Our guest today was introduced to me by a good friend of the podcast, Ryan Sprague, and when he sends someone my way I know it will be a good conversation.

Back in 2004 our guest became the first Westerner to be recognized as a Maestro Medico Vegetalista or Amazonian Plant Medicine Expert. Since receiving this title of distinction he has guided over 3,000 plant medicine ceremonies and has assisted over 15,000 individuals on their healing journeys.

To say he is well versed in the realm of plant medicine is an understatement. He is also a coach, author, teacher and artist. He has been featured by Time Magazine, National Geographic, The New York Times and The Aubrey Marcus Podcast.

He is here to take us on a deep dive into plant medicines and the indigenous wisdom teachings of the Amazonian Jungle.

It is a pleasure to introduce you to Hamilton Souther.

Hello everyone, my name is Adam Carbary and I want to thank you for tuning into another episode of the Embrace and Expand Podcast.

On this episode we welcome back a guest from earlier in the season who is a wealth of knowledge in astrology, breathwork, personal training and how to regulate your nervous system.

As we both having been going through very similar energies in our lives we decided to treat this podcast as  a conversation between two friends instead of a traditional interview.

We touch on a plethora of topics from the current state of our world, what we can do to improve our lives and how the simple things are the greatest gifts in life.

I hope you enjoy this phenomenal conversation with Hali Bailey.

My next guest is a bodyworker who is dedicated to helping people feel comfortable and at home in their body.

Formerly a research scientist with a background in physiology and neuroscience, he brings extensive practical knowledge and experience along with infinite curiosity and reverence for the complexity of the body to his practice.

He is passionately dedicated to honoring both the suffering and wisdom held in the body, mind and spirit of each individual. His practice is driven by an unwavering confidence in the intrinsic healing capacity within every person.

I am excited to dive deeper into the topic of somatics with my next guest, and cousin, Collin Sedlacek.

*This is an encore presentation of this episode that aired back in April of 2023*

Today we welcome to the podcast our very first guest of season 2. I came across this beautiful soul during a week long Breathwork Summit back in January of 2023. After taking pages of notes from his hour long workshop I knew I needed to get him onto the podcast to share with all of you his wondrous teachings.

He spent several years living and studying in a Hindu monastery which introduced him to the core body of Tantric traditions which continue to flow through each of his teachings. Apprenticeships in leadership development, meditation and philosophy training, spiritual awakening and Vedic rituals were all part of his development into the thought-leader that he is today. 

His teachings, through a mixture of Dharma talks, Meditations and Breathwork Practices, guide seekers to explore their deepest selves leading them to live their lives free from tension and full of trust. Through his hugely popular Wanderlust Festival workshops, Unplug teachings and online trainings, He has been catalyzing the inner evolution of others for decades: helping them to grow, transform obstacles into opportunities, and find Love within.

It is my absolute pleasure to introduce you to Scott Schwenk.

The woman joining us on today’s episode was recently introduced to me by a friend of the show Steve Norris from the Better Place Project Podcast. He suggested I have her onto the show to share her wisdom of working with animals with all of you; so here we are.

From a very early age she knew that she was on the side of animals going vegetarian at the age of 12. She went on to do work experience as a teenager at a busy hospital in Dublin, Ireland. That led her to complete an honors degree in analytical chemistry and biology which took her through a 7 year career in the Pharmaceutical industry.

That experience allowed her to view the healing process from an allopathic and holistic approach. Over the years she has traveled all over the world studying many different forms of healing modalities and fine tuning her abilities to communicate with animals and glean what they are feeling and how best to assist them.

Having five fur kids myself this is a conversation that I have been greatly looking forward to. Without further ado let me introduce you to Lisa Tully.

The guest on this episode is a gentleman I recently connected with through a workshop he held locally here in WA.

 After experiencing his workshop I knew I had to have him on the podcast to share his view and perspective with all of you listening. 

He is a wealth of knowledge and wisdom that has been gained through a life of doing the work.

Utilizing a slough of modalities such as breathwork, meditation, movement, EFT, NLP, and EMDR, just to name a few, he host workshops and retreats with the vision to awaken the divine spark within each and every person, empowering them to reclaim their authentic selves and find healing from within. 

Joining us from Costa Rica it is my honor to introduce you to David Price.

On this episode we invite a woman I met over a year ago in a Somatic Breathwork training I was a part of. 

Her passion for the power of plants has taken her on a miraculous healing journey all over the world.

She is a student of plant medicine and astrology, a breathworker, and currently a huachuma apprentice. 

Now a resident of Peru she is continuing to follow that passion using modalities that include the breath in our lungs, the voice in our hearts, the plants that surround us, and the cosmic world within us.  

So it is a pleasure to introduce you to Paige Sommer.

Today I am excited to bring on a very special guest who has made a massive impact in my life.

Those of you who have been listening to the podcast since the beginning have heard myself and many other guests talk about Somatic Breathwork and the amazing benefits it can provide.

Our guest today is the man behind Somatic Breathwork. He has helped myself and thousands of others to come back to who they truly are by connecting with their body and breath in a way that frees you from the shackles that our subconscious has on us.

It is my great pleasure to introduce you to my teacher, mentor and guide Steven Jaggers.
