This week, I am so grateful to welcome Kristen Ales, LPC & Kristin Mathes, LCSW of the Wilder Wellness Podcast. Our conversation delves into the power of connection through group experiential work - a topic that we've been reflecting a lot on lately. We also explore how we as practitioners learn to let go of old habits, particularly the tendency to push ourselves too hard in not only our own healing journeys but also in our professional lives.  The three of us also share our experiences facilitating retreats in nature and the power of connecting in groups. Kristin gives us a preview of her deep prep for launching EMERGE, a surf therapy retreat which involves a lot of somatic-based practices with Mother Ocean - happening in February 2025. And in a very vulnerable and honest share, I open up about my process around planning my upcoming retreat and what it's been like in getting the word out about it.

Sachi Singh is on a mission to build the future of sustainable healthcare and planetary care by helping women achieve hormonal balance, sustain all-day energy, and nurture their gut. She is doing this by empowering women to be nurtured by one of Mother Ocean's greatest gifts: seaweed.  One of my breast cancer root causes was low iodine and thyroid issues (learn all about it here), and discovering the naturally potent effects of seaweed was a tide-changer moment for me. It's also why I'm thrilled to dive into the breast cancer healing benefits of seaweed and The Daily Bite on this episode.  Even though I had thoroughly researched the topic, I furiously took notes the whole time. Therefore, I highly suggest listening with your notepad so you can join the women's health + seaweed movement with me!

The host and guest engage in a discussion about how humans often take from the ocean and nature without giving back, emphasizing the need for a shift in mindset towards greater giving. They highlight the ocean's continuous generosity, providing us with smiles, tears, oxygen, and food, among other things. The episode stresses the importance of humans reciprocating this generosity by appreciating and protecting the ocean and nature. Additionally, the episode touches on the concept of generosity within their surfing curriculum, where surfers are taught not only the skills and knowledge to surf safely but also the importance of giving back to the ocean and the community. Furthermore, the episode briefly mentions the significance of incorporating the principles and values of yoga into one's life beyond just physical exercise, taking the practice off the mat. Overall, the episode underscores the importance of giving and receiving in maintaining a harmonious relationship with the ocean and nature. In the episode, the hosts explore the deeper philosophy of yoga, going beyond its physical exercise aspect that is often marketed and sold in the Western world. They emphasize the importance of understanding the values and principles of the eight limbs of yoga and applying them to one's life beyond the mat. The hosts note that their approach to yoga differs from many resorts in Costa Rica, where yoga teachers are typically foreigners. However, they consider themselves fortunate as the wife, a Costa Rican native and yoga teacher, has traveled extensively to learn about yoga philosophy. This allows her to infuse a unique Costa Rican spirit and touch into the yoga practice, creating a deeper and more authentic experience. The hosts also highlight how yoga sessions foster a sense of connection and community among participants, enabling them to feel more connected to those around them. Overall, the hosts emphasize the importance of embracing the deeper philosophy of yoga and integrating it into one's life beyond the physical aspect. The episode emphasizes the transformative power of yoga in cultivating connections and a sense of community among individuals. The speaker notes that while traveling to a foreign country may not involve interacting with many people, practicing yoga together can create a strong bond and a feeling of connection. The speaker personally feels more connected to those they have practiced yoga with, attributing this sense of connection to the adrenaline rush and positive feelings experienced during and after a yoga session. Furthermore, the episode highlights the benefits of practicing yoga in a beautiful location like Costa Rica. The speaker describes it as an incredible way to experience life for a week or two. The serene environment of such a scenic place, combined with the practice of yoga, enhances the overall experience. The speaker also emphasizes that their wife, a yoga teacher, possesses a deep understanding of yoga philosophy and incorporates her Costa Rican spirit and touch into her teachings. This unique blend of yoga philosophy and the tropical setting of Costa Rica offers participants a more immersive and enriching experience.

In this week's episode, my dear mentor and friend Dr. Sherry Sami and I discuss the profound transformation we have both experienced by swimming in the ocean at sunrise (6 AM PST!) together for over a year.  Dr. Sami uses the experience of entering into an ever-changing, sometimes frightening, but always rewarding ocean as a metaphor for all of life including relationships and healing itself. We discuss how, by gradually releasing our attachment to external safety (in the form of what Dr. Sami refers to as ‘binkies,' such as wetsuits, buoys, and flippers) we can come into deeper relationship with ourselves and our fears and cultivate resilience and courage. Dr Sherry Sami is the founder of Happy Kids Dental Planet in Agoura Hills, CA. She practices neuro-development orthodontics and compassionate medicine. Her practice is not like any other clinic – Dr. Sami brings a spiritual approach in all that she does whether that's in her parenting, healing, and of course, swimming.  Dr. Sami is also the co-founder of the Love Button Global Movement, a nonprofit organization that promotes random acts of loving kindness, which you can check out in the links below. In this conversation, we cover: How our relationship with the ocean has expanded our view of the divine feminine to include more wildness and ferocity   The healing science of cold-water exposure and its roots in traditional cultures The willingness to show up and be intimate regardless of the fear How to distinguish the voice of intuition from the voice of fear Making the choice internally to be okay no matter what's happening Trusting something much bigger than our fears to heal intergenerational traumas   If you want to learn more about Dr. Sami, check out the links below. https://www.lovebutton.org/ https://happykidsdentalplanet.com/

On this week's episode of the show, Shaun and Court are diving into the waves of SEA WITCHERY! We're breaking down connecting with Mother Ocean by understanding the ebb and flow and of her tides and currants, her ever-shifting sands and the magickal treasures she leaves for us to find on her shores, like shells and stones.

This episode is a little love letter to wai in commemorating World Water Day 2022, this year's theme being “Making the Invisible, Visible” with a focus on groundwater to highlight the urgent need to protect it, which comes at a time of great relevance and reverence for us here in Hawaiʻi. Almost all of our liquid freshwater is groundwater, supporting drinking water supplies, sanitation systems, farming, industry and ecosystems. In some places, we simply do not know how much water is down there. But what we do know is that our groundwater and aquifers are essential to our lives and will continue to play a central role in our survival, adapting to the climate crisis and ongoing destabilization to come. But we created this episode to recharge our spirits by amplifying the beautiful connection that we have to wai and one another with mele (song), and mo'olelo (story). We did a little callout and have a diverse set of wahine sharing a piece of themselves with us. The order of the pieces will be: "Flow of Life" by Anna Chua who is the Red Hill organizer at the Sierra Club of Hawaiʻi and member of this podcast team with a soul awakening poem about water as life, warrior, and leader of resistance. Followed by Estrella Marin- Ethnic Studies Major at UH Manoa and scuba diver honoring her place of solace and solitude with “Mother Ocean”. Next is powerhouse lawyer, mother, and advocate Rachel James share an empowering story, “Wai-We Gotta Talk About It”, that confronts the years of disconnected thought forced upon wai and one another. And last but not least we finish with epic beats from ʻIhilani Lasconia- Native Hawaiian student, artist, and organizer with Hui Aloha ʻĀina and Af3irm Hawaiʻi gifting us with conscious hip hop, inspiring us to come together to liberate wai, ʻāina, and ourselves- titled “Ola i ka Wai.” Photo credit: Jong Marshes

[Warning] This episode contains explicit language and explicit themes. Listener discretion is advised. Lots of talk has been carried out through history about the importance of dreadnaughts and battleships leading up to and during the Great War. But what happen to these titans of metal? Specifically what happened to the ships of the German Empire, the side that 'lost?' Giant objects of metal aren't the easiest things to lift from the bottom of Mother Ocean - why don't you think we ever lifted the Titanic from her grave? It takes either a genius or a madman to do what Mr. Ernest Cox did after the dust had settled in Europe, but his story, and the graceful and poignant style of author Tony Booth make for a fabulous tale about sunken ships, human ingenuity, and the deeper side of history some try to ignore. Join Danny as he treads new water and discovers a critical analysis style he's missed and the riveting tale of a crass man his crew called 'father.' ~Follow all the Legionaries on Twitter~ Danny: twitter.com/legionsarchive The Tsar: twitter.com/TsarAlexander6 Allen: twitter.com/blkydpease Spangar: twitter.com/LSFspangar ~Credits~ Original Sound Cloud imagery taken from Amazon at: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0091WB98U/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 Original Cover Art owned by Tony Booth, and Pen & Sword Maritime, Original "The Broken Shelf" symbol created and published by Danny Archive.

Episode 121, Of Caterpillars and Butterflies, In the chrysalis as we transform from producing to creating This episode was inspired by the divine flow of this moment. As the guest originally scheduled cancelled, Christine moved with the flow and timing of honouring the guest’s sacred self care, and let go of even producing an episode this week, when a social media post from a beautiful being, Samantha Warren (her info and links in the show notes) caught her attention. Samantha shared her own revelations about timing and honouring the flow that is our own deep knowing. The kind of knowing that comes from the heart space and is not in sync with the pace of the old world. Christine emphasized, we are not production beings, we are creator beings. As we shift into that new way we need as Samantha said, more time in the chrysalis to be, “…here in this present moment while my transformation completes itself.” For Christine, the image of the caterpillar, cocoon, chrysalis and butterfly brought back the memory of a beautiful message she received in 2018 from Mother Ocean. That message was; Christine, first of all, the butterfly isn't better than the caterpillar. It's simply about timing and resonance. The caterpillar has a certain timing. She does all the things a caterpillar needs to do, with love, joy and reverence for all that is around her. Then there is a moment, when she begins to feel—first, in her body, then in her heart that it is uncomfortable to stay as she has been. It is even more uncomfortable when she literally splits herself inside out to become the cocoon. Once she is within the darkness of the cocoon she begins to receive the codes* she needs—through the sacred vessel of her own body. Waiting in the darkness, she doesn't know yet what she is becoming, but she knows it will be a new way of being. This is what is happening all around you now. You on Earth are in a metaphorical cocoon. Your bodies know it, and your soul knows it. You are opening, if you choose, to become something brand new. Someone that needs to express at a completely different frequency than you have before. Someone who needs to spread your wings in a new way in this world—with more of who you already are—being brought into expression. (*I found out later that these codes are actually called, "imaginal cells." These cells "resonate at a different frequency" than any of the original cells in the caterpillars body.) The invitation of this episode is to allow yourself to tune into how you are moving through these transitions in this now moment. Asking yourself, how can I deepen into amplifying my own sacred self care. https://awakenedwomanselfcare.com/podcasts/

This week, we launch my conversation with Natalie Small & Javier Larco straight from Peru. Peru has a rich culture in surfing and a connection to Mama Cocha and Madre Tierra as healing sources. The surf industry and surf tourism have introduced another side of surfing; a darker side is driven by consumerism and competition. Natalie and Javier are on a mission to realign the local surf culture with its roots. Their intention has deep roots in healing and connecting humanity by caring for all members of the community. About Natalie: Founder and executive director of Groundswell Community Project. Groundswell Community Project offers various surf therapy programs for self-identifying women overcoming various forms of trauma and its effects. They are a transformational community of surf sisters who provide intersectional, brave, and safe spaces for all self-identifying women to find their unique healing, community, and power in the waves of Mother Ocean.

Natalie Small is a LMFT and the founder and CEO of a unique surf therapy program called Groundswell Community Project. Groundswell Community Project is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that offers surf therapy for self-identifying women overcoming various forms of trauma and it’s effects. With their home roots in San Diego, California and branches that extend across the globe, they are a transformational community of surfsisters who provide intersectional, brave, and safe spaces for all self-identifying women to find their unique healing, community, and power in the waves of Mother Ocean. Groundswell’s surf therapy curriculum is grounded in positive psychology, somatic and arts-based therapy modalities and mindfulness practices. They are proud members of International Surf Therapy Org, supporting the advancement of surf therapy research and best practices. Their Surf Therapy sessions are unique in that they are facilitated and supervised by licensed trauma-informed therapists and surf coaches that hold intentional, safe and brave space to invite your body, mind, and heart to join you in the healing process and adventure of surfing. Their hope is that every surfsister who opts into the programs creates their own sustainable surf practice held and supported by a community of surfsisters. We recorded this episode at the end of May which is mental health awareness month. Natalie is currently in Peru due to the Covid virus quarantine and closed borders and was generous enough to drop in to a conversation with GMN to address new and old traumas we are experiencing during this global pandemic. Natalie also connected me to Leanne Tibiatowski so that she could join the conversation as well. Leanne attended the groundswell community project to help process and heal from complicated trauma. She found it to be so healing that she bravely decided to share her story to validate and provide light and hope to others. Leanne is proof of the strong ripple effect of this program and has developed support and advocacy groups of her own that also reach women all over the world. Leanne is a local San Diegan committed to creating healthy community experiences that ignite authentic communication, self-discovery, friendship, and professional connections. She is a facilitator, speaker, and writer. Leanne is known for her ability to create safe spaces for small and large groups where truth, transformation, and connection happen. Her knowledge base includes emotional literacy, communication, leadership, mindfulness, grief, trauma, bereavement, surf therapy, PTSD, community, conflict resolution, and personal development. she is The Founder of Together We Rise: https://together-we-rise.com and In 2 Clarity: https://in2clarity.com/ TOGETHER WE RISE IS… Leanne’s passion project… our solution to the pain and suffering we see in the world around us. We create safe spaces where women feel free to be themselves. We recorded this in May to highlight Mental Health Awareness Month. It is apparent now, more than ever that every month and every day should be about mental health awareness. Since recording this episode, the world’s waves have kept shifting and traumatic events have compiled as we have been slowly phasing out of quarantine. This pandemic has us perfectly positioned to sit with and process images, first person stories and social viruses. The tipping point for a perfect storm. The waves may be new but the undercurrent is always there. Again… new trauma, old trauma, intergenerational trauma and cumulative trauma.

How much capacity do you have to be honest about who you are today on your journey? Instead of covering up parts of yourself or polishing them to perfection or false prettiness — to move through your life honestly and to see others in their moment to moment existence, experience, and reactions as well? I've often struggled with sharing myself in an honest way. Sometimes that's my feelings or opinions, and sometimes that's just fear of certain parts of me being exposed. Listen in on how I feel called to be more directly and clearly myself and all the fears that come up with it. Do you have similar fears of being yourself and speaking your truth? Identity crisis and reinvention, self-honesty and being more fully self-expressed — this is what's happening with me now — and in my sharing to the outer world and relationships. Also in this episode: how losing hair related to my grandfather's loss of his parents to starvation, how it brought forward a greater sense of acceptance for my journey and who I am and my body, dependency, and attachment.   Links, Article, and Resources All Show Notes for This Episode

ABOUT THE AUTHOR - THERESA MATHEWS Theresa Mathews lives on an island in the Pacific Northwest where she works from her home office as a Corporate Recruiter. She loves to travel, spend time on or near the water, hike, enjoy music, feel the rumble of a Harley Davidson motorcycle, and cook for family and friends. She is working on her second book, a novel. ABOUT THE BOOK - "FISHING WITH HYENAS" When city girl Theresa falls madly in love with commercial fisherman Captain Bart, she trades her urban lifestyle for a grueling job as crew on his ninety-two-foot tuna boat in the middle of the North Pacific Ocean. During their three-month journey, she battles waves the size of four-story buildings in hurricane-force winds and almost loses her mind, but wins the respect of the Hyenas—an elite group of fishermen who become her extended family. When Captain Bart dies at sea of a massive heart attack, Theresa must survive her worst nightmare and nearly drowns in grief and financial devastation. FISHING WITH HYENAS is a true story about the power of love, the pull of Mother Ocean, and overcoming loss. https://www.facebook.com/FishingWithHyenas/ https://www.amazon.com/Fishing-Hyenas-Theresa-Mathews-ebook-dp-B07NKTKJYW/dp/B07NKTKJYW/ www.theresa-mathews.com

The ocean is one of the purest forms of magic I’ve ever encountered. Her depth. Her vastness. Her sparkling, glittery surface. Her playful wildlife & intelligent plant children. Her rhythmic waves, the never-ending heartbeat of Earth herself. She is soft. She is powerful. She is a home, a coach, an entity, a friend, a mother, a sister, and a goddess.She cannot be owned. She cannot be controlled. She is a being. One that must be treated with respect, love, kindness, and compassion.This week we spoke with Eve Isambourg, otherwise known as @theecoblogger, about her campaign I Speak Blue, Too. Eve has a bone-deep connection to Mother Ocean & created this movement to provide a community for all ocean lovers around the world to feel less alone in their fight to protect her.Eve spent her teenage years living on an island in the Indian Ocean with her family. This is where she developed her intimate relationship with the sea. A relationship she described as similar to that of a mother and child:“The comparison could be the same [as that between] parents and their children. They love their children, so they care about their children and want to protect their children… When you love something, then you care, and want to protect that thing.”She’s a worldwide wave-chaser, an entrepreneur, an ocean protector, a graceful writer, a yoga instructor, a student of the universe. This is a podcast episode you won’t want to miss. Her spark is absolutely contagious. Thank you, Eve, for being on the show, we’re like little kids jumping up and down with too much excitement in our little bodies waiting to see what you’ll do next to help heal the planet.Pssst. Don’t forget to check out her socials to stay up to date with her current & upcoming projects, all of which are full of love & light:Website: Share with Eve IsambourgInstagram: @theecoblogger, @ispeakbluetooHashtags: #ispeakbluetooFacebook: Eve Isambourg, I Speak Blue, TooYouTube Channel See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Perhaps we should call it Watershed Earth. We're made of water, totally dependent on it, yet water in turn depends on us to play our part in a good way. Mother Ocean is the primary regulator of Watershed Earth. But the marine news is heartbreaking. Ocean defenders Michael Stocker, Anne Rowley and David Helvarg illuminate both the peril of noise and plastics pollution and the promise they see In the Seaweed Rebelli on to save Mother Ocean, and ourselves.
