Thank you for your devoted listenership, and I can't wait to share more divine truths and medicine with you soon.

I could not be more thrilled than what I currently am to bring you this new Ceremony Circle podcast episode. Out of the thousands of interviews I’ve conducted in my career, THIS is the most powerful conversation I’ve ever had. This episode is for the record books—serving all of humanity, all living beings across all time and space serving for all of the highest greatest earthly good. If this episode resonates with you like it did with me, for the first time ever, I’m asking you to share this epic conversation I have with Dogon High Priest Naba Iritah Shenmira, with any family, friends and colleagues you can think of.

Naba Iritah Shenmira is the son of the late Master Naba, and Master Naba began his spiritual initiations at the age of eight. His initiatic masters realized that he was a great reincarnation and prepared him to be a prophet and master. Master Naba eventually achieved the highest rank of priesthood, and as a Dogan high priest and master healer, he traveled extensively from temple to temple, increasing his spiritual knowledge and dedicating his life to cultural activism. 

Master Naba was granted permission to lift the veil of secrecy for the first time since the time of the invasions, providing access to the first levels of the Dogon initiation system.

He is the only authentic Dogon Master and High Priest with the knowledge, authority and permission from the Dogon royalty and elders to establish an institution to initiate people outside of Africa.

Master Naba was revered worldwide as an authority in the fields of healing, spirituality, astronomy, parapsychology, metaphysics, sociology, psychology, philosophy, geomancy. 

He spoke 13 different languages and dedicated his life to educating people on humanity’s original spiritual principles and practices, and now his son, Naba Iritah Shenmira, who so generously sits here with us today, carries on the potent legacies of these ancient practices and ways of their people that haven't been shared for nearly 3000 years! 

Top 6 Things You’ll Learn from This Episode:

1. The truths of Shamanism, ancient Kemetic teachings and Dogon ancient healing rituals—now being shared because they are for all of humanity
2. Why the deep importance of bringing these teachings to ALL, especially to the Western world, and allowing all people to not only learn, but also become initiated in these sacred traditions
3. The Bayuali Earth energy readings - the priests use the science of reading the Earth's energies, which is over 70,000 years old, originating in the oldest temples in Africa
4. The concept of time in their calendar system and how it relates to human purpose being fed by the earth and destinies intertwined
5. Dogon divination, and the concept of ancestral awareness through divination links and the truths to the pyramids
6. Traditional cleansing and healing rituals—how you can learn humanity's original forms of meditation

In a rare treat for Ceremony Circle, we have a returning guest—Rina Trevi. Rina first joined me in episode 63, and if you heard that conversation, it will be no surprise to you that I wanted to have her on again!

Rina is many things, but she mainly calls herself a vulnerability coach. For more than a decade, she's traveled the world in pursuit of deep understanding and practice of eastern spirituality, immersing herself in tantric, erotic, and spiritual expression.

She's been a full-time dominatrix, doula, and sexological bodyworker—walking hundreds of men and women into getting in touch with their deeper selves through practices of surrender and vulnerability.

After connecting with Rina and her first podcast appearance, I knew I was supposed to work with her in some capacity, but I landed clearly on being guided to having a yoni massage. The experience ended up being so profound that I wanted to have her back on, to focus solely on this topic.

Top 5 Things You’ll Learn from This Episode:

1. What a yoni massage is, why you would want to get one, and the potential benefits
2. Why there are so few yoni massage therapists in the world—and the big way Rina is now on a mission to change that with her new certification program called Suhai
3. We cover my five hour yoni massage session—what it was like and how it forever changed me
4. What amarita is 
5. How being triggered in a very safe, sacred container, actually holds great potential for deeper intimacy and infinite healing
