discuss tourism apartheid, humanitarian flotillas, and China's increasing influence in Cuba. Becker says that the crisis raises a fundamental question: how much of the revolutionary aspirations do Cubans give up for the revolution to survive? And if you've given up everything that the revolution promised, do you give up on it? Marc Becker is professor of history at Truman State University. He studies the Latin American left with a particular interest in race, class, and gender within popular movements in the South American Andes. Among other works, he is the author of Contemporary Latin American Revolutions (Rowman and Littlefield, 2022); The CIA in Ecuador (Duke University Press, 2020); The FBI in Latin America: The Ecuador Files (Duke University Press, 2017); and Indians and Leftists in the Making of Ecuador’s Modern Indigenous Movements (Duke University Press, 2008. He has served on the executive committees and has been web editor of the Peace History Society (PHS) and Historians for Peace and Democracy (H-Pad). Becker is currently working on a project on Philip Agee and the CIA in Ecuador in the early 1960s. Featured image of a map of the 1962 US blockade of Cuba via Wikimedia Commons.

Behind the walls of H.H. Holmes' "World's Fair Hotel" waited trap doors, gas chambers, and a basement of acid vats — and more than a century after the Murder Castle burned, something still lingers at 63rd and Wallace.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/HHHolmesHotelREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/57djvd7fFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: It's one of the most infamous and macabre subjects of Chicago history – it even served as inspiration for TV's “American Horror Story: Hotel”. It's what has become known as “The Murder Castle” where serial killer H.H. Holmes committed his monstrous crimes. But even today, Holmes continues to terrify… in spectral form. (H.H. Holmes' Hellish Hotel And Lingering Haunting) *** A woman tries to save the soul of her daughter, believing her to be possessed… but her solution to drive out the demon was to murder her daughter using a holy crucifix. (Murder By Crucifix) *** What's worse than proclaiming yourself to be a supernatural being and starting your own cult? How about telling your followers you are God so you could do drugs and have sex with teenage girls? It's the disturbing true story of the cult called “The Group”. (Theodore Rinaldo – The Drug Cult Rapist) *** Shrunken heads – believe it or not, they are real. And some tribal peoples create them even today – from real human heads. But why do it at all? We'll look at the reality behind shrunken heads, the reason they are created… and even how they are created. (The History and How of Shrunken Heads) *** A terrifying series of paranormal activities invade a family's home in Wales. (The Swansea Entity) *** Tenome is a Japanese Urban Legend about a blind man who was robbed and murdered. His dying wish? To have eyes on his hands so he could see. (The Seeing Hands of Tenome) *** Unsolved mysteries are intriguing simply because they are unsolved. That's why we are so fascinated by stories of people disappearing without a trace. But one man's disappearance is so bizarre, so weird, that upon hearing the story you'll be scratching your head wondering what the heck you just heard.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: November, 2021This episode of Weird Darkness moves from the haunted ground of H.H. Holmes' Chicago Murder Castle to a flesh-eating Japanese yokai, a millionaire's impossible vanishing at sea, an Oklahoma exorcism that ended in murder, a violent Welsh poltergeist, the real-world practice of shrinking human heads, and the Washington State drug cult led by a man who claimed to be God.It opens in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, where Herman W. Mudgett — better known as H.H. Holmes, America's first serial killer and the inspiration for the Hotel Cortez in American Horror Story: Hotel — built his three-story "World's Fair Hotel" at 63rd and Wallace to prey on visitors to the 1893 Columbian Exposition. The building held sixty rooms riddled with trap doors, hidden staircases, gas chambers, and a basement furnished with a dissecting table and vats of acid and lime. Holmes confessed to 27 murders before his hanging in Philadelphia on May 7, 1896, though some historians put his victim count at 200 or more, and the strange deaths that followed his execution — a poisoned forensics expert, a suicidal prison superintendent, a priest beaten to death in his own churchyard — fed talk of a Holmes curse for decades. The site was never excavated, and employees at the Englewood post office built beside the old Castle property still report stacking chairs, a singing woman no one can find, and apparitions on the grass where the hotel once stood. Even Holmes' own descendant, Jeff Mudgett, author of Bloodstains and the figure behind the History Channel's American Ripper, walked out of that basement a changed man.From there the episode crosses to Japan and the legend of Tenome, a blind old man robbed and beaten to death in a field who returned as a vengeful yokai with eyes on the palms of his hands. First recorded in the Gazu Hyakki Yagyō, the creature hunts graveyards and open fields by scent, feeds on fresh human bones, and inspired the Pale Man of Pan's Labyrinth. The segment ends with the Kyoto tale of a young man who hid from the Tenome inside a locked temple chest — and was found afterward as an empty sack of skin, his bones sucked out through his flesh.Next comes the 1931 disappearance of Hisashi Fujimura, the Japanese-born silk millionaire who vanished from the Red Star liner Belgenland somewhere between Halifax and New York on the night of August 13. Fujimura had told a friend he feared gamblers would follow him aboard, his mistress Mary Reissner was registered under a false name as a governess, and his bank account had dropped from over $333,000 to $2.65 in five months. The ship's captain saw him talking to an unseen person at 2:45 a.m.; by morning his bed was unslept-in and his seven-year-old daughter was alone in the stateroom. Federal investigators closed the case without answers, a dust-free wallet bearing his name later surfaced in an empty Manhattan flat, and Fujimura was declared legally dead in 1938 — leaving murder, suicide, accident, and a staged escape all equally possible.The darkness turns domestic with the 2016 killing of 33-year-old Geneva Gomez in Oklahoma City, beaten to death by her own mother, Juanita Gomez, who claimed she was performing an exorcism to drive Satan from her daughter. Juanita punched Geneva repeatedly, forced a crucifix and religious medallion down her throat, then arranged the body in the shape of a cross with a wooden crucifix on her chest. A forensic psychologist concluded she was feigning incompetence, the insanity plea collapsed, and in January 2018 a jury needed only 20 minutes to convict her of first-degree murder and recommend life without parole.The episode then travels to Rhondda Street in Swansea, Wales, where in 1965 Marcia and David Howells, their two small children, and Marcia's grandmother endured a poltergeist that began with choking sensations in the night and escalated to bottles flying off mantelpieces, rooms ransacked in minutes, the gas stove turning itself on, and a double bed found hurled on top of the baby's empty cot behind a barred door. Police, reporters, and a priest all came to the little house; the only room ever left untouched was the grandmother's. The family finally moved out, the activity stopped, and no tragedy in the home's history was ever found to explain it — leaving psychokinesis, spirit attachment, and Marcia's own verdict, a demon, on the table.From haunted houses the show turns to a practice that is grimly real: the shrunken heads, or tsantsas, of the Jivaro people of northern Peru and southern Ecuador.
