In this personal interview, psychic medium Nicky Alan joins Emilio Ortiz to share world predictions, angelic messages, and vision for humanity's future. Nicky explains why she believes we have entered a collective “spiritual boot camp,” with the angelic realms urging humanity toward self-reflection, forgiveness, shadow work, self-love, and responsibility as consciousness rises. She speaks about intensifying Earth changes, including floods, eruptions, earthquakes, extreme weather, economic instability, property shifts, leadership upheaval, and global crises over the next two years. Nicky also discusses the exposure of hidden systems within governments, institutions, religion, entertainment, and organisations, while clarifying that the “end of days” means the ending of the old world, outdated systems, secrecy, division, and ways of living that no longer serve humanity.Nicky opens her heart about the death of her soulmate Darren, the grief and lack of closure she endured, and the synchronicities that helped her recognise the completion of a healing cycle. She shares how trusting divine timing, manifestation, intuition, and angelic support guided her toward her dream beach home, while describing angelic phenomena, including doors opening, electrical disturbances, signs, and clearer demonstrations from the spirit world. The conversation culminates in Nicky's vision of a future Earth inspired by an advanced civilisation, where humanity lives in harmony with nature, healing pods use light, sound, water, and crystal technology, illness can be addressed before birth, lifespans extend for thousands of years, animals communicate through shared sentience, souls explore previous incarnations, and spacecraft travel through consciousness.___________________PODCAST CHAPTERS0:00 — Nicky Alan Intro6:15 - The Angelic Message for Humanity Right Now10:53 - Why 2032 Will Be a Pivotal Year for Humanity16:55 - An Archangel Opens the Doors During Meditation21:42 - Earth Changes, Natural Disasters & Planetary Rebirth26:01 - The Spiritual Awakening Accelerating Across Humanity35:37 - Why Processing Trauma Can Unlock Psychic Gifts41:33 - Knowing When It Is Time to Finally Let Go51:57 - A Prophetic Book Written 12 Years Ago53:17 - Future Predictions: Global Systems, Disasters & Disclosure1:00:15 - Angels, Orbs & the Signs That People Are Awakening1:02:35 - The New Generation of Conscious Leaders1:10:05 - Ancient Healing Knowledge Is Returning1:20:11 - The “End of Days” Prophecy Explained1:29:47 - Proof That Humanity Is Already Changing1:32:08 - Predictions for the Turbulent Years Ahead1:33:21 - Colombia's Hidden Ancient Energy1:36:55 - Indigenous Wisdom and Reconnecting With the Land1:41:42 - The Angelic Vision of Humanity's New Earth1:44:22 - Future Medicine That Heals Before Birth1:47:52 - What Daily Life Could Look Like in the New Earth1:50:28 - Bridging Heavenly Technologies Into This Dimension1:51:44 - Final Message of Love, Authenticity & New Beginnings___________________Guest: Nicky Alan, Psychic Medium✦ Website | https://www.nickyalan.co.uk/✦ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/nickyalan333✦  Shop Books & Guided Meditations | https://www.nickyalan.co.uk/category/all-productsHost: Emilio Ortiz✦ IG | https://www.instagram.com/iamemilioortiz/✦ Subscribe to Channel | https://www.youtube.com/EmilioOrtizSpecial Offerings to Support the Show:✦ Make a One-Time or Recurring Donation on PayPal

For centuries, Filipino lifeways were presented to outsiders through the distorted lens of colonization—and the oppression, exploitation, and denigration suffered by Filipino ancestors are well-documented. In his work, psychologist and author Carl Lorenz Cervantes draws from Filipino folklore, language, and culture to reorient toward an Indigenous worldview: one that rejects being seen as a passive object in history. * In this episode Carl and CIIS faculty Niralli D'Costa explore Indigenous Filipino worldviews for embodied well-being. Drawing from his latest book, Sikodiwa, Carl shares how to uplift Indigenized Filipino ways of knowing and offers a timely and inspired path toward collective consciousness, cultural authenticity, and embodied well-being. * This episode was recorded during a live online event on April 2nd 2026.

Today I sat down with Navajo Nation medicine woman Granddaughter Crow to walk through her book Ho Shon, unpacking how each body carries its own intelligence: the physical body's instinct for survival, the emotional body's longing for connection, the mental body's reasoning, and the spiritual body's quiet knowing.The conversation moves into epigenetics and ancestral memory, the cost of a culture that collapses everything into the mental body alone, and why reclaiming ritual and play might be the fastest way back to the wisdom already living in our DNA.This is yet another step for us cycle breaking mothers, who are alchemizing shame and learning to trust the brilliant technology of our own bodies again, instead of everyone else's faces and expectations. Feel empowered to wake up your internal counsel, let your body tell the truth your mind cannot always reach, and remember that you are the answer to the prayers of your ancestors. LFG. You can connect further with Granddaughter Crow's work here and purchase her incredible book: https://granddaughtercrow.com/index.html

We often think of health as something that's built through food, movement, sunlight, sleep, and the choices we make each day. But what if one of the most influential forces shaping our terrain isn't something we consume, but rather the people we surround ourselves with?In this conversation, we sit down with author, explorer, and former Global Citizen executive Michael Trainer to explore the science and philosophy of resonance: the idea that our nervous systems, our biology, and even our sense of purpose are constantly being tuned by the relationships and environments we inhabit.Drawing from years spent studying with indigenous wisdom keepers, neuroscientists, spiritual leaders, and health researchers, Michael shares why loneliness has become one of the defining health challenges of our time, how our relationships influence everything from emotional resilience to physical health, and why finding your own "unique song" may be one of the most important acts of healing.Along the way, we discuss the biological effects of coherence, the power of community, the role of music in human connection, what ancient cultures can teach us about belonging, and why the strongest medicine doesn't come from a bottle, but from the quality of the people and places that shape us.If Terrain Theory is about creating the conditions for life to flourish, then this conversation asks a deeper question: Who—and what—are you allowing to tune the instrument that is you?Learn more about Michael and his work:https://michaeltrainer.net/Purchase Resonance: The Art and Science of Human Connection:https://resonance.biz/Support Terrain Theory on Patreon!

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop speaks with Ekaterina Matveeva, founder of Amolingua and Lingo Plus and co-organizer of AI roundtables with EcoCivilization. The conversation covers a wide range of AI-related topics, from the cultural implications of AI development across different countries to the evolution of Ekaterina's perspective on artificial intelligence—moving from initial anger and fear in 2023 to active participation in AI model design by 2025. They discuss the importance of including diverse cultural perspectives in AI training, the cross-country differences in AI regulation (comparing Argentina's human-out-of-the-loop approach to Europe's cautious stance), and the critical question of which sectors need humans in the decision-making loop. The discussion ventures into brain-computer interfaces and Neuralink, examining what happens when technology is removed and questioning whether healthy humans should pursue such enhancements, before touching on the future of personal AI models and the preservation of indigenous wisdom in AI training. You can connect with Ekaterina on LinkedIn to follow her work on AI, education, and cross-cultural technology development.Timestamps00:00 Stewart welcomes Ekaterina Matveeva, founder of Amolingua and Lingo Plus, discussing her work organizing AI roundtables with EcoCivilization05:00 Ekaterina shares her evolution from anger toward AI in 2023 to realizing collaboration potential, emphasizing importance of multicultural perspectives in AI development and training10:00 Discussion of Argentina's new AI liability bill creating human-out-of-loop systems, contrasting with Europe's human-in-loop requirements and different global regulatory approaches15:00 Safety considerations in robotics and AI development, comparing industrial automation standards across regions and discussing Pentagon's use of Anthropic with Palantir systems20:00 Exploring brain-computer interfaces and Neuralink developments, questioning enhancement versus necessity and examining motivations behind cognitive augmentation technologies25:00 Debating human capabilities beyond cognitive function, discussing nervous system, emotions, psychosomatics, and whether brain generates or receives thoughts30:00 Examining societal divisions from enhancement technologies, referencing Avatar and Years and Years series, questioning benefits for healthy individuals versus disability applications35:00 Discussing technological gaps between enhanced and standard populations, concerns about corporate seduction into cybernetic modifications, and lack of long-term safety studies40:00 Questioning who frames AI conversations and trains models, exploring dominant worldviews embedded in AI systems and Vatican-Anthropic collaboration implications45:00 Stewart shares mistakes with Facebook biometric data and building personal AI infrastructure, emphasizing importance of controlling your own models and data50:00 Analyzing whether massive data collection actually improves AI training, questioning if user conversations become buried garbage rather than meaningful model improvements55:00 Ekaterina discusses plans for organizing more roundtables, integrating indigenous wisdom into AI training, and connecting on LinkedIn for future collaborationsKey Insights1. Ekaterina Matveeva's perspective on AI has evolved significantly since 2023, moving from initial anger and fear about AI's impact on education and translation work to becoming actively involved in AI development and training. She realized that instead of resisting AI advancement, she could participate in shaping it by contributing her expertise in education, language, and cross-cultural communication. This shift represents a broader realization that diverse participation in AI development is crucial for creating more versatile and culturally sensitive models rather than allowing a monopoly of values from any single country or culture.2. The conversation highlights fundamental differences in AI regulation across regions, with Europe implementing human-in-the-loop requirements and comprehensive safety measures, while Argentina is reportedly creating frameworks for human-out-of-the-loop AI systems with limited liability. The United States falls somewhere between these approaches, pursuing rapid advancement with fewer regulatory constraints. These divergent approaches reflect different cultural values and priorities, raising important questions about whether AI development should prioritize efficiency and profit or human oversight and control in critical infrastructure sectors.3. Both speakers express concern about brain-computer interfaces like Neuralink, questioning the motivation behind enhancing cognitive abilities when humans already possess multiple forms of intelligence including emotional, cultural, and bodily intelligence. The primary applications demonstrated so far appear limited to video games and potentially military applications, raising questions about whether the technology serves genuine human needs or merely represents an attempt to compete with robots. The speakers emphasize that humans are already complete beings with sophisticated nervous systems, senses, and capabilities that extend far beyond cognitive processing.4. A critical insight emerges around the question of what happens when advanced technologies are removed or turned off. This applies both to brain-computer interfaces and to broader civilization infrastructure dependencies. The speaker shares experiences from 2020 of attempting to live independently in rural California, discovering the challenges of isolation and self-sufficiency. This relates directly to concerns about creating dependencies on technologies where the software ownership and control remain unclear, particularly when those technologies become integrated into human bodies or essential services.5. The discussion reveals concerns about increasing societal division based on access to enhancement technologies. Beyond existing financial inequalities, the speakers worry about a future where people who can afford biological and technological enhancements will advance rapidly while others are left behind. This isn't about disadvantaging certain groups but rather about creating an unbridgeable gap between enhanced early adopters and what they call standard populations who may be intelligent people maintaining traditional ways of life but lacking access to expensive enhancement technologies.6. Matveeva emphasizes the importance of including diverse cultural perspectives, particularly indigenous wisdom and Buddhist traditions, in AI training data. She argues that current AI models reflect the worldviews, values, and hierarchies of their predominantly Western designers, which influences the guidance these models provide to users worldwide. By incorporating wisdom traditions from various cultures, AI models could potentially become wiser and more culturally adaptive, serving diverse populations more effectively rather than imposing a single cultural framework globally.7. The speakers discuss the problematic nature of data collection and ownership in AI training, noting that massive amounts of user data may not actually be improving AI models as expected. There are indications that some AI companies are now specifically requesting users to help train models on their prompts, suggesting that simply collecting billions of conversations hasn't been as useful as anticipated. This raises questions about whether the data users have given away over the past several years has actually made significant impact or is simply buried in chunks of information that aren't effectively connected to meaningful improvements in AI performance.

Key Themes & Topics Covered Ancient Buildings as Acoustic Phenomena Ancient structures — especially the Bent Pyramid — appear to have been designed as sound and acoustic environments Chambers in the Great Pyramid, including the Queen's Chamber, have been filled with rubble over time, effectively silencing what may have been active acoustic spaces These chambers likely had resonant and vibrational qualities that are no longer accessible in their current state Luke's Personal Experience in the King's Chamber The King's Chamber contains a large granite sarcophagus (approximately 7 feet long) When a frequency of approximately 72 Hz is sounded and someone adds a tone of 270–273 Hz, a third pitch emerges — together creating something akin to white noise Luke lay inside the sarcophagus during this experiment and experienced dizziness and an altered state Afterward, he removed his shoes and socks and placed bare hands and feet on the stone while doing meditative breathing — a visual appeared: a doorway receding into the distance, which stopped when he stopped breathing, and transformed into a blue door before disappearing His interpretation: these chambers may have functioned as portals of consciousness or connection — not necessarily to the stars, but to altered states The Writing Mystery of the Great Pyramid Unlike virtually all other Egyptian structures from the 4th Dynasty of Pharaoh Khufu, the rooms inside the Great Pyramid contain no official writings or inscriptions Hieroglyphs and texts are abundant in tombs throughout Egypt — but not here Even the workers' tombs (which Luke had rare access to) contain no such writings in this context This remains one of the great unexplained anomalies of Egyptology Sound as a Universal Principle Cymatics: Sumerian artifacts appear to depict what we now recognize as cymatic frequency patterns — the visual geometry created when sound moves through sand or water Everything may ultimately be frequency — a view shared across many ancient traditions Royal Rife's theory: all living beings resonate at particular frequencies; health is a matter of maintaining the right frequency, and his device was designed to heal by targeting specific frequencies Harvard University is currently conducting research into treating cancer with sound Ancient Sound Hospitals Hakim Awyen has claimed that Saqqara contained a sound hospital: patients lay on a pedestal in the center of a room while a healer placed their head in a stone alcove, using acoustic resonance to promote healing Luke visited this site but is careful not to make definitive claims about its function Sound as a Physical Force — Moving Stone German explorers in Tibet documented monks moving large stone blocks through coordinated chanting and sound Modern science can now move small objects with sound The question Luke raises: could an ancient civilization have mastered acoustic levitation or manipulation of matter at a large scale? The Possibility of a Lost Advanced Civilization Evidence suggests humanity has emerged from "stone age" conditions multiple times Göbekli Tepe was deliberately buried thousands of years ago — by whom and why? South America contains ancient sites and structures that point to pre-known civilizations Beneath the Step Pyramid at Saqqara: 40,000 vessels made of corundum (a material so hard only corundum or diamond can cut it), polished to a high finish with tiny holes — attributed to pre-dynastic cultures because they predate known Egyptian dynasties Imhotep later created similar but far less refined vessels, suggesting knowledge was lost or degraded In 1500 BC, Assyrian explorers found a civilization they could not identify — we have a long history of not knowing our own history The Healing Power of Sound — Personal and Universal A Tibetan monk sustaining a single tone emotionally broke Luke open — one note, enormous effect The bagpipes at his father's funeral released deep emotion — both harmonic and dissonant, a profoundly powerful instrument Indian mantras — some of the most ancient known — are available to experience on YouTube and carry similar power Indigenous peoples of South America and Egypt remain strongly connected to ancient energies at these sites — Luke describes that connection as palpable and very powerful The Granite Boxes — Not Sarcophagi? Hakim Awyan believed that the quartz-granite boxes found in pyramid chambers were not sarcophagi at all, but were designed for people to lie in and absorb the healing frequency the chamber resonated. He noted that sound chambers like those in the Red Pyramid are designed exactly like modern acoustic therapy chambers used by sound therapists today. Luke's Documentary Luke is currently developing a documentary exploring all of these themes: ancient sound structures, healing frequencies, lost civilizations, and the living connection that indigenous peoples maintain to these ancient energies Key Names & Concepts to Explore Royal Rife — frequency-based healing theory Hakim Awyen — Egyptian researcher claiming Saqqara as a sound hospital Imhotep — ancient Egyptian architect and physician   www.earthtriberadio.comwww.barefootenlightenment.comwww.fionawhitmore.com

Why are some of the world's oldest healing practices suddenly exploding in modern wellness culture? In this episode, host Doug welcomes Dr. Tom Ingegno, a nationally recognized Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine with over two decades of clinical experience. As the founder of Charm City Integrative Health in Baltimore, Dr. Tom blends time-tested Eastern therapies with cutting-edge modalities like cryotherapy and red light therapy to reshape how we approach healing. Doug and Dr. Tom dive deep into the mechanics and history of cupping therapy, tracing its roots from grandmother's home remedies to a universal phenomenon shared across ancient Aztec, Incan, and Egyptian cultures. They explore how these traditional methods tap into a Jungian collective consciousness and how quantum physics is finally proving what Taoist masters illustrated 9,000 years ago. The conversation then shifts to the profound role of intuition and discernment in modern life. Dr. Tom shares how a dedicated, multi-decade meditation practice allowed him to cultivate clinical intuition—bypassing rigid textbook theory to read the subtle, energetic cues of his patients. Finally, the two pull back the curtain on the modern information landscape, offering sharp advice for men on how to develop the inner authority needed to spot fake AI content, manipulative health marketing, and the traps of the "shortcut" culture.

Dr. T and Truth Fairy welcome clinical psychologist Dr. Bianca Sebben, whose work bridges complex trauma, dissociative disorders, Indigenous psychology, psychedelic integration, and eco-soul-centric approaches to healing. Drawing from her experience working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, as well as her research into traditional medicines and cultural safety, Bianca explores what it means to reconnect with humanity's deeper relationship to the Earth. Together, they discuss ecological grief, soul, belonging, and the importance of understanding ourselves as part of a larger living system rather than isolated individuals.   The conversation examines the intersection of trauma, dissociation, and psychedelic healing through a developmental and relational lens. Bianca challenges the growing tendency to frame psychedelic medicine as a quick solution for depression, PTSD, or emotional suffering. Instead, she proposes that psychedelics often reveal what has been hidden, initiating a longer process of integration, meaning-making, and transformation. Dr. T, Truth Fairy, and Bianca explore concepts such as soul initiation, descent, grief, structural dissociation, and the risks of seeking transcendence before establishing sufficient grounding, embodiment, and relational safety.  Together, they also question dominant medical narratives around treatment-resistant depression, symptom reduction, and pathology. Bianca offers a perspective that reframes suffering as an adaptive response to relational and environmental conditions rather than simply a disorder to eliminate. The discussion highlights the importance of therapist self-awareness, resistance in the therapeutic relationship, Indigenous understandings of wellness, and the need to honour grief without pathologizing it. This episode offers a thoughtful and deeply philosophical exploration of trauma-informed psychedelic care, ecological belonging, and how healing may emerge through relationship, authenticity, and connection to both self and Earth.  "We've all come from an ancestry of people that have deep, deep connection to the earth, and those of us that are part of the community of colonization, we're just more disconnected from those origins of our earth-connected connected nature, our true nature."  - Dr. Bianca Sebben About Dr. Bianca Sebben: Dr Bianca Sebben is a Clinical Psychologist in private practice with experience working in both public and private sectors, including hospital inpatient settings. Bianca has a special interest in complex trauma, dissociative disorders and working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. In her clinical practice, Bianca provides harm reduction and integration support to clients who have worked with non-ordinary states of consciousness in community and trial settings. Bianca completed PhD in Indigenous Psychology in Mexico, where she looked at incorporating traditional medicines into the western medical system to make it more culturally safe and accessible. Bianca provides training to therapists in providing psychedelic integration, with a particular focus on working with adverse events. Bianca has a special interest in 5 MeO DMT harm reduction and is a lecturer for the FIVE- 5 MeO Information and Vital Education platform. Bianca is also co-founder and Director of Indigenous Psychedelic Assisted Therapies, an organisation which advocates for Indigenous wisdom and consultation in the psychedelic field.

In this powerful episode of The Sacred Travel Podcast, Julia welcomes back Nan Akasha for a deep conversation on Indigenous wisdom, sacred Earth medicine, ancestral remembrance, and the living intelligence of the land.The conversation weaves through the Rise of Ancestral Wisdom Traditions, Indigenous Lands around The Golden Triangle & Niagara, Earth Consciousness, Energetic Gridwork, Water & Fire Medicine, and the Phoenix Path of Transformation.

Living near more large Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations or CAFOs may raise cancer risk, according to a study from Yale researchers. With thousands of cows, pigs, or chickens packed in small spaces, CAFOs produce a lot of waste that pollutes air and water, which may explain the cancer association, though the study does not prove causation.    Also, North Atlantic Right whales were once so thoroughly hunted they nearly went extinct. When hunting these mammals was outlawed, they slowly started to bounce back, but today Right whales are dealing with newer deadly threats, such as fishing gear entanglement and warming in the Gulf of Maine. So, it's a relief to advocates to have a successful calving season like this year with 23 new calves, the most since 2009.    And in accounts of scientific expeditions into the remotest parts of our world, indigenous people can often be depicted as mere backdrop—part of a quote “exotic” landscape, or at best, helpful sidekicks. But for Dr. Rosa Espinoza, a Peruvian chemical biologist and conservationist, the traditional knowledge and worldviews of indigenous people could be the key to unlocking some of nature's greatest mysteries, if scientists are willing to listen—and collaborate. Her 2025 book is called The Spirit of the Rainforest: How Indigenous Wisdom and Scientific Curiosity Reconnects Us to the Natural World.  --  Find photos, transcripts, links to more information about these stories, and much more at the Living on Earth website, loe dot org!

In this episode, I'm talking about gifts: the ones you were born with (like them or not) and the ones you've cultivated over time. I share more of my own story here: growing up as a Christian with legit intuitive prowess, apprenticing spiritual teachers across many traditions, learning the real work of mediumship, and learning how to carry spiritual abilities in a practical, grounded way.  We talk about my gifts and yours. How intuition is both a gift and a skill, protecting your gifts, and why using what you've been given is both an honor and a responsibility. I also reflect on indigenous stewardship, bridging more universal spiritual ideas with Christian faith and language, and what it means to contribute in uncertain times. Your gift may not look mystical. It may be patience, the best sloppy joe's this side of Detroit or public speaking, crocheting, listening or leadership.  Whatever it is, it's not accidental. And it's not meant to sit unused. This episode can help. 3 Takeaways for you: If a strength has been consistent in your life, it's not a coincidence.It's yours to use, share and offer up.  Stop treating it like it's optional.Intuition can be strengthened.You trust yourself by listening, acting, and setting boundaries not by waiting to feel certain.Your gifts create impact when you use them. Keeping them small keeps your influence small. Using them changes things.

In this enlightening conversation, host Shayla Oulette Stonechild and renowned author Robin Wall Kimmerer explore the profound connections between Indigenous wisdom, language, and the natural world. You Robin shares her journey understanding the strength of the earth through plants and the importance of intergenerational knowledge. They discuss the responsibility we have towards the land, the healing power of nature, and the significance of curiosity in fostering relationships with the environment. The conversation also touches on the challenges of urban living, the importance of rituals for resilience, and the concept of two-eyed seeing, which integrates Indigenous and Western knowledge systems. Robin emphasizes the need for a grassroots movement to support the environment and advocates for the idea of 'land back' as a means of healing and restoration. More About Robin and Her Work: Robin Wall Kimmerer is a mother, scientist, decorated professor, and enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation.

Welcome to Beneath the Transaction. This episode marks a new beginning—not just for the podcast, but for how we want to show up in these conversations moving forward. We start by naming something we've both been feeling for a while: how quickly life moves, and how easy it is to slip into a way of living and leading that's driven by efficiency, outcomes, and transactions rather than relationship and meaning. From personal moments of reflection to experiences that reshaped how we understand community and leadership, we share why this work feels urgent—and why transformation can't wait until “someday.” We talk about indigenous wisdom that has deeply influenced our thinking, including the idea that transformation is shared, breathed in together, and sustained through community. This is where the language of Tribe comes from—not as a buzzword, but as a reminder that none of us are meant to do this work alone. We also introduce the Seven Conditions of Transformation, which guide much of our work and will continue to shape future episodes: Purpose Commitment Common Language Vulnerability Consistency Deep, Trusting Relationships Safe Space These aren't steps to complete. They're conditions we return to again and again—at home, in leadership, and in community. Throughout the episode, we reflect on the small moments that often get overlooked, but quietly shape who we're becoming. The conversations we avoid. The relationships we rush past. The opportunities we have—right now—to choose intentionality instead of autopilot. This podcast will feature conversations with leaders from organizations, communities, families, and faith spaces—but it will always come back to the same question: What's being formed beneath the transaction? In this episode, we explore: Why this podcast needed a re-beginning How transactional living slowly disconnects us from what matters Why transformation is a journey, not a destination The role of community in sustaining change How the Seven Conditions show up in everyday life Why urgency doesn't mean panic—but presence What it means to build a Tribe rooted in belonging This episode ends with an invitation—not to have it all figured out, but to begin paying attention. To stop wasting minutes that matter. To practice living beneath the transaction together. If something in this conversation resonated with you, we hope you'll stay with us. Share it with someone in your Tribe. And join us as we continue this journey—one honest conversation at a time.

[Interview] Returning to Connection in Chaotic Times: Indigenous Wisdom on Healing, Addiction, & Inner Freedom with James GoodinIn a world that feels increasingly intense—filled with fear, stress, and uncertainty—this episode of The Activate Change Podcast is an invitation back to connection, spiritual grounding, and inner freedom.Chloe Faith Urban sits down with Arrowhawk (James Goodin), a Cherokee elder, healer, and beloved mentor, for a candid conversation on prayer, ceremony, and Indigenous wisdom—and what it means to live in alignment with the sacred trinity of mind, body, and spirit. Arrowhawk shares how disconnection from the Earth, the divine, and each other can fuel isolation and chaos, and how ceremony as medicine can be woven into daily life—sometimes as simply as blessing your coffee with intention.You'll also hear powerful teachings on the sweat lodge ceremony as a path of healing and transformation, particularly for those navigating addiction recovery, burnout, grief, trauma, or a loss of meaning. Recorded in late fall, this conversation feels especially timely: a reminder that worthiness isn't earned, and that freedom is an inner choice, even when the outer world feels dominated by fear and control.Note: There's a brief audio shift mid-episode due to a recording interruption. We kept it in to preserve the integrity, wisdom, and healing medicine of the conversation.In This Episode We Explore:The sacred trinity of mind–body–spirit and why “everything comes in threes”How disconnection fuels isolation, anxiety, and social chaosDaily rituals and ceremony as tools for grounding, energy clearing, and resilienceThe sweat lodge as a ceremony for healing, transformation, and reconnecting to the selfHealing the healers: why helpers, therapists, and practitioners need support and renewalJoy, humor, and laughter as medicine in hard timesTeachings on freedom, domination, and choice from an Indigenous perspectiveFeather medicine and how different feathers support energetic healingWhy “unworthiness” is an illusion—and how to reclaim inherent worthAddiction and ceremony: finding your way back to yourself—“the answer is in the mirror.”Resources & LinksFor More About Arrowhawk and The Red Road to Wellness Center:https://www.facebook.com/groups/478758235503796/------------------------Our Free Gift:

Dr. Anita Sanchez joins us on air to explore how Indigenous wisdom and modern leadership can work together. A Nahua (Aztec) and Toltec elder, author of The Four Sacred Gifts, she brings powerful insights on unity, purpose, and meaningful change.

Ep. 211 (Part 1 of 2) | Zaya and Maurizio Benazzo are not only the founders of the longstanding and highly regarded Science & Nonduality Conference (SAND), but also brilliant filmmakers, producing stunning documentaries about the injustice and suffering occurring in Palestine and elsewhere, as well as films that feature the eternal wisdom of elders from Indigenous communities around the world. Zaya and Maurizio are clearly passionate about their work, and co-host Roger Walsh points out they do a beautiful job of intertwining the personal, professional, and spiritual into an offering that meets the needs of our time. As Maurizio says, “There is no spiritual work. Period. Everything is spiritual work! It's life.”In Part 1 of this episode, lively and inspired, Zaya and Maurizio share what they've learned about life, spirituality, trauma, healing, guidance, and the deep-time perspective of the Maori. They relate the trajectory of SAND's evolution from featuring male-dominated nondual teachings to include an understanding of trauma, somatic healing, feminine, earth-oriented teachings, and Indigenous wisdom. “Healing never ends; it's a lifelong journey—there's no modern solution that will ‘fix' you,” Zaya tells us. Also, “We are constantly being guided if we just listen.”In Part 2, Zaya and Maurizio describe the making of their 2021 documentary about the tragic mistreatment of Palestinians in the West Bank, a beautiful, heartbreaking film called Where Olive Trees Weep. Also their film The Eternal Song, an ongoing project to bring forth Indigenous teachings, so valuable and timely for us now in our chaotic, disconnected world. This whole conversation is thought provoking, delightful, profound, paradigm shifting, and inspiring all at once.

For centuries, modern science has relied on the scientific method to better understand the world around us. While helpful in many contexts, the scientific method is also objective, controlled, and reductionist – often breaking down complex systems into smaller parts for analysis and isolating subjects to test hypotheses. In contrast, indigenous wisdom is deeply contextual, rooted in lived experience, and emphasizes a reciprocal, integrated relationship with the rest of the natural world, viewing all parts of the system as interconnected. What becomes possible when we combine the strengths of each of these knowledge systems as we navigate humanity's biggest challenges?  In this episode, Nate is joined by Rosa Vásquez Espinoza, a Peruvian chemical biologist with Andean-Amazonian indigenous roots, to discuss how she is actively merging modern science and indigenous knowledge through innovative research in the Amazon Rainforest. Rosa explains how the integration of these two ways of knowing unveil more effective paths forward for conservation and ecological wisdom that simultaneously offer economic opportunity for the people who live there. She also shares her biggest successes to date bringing this vision to life, including documenting and protecting Earth's oldest known bee, the stingless bee.  Were the indigenous people of ancient cultures the original scientists? How can modern science learn from indigenous knowledge – and vice versa? And, rather than siloing ourselves into one 'right' way of seeing the world, what types of insights become possible when we learn to embrace the validity and importance of multiple ways of learning and knowing?  (Conversation recorded on October 22nd, 2025)   About Rosa Vásquez Espinoza: Dr. Rosa Vásquez Espinoza is a Peruvian chemical biologist, National Geographic Explorer, and award-winning artist whose work bridges indigenous knowledge and modern science to protect the Amazon Rainforest and its communities. With Andean-Amazonian indigenous roots, she is the founder of Amazon Research Internacional, where she has pioneered groundbreaking research on extreme Amazonian ecosystems and biodiversity, while advocating for policies that recognize the intrinsic value of nature.  Rosa was the first microbial explorer of the Amazonian Boiling River, led the first chemical analysis of stingless bees and their medicinal honey in Peru, and contributed to scientific advancements that supported Peru's Law 32235, granting legal protection to stingless bees for the first time. Her work as an International Ambassador for the Ashaninka people further highlights her commitment to conservation and indigenous advocacy. She also co-authored the first scientific paper with Ashaninka leaders, blending traditional wisdom with modern science to safeguard the rainforest. Rosa's passion for exploration and conservation is reflected in her new book, The Spirit of the Rainforest: How Indigenous Wisdom and Scientific Curiosity Reconnects Us to the Natural World, which is available now.    Show Notes and More Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?
