Inner Truth with David Newell

Ravi Freeman is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, composer and one of the longest established Western players of the kora (West African harp), Ravi's music is the result of a lifetime exploring the edge, through world music, devotional singing, indigenous cultures, throat singing and a journey that has taken him from India to the Amazon.

"I have seen many musicians and performers in the last 20 years or more. Ravi Ji is not a performer or musician, he is greater than that. It is evident that he is deeply connected to something far greater than himself. Through this connection, he creates a sacred space where he, and those that participate with him, access deep meditative states, through heartfelt song, accompanied by Ravi's delightful playing of musical instruments." - Bhakti Rasa

Dr. Caroline Leaf is a communication pathologist and cognitive neuroscientist with a Masters and PhD in Communication Pathology and a BSc Logopaedics from the University of Cape Town and the University of Pretoria in South Africa, specializing in cognitive and metacognitive neuropsychology. Since the early 1980s, she has researched the mind-brain connection, the nature of mental health and the formation of memory.

She has helped hundreds of thousands of students and adults learn how to use t heir mind to detox and grow their brain, helping them succeed in every area of their lives, including school, university and the workplace.

Natalie Miles is a Channeler for the Collective, Psychic Medium, Writer, Speaker and Host of the top spiritual podcast on iTunes, "So You Think You're Intuitive?"

It's her mission to make intuition accessible and be the "door opener" for others to connect to their intuition.

Intuition is for everyone. We all can connect to our inner truth and power.

She believes that everyone is born intuitive, but through societal conditioning and ancestral shame most people have repressed how to use their natural gifts. Natalie guides people to reactivate the gifts that we were all born with.

Natalie shares that by connecting to your intuition and experiencing a Spiritual Reactivation the focus isn't on "love and light intuition". It's not to be used as a tool for Spiritual Bypassing. It's about using your gifts to support you to heal your pain, shadow and limiting beliefs.

A journey to become a conscious intuitive for the collective and the world we live in.

His latest book, Reinventing Masculinity: The Liberating Power of Compassion and Connection, explores the conventional notion of what it means to be a man. What he calls "Confined Masculinity"--traps men in an emotional straitjacket; steers them toward selfishness, misogyny, and violence; and severely limits their possibilities. As an antidote, he proposes a new paradigm: Liberating Masculinity. It builds on traditional masculine roles like the protector and provider, expanding men's options to include caring, collaboration, emotional expressivity, an inclusive spirit, and environmental stewardship.
