Visionary artist Delphine Diallo joins me in Sacred Conversation. We cover the cosmos in this one. AI as both a colonizing and liberating instrument. History as a mirror. Ancestral remembrance. Embodied spirituality. Bruce Lee. And so much more. May this soul medicine nourish you. You may find Delphine's work on Instagram at @delphinediallo.....Sacred Conversations are periodic episodes of my podcast in which I reach out to people whose work and life inspire me, and we simply have a soulful conversation. Prerecorded for video and available on my YouTube channel. No scripted, transactional, extractive, one-sided interview dynamic. Just two people with a care and curiosity for each other's journey and creative work, asking each other about what stirs in us, and enjoying the ancient, mutually healing art of listening deeply. Again, not an interview. A spiritual communion. The idea is for us to relax and enjoy an organic conversation, like over tea or breaking bread, and to get to know each other along the way. ....All of my books are available at booksellers worldwide.

Sacred Conversation with J.S. Park, hospital chaplain and author of the astoundingly profound and beautifully poetic book, As Long As You Need: Permission to Grieve. For many months, I have been excited to have and to share this conversation with you. J.S. feels, lives, speaks, and writes in a mystic poetry that moves me deeply and calls me back home to our sacredness within. In our conversation here, we celebrate our kindred childhood soul architecture; revel in what it means to find refuge in closets, under beds, and in the back seats of cars; draw a compassionate portrait of what it means to attend a dying; wander over the territories of Love, grief, and the spiritual First Space (aka third space, liminal space) of stillness and witness; and taste the fruit of the paths available to us for Joy's harvest. You may find J.S.'s work on Instagram at @jspark3000..Sacred Conversations are periodic episodes of my podcast in which I reach out to people whose work and life inspire me, and we simply have an old fashioned phone conversation. No video. No scripted, transactional, extractive, one-sided interview dynamic. Just two people with a care and curiosity for each other's journey, asking each other soulful questions, and enjoying the ancient, mutually healing art of listening deeply. Again, not an interview. A spiritual communion. The idea is for us to relax and enjoy an organic conversation, like over tea or breaking bread, and get to know each other along the way. .

What is the true cost of our numbness, and how can we alchemize it into deep, loving intimacy?     This conversation with Dr. Jaiya John is a balm, for tender times, tender hearts - a remembrance of how to touch tenderly, inwardly and outwardly. Dr. Jaiya John, born as an orphan on the sacred lands of the Ancient Puebloans in New Mexico's high desert, walks the world as a freedom worker, poet, author, teacher, and speaker, revered across continents. In this tender episode, Amisha and Dr. Jaiya weave a story of human connection—layered with vulnerability, healing, and the soft light of hope. Together, they lean into our collective longing for liberation from oppression, the raw courage needed to meet grief and emotional pain, and a soul-deep inquiry into how technology shapes intimacy in a world that often feels so far apart. We hope this episode invites you into deeper layers of tenderness and presence.   Links from this episode and more at allthatweare.org

My conversation with Palestinian filmmaker, director, writer, and teacher Rolla Selbak was an exchange of sweet and saltwater tides. I cried. Then she cried. Then I cried. And she cried. It was oceanic in its soulfulness, honesty, clarity, and Love offering for humanity. I had been yearning for this conversation since we met at the Los Angeles reading of the Gaza Monologues in January of this year (2024). I can't wait for you to listen to, feel, and be sown by this kinship river. Bless you.Rolla Selbak is an award-winning filmmaker and Sundance alumna, with multiple works optioned for development at 20th Century Fox and Sony Pictures Entertainment. She imprints her fresh point of view as a Palestinian American with deep, maternal roots in Jerusalem.Her recent screenplay, CHOKE, was a 2022 Winner of The Black List, and was based on her award-winning short film of the same name, both telling the story of a Syrian refugee who dreams of becoming an MMA champion.Other notable works include co-producing the Sundance 2017 short film AMERICAN PARADISE, which was later adapted into the Sundance-winning film LAST BLACK MAN IN SAN FRANCISCO, and helming the internationally acclaimed feature film “Three Veils”, a first of its kind to confront homosexuality within the Muslim-American subculture.She is currently embarking on her second feature film: THE VISITOR. Known as the Palestinian “Get Out”, the film is a psychological horror about a young Palestinian man who discovers that living life under an occupation can be just as sinister as the shapeshifting monsters in his grandmother's folktales.Selbak is the founder of the SAFINA FILMMAKER PROJECT, an initiative to raise the voices of Palestinian filmmakers through free artistic mentorship.ROLLASELBAK.COM@ROLLASELBAK (IG)Sacred Conversations are periodic episodes of my podcast in which I reach out to people whose work and life inspire me, and we simply have an old fashioned phone conversation.

*LIVE RECORDING. I wrote and delivered this poem, The Beautiful Ones Have Changed to Light, in honor of the martyred poets and writers of Gaza and Falesteen as part of the first ever Los Angeles reading of The Gaza Monologues, on January 19, 2024. Our gathering was organized by the precious Sonali Fiske @sonalifiske (IG) with the blessing of Ashtar Theatre @ashtartheatre (IG) in Ramallah and in response to their global artistic solidarity call. We gathered to pay our respects, bear witness, send collective Love and prayer, and recite the heart-piercing monologues written by young souls in Gaza.To birth this prayer-poem posted here, I soul-studied each of the named martyrs (among so many unnamed here) and, for each of them, wrote passages specifically in their honor. My prayer is that these personalized passages intuitively reflect aspects of their singular lives, work, passions, personalities, prayers, and dreams, including phrases here that are inspired by and evocative of their own written work.On Jan. 28, I posted on IG an unofficial phone recording of me reciting this poem. You may find it on my page. The official video of our overall monologue reading will be shared by Sonali and others in the days to come.For a written copy of this poem, please email jaiya@soulwater.org.Please feel free to share and post this poem with proper crediting far and wide, especially within the diaspora Fal*steeni and Levantine communities.

As we navigate through a world that is plagued with atrocities and heavily warped by what we see on social media, staying in love has become more and more of a difficult task.  Throughout our sermon, we dive into the intricacies of love, including the concept of fierce love and why love isn't always polite, considerate, or comfortable. We also explore the multifaceted nature of love, the significance of embodying love in your actions, behaviors, and choices, as well as how to view the world through the eyes of love.  In episode 451 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss: (4:24) Understanding the seasons and cycles of love  (5:29) An excerpt from Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Beyond Vietnam"  (10:23) The universality of "Love like Love loves" by Jaiya John (14:01) Reflections on the difference between love portrayed on social media and our messy real-life relationships (16:16) Why love speaks truth and doesn't seek comfort  (19:10) How to embody love and use it see through distractions (23:13) Highlighting The Lover and The Beloved Rumi Oracle card as a representation of weaving love  (29:03) A prayer for infusing more love into our hearts  Resources mentioned in the episode: Wild Soul Sunday Service  Join the Reweave Interest list Beyond Vietnam by Martin Luther King Jr. Love like Love loves Instagram post by Jaiya John Rumi Oracle Deck by Alana Fairchild  Work with me:  NEW!

We are the experience and simultaneously the witness of this experience. Grace is that which calls you  away from the chaos, away from the noise of the world. Grace is the same as peace, but there is no peacekeeper nor anyone being silent. Grace is the breath of the Self." -Mooji "Your future will be nothing like your past. You won't have to do as much talking; your energy will speak for you. You won't have to do as much of the hard labor; your energy will work for you. You won't have to do as much convincing because you'll realize that the authentic truth as you know it always reveals itself. You're getting more comfortable in your skin and soul, and that growth will manifest on a number of levels. Life is getting easier. Life is getting lighter. When you envision your future, leave the difficult version in your past." - @Sourcemessages via IG "When you feel power within yourself, when new light dawns on you from within, the more you can keep it concealed in utter calm and stillness, the more will it grow in intensity.

My heart was deeply moved by this quiet, heartful conversation with Cole Arthur Riley, creator and curator of Black Liturgies (a project of The Center for Dignity and Contemplation), and author of the books This Here Flesh and the upcoming Black Liturgies:  Prayers, Poems, and Meditations for Staying Human. Cole shares her soulful work daily on Instagram. In our conversation we share about our kindred childhood experiences with silence, solitude, and finding our written and spoken voices. Together, we find commonality in the spiritual nature of our work and the use of language in soul service, and in how self-examination becomes more critical for us as we address systemic violence, oppression, and atrocities in the world. We also discuss the medicinal utility of addressing the root of human suffering, violence, and supremacy, rather than emphasizing surface-level social group categorizations.  Our conversation is at once very personal and very timely as we face and address the continuing reality of human crisis and faith as our way home.Sacred Conversations are periodic episodes of my podcast in which I reach out to people whose work and life inspire me, and we simply have an old fashioned phone conversation.

I am thrilled to share with you my Sacred Conversation with Dr. Thema Bryant. As many of you know from our past conversations, Dr. Thema embodies so many graces. She is a sacred dancer, poet, author, minister, doctor of psychology, therapist, professor, and currently the President of the American Psychological Association. This conversation is full of joy and laughter. We explore the gift of emotional honesty, the importance of physical embodiment, and the power of being true to yourself in a world that may often relate to you in oppressive ways. Dr. Thema and I both share naked stories of our journeying from trauma to truth, and we discuss how creative expression can help us to heal and return home to ourselves, particularly when the world is suffering in particularly intense ways. Our conversation is more than anything a prayer, that we each remain rooted in our divine and holy nature.

A spiritual communion. The idea is for us to relax and enjoy an organic conversation, like over tea or breaking bread, and get to know each other along the way.

It can be a consistent light around you that announces, 'I will be treated sacredly'."-Jaiya John, Fragrance After Rain via IG @Jaiyajohn "Even a brief flash of God realization,  will cause some human problem to dissolve."-Joel Goldsmith "The spiritual journey is awakening back into the unity, the oneness, the spirit, the God, that permeates and is all things. Not so that you get lost in the unity and forget the diversity, or your uniqueness, but that you regain the balance."-Ram Dass Support the showBeginning Aug 7, 2023 - 'GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki' will host pre and post roll ads within the back catalogue.
