Diego Hernandez started Diego's Chocolate at Lake Atitlan in Guatemala in 1990. Diego and his family are of Tz'utujil Mayan heritage, and he adapted his abuela's sipping chocolate recipe into a unique format—rolls of untempered chocolate, often made with unique inclusions. All of the cacao and inclusions are grown in Guatemala.In this episode, we talk with Nico Silverman, Diego's U.S. representative. We talk about Diego's story, the details of their chocolate, and Nico's experiences with pairing Diego's Chocolate rolls with craft beer and craft cider in New York state.Listen to the end of the episode for an exclusive discount code for 20% everything on the Diego's shop!You can learn more about Diego's on their website and follow them on Instagram.You can also learn more about Wolf Hollow Brewing, Dancing Grain Farm Brewery, and Nine Pin Ciders.Guest:Nico Silverman—While employed at Etsy.com in 2012, Nico stumbled into the world of craft chocolate and discovered Diego's unique chocolate rolls, a revelation that changed his trajectory. Drawing from a background in nonprofit development and project management, he saw an opportunity to create meaningful impact through ethical commerce. Since then, he has brought Diego's Chocolate to thousands of consumers across North America while creating jobs in Guatemala where each roll is handcrafted and packaged. His work bridges traditional Mayan chocolate-making with conscious consumers, preserving ancestral practices while building economic opportunities for artisan and farming communities.

We're in the Central American country to hear a tale of two lakes. One, Lake Amatitlan, is badly polluted and there's concerns that the other – Lake Atitlan - once nominated as one of the seven new wonders of the world and - is in danger of going that way too. We hear about the costs needed to clean up these important tourist attractions, and hear about the loss of income for local businesses. Produced and presented by Jane Chambers(Image: A worker picks up rubbish on the shore of Lake Amatilan, Guatemala, during a voluntary clean up day in August 2024. Credit: Getty Images)

In this week's episode of Queerly Beloved, I sit down with Shadi Terra, a Wild-at-Heart, Kink-positive, Relationship & Sexuality Educator who's paving new pathways in the world of shamanic kink, conscious relationships, and transformational ritual. Shadi draws from a powerful blend of lived experiences and professional training to support personal and erotic empowerment, relational mastery, and self-awareness for individuals and groups alike.Shadi's journey began with a life-changing nomadic adventure, and we start there, exploring how they connected with their calling and met transformational teachers at Lake Atitlan, a place that also holds deep meaning in my own heart. From there, we dive into the world of cacao as Shadi shares insights on this gentle yet profound plant medicine and its role in emotional processing.Our conversation then heats up as we discuss the power of ritual, especially fire rituals, before diving into the juicy world of conscious kink. Shadi shares how kink and BDSM, when approached with intention, can be healing and transformative, creating safe spaces to explore power dynamics and self-expression. We even explore our own imagined playful scenario to demonstrate the potential alchemy of conscious kink!We wrap up with a look ahead at Shadi's upcoming retreat, Conscious Kink at the Jungle Gayborhood, happening this November. This episode is packed with wisdom, warmth, and a bit of playful edge you won't want to miss!Click here to sign-up for Conscious Kink- https://junglegayborhood.com/conscious-kink-ritual/(Be sure to mention this podcast, Queerly Beloved, or Wil Fisher as “where you heard of the retreat”). Learn more about Shadi here- https://www.terraviva.love/Connect with Wil Fisher here- https://www.wil-fullyliving.com/Support the show

This week on Everything You Didn't Know About Herbalism, we are sharing an awakening conversation surrounding the intersection of herbalism and grief with the author, educator, non-profit leader, and environmental advocate, Emily Ruff. Driven by her profound dedication and compassion, Emily sits down with us to dissect the individual and collective impact that environmental grief has on our communities, and how redefining its influence may play a key role in re-establishing a symbiotic relationship with our planet. We'll explore how this can be accomplished by leaning on our plant allies in times of loss, which will not only provide us with the medicinal value of a botanical but also strengthen our gratitude for the gifts nature provides us. In turn, this strengthened connection allows us to join the planet on its journey toward healing, hand-in-hand. In Emily's words, "Working with herbs for grief does not erase the causes of grief or the need for us to continue working towards collective liberation and justice, but hopefully, it gives us more fortitude and resilience to be able to do that."  

A yoga class retreat to the beautiful, (and spiritual) Lake Atitlan in Guatemala turns deadly for yoga enthusiast Nancy Ng. But not only are the circumstances surrounding her mysterious disappearance stange... so is the behavior of her yoga instructor/guru Eddie. As Nancy's family desperately seeks answers -- they are met with silence, lawyers and a less than helpful witness. This recent case has our trio posing lots of questions and theories as to what went downward out on the lake. Want more Slaycation (additional bonus content) and want it sooner ?

TIMESTAMPS (12:52) Gypsy Rose net worth/ Profiting off of crime (17:04) Rex Heuermann Update (23:00) Nancy Ng Californian woman Nancy Ng loved traveling to Lake Atitlan in Guatemala.  She attended a yoga retreat there in 2022 and planned another one for October 2023.  Her sister Nicky said “She was saying it's so beautiful.  Last year, she woke up every morning just to spend some time there by herself without the group and this year was going to be more exciting because they had planned activities on the lake.” When Nancy arrived in Guatemala, she sent a text to her family before putting her phone into airplane mode.  “I'll be safe, don't worry about me,” Nancy and the other retreat attendees went kayaking on Lake Atitlan on October 19.  Nancy was seen smiling and waving in footage from that morning.  What happened next is unclear, as there was only one other person kayaking with Nancy.  That person is an attorney from California, named Christina Blazek.  Christina said that Nancy wanted to swim in the lake and she jumped out of her kayak, despite warnings about the rough conditions from Christina.  Nancy apparently disappeared under the water and did not resurface. Christina made it to shore and a search started for Nancy.  When Guatemalan authorities went to interview the retreat attendees the day after Nancy vanished, they were all said to have left the country. In this episode of the True Crune Society Podcast, we discuss the disappearance of Nancy Ng.    Accident or foul play? As of January 2024, Nancy remains missing.

In this week's episode, we reflect on the role both joy and sorrow simultaneously play in our lives. We chat about how pressing into grief allows us to more fully experience joy, and how when we try to numb ourselves to the sorrow we also numb ourselves to the experience of joy. We also talk about the importance of naming disappointments, intentionally maturing in our faith, and what we have personally learned while grieving the loss of a parent. When we learn to suffer well and meet God in the midst of our sufferings, we can reach a deep joy we never thought possible.    Heather's One Thing - Attending and speaking at SEEK ‘24.  Watch my session here. Sister Miriam's One Thing - Therapist's Conference with the JPII Healing Center Michelle's One Thing - Nick Sabn Retiring From College Football    Announcement: We are excited to announce that our Lenten book study will be: A Time of Renewal: Daily Reflections for the Lenten Season by Mother Mary Francis, P.C.C. Visit our website for more information!   Journal Questions: What paradoxes am I called to live in right now? How can I bring the Lord into my disappointments? Am I more prone to pushing my emotions aside or letting my emotions rule my life (emotional gluttony)? In seasons of grief, who are the people who have been my midwives and accompanied me through those seasons?   Discussion Questions: What disappointments have you experienced this past year? Is it hard for you to be honest with God about those disappointments? What is God redeeming and restoring in your life? In a current disappointment or heartbreak you are feeling, what gratitude are you experiencing alongside it? What gifts of daily bread is the Lord providing for you in this season?   Quote to Ponder: “Our life is a short time in expectation, a time in which sadness and joy kiss each other at every moment. There is a quality of sadness that pervades all the moments of our lives. It seems that there is no such thing as a clear-cut pure joy, but that even in the most happy moments of our existence we sense a tinge of sadness. In every satisfaction, there is an awareness of limitations. In every success, there is the fear of jealousy. Behind every smile, there is a tear. In every embrace, there is loneliness. In every friendship, distance. And in all forms of light, there is the knowledge of surrounding darkness . . . But this intimate experience in which every bit of life is touched by a bit of death can point us beyond the limits of our existence. It can do so by making us look forward in expectation to the day when our hearts will be filled with perfect joy, a joy that no one shall take away from us.” (Henri J.M. Nouwen, Making All Things New: An Invitation to the Spiritual Life)   Scripture for Lectio:  He turns my mourning into dancing. You have turned my mourning into dancing; you have taken off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, so that my soul may praise you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever. (Psalm 30:11-12)   Sponsor - Pilgrimage to Beauty: Pilgrimage to Beauty (www.pilgrimagetobeauty.com/abidingtogether) creates transformative experiences of true rest and retreat, for couples or individuals wired for adventure. Whether you're an adventurer or a contemplative, Pilgrimage to Beauty invites you to Guatemala July 24-31, 2024 for a unique encounter with Blessed Stanley Rother in the Mayan village he served and died for only 43 years ago.

 Mark D. Walker, a Returned U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer from Guatemala, is an award-winning writer and President of Million Mile Walker. His new book is “The Guatemala Reader: Extraordinary Lives & Amazing Stories”. In the book are graphs comparing Guatemala from 1970 to now, a map and a section on “How Can I Make a Difference,” and how local NGOs made a difference in Guatemala.  Prior to that he wrote, “My Saddest Pleasures: 50 Years on the Road,” which reflects on his fifty years of travel miscalculations and disasters and how and why his travels changed over the years. Currently, Guatemala is involved in political chaos with the government persecuting its political enemies which seems to be emulated in many areas such as the US, Hungary and other formerly thriving democracies He is also involved with Pen America working to combat arbitrary book banning and burning in Arizona and other states.

Hint: It's Not What You ThinkWhile I was in Lake Atitlan Guatemala I had the lesson reinforced that literally anything we want in life is possible and that it really only takes two simple things.The lake is surrounded by many small and modest villages along with some of the most spectacular resorts and villas that can rival anywhere in the world. That might not sound so special until you hear about HOW these posh places to stay are constructed.Lake Atitlan is surrounded by volcanos, which makes most of the lake-side property very very steep. This results in most of the land only being accessible by boat and after that human power. No trucks, no heavy machinery, not even animal assistance (animals are too big). That means everything to build and maintain these structures is all humans carried often up a very very steep hillside.Often we think that if something doesn't come easy or fast then we must be doing it wrong or it's not for us. If these gorgeous places can be built under these conditions then surely we can create anything we want in our life. What does it take to create what we want?It's not what you think. It's not money. It's not certifications. It's not know-how. It's not luck. Those can all come and go and can be acquired or borrowed. What's required and what can't come from anywhere else but inside of you are these two simple things:Vision and CommitmentIf you have no vision, then there isn't even anywhere to go, so direction to start out on.If you have no commitment then when the road becomes steep or the weather changes, you'll stop, turn around, or give up entirely.When you have Vision AND Commitment then anything is possible and it's only a matter of time before it becomes a reality.If you're not sure what your vision is then my best-selling book "Engineered to Love" (now available on audiobook) https://a.co/d/inqi2Kk is a great place to start.

Coming at us all the way from Lake Atitlan in Guatemala, today's guest Kasey DellaPena AKA @KaseyMeetsWorld really is living that dream nomad life (cute foreign boyfriend included)

Remember, perspective can cause two people to look at the same thing and see two totally different things. 请记住，观点可以让两个人看一件事然后看到了两种截然不同的事。（英语访谈8:13开始）How was the Guatemala trip?Lily: Yeah. So I also just mentioned, you also mentioned that you were quite sick, almost like most of your trip in Guatemala. So how was the trip Guatemala for you now you are back home for almost a month now, right?是的。所以我刚才也提到，你也提到你病得很重，几乎在危地马拉旅行的大部分时间。现在你已经回家快一个月了，危地马拉之行对你来说感觉如何？Bella: Yeah, I've been back for a while. I wanted to go to Guatemala cause I went there in college for a study abroad and it changed my life. It was such a positive experience. But this time I went by myself first time traveling alone. I've traveled alone but on retreats to meet up with groups. But I was solo the whole time. First day I got there I got sick food poisoning or I might have accidentally had tap water. Who knows, maybe the ice throwing up. It是的，我已经回来一段时间了。我想去危地马拉，是因为我在大学里去那里留学，它改变了我的生命，一次非常积极的经历。但是这次我是一个人去的，第一次一个人旅行。我虽然曾独自旅行，但只有在静修会上与团体会面。但这次我一直都是一个人。我到那儿的第一天就得了食物中毒，或者我可能不小心喝了自来水。谁知道呢，也有可能是水里的冰。Lily: It is the welcome of Guatemala, everybody has to be sick. I had a goodbye gift the first time I was here. I had a goodbye gift, which I was having food poisoning on the last day. 这就是危地马拉的欢迎礼物，人人都有。生病。我第一次来这里时是收到了一份告别礼物。在我来离开之前我就食物中毒了。Bella: Oh my God. Apparently a nasty one. Oh no, you've been there before.我的天啊。不用说这真的很令人讨厌一个礼物。不会吧，你以前去过那里（危地马拉）。Lily: I was in Guatemala six, six years ago. 六年前我来过危地马拉。Bella: Oh my God, how interesting. And I went 10 years ago. It's funny how it brings people back.哦，天哪，多么有趣。我10年前去过。有趣的是它如何让人们回归。Lily: Yeah, definitely. 就是啊。Bella: It's also Lake Atitlan where we were is also known to be a vortex if you've heard.你有听说过，我们所在的亚蒂特兰湖也是众所周知的能量的漩涡Lily: And you told me that. Yeah, I like that idea.你告诉我的。是的，我喜欢这个想法。Bella: Well I felt like it is because the energy felt very intense. I was feeling everything at a higher level, more strongly, more intensely. And I think that that's part of me getting sick. I think I was releasing something. I needed to purge some energy that was trapped in me because despite getting sick and having such a hard time, I did feel like a new person after the trip.我觉得因为我感觉能量非常强烈。我感觉一切都在更高的层次上，更强烈，更为激烈。我认为那是导致我生病的一部分原因。我想我在释放一些东西。我需要清除一些被困在我身上的能量，因为尽管生病了而且经历了如此艰难的时光，但旅行后我确实感觉像一个新人。Lily: Amazing. You did the perfect advertising there. 好棒啊。你甚至为危地马拉旅游做了完美的广告。Bella: . Yeah, sometimes we need to learn lessons hard in harder ways. Sometimes they're more valuable that way when we learn them through going through something because I feel much stronger after having that experience because I feel like I can survive anything now. Because being alone in a place where there's not a lot of people, there aren't many stores. I was on a very small, small village away from 是的，有时我们需要以更艰难的方式努力吸取教训。有时，当我们通过经历某些事情来学习它们时，这种方式会更有价值，因为在经历了那次体验后我感觉更强大了，因为我觉得我现在可以在任何事情上生存下来。因为我一个人在一个人不多的地方、一个没有很多商店的小村庄远离家乡去生活。Lily: Santa Cruz. 圣塔克鲁兹。Bella: Santa Cruz, yes. And there were no markets. Everything closed at five. There was no one at my Airbnb. It was the off season. So there weren't a lot of travelers and I was dying. It happened three times I got sick and finally I just said, I'm gonna go home. But I do, I felt like I survived some epic challenge or I just went through Survivor being on that show.圣塔克鲁兹，是的。而且没有市场。一切都在五点关门。我住的 Airbnb 民宿也没有其他人。因为正临淡季。所以没有很多旅人，我都快死了。我生病了三次，最后我只好说，我要回家了。但以我回家了，我觉得我在某种史诗般的挑战中幸存下来，就好像我刚刚经历了那个实境秀“幸存者”一样。Lily: . Wow, nice. So how's the life back since you got back to Los Angeles? You said that it was a lot of energy here, but is it changed since you got back?喔，不错哟。你回到洛杉矶后的生活怎么样？你说这里的能量很大，但是你回家后有变化吗？Bella: Well, something interesting happened and it's the same thing that happened the last time I visited Guatemala. I came back with this new appreciation for life and for all of the amenities and conveniences that we have in a city like Los Angeles that you often take for granted. Because when you go off to a small village in a third world country and you see how other people live, it really puts things into perspective. And when I went 10 years ago, I had never really left the country. I had never been to a third world country. I was just in LA and I thought that's what the whole world was. I was in college at the time, I had a very, my mind wasn't as open. And then everything changed, everything shifted. I became so much more grateful, appreciated things that I had. I didn't take things for granted.But so many years had passed by so you kind of forget the lessons, you start taking things for granted again. And then I went back and cuz I remember just not wanting to be in LA, not liking it, wanting to get out. When I got back, I saw it in a new light and I appreciated it more. I don't know if I'm gonna spend my whole life in LA, but I definitely saw it in a new light and appreciated every little thing. Not that Guatemala is not great because of the food, the people, the culture is amazing, but it's a very poor country. And when you see how other people live, you really appreciate everything that you have. So it was amazing to go back.好吧，发生了一些有趣的事情，这与我上次访问危地马拉时发生的事情是一样的。我回来时对生活更加地感激，以及我们在洛杉矶这样的城市经常认为理所当然的设施和便利和拥有的所有，有了新的认识。因为当你去第三世界国家的一个小村庄时，你会看到其他人的生活，这真的会让你用正确的角度去看事情。当我 10 年前去的时候，我还从未真正离开过这个国家（美国）。我从未去过第三世界国家。我只是在洛杉矶，那时我认为这就是整个世界。当时我还在上大学，我的思想没有那么开放。然后一切都变了，一切都变了。我变得更加感激，感激我拥有的东西。我没有把事情当作是理所当然的。但是这么多年过去了，所以你有点忘记了教训，你又开始认为事情是理所当然的。然后我回去了，因为我记得我只是不想待在洛杉矶，不喜欢它，想离开。当我回来时，我以新的眼光看待它，并且更加欣赏它。我不知道我是否会在洛杉矶度过我的一生，但我确实以全新的眼光看待它，并欣赏每一件小事。并不是危地马拉不好，因为危地马拉的食物、人民和文化都很棒，而它是一个非常贫穷的国家。当你看到别人的生活时，你真的很感激你拥有的一切。所以能够再回去真是太棒了。Lily: That's so true. Actually, six years years ago, six years ago I was here. I was brokenhearted because I just got cheated by my husband and I just wanted to do something that makes me feel good. And I was here building a bottle school with 25 people from all over the world. I was thinking that I was giving, but actually I feel like the people here was giving me, instead, I thought I was doing the good things for the community. But instead it's like the people they are, they give me a new perspective of life. And I was just like, oh, so appreciative. They don't have cell phone. And then they are like, don't make lots of money. They don't make money at all. And then they are happy. So just give me a new perspective. And then I didn't speak any Spanish, but that trip inspired me to learn Spanish. So now this time I'm back here is actually, I want to improve my Spanish and now I can speak more, communicate with the people here. I feel really appreciative. And just like you said, how a trip can really change you.这是真的。其实六年前，六年前我就在这里。我很伤心，因为我的丈夫被我老公欺骗（出轨）了，我只想做一些让我感觉良好的事情。我来到这里和来自世界各地的 25 人一起帮忙盖了一所瓶子学校。当初我以为我在给予，但实际上我觉得这里的人在给予我，相反，我认为我是在为社区做好事。但相反，就像他们这样的人一样，他们给了我一种新的生活视角。我就是非常感激。他们没有手机。然后他赚不太多钱，其实他们根本不赚钱，然后他们很开心。所以请给我一个新的视角。然后我不会说西班牙语，但那次旅行激发了我学习西班牙语的灵感。所以这次回来实际上是，我想提高我的西班牙语，现在我可以说更多，与这里的人交流。我真的很感激。就像你说的，一次旅行真的可以真正改变你。Bella: Yeah, exactly. I'm glad you had such a similar experience. I think everybody in the world needs to experience that. I remember the first time I came back, I couldn't stop talking about how I went into a house and they didn't have a floor. They lived with a dirt floor. And it is just such a small thing that you overlook every single day, like a floor. And some people just don't have it. They have dirt. More common than we think because we're not told this on a daily basis. It's not like we turn on the news and it shows all the poor people in the world that are struggling that and it's because of the corruption in their governments and things like that. We don't know what's really going on in the world. But when you go out and see it face to face, then it's really clicks and you realize how blessed you are.是的，完全正确。很高兴你有这样相似的经历。我认为世界上每个人都需要体验这一点。我记得我第一次回来的时候，我没法不谈论我是如何走进一所房子而他们没有地板的。他们住在泥地板上。它只是一件你每天都忽略的小东西，比如地板。有些人就是没有。他们只有土。比我们想像的更常见，因为我们不是每天都在经历这些事情。也不像我们打开新闻，就显示世界上所有正在苦苦挣扎的穷人，这是因为他们政府的腐败和诸如此类的事情。我们其实不知道世界上到底发生了什么。但是当你出去面对面地看到它时，它真的是咔哒一声，你会意识到你是多么的幸运。单词记忆：1. retreats 度假静修（瑜珈、冥想）2. food poisoning 食物中毒3. vortex 涡轮4. intense 激烈的5. survive 存活下6. epic 如史诗般7. take for granted 将...视为理所当然8. put things into perspective 用正确的观点看事情9. cheat 欺骗 get cheated by 被骗 cheat on 出轨10. appreciative 感恩的 appreciate 感激11. dirt floor 土的地板12. corruption 贪污腐败Bella 她的IG是：https://www.instagram.com/astrobellaluna/Email: Astrobellaluna@gmail.comLily的网站和Girls Only社群：https://flywithlily.com/join

Nothing more exciting than meeting new people, hearing their stories, and being inspired. 没有什么是比见新的朋友、听到他们的故事然后被启发，还要更令人兴奋的了。（访谈7：00开始）Lily: Hello. You're listening to Fly with Lily. Now I'm sitting here with Bella, my friend. Actually I met her quite unexpectedly in Guatemala during these day. I'm still in San Pedro. She left. She left me here but I just find her quite special. At first when I met her it was the feeling of starstruck, if you know what I mean, is like, oh I'm meeting a movie star. Because my friend Brian was introducing her before I met her and I was just like, oh, I'm quite nervous about meeting her. And finally I met her. She's really friendly, a little bit goofy and I really like her, although she left me, but I just think she's amazing woman doing what she loves and she's helping a lot of people with her skill, which we are going to talk about a little bit. So now I'm going to bring her here and then to interview from her point of view. So Bella, how do we meet? Exactly. And then what was the first meeting? What was the first impression?你好。你正在听 Fly with Lily。现在我和我的朋友贝拉在这儿，实际上在危地马拉很意外地遇到了她。我现在还在San Pedro。她走了。她把我留在这里，但我觉得她很特别。起初，当我遇见她时，好像变成了追星族，因为我遇到了一位电影明星！我的朋友Brian在我认识她之前就介绍了她，所以当我终于见到她的时候我很紧张，但她真的很友善，有点可爱的傻呼呼地，我真的很喜欢她，虽然她离开了我，但我只是认为她是一个了不起的女人，她正在喜欢做的事，她用她的技能帮助了很多人，我们将稍微讨论一下。所以现在我要把她邀请来我的播客，然后从她的角度进行采访。那么贝拉，我们是怎么见面？第一次会面的第一印像是什么？Bella: Hi Lily. Well, first of all, I was very excited to meet you because I love your energy and I felt like we were kindred spirits. Maybe we live together in a past life as sisters or something . But it was an instant connection and it was a very interesting way that we met because I actually met your roommate who was also your “hermano” which is you called your brother.嗨，Lily。首先，我很高兴见到你，因为我喜欢你的活力，我觉得我们志趣相投。也许我们前世作为姐妹或什么的生活在一起。但这是一种马上就产生了连结，我们相遇的方式非常有趣，因为我实际上遇到了你的室友，他也是你称之为你的兄弟的人。（Hermano这里是西语指弟兄的意思）Lily: Yeah, my brother from another mother. 是的，亲如兄弟的好朋友。Bella: You guys were a little “la familia” there. We met because I had met Brian the day before at a dance party in the jungle. And it was a very interesting to say the least type of dance party. It was a little creepy. Go outright and say . It was, I'm a very spiritual person. I go to a lot of these spiritual events. But this one in particular, the vibes were very off and they were making us do some weird things called contact dance where we had to touch each other and stare into each other's eyes with strangers. And some of the people there were a little off, a little weird and I did not wanna stare into their eyes. But I did it for a minute and then I walked away and I was like, this is not for me. I'm not touching these people.I don't wanna do this. And Brian was there and he was actually the most normal one at the party. So he kind of sat with me and made me feel better. And he offered to walk me back down to the dock because you have to take a boat to go everywhere in Lake Atitlan. So I walked with Brian and we really connected. He, he's a really awesome guy. He's a great dancer and we had so much fun and we just had this instant connection and I knew he was gonna be a long time friend right off the bat. And he was kind of my hero that night because I felt like I was in this strange country, this country very far away from home by myself. Didn't really know the language, didn't know anyone. It was my first time doing something like that and I felt like Brian came in an angel to rescue me from this weird party that I of course ended up at because I'm quite adventurous. But I've been lucky. I feel like I always have guardian angels around me and I think Brian was one of them. 你们在那里有点像一个家庭（la familia家庭的西语）。我们认识是因为我前一天在丛林的舞会上认识了Brian。至少可以说这是一场非常有趣的舞会。这有点令人毛骨悚然。直截了当地说。是的，我是一个非常有灵性的人。我参加了很多这样的灵性的聚会。但特别是这一次，气氛非常不对劲，他们让我们做一些奇怪的事情，叫做接触舞，我们不得不互相触摸，和陌生人凝视对方的眼睛。那里的一些人有点不对劲、有点怪异，我不想直视他们的眼睛。但我做了一分钟，然后走开了，我想，这不适合我。我不会碰这些人，我不想这样做。 Brian也在场，他实际上是派对上最正常的人。所以他有点和我坐在一起，让我感觉好多了。他主动提出送我回到码头，因为你必须乘船去阿蒂特兰湖的任何地方。所以我和布赖恩一起散步，我们真的很有默契。他真是个了不起的家伙。他是一位很棒的舞者，我们玩得很开心，我们刚刚建立了这种即时连结，我知道他会立即成为我的长期朋友。那天晚上他有点像我的英雄，因为我觉得自己在这个陌生的国家，这个离家很远的国家。不懂这种语言，不认识任何人。这是我第一次做这样的事情，我觉得 Brian 化身天使来把我从这个奇怪的派对中解救出来，我当然最终参加了这个派对，因为我非常喜欢冒险。但我很幸运。我觉得我身边总是有守护天使，我认为 Brian 就是其中之一。 Lily: And he definitely has to listen to this one.而这集播客，他肯定是要听的。Bella: Yeah, we'll force him to . But yeah. And then he brought me over to your guys' “casa”, which was you guys were staying with this awesome Guatemala family. And I think I was having a rough day because I was sick for half the time that I was there. My computer broke the first day that I was there and you were so kind and so friendly and you offered to take my computer to the computer shop cuz it was closed that day and I just felt like I could instantly trust you. So I left you my computer and then we had an amazing lunch with the family you were staying at. That was one of my favorite days in Guatemala because it was so authentic. It was so real. We got to connect with the locals, the indigenous people speak their language, eat their food, and it was really special. 是的，我们会强迫他。然后他带我去了你们家（casa是家的西语），那是你们和这个很棒的危地马拉家庭住在一起的地方。而且我那时过得很艰难，因为我在那里的一半时间都在生病。我在那里的第一天我的电脑就坏了，你非常善良和友好，你提出把我的电脑带到电脑店，因为那天电脑店关门了，我觉得我可以立即信任你。所以我把电脑留给了你，然后我们和你住的家人共进了一顿丰盛的午餐。那是我在危地马拉最喜欢的日子之一，因为它是如此地道。太真实了。我们与当地的原住民说他们的语言，吃他们的食物，这真的很特别。Lily: They were starstruck as well. 因为他们那天也追星了。Bella: Oh right, you guys! So you're so funny. I had showed Brian some clips of some TV show that I did called Jane the Virgin. And that was just like a funny show.哦，你们超有趣的。你们记得我是那个女演员。之前我给布莱恩看了一些电视节目的片段，我拍的那个节目叫《处女简》。那是一个有趣的电视剧，Lily: I watched that. 我还看过呢。Bella: Yeah. So I did that. I, I've been acting on and off my whole life and did some film and did some television in here in LA theater my whole life. Commercials a bunch of stuff. But yeah, I never think of myself as famous or anything like that. But your reaction…是的。所以我就那样做了。我，我一生都在断断续续地演戏，一生都在洛杉矶剧院拍过一些电影和电视。广告一堆东西。但是，是的，我从不认为自己有名或类似的东西。但是你的反应真的很有意思。Lily: When you are talking about yourself like that, I feel like wow. Such a pleasure to have you on my show. Oh my god. It's like I finally invited Brad Pitt to my show. That kind of feeling. 当你这样谈论自己时，我觉得很哇。很高兴你能参加我的节目。我的天啊。就好像我终于邀请了布拉德皮特来看我的节目。那种感觉。Bella: The pleasure's all mine. Honestly. It is amazing! 这才是我的荣幸。真的很棒！单词记忆：1. starstruck 追星族2. goofy 傻傻的3. kindred spirits 志趣相投的人4. instant connection 立刻的连结5. creepy 诡异的6. spiritual 灵性的 - religious 有信仰的7. rescue 拯救8. guardian angels 守护天使9. the indigenous people 原住民、土著10.

This episode is all about self care, specifically care of your physical self,  beyond the bubble bath and pedicures. This is REAL care–not the recommendations of health gurus who sell you supplements, or IG posts that remind you you are worthy. This is self love at chakra one, at the base of your mountain: giving your body grace, gratitude, and goodness.  If you've ever had an injury or a chronic condition, or you have one now, I hope this episode will bring you a new perspective on caring for your body with an attitude of gentleness. I've learned a lot about being gentler with myself, and I know I'm not the only one who has some room for growth in this area.

What's up to my quintessential quetzals and meritorious margays! Welcome to the BNP beloved listeners and thanks so much for tuning in. This episode I'm joined by my good friend, hermano de otra madre, and traveling compatriot Jonathan Glowacki to discuss, reminisce and digest our recent travails thru the magnificent country of Guatemala. This episode is momentous for several reasons, not the least of which is that it features the BNP's first ever Saunacast, where Jonathan and I record a deeply psychedelic segment during the 4th round of a serious sauna sesh at over 200° F (94° C). My trusty moderately intelligent rare earth device lasted about 10 minutes before succumbing to the heat and abruptly cutting off the segment. Still, it's a vibe. Jonathan then tells the harrowing tale of his highly unregulated, nearly fatal motorcycle tour thru the dusty roads and precipitous cliffs of the Guatemalan highlands, and that reminiscence leads to a discussion of what makes Guatemalan society hit so different from life in the empire. Two differences in societal approach really stand out: approaches to mitigating (or rather NOT mitigating) risk, and the lack of slavish adherence to this demonic thing we empire babies call "convenience." Convenience for convenience's sake is a curse, not a blessing, and spending time in a place like Guatemala really drives this home. We also chat about the wild (also highly unregulated- do you detect a pattern) DIY boat rides between the pueblos nestled on the shore of Lake Atitlan, active volcanoes popping off outside Antigua, military controlled neighborhoods in Guatemala City and much more.So fire up your baby jeeter, pop open a monkfruit sweetened grape soda (or whatever the f***), kick up your toes and enjoy the ride! Please keep your mind and thoughts decidedly *outside* the carriage while the audio ride is in motion. Welcome to Guatemala.

Do you want to learn how to stand up paddleboard in Lake Atitlan Guatemala? I had the chance to interview Marshall, a Canadian expat who currently lives in Atitlan with his wife Annette. He's a big fan of Latin American food and says that the weather is perfect year-round. Listen to my interview with https://arewehomeyetpodcast.com/welcome-to-the-are-we-home-yet-podcast/ (Are we home yet? podcast )episode 29 guest, Marshall, about fully enjoying expat life in Lake Atitlan Guatemala and running a Stand Up Paddleboard business. Guatemala is a fascinating country to live in, both for its weather and its culture. The country has a thriving Aboriginal culture, and it is interesting to see how the indigenous people of Guatemala are still living in their ancestral ways. Living among their culture is quite an experience, and it is also fascinating to watch as they interact with the modern world. From a weather perspective, Guatemala is just a fantastic place to live, it's called the land of Eternal Spring. The climate is perfect for those who love the outdoors, and there are plenty of activities to keep you busy. Whether you enjoy hiking, biking, or simply spending time in nature, you'll find that Guatemala has something to offer. In addition to its great weather, Guatemala also boasts a rich cultural heritage. If you're interested in learning about the country's history and customs, you'll be sure to find plenty of opportunities to do so. Whether you're looking for an adventure-filled vacation or a peaceful place to call home, Guatemala is sure to please. One of the most notable features of Guatemala is Lake Atitlan, a large lake in the southwestern part of the country. Lake Atitlan Guatemala was once voted one of the "Most Beautiful Lake in the world." It is located in the Highlands of Guatemala, nestled amid mountains and volcanoes, and lush vegetation. Visitors to Lake Atitlan Guatemala can enjoy the stunning scenery, relax in the peaceful atmosphere, and explore the rich culture of the local people. Every year thousands of people come to experience its beauty for themselves. Lake Atitlan Guatemala is more than three miles long and up to a mile wide, with depths reaching over 1,000 feet and incredibly clear. Its shores are dotted with small villages, and its waters are home to many different kinds of fish. Lake Atitlan Guatemala is also a popular spot for kayaking, fishing, hiking, swimming, and thanks to Marshall, stand up paddleboarding, through his company Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) Atitlan. Lake Atitlan Guatemala is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. But it's not just the scenery that makes the beautiful Lake Atitlan Guatemala special. Lake Atitlan Guatemala is also home to a wide variety of wildlife, including rare species of fish, birds, and reptiles. In addition, the lake is an important cultural center for the Maya people. For centuries, the Maya have been drawn to Lake Atitlan for its spiritual power. Even today, many Maya pilgrims make the journey to the lake to offer prayers and sacrifices to the Gods. With its natural beauty and rich history, it's no wonder that the beautiful Lake Atitlan Guatemala is considered one of the seven wonders of Guatemala. https://arewehomeyetpodcast.com/standup-paddleboard-lake-atitlan-guatemala/ (If you want to know more insider knowledge about living in Lake Atitlan Guatemala and stand up paddleboarding, click this link to tune in to episode 29 of the Are We Home Yet podcast and hear more from Marshall!) https://are-we-home-yet.captivate.fm/listen (Subscribe, Download, Share, Rate, Review the podcast!)

This book provides you means and methods for accessing expanded or higher states of consciousness. It gives you a plan on using these experiences to awaken to yourself as consciousness, to help you profoundly heal, and to self-realize. You will then live in innate presence and subsequently transform your life.I discovered ancient priesthood ritual methods for accessing expanded states of consciousness while researching the archaeology of the Sun god religions of Egypt, India, and Central and South America. Ritual Meditation and Transcendental Self-Inquiry methods, derived from these discoveries, will help you know yourself as consciousness within and beyond objective reality.You will find this book useful if you already meditate and know profound spiritual and healing experiences are possible—but don't know how. You already understand that magic mushrooms can dramatically improve the symptoms and quality of life for people with an array of psychoemotional issues relating to death anxiety, depression, anxiety, chemical addictions, post-traumatic stress, and difficult emotions resulting from early life abuse—but don't know how to use them. If you're a hobby archaeologists looking for objective answers to our ancient enigmatic past then you will witness some unique archaeological discoveries in reading this book.Go on, put me in your basket, read me, then practice with humility, and i guarantee you that you will transform your life and what happens after you die.orn in the UK and raised in New Zealand, Carlton has led an interesting, eclectic, adventurous, and purposeful life-a road less travelled.

In this episode, we conclude in our Lenten series as we journey through Sister Miriam's book Restore. It's not too late to join us! You can find your copy today at Ave Maria Press. We discuss entering into the paschal mystery with our whole hearts. We chat about the different characters of the Passion - Judas, Mary of Bethany, Peter - and how we can experience God's extravagant love through the Holy Week liturgies. We pray that you would be open to the Holy Spirit, carry the light burden of sacrifice this week, and experience the resurrection power of Jesus!    Sister Miriam's one thing - Soaking in His Presence - William Augusto Bethel  Heather's one thing - The Life on Purpose Series by Alpha Michelle's one thing - The Gift of Brother Priests    Discussion Questions:     What stood out to you from this week's episode? What traditions have been helpful to your family to enter into Holy Week and prepare for Easter? How can we make this week different, entering into the suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus?  As we celebrate Easter, how will you live the reality of resurrection power in your daily life?  As we prepare for Pentecost, how can you allow the Lord to use you by being more open and receptive to the Holy Spirit?    Journal Questions: Research the Holy Week liturgies at your local parish. Ask Jesus how He wants you to experience one of the extraordinary liturgies this week.  Read Matthew 26:6-13. Put yourself in the scene as Mary of Bethany and take time to imagine what it smells like, what it feels like, and how Jesus looks at you. What does Jesus want to reveal to you through this?  Read Matthew 26: 69-75. Imagine yourself as Peter and allow Jesus to see you even in your betrayals. What does Jesus want to say to you through this?   Quotes to Ponder: “He will provide the way and the means, such as you could never have imagined. Leave it all to Him, let go of yourself, lose yourself on the Cross, and you will find yourself entirely.” - St. Catherine of Siena   Scripture for Lectio Divina: “Hosanna to the Son of David, blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.” -Matthew 21:9   This episode is sponsored by Pilgrimage to Beauty.

In this ongoing series on building strong communities, we've already taken a look at the buildings and infrastructure that are more conducive to regenerative living and connected populations, but I want to return to a broader range of contexts and applications from around the world in this episode. Much like the first session from this series with Zach Weiss in which he profiled amazing examples from across the globe of communities who have come together to achieve incredible transformations of their ecosystems through landscape hydrology restoration, there are so many case studies to draw from.In my own travels I've witnessed inspiring groups of people who've overcome massive disadvantages such as lack of access to materials, funds, and antagonistic governments by banding together in their common vision of a better life and future. Some of the most notable projects I remember from an earlier stage in my work when I designed and built natural homes. There were technical skill training programs for single mothers and disadvantaged youths to give them higher wage job opportunities when I lived on Lake Atitlan in Guatemala. A few of the graduates of that program worked side by side with me on natural building projects and ran restaurants that I frequented. In that same area I worked with a clinic that also had a low cost home building program which worked with the residents around them to identify the most vulnerable people living there to build stable housing for.  In Senegal my Dutch clients worked with their local fishing community to create communal meeting spaces near the dilapidated fishing docks and establish a fresh food market run by women at the entrance of the town. Here in Spain I've visited a hotel and ranch that are working with local authorities to manage the forests in their area to reduce fire risk by harvesting discarded wood to turn into mushroom substrate, an enterprise that also works with at-risk youth from Barcelona to give vocational training and has also hired from that group. So many of my collaborators and clients from around the world have exemplified community collaboration and outreach and I've often wondered if there's a playbook that one could access to begin the nuanced process of bringing people together to work towards common goals.Luckily, the new book by Dr James Gruber called Building Community: Twelve Principles for a Healthy Future does exactly that, and I reached out to the author (who prefers to go by Jim) to get his take on the steps in this process.  The book profiles tons of exceptional examples of community projects from around the world. Some of which Jim has studied and others of which he was involved with directly and helped to facilitate in his role as a community consultant.  In this interview we talk about some of the important considerations when first approaching a community based project. Jim outlines many of the key steps that nearly all of the case studies he's seen have in common and are not to be skipped if long term success is what you're after, and he shares inspiring anecdotes from his facilitation role and observations of this process unfolding organically in different places.  He also gives insight into his toolbox of leadership strategies meant to guide newcomers of community development to help ensure that your project gets started on the right foot. Oh and a quick bonus for those of you who really want to dive deeper into community building, my good friends at New Society who published this book are offering a giveaway for listeners of this show. Just stick around till the end of this episode where I'll tell you just how you can get a free copy of Building Community for yourself. A little disclaimer, I had a short delay on my side of the connection in the beginning of this interview so you'll hear me clumsily interrupt Jim a few times at the start. Luckily it doesn't last for too long.
