Alison Chino is a soul walker. She’s also a gorgeous photographer, writer and yoga teacher. Jane and Alison talk in this podcast episode about how to live our moments with deep presence and reverence for life. How taking long walks in nature, in different cultures expands your heart and brings you within.

I am a copywriter. I write, edit and proofread blog posts, sales pages, eCourses, and eBooks. I’ve been writing internet copy for over ten years. The copywriting product I’m most excited about offering this year is called Newsletter Magic. It’s where I write all your newsletters for you so you can concentrate on the other parts of your business (and life).

I am a traveler. My preferred form of procrastination is doing internet research about where I can fly off to for cheap, preferably next week. Instead of using social media, I write all about my travels on my blog. You can subscribe to future blog posts right here.

I am a writer. I enjoy stretching myself as a writer by doing new things like storytelling projects and e-mail writing courses. The best way to get in on whatever I’m writing lately is to subscribe to my monthly newsletter.

I am a yoga instructor. I’m teaching yoga in Italy on this writing retreat in April 2021. Yes, you should totally come!

I am a guide. I have been going for long walks for a long time. In 2021, I’m hoping to return to the Camino de Santiago and you can come with me if you want!

I am a human being, dear loved and worthy of unconditional belonging. (And so are you!) Whatever else I am doing in the world, I try to take time to remind myself (and my readers) of this simple truth.

Jessica Snow and Jane Reeves discuss magic in LA, good boundaries, storytelling and alchemy in meditation.

Jessica is consistently at the fore of the mystical zeitgeist.

People have pressed play on her meditations and podcasts over 92,000 times.

Since 2011, Jessica’s bright imagination, inclusive nature, and magical voice have made her a sought-out and beloved meditation guide in her hometown of Los Angeles.

Today, Jessica is a leader in the guided meditation movement and an authentic voice of the new new age. She creates and leads inventive mystical experiences that are as profound as they are pleasurable. 

Beneficial for both the first timer and the experienced meditator, her narratives are powerful original myths and fairy tales filled with symbolism. By placing the participant at the center of each journey with her signature “spoonful of sugar” approach, she creates the gateway to mystical experiences.

Since starting crystal meditations with Spellbound Sky in 2012, she has guided hundreds of events with many thousands of people, written three books, created an expansive hypersigil of digital content and witnessed an extraordinary amount of magic. 

Jessica's main aim is always the same - to reconnect you with your own magic.

Lisa Brancatisano and Jane Reeves discuss all things Italy: wine, food, and the heart of it all “La Famiglia”.

Lisa Brancatisano was born and raised in Melbourne Australia and studied fashion design before traveling to Italy when she was 22 years old to learn Italian and explore her Italian heritage. She fell in love with the city of Florence where she proceeded to live for the next 2 years, learning how to paint watercolours and sell alongside the local street artists in the courtyard of the Uffizi gallery.

She returned to Italy in 2006 and worked for a fashion distributor for the next 12 years, responsible for research, acquisition and marketing of new fashion brands in Italy.

In 2016, she founded This Tuscan Life, a lifestyle magazine that celebrates the historic borgos, vineyards, talented artisans, festivals and traditional recipes of Tuscany. Lisa also offers ‘This Tuscan Life’ food, fashion and artisan walks. She lives in Florence with her husband Emiliano and two sons, Matteo and Thomas.

Each episode contains authentic interviews with gifted thinkers, authors, artists, and coaches about how to go within, be where we are, and live a life with Ferocious Compassion.

Over the past three decades, Jane Reeves has been seeking authentic ways to develop a practice that brings more light, love, and joy into the world. Jane helps people dive deep into the practices of Loving Kindness, applying ancient and modern techniques to encourage spirit work, life design, and meeting wellness aspirations. She helps people to listen to their heart’s desires and to embody the path they are on in the present moment.

Jane is founder of Radiant Jane Retreats and has led over 70 retreats. She and her team lead retreats to Italy where guests experience rich restoration through the culture of Italy, Tuscany, art, history, cuisine, connection, joy and meditation while being surrounded by beauty. Jane also leads retreats throughout the U.S.

Her first book, A Heart of Gold is an inspiring guide into the practice of Loving Kindness. For anyone who is discouraged by a culture that focuses on scarcity and being busy, Jane offers within these pages a more generous way to live. She opens up a different way of being in the world, a method that is steeped in the practice of Loving Kindness.

Through stories in her own life and many years of being a guide for others, Jane shows how Loving Kindness can revolutionize a life. Loving Kindness is both a way to increase your own happiness and to bring happiness to others. Jane teaches that anyone in the world, anywhere, no matter what age, gender, background, race, or socioeconomic structure can learn how to weave Loving Kindness into ordinary life. Loving Kindness is universal in its accessibility.
