Intentional & Unconventional

Ashleigh Sergeant has held the roles of Global Yoga Trainer for Adidas, Head of Yoga Content for Gaia.com, and Director of Yoga & Movement for Envision Festival. She's also the Co-Founder of Experience Alaya, an online global community focused on supporting others in meaningful connection. These are all things that she has done, but in this episode, Ashleigh will remind us that it’s not all about what we achieve- it’s understanding that we are perfect, whole & complete, exactly as we are.

Daniel’s art is a meditative expression of “one continuous line” that never breaks, never crosses, and, for him, represents the flow of life. In this episode, we’ll hear how this line, (which Daniel has been drawing since he was 10 years old), has taught him that everything in life has a beginning and an end; that we cannot control our path; but rather surrender to it— to trust that everything in life is happening for our greatest good.

Stephen Brooks is the Founder of Punta Mona, an off-grid permaculture farm and educational retreat center, the co-founder of Envision Festival, and the founder of two eco villages (La Ecovilla and Alegria Village). In this episode, we’ll hear about Stephen’s upbringing, where he discovered true community, the intention behind the way he designs his life, and how he went from the suburbs of Florida to living off-the-grid in the jungles of Costa Rica.

Catching up with my friend Adam James, aka "Gary Underpants"; you may remember him from Episode 3.

In this episode, we'll talk about what brought Gary to Costa Rica, as well as some of the magical things we're delving into such as- a beautiful partner dancing immersion, role play, alter egos, and of course, PLAY; something we'd call "Gary Underpants'" specialty.

What comes up for you when I say the word “psychedelics”? In this episode, I’m diving deep with Mareesa Stertz, a filmmaker, community organizer, and a certified Kundalini Yoga teacher on a journey of her own personal healing, and on a mission to destigmatize these alternative forms of medicine. She produces and hosts a documentary series called "The Healing Powers", where she travels the world and shares her healing experiences with these psychoactive plants.
