Podcasts about Sacred Union

This week's show is with Michael Perez. Michael didn't just learn the standard toolkits – he hit their limits early on (back in the 90s!) and dedicated years to figuring out *what really works* at the deepest levels of the human mind, modeling the true masters like Erickson beyond the textbook explanations. When the neuroscience revolution hit, he wasn't just an observer; he was actively integrating groundbreaking discoveries about the brain, the unconscious, and trance states into a *unified field theory* of change while mainstream psychology was still catching up. His exploration wasn't just academic; studies in Aikido, Zen, anthropology, and primatology revealed the power of primal states modern life forces us to forget. Then, facing a potentially career-ending physical crisis that left him crippled and in constant pain, he didn't just cope – he *innovated*. Using his unique synthesis of neuroscience and hypnosis, he developed new techniques *on himself* to overcome the pain and retrain his body, proving the power of the mind-body connection in the most demanding way possible. This crucible forged the core of the "Neuron Code." Decades of international training, coaching C-suite leaders, pioneering remote work, and deep cultural immersion haven't just given him experience; they've given him unparalleled insight into *how humans actually operate* beneath the surface. In this conversation, Lian is joined by Michael to explore the deeper roots of human communication… not just as a tool of language, but as a primal, somatic inheritance. Together, they trace the evolution of how we've spoken, felt, and connected through time - from the open plains of early endurance hunting to the quiet, intuitive knowing between two bodies in a room. Michael shares captivating insights into our pre-linguistic ways of relating, where emotional resonance, body awareness, and subtle mirroring were our first languages. Lian reflects on childhood memories of communicating wordlessly with other children, inviting listeners to remember a time when connection didn't rely on words, but on presence, attunement, and instinct. Together, they explore why this deeply embodied intelligence still lives within us… and why we so often forget to listen to it. As the episode unfolds, they reflect on how language, while powerful, can become a distraction from what's most true. Listeners are guided through the journey of learning to feel again: how to notice what your body knows, how to ‘reproduce someone else's inner world' within yourself, and how to return to the state of flow that lives beneath overthinking. The conversation asks the deeper question: what might happen if we let ourselves communicate as humans… not just as heads on sticks? We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: How emotional intelligence and body awareness are the original languages of human connection, long before words came online Why your body often “knows” the truth before your mind can explain it, and how to trust that knowing in conversation The journey from conscious effort to unconscious competence… and why getting worse at communication might be the sign you're about to get much better Resources and stuff spoken about: Michael's Website Join UNIO, the Academy of Sacred Union.

This week's show is with Dr. Daniel M. Ingram, MD MSPH, a retired emergency medicine physician who works to improve the global relationship of science, clinical practice, mental health and the public to the phenomena that might be referred to as spiritual, meditative, energetic, mystical, psychedelic, magical, and related phenomena. To those ends, he is currently the founder, philanthropic supporter, and volunteer CEO and Board Chair of the Emergence Benefactors registered charity, and chief organizer and co-founder of the global Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium. He is currently involved in neurophenomenological research of advanced meditative states with colleagues at Harvard and has been a participant in numerous fMRI and EEG studies of advanced meditators, including at Harvard, Yale, U Mass, and Vanderbilt. He has published scientific articles in Pediatrics, Child Abuse and Neglect, and the Journal of Medical Toxicology. He is the author of Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha, co-author of The Fire Kasina, and co-founder of the Dharma Overground. His work has been featured in The New York Times, Esquire, Vice, Wired, BBC Radio 4, Evolving Dharma, American Dharma: Buddhism Beyond Modernity, Dan Harris' 10% Happier Podcast, Slate Star Codex Blog, Buddha at the Gas Pump, Meaning of Life TV, Deconstructing Yourself, Spiritual Explained website, Guru Viking, Buddhist Geeks, Cosmic Tortoise, Startup Geometry, Imperfect Buddha Podcast, and many others. In this conversation, Lian and Daniel explore what awakening really means, weaving between the modern non-duality and Neo-Vedanta ideas such as "you're already awake" and the more structured progressive paths, filled with stages, techniques, and deepening insights. They gently reveal the hidden challenges and the powerful gifts each path offers, opening up a conversation that's both timeless and deeply relevant. Lian shares how awakening can happen spontaneously, profoundly reshaping lives, while Daniel draws from his extensive experience in various spiritual communities and traditions. Together, they explore the subtle nuances of spiritual growth, shadow integration, and the vital practice of staying present to this very moment. Their personal experiences effortlessly blend with mythic and traditional wisdom, highlighting the beautiful paradox of human growth. They also discuss practical tools like the five Buddha families, attachment styles, and why working with our shadows is essential. Daniel stresses how important personalised practice and honest community feedback are on this journey. Their conversation gently challenges the seductive myth of spiritual perfectionism, offering instead a grounded, compassionate invitation towards continual transformation and deeper self-awareness. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What You'll Learn From This Episode: How clearly seeing the strengths and limits of modern non-dual teachings and progressive spiritual approaches helps you create a spiritual practice that's deeply meaningful, nourishing, and aligned with who you really are. Why recognising and embracing your shadows—those hidden emotional patterns and parts of yourself—is essential for reclaiming your wholeness, bringing more emotional freedom and a deeper sense of authenticity. How using personality frameworks like the five Buddha families and attachment styles can help you personalise your spiritual journey in a way that genuinely honours your unique nature.

This episode is about understanding the duality within each of us, both man and woman.We have both human animal which refers to our primal instincts and human soul which refers to our connection to something higher, something greater than ourselves and our survival instincts.Listen in to learn about what each of these parts want, how they behave, what they can teach us about sexuality and partnership, and how relationships between men and women can be better understood through this lens. I also talk about the crisis we have in regard to the term, provision and I expand on female sexuality and why there's so much confusion today.

This week's show is with Mark Walsh. Mark has spent the last 20 years helping people get out of their heads and into their bodies—sometimes gracefully, sometimes not. He's the author of The Body in Coaching and Training and Embodied Meditation, and hosts The Embodiment Podcast, which has over 3 million downloads. He also ran The Embodiment Conference, ambitiously featuring 1,000 teachers and half a million attendees, which happened to be the world's largest Zoom event. As the founder of Embodiment Unlimited, Mark has trained over 2,000 embodiment coaches across 40+ countries (some of which still let him back in). His latest project, Feral Philosophy, is a deeper, more unfiltered look at embodiment, free from the usual wellness clichés. His work has taken him from an alcoholic to a psychology graduate; from war zones to boardrooms; from teaching yogis and coaches to working with police and military personnel. He also co-founded Sane Ukraine, now run by Ukrainian professionals to provide trauma and embodiment training for therapists, trainers, and coaches. With a background in psychology, aikido (black belt), and various movement practices—including yoga, meditation, dance, bodywork, and improv comedy—Mark blends deep expertise with a refreshingly direct, down-to-earth style. He's worked with companies like Google, Unilever, and Shell, though he's much happier when he's not wearing a suit. He swears more than most coaches, dances worse than he thinks, and isn't a fan of fluffy self-help talk—but he is passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves in a real, practical way. In this potent and timely conversation, Lian journeys with Mark into the heart of the crisis facing young men today. Together, they explore the four profound disconnections at the root of modern suffering - body, social, ecological, and spiritual - and how restoring these essential connections can guide young men from isolation to purposeful living. Reflecting on Mark's own transformative journey from troubled youth to mentor, they discuss the critical role of strength and embodiment in building resilience, character, and spiritual depth. Mark shares how genuine community and meaningful rites of passage can fill the void left by our culture's forgotten initiations, nurturing the very soul of young men. Drawing from mythological truths, ancient principles, and real-life experiences, Lian and Mark highlight how reconnecting with nature and spirit can profoundly heal both individual lives and wider cultural decay. They illuminate practical pathways for guiding young men back to themselves, toward greater meaning, joy, and wholeness. Ultimately this conversion shines a light on how we might help young men return to themselves, reclaim their inherent value beyond societal expectations in our fractured modern world. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: Physical strength is not merely a superficial pursuit; it is a foundational virtue that creates resilience, self-awareness, and deeper character in young men, providing a doorway to emotional and spiritual growth. In a culture that has largely lost authentic initiation rituals, young men face isolation and confusion - yet re-establishing community, connection to nature, and meaningful mentorship can profoundly alter their trajectory. The modern meaning crisis arises from deep disconnection - body, social, ecological, and spiritual. To heal this, each of us must consciously reconnect, embracing practices that nurture the soul, restoring a sense of genuine meaning and purpose.

This is not a concept. This is an activation. We're going beyond the usual talk of Feminine and Masculine energies. Beyond the surface-level lip service to Sacred Union. This is the moment we do the work — activating the living wisdom of all three paths within you.

This week's show is a special one in which Be Mythical Soul Guide Sara J. Sanderson interviewed Lian about all things living a sacred life, inspired by our current UNIO quest: The Sacred Life Quest. In this thought-provoking episode, Lian and Sara explore the profound connection between magic and practicality, diving into how we can bring sacredness to the most mundane aspects of our daily lives. Sara's questions guide Lian into reflections about how we often compartmentalise our lives, seeking life hacks for efficiency and solving problems, yet forgetting the inherent magic that resides in those very moments. They discuss how the act of seeking ‘quick fixes' might sometimes lead us away from the soul-nourishing practices that offer deeper, more lasting fulfillment. Lian and Sara touch on the essential concept of sovereignty - how we can embrace the power of choice in the midst of daily life and take responsibility for our projections, which shape how we perceive our reality. They also explore how consciously creating rituals can be a bridge between the practical and the mystical, offering tools to navigate the balance between work, family, self-care, and spiritual growth. Ultimately, the episode serves as a reminder that life doesn't have to be a dichotomy of the practical and the magical - it can be a union. Lian and Sara invite listeners to reflect on how they might approach their own lives with more intention, sovereignty, and reverence, transforming everyday actions into sacred rituals that honour both the spiritual and practical aspects of existence. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: The search for quick solutions can sometimes distance us from what truly nourishes our soul. This conversation invites us to question whether the practical hacks we rely on are truly fulfilling and soul-aligned or merely temporary fixes. We can infuse even the most mundane tasks with magic and intention, turning them into meaningful rituals that connect us with something larger than ourselves. Recognising and taking responsibility for our projections is essential for reclaiming our sovereignty, ultimately leading us to a life that feels more authentic, nourishing, and aligned with our deeper purpose.

This week's show is with Arthur Haines. Arthur is a Maine hunting, fishing, and recreation guide, forager, ancestral skills mentor, author, public speaker, and botanical researcher.  He grew up in the western mountains of Maine, a rural area that was home to swift streams known for their trout fishing. He spent most of his childhood in the Sandy River Valley hiking, tracking, and foraging. Arthur now runs the Delta Institute of Natural History in Canton, Maine, where he teaches human ecology, focusing on the values of foraging, wildcrafting medicine, and primitive living skills.  He continues to spend a great deal of his free time practicing his skills as a modern hunter-gatherer.   In 2017, he authored “A New Path”, a comprehensive work on nature connection and rewilding, detailing how to incorporate ancestral practices into modern living.  As a research botanist for the Native Plant Trust, he completed an inclusive flora of the New England region titled “Flora Novae Angliae” and has authored over twenty publications in peer-reviewed journals and books, including naming species of plants new to science.  His series of YouTube videos has inspired thousands of people interested in foraging wild edible and medicinal plants. In this show, Lian and Arthur explore the foundational principles of masculinity - strength, bravery, mastery, and honour - not as outdated relics, but as essential qualities for men navigating modern life. Arthur brings a rare, embodied perspective to this discussion, having lived as a hunter, forager, and practitioner of ancestral skills. His insights are not theoretical - they are drawn from direct experience of what it means to provide, protect, and live in alignment with primal masculine virtues. This isn't just about men. If a woman desires a man who embodies these virtues, her role in allowing and encouraging them is crucial. Arthur and Lian discuss how trust, receptivity, and honouring polarity create space for masculinity to thrive, while competition and control can diminish it. They explore the challenges modern culture presents and the ways women can either stifle or inspire the best in men. Together, they unpack why masculinity and femininity are complementary forces, not opposing ones. From the importance of honour to the role of provision and protection, this episode offers a rich exploration of how men and women can create stronger, more aligned relationships, families and communities. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: Masculine virtues are amoral - honour defines their application. Strength, bravery, mastery, and honour are essential masculine traits, but without an honour code, they can be misused. True masculinity is about how these virtues are wielded for the good of family, community, and the land. Women shape the masculine through trust and receptivity. If a woman wants a man who embodies these virtues, she must create space for them. Trust is essential - without it, masculinity cannot emerge. Relinquishing unnecessary control allows men to provide, protect, and lead, while women refine and steer the vision. The primal masculine thrives in purpose and action. Arthur's experience as a hunter and provider highlights how men are wired for challenge, risk, and responsibility. These qualities are not obsolete but deeply ingrained, and when honoured, they allow men to show up fully in relationships, family, and community.

This week's show is with Richard Nikoley. Richard was born and raised in Reno, Nevada, the son of a German immigrant. He attended a private, church-run high school before moving on to Tennessee Temple University in Chattanooga for his first year of college. He later transferred to Oregon State University, where he graduated in 1984 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, along with minors in mathematics/computer science and naval science. During his time at OSU, he was a member of the NROTC unit and was commissioned as a Surface Warfare Officer (SWO) in the U.S. Navy upon graduation. Richard's naval career began with eight months of training in San Diego, California, followed by a deployment to Yokosuka, Japan. There, he served on the USS REEVES (CG-24) from 1984 to 1987 in various roles, including Assistant Missiles Officer, First Lieutenant, and Electrical Officer. He then joined the U.S. SEVENTH FLEET aboard the USS BLUE RIDGE (LCC-19) from 1988 to 1989, managing a substantial fuel budget as Assistant Fleet Scheduling Officer and Assistant Logistics Officer. After five years in Japan, Richard moved to Monterey, California, to study French at the Defense Language Institute. This led to an exchange officer position with the French Navy from 1989 to 1992, where he served as Navigator on the FNS COLBERT (C 611) and FNS DUQUESNE (D 603). He left the Navy in 1992 and returned to the San Francisco Bay Area. In 1993, Richard founded a company that grew significantly over a 20-year period. Although he was married for much of that time, since 2019, he and his former spouse have maintained a friendly relationship while pursuing separate lifestyles. Since January 2020, Richard has been living in Thailand as an unintended expat. Initially planning to be digital and nomadic, he decided to settle more permanently due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During this time, he built a house in a rural province and wrote extensively about COVID-19, masks, lockdowns, and global drug trials - earning recognition for his insights. Currently, Richard manages multiple income streams while engaging in various creative pursuits. He writes, makes videos, takes long walks, swims and snorkels in the tropical ocean, rides a motorcycle without a helmet, and enjoys cooking and eating exquisite food. A self-proclaimed gym junkie and honorary "Bro," Richard is known for his clever and well-crafted writing. In this show, Richard and Lian explore the intersections of artificial intelligence, truth, and human evolution. They discuss Julian Jaynes' theory of the bicameral mind, the rapid development of AI, and the deeper question of what it means to be conscious. Richard shares how his skepticism about AI turned into curiosity. He describes AI as a logic machine - highly intelligent but without awareness or intrinsic values. They examine whether AI's ability to process vast amounts of information makes it an unlikely yet powerful force for truth. Together, they reflect on AI's role in democratising knowledge and the philosophical implications of intelligence without consciousness. Could AI push humanity toward greater awareness, or does it merely highlight our limitations? As technology continues to evolve, this episode challenges listeners to consider: what does it mean to be truly intelligent, and what does it take to be conscious? We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: AI operates as a logic machine, not a conscious entity. While AI can simulate human intelligence, it lacks self-awareness, emotions, and personal values. However, its ability to analyze information might make it one of the most effective truth-seeking tools we've ever created. Intelligence and consciousness do not always go hand in hand. Drawing from Julian Jaynes' theory, Richard and Lian discuss how past civilisations perhaps functioned without the kind of self-awareness we assume is universal. AI, like early humans, can operate with intelligence but without a conscious inner world. AI could redefine human potential rather than replace it. As AI automates tasks and challenges traditional roles, it may not eliminate jobs so much as shift human focus toward creativity, philosophy, and problem-solving. Rather than competing with AI, humans may need to expand their own awareness.

This week's show is with Matthew C. Halteman. Matthew is professor of philosophy at Calvin University (MI, USA) and the Oxford Centre for Animals Ethics (UK). He is the author of Hungry Beautiful Animals: The Joyful Case for Going Vegan and co-editor of Philosophy Comes to Dinner: Arguments about the Ethics of Eating. Matthew's work is driven by deep commitments to human flourishing, animal freedom, food systems transformation, and communal cooperation to realise as much truth, beauty, and goodness as we collectively can. He loves Arsenal Football Club, the television show Twin Peaks, and vegan desserts (especially tiramisu!). In this rich and thought-provoking conversation, Lian and Matt explore the profound intersections between dietary choices, ethics, and the search for a more liberated way of living. Matt shares how his agricultural roots once framed his understanding of food, only for a childhood visit to a slaughterhouse to plant a seed of dissonance that would take decades to fully bloom. Through philosophy, emotional connection, and a series of serendipitous interventions, he found himself drawn to a new way of being - one that prioritises creaturely flourishing over rigid ideology. The conversation weaves through the personal and the mythical, touching on the tensions between authenticity and openness, the allure of fundamentalism, and the freedom found in conscious food choices. Lian also reflects on her own lifelong path as a vegan, seeing it through a fresh lens of self-inquiry and deeper meaning. This is not just a discussion about diet; it's an invitation to rethink our most ordinary, intimate rituals - what we eat, why we eat it, and how that shapes the world we create. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: Food is more than sustenance—it is ritual, identity, and philosophy. Whether we realise it or not, our dietary choices are woven into our values, relationships, and personal mythologies. Flourishing matters more than dogma. Instead of rigid rules, Matt invites us to see going vegan not as an ‘ism' but as an aspiration—one that prioritises the joy and freedom of all living beings rather than simply avoiding harm. The mythical exists in the mundane. By examining something as fundamental as food, we open doors to greater self-awareness, transformation, and connection to the sacred in everyday life.

In this deeply reflective solo episode, Katerina Gray unpacks an important dynamic in the spiritual awakening journey—the liberation of both the feminine and the masculine within relationships. She explores the energetic patterns playing out in spiritual partnerships, particularly when the feminine awakens first and begins to explore deeper layers of self-discovery, healing, and embodiment. While she expands, her masculine counterpart often remains bound to the weight of responsibility and the old structures of society—a role that has been ingrained for generations. But true freedom cannot exist for one partner without the liberation of both. Katerina shares a powerful call to awareness, asking: How can we, as women, hold the space for our partners to free themselves? What must we let go of to allow that freedom to emerge? This episode offers a compassionate, thought-provoking look at sacred partnerships, sacred union, and the necessity of balance between the feminine and masculine in our personal relationships and the greater collective. What is Discussed: The awakening of the feminine and how it shifts the relationship dynamic The role of the masculine and the weight of societal expectations Why true feminine liberation cannot exist without masculine freedom How unconscious expectations keep men tethered to old roles The symbolism of Atlas holding the world—and how we are called to release that burden How we unconsciously imprison our partners in outdated structures What must die within us for us to free them—and, in turn, ourselves The importance of voicing our gratitude and consciously releasing old paradigms Sacred union as a full energetic circuit of reciprocity and love The broader implications: how this dynamic plays out on the world stage Connect & Support the Podcast: If you loved this episode, please rate, review, and subscribe!

This week's show is with Mike Bais. Mike is a physiotherapist, counselor, university lecturer and author, also having had his own practice for many years. He is a trained priest in the esoteric christian tradition, which led him to follow the mystical side of this lineage called the A.S.A. (Apostolic Succession of Arimathea). He believes that the Teachings of Christ are universal and should not be limited to a religious structure. His esoteric training comes from the western mystery tradition and the Toledano Kabbalah. Living in the Netherlands (Utrecht) he extensively worked with teachers and groups in the UK.  After some decades of study and practice in the western esoteric tradition, the inner work came together in these three streams or disciplines that make up the Circle of Avalon. Mike sees it as his life's work to teach these traditions to whomever wishes to receive them. He is a mystic and teacher by nature and through his groups, individual sessions, workshops and writing, transmits them in the most pure and true way he knows. Mike is the author of 3 books: Paths on the Tree of Wisdom – A course in 21st Century Kabbalah, A Kabbalistic view on science: Book 1 and A Kabbalistic view on science: Book 2. In this show, Mike and Lian dive into the rich and resonant realms of fate, destiny, and the stories that shape our lives. Together, they unpack the profound distinctions between fate—the patterns of biology, psychology, and ancestry—and destiny, the call to align with a purpose beyond oneself. Mike illuminates how fate begins in the inherited aspects of our DNA, family culture, and societal conditioning, often creating a sense of limitation that prompts us to seek deeper meaning. Lian reflects on how trauma and challenge, while seemingly random, can act as gateways to growth and understanding, inviting us to uncover the deeper purpose behind them. They explore the Kabbalistic Tree of Life as a powerful map for navigating fate and destiny, emphasising the journey from ego-driven patterns to the heart's wisdom at Tiferet, where self-awareness blooms into authenticity. Finally, they bring the myth of Chiron, the wounded healer, into focus, using his story to illuminate the transformative power of embracing wounds as steps toward grace and union. Together, they weave a soulful conversation, inviting listeners to see their challenges as part of a greater unfolding and to explore the myths that resonate deeply with their own lives. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: Fate is the foundation of our inherited patterns—physical, psychological, and cultural—that often seem like limitations but hold the seeds of self-awareness and transformation. Individual fate begins when we start to wake up to our own deeper truth. It's the call to authenticity, the moment we realise we are more than the roles we've been shaped into by family and society. This awakening often comes through crisis, inner conflict, or a deep yearning for something more. Destiny is the call to transcend ego and our individual self and align with something greater. It emerges when we allow grace and service to guide us. The myths and archetypes that call to us hold deep personal meaning, acting as mirrors and guides to our own path of fate and destiny.

Together, they reflect on the continuous process of learning and growth that lucid dreaming inspires, offering listeners insights into how dreams can be a powerful mirror of consciousness and a tool for transformation. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: Lucid dreaming as a mirror of the inner self: Dreams are more than unconscious wanderings; they are a canvas reflecting our deepest thoughts, emotions, and desires. Within lucid dreams, we have the power to consciously interact with this reflection, uncovering profound insights. Practical transformations through dreaming: From healing phobias to navigating personal challenges, lucid dreaming is a practice that bridges the gap between the subconscious and the waking world, encouraging growth, healing, and mindfulness. Meditation and spiritual growth within dreams: Lucid dreams offer a unique platform to deepen meditation practices, access states of transcendence, and even connect with a sense of universal awareness, enriching both dream and waking life.

This week's show is with Arthur Haines. Arthur is a Maine hunting, fishing, and recreation guide, forager, ancestral skills mentor, author, public speaker, and botanical researcher.  He grew up in the western mountains of Maine, a rural area that was home to swift streams known for their trout fishing. He spent most of his childhood in the Sandy River Valley hiking, tracking, and foraging. Arthur now runs the Delta Institute of Natural History in Canton, Maine, where he teaches human ecology, focusing on the values of foraging, wildcrafting medicine, and primitive living skills.  He continues to spend a great deal of his free time practicing his skills as a modern hunter-gatherer. In 2017, he authored “A New Path”, a comprehensive work on nature connection and rewilding, detailing how to incorporate ancestral practices into modern living.  As a research botanist for the Native Plant Trust, he completed an inclusive flora of the New England region titled “Flora Novae Angliae” and has authored over twenty publications in peer-reviewed journals and books, including naming species of plants new to science.  His series of YouTube videos has inspired thousands of people interested in foraging wild edible and medicinal plants. In this show, Arthur and Lian explore the profound and often misunderstood concepts of masculinity. Together, they delve into the divine masculine as an archetype, contrasting it with the modern discourse around toxic masculinity and what these perspectives mean for identity and society. Arthur shares his motivations for championing conversations about masculinity, discussing the importance of role models, honour, and self-preservation in embodying true masculine energy. He offers insights into the warrior archetype and its relevance in today's world, where resilience and protection are often dismissed but perhaps are more crucial than ever. They reflect on cultural narratives and the historical significance of egalitarian societies, shedding light on how traditional gender roles have evolved and the ways they continue to shape us. Through this exchange, Lian and Arthur explore how embracing divine masculinity can create balance and transformation in a changing world. Together, they challenge reductive ideas of masculinity, highlighting the need for mastery, responsibility, and open dialogue to honour the archetypes and roles we embody as humans. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: The divine masculine is an essential archetype, embodying honour, protection, and resilience. Celebrating it requires moving beyond oversimplified notions of toxic masculinity to understand its role in community and identity. Egalitarian societies historically celebrated gender differences, recognising the unique contributions of both men and women. Revisiting these perspectives can help modern society reframe the evolving dynamics of gender roles to meet the needs of the world today. The warrior archetype remains vital in today's world, symbolising preparation, mastery, honour, and collective responsibility. In embracing this role, men can navigate crises with honour, ensuring the protection and provision essential for communities to thrive.

This week's show is with Aidan Wachter, an animist, author, and healer. Aidan has been involved in practical magic since the 1980s.  He is an animist and is deeply concerned with the effects of modern Western life-ways on the human animal, on both physical and spiritual levels.  Aidan views a living magical practice as a path to heal many of the problems we face today and a way of being that is intrinsic to the creatures we are. He is the author of Six Ways: Approaches & Entries to Practical Magic and Weaving Fate: Hypersigils, Changing the Past & Telling True Lies, and Changeling: A Book Of Qualities. In this episode, Lian and Aidan dive deep into the essence of teaching and learning, weaving together themes of projections, archetypes, and the transformative power of experiential education. They explore how modern conditioning distances us from innate learning processes and highlight the profound connection between learning and remembrance. Lian and Aidan challenge conventional views of teaching, advocating for an approach that honours individual journeys and the unique keys each of us carries to unlock deeper truths. Ultimately, this episode invites listeners to remember their inherent knowledge, embrace the beauty of being both teacher and student, and rediscover their place in a conscious, living world. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: Teaching as a Vessel of Discovery Teaching is not about having all the answers; it is about creating a space for others to access their own wisdom. Through teaching, we often uncover truths about ourselves, fostering a mutual journey of growth and understanding. Learning as Remembrance Rather than acquiring new information, true learning is a process of remembering what is already within us. This remembrance connects us to ancestral knowledge, past lives, and the communal nature of existence, offering a profound sense of interconnectedness. Rewilding Education Experiential learning rekindles our natural ability to trust our own experiences, breaking free from the conditioning of traditional education. By rewilding our approach to knowledge, we reconnect with animism and the wisdom of a conscious, interconnected universe.

In this show, Lian is joined again by memory expert Anthony Metivier to explore the transformative art of memory techniques, with a focus on the ancient yet powerful memory palace method. Anthony is the founder of the Magnetic Memory Method, a systematic, 21st Century approach to memorising foreign language vocabulary, names, music, poetry and much more in ways that are easy, elegant, effective and fun. Lian and Anthony discuss the science and soul of memorisation, reflecting on the way our brains create associations and store information. Together, they examine the challenges of modern learning and the unique tools available to overcome them. Anthony shares practical guidance on crafting memory palaces, reveals the importance of interleaving topics for richer understanding, and delves into advanced techniques like the shadow method. The conversation also sheds light on misconceptions about aphantasia, celebrates the magic of visualisation, and highlights how intentional practice can unlock the profound connection between memory and consciousness. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: Memory Palaces as a Tool for Transformation: By associating information with familiar spaces, the memory palace method not only enhances recall but also creates a dynamic and engaging way to learn. The process highlights the interplay between visualisation, intention, and the richness of mental imagery. The Power of Context and Interleaving: Context-dependent memory strengthens retention, and interleaving different topics improves understanding. Experimenting with these techniques can make learning more efficient and enjoyable, particularly when paired with the trust that comes from allowing new connections to emerge naturally. Personal Growth through Memory Work: Beyond practical applications, memory techniques offer a path to transformation. From childhood associations to advanced practices like the shadow technique, the process of mastering memory is as much about personal evolution as it is about information retention.

We are approaching winter solstice and the magical time of alchemical union of the Earth and the Sun. In this episode, I share some of the ancestral traditions around the world (just a small fraction!) and place them in a larger context of our body as a holographic landscape. What this means is that our bodies, too, respond to the solstice alchemy. In the Northern hemisphere, the production of melatonin, the sleep hormone, is at its strongest. We are called to gestate, to wait, to slow down, to prepare for the return of the active and outward yang. The celebrations of our ancestors were, at their core, intended to honor this endocrine and energetic magic, while plugging us into the larger context of cosmic energies. We celebrate the cosmic play of light and darkness in a tangible, physical way. I will talk about Saturn, Sun, Earth, Christmas, the Sacred Union, vision boarding, feminine energetics, and the ways in which we can attune to the magic of solstice.

Lee Warren shares her experience of living in an intentional community and how it opened the door to exploring tantra and the sacredness of death. Alongside co-host Sue Marriott, they explore tantra as a way to connect with the divine within ourselves and others, using tools like breath, sound, and movement to navigate the energy in our bodies. They also discuss death as a sacred process and the importance of preparing for it—both practically and spiritually. Learn how tantra and death preparation share a common goal: helping us embrace the impermanence of life and find joy in the present moment.

This week's show is with Jonathan Horwitz. Jonathan was born in the USA and has lived in Scandinavia for over half his life. He has been actively working with shamanism since 1972, was a teacher and field researcher at the Foundation for Shamanic Studies for 10 years and has a master's degree in anthropology. In 1986, Jonathan co-founded the Scandinavian Center for Shamanic Studies and has been teaching internationally ever since, in Russia, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Belgium, Sweden and the UK. He has been a frequent contributor to Sacred Hoop magazine and served for some years as European Editor for Journal of Shamanic Practice. He lives with his partner Zara in the woods of southern Sweden at Åsbacka, their home and retreat centre. Jonathan is known for his grounded, present and warm teaching style. He sees shamanism as a spiritual path and his main focus is shamanic healing, spiritual ecology and shamanic community work. As a teacher, he feels his role is to help people find the road to the Spirit world, encourage them to accept the power offered, and learn how to bring power back to the physical world.Shamanism is about life. Life is change. Shamanism is change with power.  In this show, Jonathan and Lian explore the intricate and soulful journey of soul loss, trauma, healing, and life afterwards, unpacking the profound and universal experience of soul loss, revealing how it arises as a survival response to trauma and the ways it shapes our behaviours, emotions, and sense of self. They delve into the connection between addiction and soul disconnection, offering compassionate insights into recognising maladaptive patterns as signals of deeper wounds and opportunities for growth. Together, Lian and Jonathan reflect on the transformative power of the dark night of the soul, the process of retrieval and integration, and the importance of self-compassion in reclaiming a wholeness that honours our truest essence. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: Soul Loss as Survival: Soul loss often begins as a survival mechanism in response to trauma, creating a temporary sanctuary for the self. Recognising this mechanism offers a path to self-compassion and healing. Addiction and Disconnection: Many addictions stem from an underlying disconnection of the soul. By addressing the root cause, individuals can begin to reconnect with their lost parts and move towards lasting recovery. Integration and Transformation: The return of lost soul parts is only the beginning—true healing requires a nurturing environment and self-compassion to integrate the returned part, paving the way for profound personal growth.

This week's show is with Rod Boothroyd. Rod brings more than two decades' experience of working with men and women to his current work as a Healing The Shadow practitioner. Rod's career in the area of human potential started with his training in Transactional Analysis psychotherapy at the Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy in 1999. Since then he has taken further training in Integrative Psychotherapy, worked with the ManKind Project UK and Ireland (where he was a Primary Integration Training leader), and researched in depth the art of working with, and reintegrating, the human shadow. He is now working as a one-to-one coach and therapist, and is also a supervisor with Healing The Shadow, an organisation devoted to emotional healing and the development of human potential. In this episode, Lian and Rod delve into the concept of the 'sovereign within' and its transformative implications for leadership, personal growth, and soul awakening. They explore the essence of heart-centred leadership - including the importance of compassion and self-love, they share insights into the archetypes of inflated and deflated sovereigns - highlighting their manifestations in everyday life and the deeper insecurities they conceal, reflect on the pivotal role of purpose in anchoring a strong sense of self, and talk about the dynamics of childhood experiences and how these early influences sculpt our ability to and our path of embodying sovereignty. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: Heart-centred leadership begins with awareness and self-compassion - We need to see and nurture the inner child and the growing sovereign within. Recognising shadow archetypes deepens self-awareness - Inflated sovereigns, driven by insecurities, and deflated sovereigns, hindered by self-worth struggles, offer powerful insights into our behaviours and relationships. Purpose and self-love are the cornerstones of sovereignty - by embracing self-acceptance and aligning with purpose, we create a foundation for self-discovery and leadership that can transform not only our own lives but those around us.

This week's show is with Richard Nikoley. Richard was born and raised in Reno, Nevada, the son of a German immigrant. He attended a private, church-run high school before moving on to Tennessee Temple University in Chattanooga for his first year of college. He later transferred to Oregon State University, where he graduated in 1984 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, along with minors in mathematics/computer science and naval science. During his time at OSU, he was a member of the NROTC unit and was commissioned as a Surface Warfare Officer (SWO) in the U.S. Navy upon graduation. Richard's naval career began with eight months of training in San Diego, California, followed by a deployment to Yokosuka, Japan. There, he served on the USS REEVES (CG-24) from 1984 to 1987 in various roles, including Assistant Missiles Officer, First Lieutenant, and Electrical Officer. He then joined the U.S. SEVENTH FLEET aboard the USS BLUE RIDGE (LCC-19) from 1988 to 1989, managing a substantial fuel budget as Assistant Fleet Scheduling Officer and Assistant Logistics Officer. After five years in Japan, Richard moved to Monterey, California, to study French at the Defense Language Institute. This led to an exchange officer position with the French Navy from 1989 to 1992, where he served as Navigator on the FNS COLBERT (C 611) and FNS DUQUESNE (D 603). He left the Navy in 1992 and returned to the San Francisco Bay Area. In 1993, Richard founded a company that grew significantly over a 20-year period. Although he was married for much of that time, since 2019, he and his former spouse have maintained a friendly relationship while pursuing separate lifestyles. Since January 2020, Richard has been living in Thailand as an unintended expat. Initially planning to be digital and nomadic, he decided to settle more permanently due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During this time, he built a house in a rural province and wrote extensively about COVID-19, masks, lockdowns, and global drug trials - earning recognition for his insights. Currently, Richard manages multiple income streams while engaging in various creative pursuits. He writes, makes videos, takes long walks, swims and snorkels in the tropical ocean, rides a motorcycle without a helmet, and enjoys cooking and eating exquisite food. A self-proclaimed gym junkie and honorary "Bro," Richard is known for his clever and well-crafted writing. In this show, Richard and Lian explore the intricate connections between community, diet, and the microbiome, weaving together science, storytelling, and spirituality. They delve into how inner and outer communities shape human experience and how ancestral diets can connect us to the wisdom of the past. They reflect on the distortions of industrial society, the transformative power of dietary choices, a shamanic perspective on consumption and well-being, and the mysterious interplay between nutrition and our psyche. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: The microbiome is more than a physical system - it's a dynamic ecosystem influenced by diet, community, and the stories we tell about ourselves. Understanding and honouring this interplay can lead to profound transformation. By adopting practices, like eating more fibre and cooking and cooling starchy foods for resistant starch, we can support gut health and reconnect with natural ways of eating that shaped human evolution. What we eat can shape not only our physical health but also the content of our dreams, illuminating symbols for self discovery - which suggests a greater link between our food and our psyche than is generally discussed.

This week's show is with Sarah Janes. Author, researcher, curator, retreat/workshop facilitator and public speaker, Sarah Janes specialises in the ancient history and culture of dreaming and has been an enthusiastic lucid dreamer since childhood. Sarah is passionate about the potential of dreaming for physical, emotional, creative and spiritual upliftment, not just for individuals, but for culture and society. Sarah is co-director and curator of Dream Palace Athens, a symposium and deep-dreaming residency project in Greece. She is also the host of popular online lecture series Explorers Egyptology. Sarah has collaborated with Rupert Sheldrake and the British Pilgrimage Trust to reinvigorate the practice of dream incubation at sacred sites around the UK. Currently leading retreats to the ancient dream incubation sanctuaries of the Mediterranean, Sarah is now based between Hastings in England and Archaia Epidavros in the Peloponnese. Sarah's book: Initiation into Dream Mysteries: Drinking from the Pool of Mnemosyne explores the history and culture of dreaming in the Western Esoteric Tradition and is available from all book sellers and on Audible. In this show, Sarah and Lian delve into the profound world of dreams and lucid dreaming, exploring how these altered states of consciousness shape our understanding of reality. They discuss Sarah's lifelong passion for dreaming, the philosophical implications of lucidity, and the potential for personal growth and transformation within the dream realm. They explore the connection between lucid dreaming and hypnagogic states, highlight the transformative nature of these experiences, and share practical techniques for achieving lucidity. Together, they reflect on the role of ancient wisdom in dream practices, consider the cosmic perspective lucid dreaming provides, and emphasise the significance of memory and intention in shaping our dream experiences. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: Dreams offer a unique intersection of sleep and wakefulness, providing a space for insight and creativity that taps into our deepest desires and fears. Through lucid dreaming, we can actively engage with these elements for self discovery. Hypnagogic states, those transitional moments between wakefulness and sleep, can be used as a pathway into lucid dreaming, allowing us to consciously enter the dream realm. In this state, we are connected to ancient cultural practices that viewed dreams as essential tools for decision-making and self-understanding. Lucid dreaming is not simply a binary experience but can manifest in varying degrees of awareness - lucidity is a spectrum. By setting intentions, practicing memory recall, and recording dreams, we can deepen our understanding and appreciation of the dream world as a transformative and healing space.

This week's show is with Aidan Wachter, an animist, author, and healer. Aidan has been involved in practical magic since the 1980s.  He is an animist and is deeply concerned with the effects of modern Western life-ways on the human animal, on both physical and spiritual levels.  Aidan views a living magical practice as a path to heal many of the problems we face today and a way of being that is intrinsic to the creatures we are. He is the author of Six Ways: Approaches & Entries to Practical Magic and Weaving Fate: Hypersigils, Changing the Past & Telling True Lies, and Changeling: A Book Of Qualities. In this episode, Aidan and Lian explore the concept of vessels in magic and witchcraft - and especially vessels for self-discovery and transformation. Aidan reveals lessons from a significant breakdown - which he sees now was catalysed by the very work of his book Changeling - which is about this notion of vessels. They discuss the fluid nature of identity, examine the qualities that define a witch, and consider the role of power in personal growth and the impact of reclaiming our energy from misaligned places. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: A vessel isn't just a container—it's a channel that holds and directs energy, shaping the flow of our lives and the choices that define us. What we choose to hold within shapes our identity and anchors us in life. Power, often viewed as corrupting, becomes transformative when consciously claimed. For a witch, power is an inner resource to guide growth, create change, and hold responsibility. Honouring our ancestors roots us in a lineage that offers wisdom, invites healing across generations, and strengthens our connection to purpose.

This week's show is with Anthony Metivier. Anthony is the founder of the Magnetic Memory Method, a systematic, 21st Century approach to memorising foreign language vocabulary, names, music, poetry and much more in ways that are easy, elegant, effective and fun. In this show, Anthony and Lian explore the profound themes of memory, identity, and spiritual practice. They delve into the intricate nature of memory, exploring its definitions, implications, and the philosophical questions surrounding it. Anthony shares his fascination with memory science, the various types of memory, and the metaphorical engines that contribute to our experiences. They discuss the limitations of language and metaphors in understanding memory, the relationship between memory and consciousness, and the idea of reincarnation through language and memory. The conversation highlights the complexity of memory as both a scientific and philosophical topic, emphasising the importance of questioning and exploring rather than seizing definitive answers. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: Memory is often overlooked in spiritual discussions despite its significance, and yet, it is a powerfully transformative process that shapes both personal identity and our understanding of existence, offering profound insights when explored scientifically, philosophically and spiritually. Techniques like the memorisation of spiritual texts and conscious engagement with myths can deepen our awareness and connection to the wisdom in these texts and stories in potent ways. Philosophical inquiries into memory can reveal hidden aspects of the self, supporting healing and maybe even awakening through the exploration of the role of implicit memory and identity.

This week's show is with Sasha Archer. Sasha is a hands-on healer and creatrix based in Leicestershire, UK. For over a decade, she worked as a footwear designer for the UK high street, until her anxiety led her down a different path. As she underwent her own healing journey and delved deeper into working with spirit, she uncovered more of the unknown than she was prepared for. Seeking a mentor and guidance, she was fortunate to be awarded a bursary by Jez Hughes of Second Sight healing, allowing her to pursue her training as a shamanic practitioner. After completing the three-year course in 2023, she began offering individual and group healing sessions, integrating her training, personal healing journey, and the wisdom imparted by her guides. Recently, Sasha took part in the Hay House Diverse Wisdom writing initiative, collaborating with renowned authors to share her book idea and develop a book proposal. She's currently writing a book that supports readers in their healing journey, helping them to reclaim their personal power so they can live a radiant and authentic life.  In this show, Sasha and Lian explored Sasha's profound journey of understanding and healing anxiety through earth-based spirituality. Sasha reflects on her early experiences with anxiety, the impact it had on her life, and the pivotal moments that led her to explore healing beyond the mainstream. They discuss the significance of intuition and synchronicity, reflect on the healing power of the earth, and emphasise the importance of inclusivity and accessibility in healing practices. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: As Sasha's story shows… anxiety can be understood and worked with, not just overcome. Sasha's intuitive connection to the earth helped her reclaim her power - and this is true for almost all of us. We often receive undeniable signs from spirit that can guide us… we need to learn to trust those synchronicities and follow them.

Since then he has taken further training in Integrative Psychotherapy, worked with the ManKind Project UK and Ireland (where he was a Primary Integration Training leader), and researched in depth the art of working with, and reintegrating, the human shadow.

We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: These four archetypes are universal, and go beyond gender or culture, you don't have to use the tradition names if different names resonate more deeply for you These archetypes can be intuitively felt and understood when we are ready and open to them. The four archetypes provide a framework for self-illumination, healing, and growth, in a way that goes beyond a theoretical understanding of them - it could even be described as magical!

They delve into the historical context of psychedelics, the importance of reclaiming ancient practices, and the future prospects for legalisation and acceptance in society. They reflect on the need for a balanced approach to psychedelics, advocating for microdosing as a means to navigate the current challenges while seeding a deeper understanding of the spiritual potential of these substances.

What you'll learn from this episode: Many people are feeling a deep calling towards psychedelics, and at the same time, censorship and legal challenges are increasing in the psychedelic space, and are part of the landscape to navigate. The journey of psychedelics is intertwined with personal and collective evolution - as ever, what's most personal is most universal. As much as there is a trend to medicalise and psychologise psychedelics, it's important to remember that at their heart - they open us to the spiritual.

What you need to know about awakening… it's not all love and light! This week's show is with Dr. Daniel M. Ingram, MD MSPH, a retired emergency medicine physician who works to improve the global relationship of science, clinical practice, mental health and the public to the phenomena that might be referred to as spiritual, meditative, energetic, mystical, psychedelic, magical, and related phenomena. To those ends, he is currently the founder, philanthropic supporter, and volunteer CEO and Board Chair of the Emergence Benefactors registered charity, and chief organiser and co-founder of the global Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium. He is currently involved in neurophenomenological research of advanced meditative states with colleagues at Harvard and has been a participant in numerous fMRI and EEG studies of advanced meditators, including at Harvard, Yale, U Mass, and Vanderbilt. He has published scientific articles in Pediatrics, Child Abuse and Neglect, and the Journal of Medical Toxicology. He is the author of Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha, co-author of The Fire Kasina, and co-founder of the Dharma Overground. His work has been featured in The New York Times, Esquire, Vice, Wired, BBC Radio 4, Evolving Dharma, American Dharma: Buddhism Beyond Modernity, Dan Harris' 10% Happier Podcast, Slate Star Codex Blog, Buddha at the Gas Pump, Meaning of Life TV, Deconstructing Yourself, Spiritual Explained website, Guru Viking, Buddhist Geeks, Cosmic Tortoise, Startup Geometry, Imperfect Buddha Podcast, and many others. In this conversation, Lian and Daniel explored the challenges and pitfalls associated with spiritual awakening, particularly the dark nights of the soul that many seekers face on their path.  This is ancient wisdom that in some modern western spheres has been forgotten and is now being remembered - which you'll hear can be surprisingly controversial. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: Spiritual awakening can lead to significant challenges and disruptions in life - historical texts have long acknowledged the challenges of spiritual practices. Recognising this means we can seek traditions that include guidance and remedies for difficult experiences. Community support and normalisation of experiences can help individuals feel less isolated in their difficult spiritual experiences, and provide help in navigating them.

This week's show is with Janet Hill. Janet is a modern day medicine woman, a teacher of ancient ways and a bridge between the worlds.  Janet is deeply attuned to the overwhelming sense of unease that is part of modern life - especially for mothers. Her work is devoted to helping mums make profound changes in their lives by learning how to access support from nature, spirit, and ancestral wisdom. The Rooted Mother is the name of Janet's business, but it also describes her philosophy and way of being in the world. Through this work, she guides mothers through a soul journey of deep transformation so they can access deep nourishment to become the mothers they long to be. Currently, Janet offers her healing work to women on their mothering journey through tarot ceremonies, healings, and individual coaching.  Janet is the co-creator of The Cherished Mother, where Kate and Janet guide women on a devotional healing journey through their wounds, fears and longings  to wholeness. In this show, Janet and Lian explored the profound journey of transformation from a depressed and fearful accountant to adeeply rooted medicine woman, that Janet has undergone over the past four years with Be Mythical. They discuss the initial fears and darkness Janet faced, particularly surrounding her calling to become a coach and then a shamanic healer, and how, as she began to uncover her patterns, she gained a deeper understanding of herself. The conversation delves into the impact of significant losses in Janet's life, her understanding of spirituality, her shamanic sickness, and how her wounds have shaped her ability to heal others. They also touch on the importance of motherhood and the connection to the earth and the elements in healing, emphasising the need for deeper spiritual connections in today's world - for all of us, not just those of here to guide and heal others. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: Descending into our deepest wounds and facing our fears can lead to profound understanding and healing. The darkness we fear can become our greatest teacher. As Janet's story shows, an echo of the archetype of the Wounder Healer, understanding one's own wounds is often essential for healing others. Discovering and embracing our unique path can be the only way to self-gnosis and healing for some of us - as was the case for Janet.

This week's show is with Vanya Leilani. Vanya is a depth psychologist, writer, teacher and storyteller. She has spent decades exploring the threshold where the external “shoulds” in our lives encounter our own wild knowing and un-knowing. She is passionate about helping us cultivate deeper friendship with our own lives as we learn to live from nature, rather than from obedience to the status quo. She devotes herself to this work through individual accompaniment, sacred gatherings, storytelling, teaching, and writing.    Vanya holds a PhD in Depth Psychology with emphasis in Jungian and Archetypal Studies. She has also completed a certificate training intensive with Dr Clarissa Pinkola Estes and  has served as an adjunct professor at Pacifica Graduate Institute teaching on the creative power of archetypes.   Vanya was born and raised in southeastern Brazil and currently lives in the woods of the Pacific Northwest of the United States, where she tends to the land and many animals.  'The Flesh and the Fruit: Remembering Eve and the Power of Creative Transgression' by Vanya Leilani will launch on October 11th 2024 with pre-orders available from the webshop. Vanya Leilani remembers the story of Eve in the Garden of Eden, not only exposing the harmful ways it has been used, but more importantly, uncovering what is hidden in this story: the Goddess in the Garden, along with her ways of being and knowing. In this conversation, Lian and Vanya explore the archetype of Eve, challenging traditional narratives that have painted her as a symbol of guilt and shame. They discuss the cultural implications of Eve's story, the importance of reclaiming her as a figure of empowerment, and the concept of transgression as a means to sovereignty. Vanya shares her personal journey of connecting with Eve, emphasising the need for women to embrace their desires and step beyond societal boundaries. This episode is a call to recognise and reclaim Eve's medicine, which lies in her duality of carrying both our wounds and our healing. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: Eve is often misrepresented as a symbol of guilt and shame, and the narrative around her has profound implications, both collectively and personally, and both consciously and subconsciously, regardless of our background. Reclaiming Eve is perhaps essential for women's empowerment, allowing us to question the cultural narratives that shape our understanding of femininity and spirituality. Eve's medicinal story invites us to step beyond cultural boundaries, to remember our true selves and our spiritual sovereignty.

All The Everything is Lian's monthly solo show where she often shares what she's been creating, consuming, and celebrating before diving deep into a topic inspired or chosen by members of the Be Mythical fb group. The LIVE making of the show is recorded in our Facebook group and for the first 30 minutes before Lian hits the record button you are invited to a pre-show party to get up close and personal with Lian and have your questions on the month's topic answered. To receive a reminder of when the pre-show party and LIVE making of All The Everything is happening, make sure you're subscribed to our email list and are a member of the Facebook group. All the details you need are HERE! This show begins by Lian telling a soul-stirring story of The Sacred Prostitute from the book of the same name by Nancy Qualls-Corbett. Lian then invites listeners to notice and explore the thoughts, feelings, and sensations that were evoked for them personally by the story, before moving into speaking about some of the universal themes, such as fear, repulsion, objectification, desire, and receptivity activated by this archetype, and how to work with them. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: The Sacred Prostitute evokes such deep collective themes that she can be an incredible potent archetype for showing us where our work lies - notice and honour what she brings up for you The Sacred Prostitute requires a deep level of maturity and individuation to work with deeply - Lian emphasises the importance of doing the foundational healing work and journeying through other archetypes before devoting to work with the Sacred Prostitute because she is such a magnet for fantasy and projection. Receptivity is a key aspect of the Sacred Prostitute archetype, but it is often misunderstood and undervalued in our culture, which of course is why it's so needed, powerful and medicinal when we do experience it.
