Spiritual Sluts Podcast

In the final part of our '23 wrapped series, Raquel talks about how her year has been. 
With the keywords 'Settling, Health and Surrender' as guiding points, we dive into several interesting topics that have been meaningful to her in 2023 before we get into the ‘dirty’ stuff:

* Fitting in and fulfillment at work
* Mental and physical health
* Surrender
* Foreplay and kissing
* Sex and the use of stimulants 
* And many more topics

This was another episode we had a lot of fun recording and we hope you enjoy our conversation as well.

As a coach who lives in an ashram, Shannon has fascinating and deeply inspirational insights about life in general and how we as human beings interact.

Shannon’s words on contentment and deeply listening to ourselves, to others and nature is a much-needed voice in this aching world.. that has already changed the way we listen to others. We hope it serves you too!

Hello everyone! 

This episode is very special as we have our first ‘famous’ guest: Mark ‘Mr Embodiment’ Walsh.

Mark is the author of several books (Embodiment, Working with the Body in Training and Coaching), founder of The Embodied Facilitator Course, Embodied Yoga Principles, The Embodiment Podcast (1 million+ downloads) and The Embodiment Conference. With an honours degree in psychology, 20+ years of yoga experience and an aikido black belt, he has dedicated his life to embodied learning.

Raquel met Mark last year at a workshop and he graciously accepted our invitation to be on the podcast. They have a very interesting and spirited conversation on a broad range of topics:

•Mark’s background and how he got into Embodiment 
•The principles of Embodiment and how it relates to spirituality
•Embodiment and (Western) culture 
•Modern cultural trends and Mark’s notion of ‘Decadence’
•Sex in modern society 

Mark is a very eloquent and entertaining speaker who has thought deeply about how to live a fulfilling life and many other current issues. We found his no non-sense and direct way of speaking refreshing and inspirational. Find out more on his website https://embodimentunlimited.com/ or find his Instagram (@warkmalsh).
Many thanks to Mark and we hope you enjoy the episode!

We are so excited for you to listen to this episode! 

This time I had the amazing opportunity to interview the impressive William Burkhart. He is a coach and adventure leader who has included psychedelics in his coaching offering. 

In our conversation we discuss:

·      His background as a former Marine Corps Intelligence Officer

·      Gratitude for his time in the military

·      What war does to the human spirit

·      Psychedelics and processing war trauma

·      Waking up to a new world

·      Coaching as a strong foundation for the integration of psychedelic experiences 

·      Impactful client stories

We were blown away by his life story and the heart-connected purpose that’s leading his work. If you’d like to connect with him and find out more about his offering you can find him on his website: https://www.badass-coaching.net/

Thank you, Will for this inspiring conversation!

The second part of our reunion is online now. In this episode, we go down memory lane to talk about our relationship and how being friends hasn’t always been easy because of our history. 

Specifically, we talk about:

 ·      Appreciating being home 

·      Drugs & meditation

·      Addiction to drugs and to thinking

·      Remembering things differently

·      The value of having difficult conversations

·      Unconsciously reliving your trauma

·      Suffering is not personal 

·      Ending on sexy note: being too loud and sex toys

 We hope you enjoy it! And if you’d like to support us give us 5 stars on spotify or Apple podcasts. Thanks a bunch!

In today’s episode we have a guest joining us all the way from Argentina. Heleen de Jong is a Dutch cellist, but we connected a few months ago because of her passion for astrology. We talk about music, spirituality, astrology and sex.

Also, she shares some of her gorgeous music with us (check it out at minute 4:20)! You can connect with her via instagram at heleendejongastrology if you would like to contact her for a reading. She can do it in Dutch, Spanish and English.

PS: In this episode, we talk about how astrology can be a tool for self-knowledge and help you connect with your inner resources. This is a particularly relevant topic at the end of the year, in which we might be naturally taking stock of everything that has passed and what kind of learning and resources we are taking forward. If you want to be intentional about reflecting on the last year and what you’d like to create going forward, join me and my colleague Federica Salvi on 19 December for a moment of slow down, gratitude and dreaming.

If you’d like to find out more reach me at [email protected] or register here and I can send you more info: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0sc-CtrTIvHtSy5RrPbTes3cqa9hqExVvI

We’d love to have you there!

Okay, now I leave you with Heleen, astrology, spirituality and Heleen’s beautiful music. Enjoy!
