The Modern Crone

Jeff ‘Gent’ Stone (Gentle Eagle)  was raised around Ceremony.  Specifically, he has worked with Native American Elders (mostly Lakota) who have taught him how to perform Inipi Sweat Lodge Ceremonies, Firewalk, Vision Quest, Chanunpa Sacred Pipe, Sun Dance as well as many Sacred Plant Medicine Ceremonies, including Ayahuasca, Peyote, Huachuma, Psilocybin, Rape and others. Gent has carried a Sacred Pipe for over 30 years and facilitates many healing Ceremonies with the community. 

Gent also has a PhD in Biomedical Science from UCSF and is currently furthering his education and working in the field of Bioinformatics and Data Science. Gent also collaborates with many clinicians, including those at MAPS and other psychedelic integration therapists and adjunct care providers. He is working diligently to educate the community on best practices for use of Sacred Plant Medicines as well as harm reduction and is working with others to lead decriminalisation efforts across the country.

Join us as Gent shares his views on Native American Shamanism in the modern era, the interconnectedness of all of life, even at a cellular level, the active role of our ancestors, the first, second and third attention, and the true nature of the Dream Space as a Healing Space. We share some of our story when we met in Peyote Ceremony in Utah three years ago and how the Plant Medicines help us to reconnect to Spirit and the Mystery.

On today’s episode I am joined by Mark Flood. Mark has a passion to work with various shamanic techniques and perspectives – to open up the spaces he holds for direct and revelatory contact to pure existence.

He feels that in an age of information proliferation, we can all forget where to go to find our own visions- while being surrounded by so much of the sight already seen.

Mark has learnt from shamanic teachers over the past seven years and also acknowledges the teachings from the unseen and inner ones that have been with him and felt since a young boy.

He considers himself to still be in training for his shamanic becoming, as he believes in the long road, and the long ways in which learning arrives through the measures of walking this path through great distances of time.

Mark moves deeply and reverently within the spaces he holds and really enjoys the connective moments that arise out of the hearts of human beings gathering in sacred circles.

He practices the shamanic work daily and has allied himself through this work to a purpose and a type of medicine that helps to reveal a vision of life that Is unique and available to every one of us.

Join us as we explore Mark’s story of a felt-knowing of the Great Mystery from his boyhood, the ecstatic path of the soul, the disruptive dynamics of Shamanism, the soul’s call, working with spiritual allies and finding the resonance of ‘wonder within’. Mark shares with us how his poetry moves through him as an extension of this ‘felt knowing’ and a sublime revelation of the nonlinearity of who we were, who we are and who we are becoming, all coexisting in every moment.  We end the podcast with a reading of Mark’s beautiful poetry. Divine!

On today’s episode I am joined by Magi Whisson. For the past fifty years Magi has been an explorer, student, and practitioner within the field of esoteric science. She has worked independently and in collaboration with others, bringing the esoteric sciences to the worlds of healing, writing, publishing, personal and spiritual development programs and workshops. Magi has been influenced by a range of traditions, philosophies and theories and respectfully acknowledges their contribution in forging her own pathway and ‘World Work’. She is the co-creator and co-facilitator of The Human Odyssey- a Map for the Journey and she has a strong alliance and involvement with the Earth Treasure Vase Global Healing Project. 

Her own body of work is held as OPUSonus.  A work existing on subtle levels and the inner planes and one that is now emerging and being given further expression in the outer world, to serve the evolutionary imperatives of our times.

Join us as we explore Magi’s experience of ‘The Shaman’s Death’; the deep calling through visioning and eventually visiting the motherland of Africa; her encounters and healing with the celestial beings embodied in the White Lion’s of Africa and the incredible work of reginiting the songlines of the Earth through the Earth Treasure Vase project. Magi shares with us the deep call and purpose of her writing, offered via OpusOnus, weaving story and experience from Land, Spirit and People.

On today’s episode I am joined by Jorge Luis Delgrado. Born in the highlands near Lake Titicaca, Peru, Jorge is of Aymara Incan heritage. His mother is from a family of herders and his father was a teacher. 

He was trained by the Kallawayas shamans of the northeast Lake Titicaca region, in the lineage of the Amautas, (the Wise Ones of the Andes). He also trained with the Q'ero Elders of the Cusco region who are considered the last remaining descendants of the Incas. Jorge is known around the world as a knowledgeable guide of the Sacred Valley and the High Plateau of the Andes. His knowledge spans the culture, the traditions, and the spiritual heritage of his vibrant Inca world. 

We met a few years ago in the Sacred Valley of Peru and our discussions, rituals and meditations completely changed the trajectory of my life. 

Join us as we explore ‘Shamanism’ as a state of consciousness, the current times of the Pachakuti and the role of COVID in this ‘great reversal’, the true nature of Light, the reciprocity of the Universe and much more.

Julian has learned Yidaki, (Didgeridoo) directly from Aboriginal people around Australia including Arnhem Land (where the Yidaki originates), and has been playing for 29 years.

In this fascinating episode we chat about Julian’s life journey from the wilds of South Africa, to Western Australia and into Arnhem Land, an historical and mythical region of the Northern Territory of Australia. Following the visions he was receiving in his dream space, and the spiritual reverberation of the Yidaki, Julian lived with the elders and original custodians of the Didgeridoo and was initiated into its medicine. Join us for an exploration of the true nature of dreaming, the Australian Aboriginal shamanic view of sound and healing, the interconnectedness of life, the importance of deep listening  and much more. And as a special treat, Julian plays out this episode with his Didgeridoo and a ‘song’ given to him directly from Mother Earth.
