  • Episode 156: Miguel Conner - The Forgotten Goddess: The Gnostic Sophia & The Restoration of The Universe

    "Whether or not you know it, you’ve probably been influenced by the beliefs of the Gnostics and their powerful grasp over aspects of Western spirituality. Many schools of metaphysics, the occult, mystical teachings, and even fraternal organizations and secret societies have borrowed heavily from Gnostic teaching. It’s impossible to do justice to Gnosticism in a single article, but I’ll do my best to introduce you to some of the basic concepts, leaving further research to those spurred on by the mysteries inherent in the Gnostic world. Any personal work done, if seriously approached, must serve to improve the understanding and knowledge of the student.” - Mo Abdelbaki

    The term "gnostic" derives from "gnosis," which means "knowledge" in Greek. The Gnostics believed that they were privy to a secret knowledge about the divine, hence the name.

    It is understood as one of the oldest versions of the christian religion and perhaps that it even dates back to pre-christian times.

    More than anything it’s a cosmology of the universe and a mythical way of seeing how the world came to be including the dualistic nature from which all things in this material world are separated into.

    In this episode:

    • Gnosticism helped Miguel to see the bigger picture - a holistic view of the Universe.
    • The Myth of Inanna and her relevance to everything.
    • Why Gnosticism matters and why it is considered an ecstatic and shamanistic religion
    • How The Goddess Sophia comes to awaken the divine soul and restore the universe.
    • How the Gnostics face the "horror and the holy" of the Universe
    • How Gnosticism helps us hold the darkness and light in order to find the middle path
    • Why it was said that "Modern man can’t see God because he doesn't look low enough”
    • How Miguel became a gnostic and how being a “misfit” paved the way to bigger questions.
    • What drove him was the question "What is the nature of evil and suffering?”
    • The Gnostic Philosophies and their application to todays world
    • Leaning into a divine feminine aspect and how the gnostics differ from traditional Christian interpretations
    • Much of Jungs work is derived from the Gnostics - depth Psychology in particular followed the premis “go within to discover the truth”
    • The counterfeit self that keeps us locked into the matrix- living on the surface of life vs. the ego death which then gives us access to the deeper secrets of the soul.
    • The gnostics knew that we are not our identities - but instead the divine spark with vast and infinite capacities
    • The Gnostics believe we all have a destiny that is part of the restoration of the Universe.
    • If the exterior is all an illusion, then the way to find the true reality is within us- where the true universe resides.
    • "We did not come to this world to be good, but to be ourselves.” - Jung

      If the exterior is all an illusion, then the way to find the true reality is within us- where the true universe resides.

      Gnosticism helped Miguel to see the bigger picture - a holistic view of the Universe.

    • Episode 155: Isabel Friend - The Science & Spirit of Water

      Most of us are desperately dehydrated despite drinking the recommended daily allowance of water because most of the water we drink is no longer “alive”.

      In our modern world, we have stripped water of its nourishing and hydrating properties through the purification process. Through our industrial treatment of water, we’ve stripped water of it’s minerals and made most of the water highly unstable, chaotic, and incompatible with human life. This results in disease, dehydration, premature aging, and death, but the good news is that awareness can literally change everything!

      Learn about proper hydration and the critical information you need to help your body properly detoxify, repair, and regenerate so that you can recover your energy, vitality, and joy!

      In this episode:

      • The far-reaching intelligence of water and its role in our health and in our lives.
      • What water has to do with the cosmos and planet earth.
      • Why most of the water we drink is considered “starving water”
      • Why wild water is important for health and vitality.
      • Why water is the key to climate change and energy.
      • Why 99% of us are dehydrated
      • How water has the ability to channel information, vibration, and frequency.
      • How we can create wise, intelligent, and mature water.
      • Why we are water beings as much as we are human beings.
      • What is structured water and why should you drink it?
      • Why Water is the foundation of a unified approach to ecology, politics, medicine, and more
      • Why wild water is the fountain of youth and how you can tap in.
      • The significance of transitioning from the age of Pisces (water immersion) to the age of Aquarius (water bearers)?
      • Isabel Friend is an international ambassador of Water, public speaker, and educator. She seamlessly blends science and spirit into a comprehensive cosmology of Water wisdom.

        Spanning the practical insights of health, hydration and biology, to empowering tactics for Watershed guardianship and ecological activism, to the esoteric and subtle insights of ancient indigenous Water wisdom, to the heady scientific discoveries of cutting edge Water research, Isabel’s offerings are as multifaceted as Water itself.
        For the past 6 years, she has taught about Water throughout the US, Canada, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Bali, Mexico and Thailand.

        Water is Life. And as such, water holds the solutions to life’s toughest questions. By shifting our relationship to Liquid Life - from resource to THE source - we tap into the vast untapped potential of free energy and boundless wisdom within us and within nature.

      • Episode 154: Acharya Shunya: Roar Like a Goddess - Becoming Unapologetically Powerful, Prosperous, and Peaceful

        Acharya Shunya is a truth-teller who facilitates authenticity, self-remembrance, and divine feminine pathways to awakening.

        After centuries of living in patriarchal societies, many women don’t realize how powerful they are—or how much they’ve been enculturated to keep their true nature hidden.

        In Roar Like a Goddess, trailblazing Vedic spiritual teacher Acharya Shunya empowers women everywhere to step into their divine immensity and lead powerful, abundant, and wise lives through her revolutionary revisioning of ancient India’s primary goddess archetypes:

        • The Goddess Durga—A role model who vanquishes internalized misogyny and institutionalized patriarchy, Durga teaches you how to take back your full feminine power.
        • The Goddess Lakshmi—Known for her beauty and generous spirit, Lakshmi guides you to cultivate unshakable inner contentment and soul-aligned abundance.
        • The Goddess Saraswati—The ultimate teacher of our most profound journey to Self, Saraswati illuminates the gifts of wisdom, peace, and inner freedom.
        • Sharing classic myths, original insights, and empowering practices, Shunya offers a profound process for awakening the many faces of the goddess within.

          Episode Highlights:

          • Why Women’s Anger is Sacred and why we must learn to express it
          • How the Goddesses can serve as inspiration for modern feminism
          • One of the most fundamental aspects of self-empowerment is cultivating a healthy sense of self-worth.
          • How the goddesses teach us to love ourselves
          • Acharya’s journey as a spiritual teacher who became the head of a 2,000-year-old lineage.
          • How she walks the line of being bold in her assertions, as well as inclusive in her teachings
          • Why we should encourage the carnal pursuit of pleasure
          • Similar to the pursuit of sex, we — particularly as women — are taught that the goal of material wealth is “non-spiritual,” but this is not true
          • Why women’s power is not always available uniformly, and how can it be accessed from within.
          • The first female lineage-holder of her distinguished Vedic tradition, Acharya Shunya is an internationally renowned scholar, teacher, author, speaker, and scholar of nondual wisdom (Advaita) from India and a classically-trained master of Yoga and Ayurveda. She is the Founder of The Awakened Self Foundation and the nonprofit Vedika Global, Inc., platforms headquartered in Northern California that empower, educate, and inspire a global community of students through online courses, workshops, and retreats. These conversations are furthered by Shunya’s top-rated podcast, “Shadow To Self.” An award-winning author of international repute, Shunya’s most recent book, Roar Like a Goddess: Every Woman’s Guide to Becoming Unapologetically Powerful, Prosperous, and Peaceful, was published by Sounds True in September 2022 and is now available worldwide.

            • Episode 152: Dr. Christena Cleveland - God is a Black Woman

              An act of desperation often leads us to revelation, which was also the case for Dr. Christena Cleveland as she set out for a solo 400-mile track across rural France in search of The Black Madonna.

              This conversation was so rich and powerful. I absolutely loved unpacking Dr. Cleveland's story and her future vision for what is possible in the world where women permit themselves to find their divinity within their own female bodies.

              Christena Cleveland, Ph.D., is a social psychologist, public theologian, author, and activist. She is the founder and director of the Center for Justice + Renewal and its sister organization, Sacred Folk, which creates resources to stimulate people's spiritual imaginations and support their journeys toward liberation. An award-winning researcher and former professor at Duke University's Divinity School, Christena lives in Boston, Massachusetts.

              • What made Christina walk 400 miles across rural and deep France in search of Black Madonna Statues?
              • The world events that became the catalyst for Christena's activism
              • The kinship and devotion Christena encountered in her search for the Black Madonna through the various townspeople and the activation of "the village phone tree."
              • How the Black Madonna has become a center of french village culture and what she offers for those who have reached a state of desperation.
              • How the Black Madonna has helped Christena to unburden herself and why she is symbolic of helping others to lay their burdens down.
              • How Christena's emotions took a role in leading her to pursue the Black Madonna.
              • How Christena unraveled her trauma of white male God and how it impacted her relationship with her family and community
              • We are taught that if there is a problem- it's us vs. the system that conditioned us.
              • How much spiritual and social homelessness we have to go through as we "unbecome" from our cultural and religious conditioning.
              • The process of letting go of patriarchal influences of certainty and perfection and how "she who cherishes the hot mess" became one of her chapter titles.
              • The trap of patriarchal security and how it dampens our creativity and our sense of adventure
              • What happened when Christena began to reclaim her spiritual autonomy and her theological imagination

              • Episode 151: Lynne Twist - Living A Committed Life

                Lynne's early professional life led her to a chance encounter of meeting Buckminster Fuller, which changed the trajectory of her life. In this fantastic episode, Lynne shares her understanding of this time of the Divine Feminine and how living a life of commitment has shaped her life, her vision for women, and the future of humanity.

                • Lynne is naming the energy coming through at this time: The Sophia Century and what this means for humanity at this time of evolutionary change.
                • We are the ancestors of an age to come, and all of us that are here at this time have an extraordinary opportunity to make an impact- more than ever before in human history.
                • How women can meet the dominance of the patriarchy, and how we can ignite a new age of feminine leadership.
                • Why Men long to activate more of the feminine leadership model in their lives.
                • How Jack Canfield, friend, and author of Chicken Soup for The Soul, encouraged Lynne to write her new book almost 20 years after the incredible success of The Soul of Money - which is still to this day is considered one of the most visionary and best-selling books.
                • Living a committed life has inspired and informed Lynne's understanding of what makes ordinary people extraordinary.
                • For people living at this time in history, humanity is being called forth to be the stewards and midwives of the world to come as our systems and structures fall apart - education, governance, health, education, and climate are all in crisis, and the "mess of the world" can be overwhelming. Lynne's antidote is to live what she is calling "a committed life" in service to a purpose larger than yourself.
                • Lynn's book is designed to meet the moment of our time and engage people in stepping more fully into our own lives and to reveal our unique gift that is only ours to give.
                • Why the universe loves commitment, and why the universe loves when we endeavor to do something larger than we feel capable of.
                • What happens to us at a cellular level when we hear someone speak about their commitments?
                • How meeting Buckminster Fuller and hearing his story changed the trajectory of Lynne's life and awakened her at the deepest level.
                • How one ordinary individual can change the world.
                • How most people think of commitment is backward. Rather than being a burden, commitment liberates us and gives us freedom and fulfillment in ways we never thought possible.
                • Hear Lynne Talk about some of her darkest times - times she wanted to give up.
                • Why it's so important that we stay in proximity to suffering, and don't turn away from those who are suffering.
                • Lynne Twist is unstoppable in achieving her commitments, but she does so with humility, open-hearted grace, and ruthless enthusiasm. She is boundlessly generous—with her time, inspiration, and even her own home.

                  She does not distinguish between those deserving of her love and attention and those who are not: all are welcome and appreciated for who they are in her land, and She reigns with love, laughter, and dance, and she loves to celebrate the good in the world.

                  Lynne Twist is a global visionary and activist committed to creating an environmentally sustainable, spiritually fulfilling, and socially just future. She is the co-founder of the Pachamama Alliance, the founder of the Soul of Money Institute, and the author of the bestselling book The Soul of Money, Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Life, and her forthcoming book Living a Committed Life - Finding Freedom and Fulfillment in a Purpose Larger Than Yourself.

                  From working with Mother Teresa in Calcutta to the refugee camps in Ethiopia and the threatened rainforests of the Amazon, as well as guiding the philanthropy of some of the world's wealthiest families, her on-the-ground work has brought her a deep understanding of people's relationship with money and Her breadth of knowledge and experience has led her to profound insights about the social tapestry of the world and the historical landscape of the times we are living in - even coining the phrase for this century as "The Sophia Century" - the century of wisdom.

                  Her compelling stories, life experiences, commitment, and dedication to making a difference astound and inspire me, and her presence and impact on my life have been immeasurable. In full transparency, I've had the honor of being on her digital marketing team for the past few years and have grown immensely in close proximity to her teachings, leadership, and stand for those she serves.

                  In addition to her best-selling, award-winning book "The Soul of Money: Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Life" (W.W. Norton, 2003), which has been translated into nine languages including Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, French, Spanish, German, Japanese, Bulgarian and Portuguese. Lynne has contributed chapters to more than ten books, including:

                    • Episode 150: Megan Jo Wilson and Libby Bunten: REMEMBERING OURSELVES ALIVE Through the Values of the Feminine

                      I think it's safe to say that entrepreneurs and businesswomen are done with antiquated notions of "business as usual."

                      In our journeys as successful female entrepreneurs, we are creating new definitions for what it means to "work" and seeking and creating spaces that give us room to be who we are in both/ and our businesses and lives without all of the striving, overwhelm, and exhaustion.

                      As more women and men awaken to the feminine, we embrace and integrate new modalities, embodiment practices, and tools that enhance our connection to ourselves, each other, and our world.

                      Instead of living from a place of force, we are living from flow and attuning to the messages of our bodies and souls- leaving plenty of space on our calendars to remember our need to rest, regenerate, dance, and play.

                      As more of us lean into our intuition and allow ourselves to be guided by our senses, we learn to include and leverage the gifts we used to suppress and hide. We are expressing and exposing what's outrageous about us because invariably- what is outrageous in us is also the animating spirit of our soul- the unique and vital part that remembers that we are alive!

                      In this episode, Libby and Megan Jo talk about

                      • How each of us starts our day by centering feminine values as we get shit done.
                      • How Megan Jo and Libby became entrepreneurs and how they are leading women to redesign their businesses.
                      • Our new definition of "outrageous" and how it keeps us in a state of creativity.
                      • What is "jiggle therapy," and why loving your thighs will change your life and business!
                      • The difference between clearing emotions and INCLUDING emotions in the boardroom and beyond.
                      • Why the masculine is awesome and the patriarchy sucks for everyone.
                      • Practical ways to extract yourself from the conditioned impulse to "be busy" all the time.
                      • Why we can't continue to separate business from personal.
                      • Why starting your own business is a wonderful roller coaster ride.
                      • Why taking a dance break is a valuable way to express the energy that needs to move.
                      • Why suffering and sacrifice is not a badge of honor and why grind culture deadens us.
                      • Why collaboration is Sexy AF
                      • How to make new rules in business and why women are taking our pleasure to new heights as part of the "business plan."
                      • Why women are no longer manning up.
                      • Why we need to premeditate the magic of taking time off.
                      • Why the tiniest sip of pleasure will always get you through the day.
                      • The pitfalls most women fall into when it comes to business and why we have new radical choices at our fingertips that can change everything.

                        Making and taking space in my business has been the greatest gift that I have given myself and my creative projects, including my podcast!

                        This past summer I took four months off and went to long dreamed of places like Peru, and Scotland and also got to take time to really relax, plan, create and take extended time with family and friends.

                        Sage Polaris has been my inspiration for developing this more spacious way of being and living and I’m experiencing it as a more "feminine way" of leading and balancing my life and business, so I invite you to join me as I explore this concept through several episodes this season.

                        I’ve come to see how depleted I always was and how I had become my own worst boss when it came to my business. I was overwhelmed, uninspired and exhausted all the time, and never felt like I could take time away - which is exactly what we are conditioned to do as business owners and "industrial workers”- especially if you happen to be a generator type in human design.

                        Experts like Sage helped me understand how to automate and streamline my business and help me identify areas where I could use some additional support.

                        Once I began to taste what it felt like to automate certain things, I began to have more space for rest, fun, creativity, and so much more.

                        The big shift for many entrepreneurs is setting the foundation from which they can scale their business. Sage Polaris is one of those professionals who is all about supporting other female entrepreneurs to create thriving a business that takes care of us and provides endless opportunity for rest and regeneration. I’m so excited for you to experience her magic! Listen in to this episode for the secret code to take advantage of a very special offer.

                          Water is life - and in our modern world, we have stripped water of its wisdom and its nourishing and hydrating properties. Without realizing it, we’ve made most of the water we drink highly unstable, chaotic, and incompatible with human life.

                          If this alarms you, then your reaction would be appropriate.

                          In this episode, Isabel Friend shares the truth and the science about water and why it’s so important for our human bodies, our food sources, and our spiritual and mental health to restore the integrity of water and how we can begin to become ambassadors of rewilding water and how we can do this in our homes and in our lives.

                          In this episode, Isabel and I discuss:

                          • The far-reaching intelligence of water and its role in our health and in our lives.
                          • What water has to do with the cosmos and planet earth.
                          • Why most of the water we drink is considered “starving water”
                          • Why wild water is important for health and vitality.
                          • Why water is the key to climate change and energy.
                          • Why 99% of us are dehydrated
                          • How water has the ability to channel information, vibration, and frequency.
                          • How we can create wise, intelligent, and mature water.
                          • Why we are water beings as much as we are human beings.
                          • What is structured water and why should you drink it?
                          • Why Water is the foundation of a unified approach to ecology, politics, medicine, and more
                          • Why wild water is the fountain of youth and how you can tap in.
                          • The significance of transitioning from the age of Pisces (water immersion) to the age of Aquarius (water bearers)?
                          • Isabel Friend is an international ambassador of Water, public speaker, and educator. She seamlessly blends science and spirit into a comprehensive cosmology of Water wisdom.

                            Spanning the practical insights of health, hydration and biology, to empowering tactics for Watershed guardianship and ecological activism, to the esoteric and subtle insights of ancient indigenous Water wisdom, to the heady scientific discoveries of cutting edge Water research, Isabel's offerings are as multifaceted as Water itself.

                            For the past 6 years, she has taught about Water throughout the US, Canada, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Bali, Mexico and Thailand.

                            Water is Life. And as such, water holds the solutions to life's toughest questions. By shifting our relationship to Liquid Life - from resource to THE source - we tap into the vast untapped potential of free energy and boundless wisdom within us and within nature.

                            “Part of what psychedelics do is they decondition you from cultural values. This is what makes it such a political hot potato. Since all culture is a kind of con game, the most dangerous candy you can hand out is one which causes people to start questioning the rules of the game.” - Terence McKenna

                            General Anxiety Disorder (GAD) affects 6.8 million adults or 3.1% of the U.S. population, yet only 43.2% are receiving treatment for it and many of those go on to have long term side effects from various medications that interrupt their normal daily patterns taking a cumulative toll on their lives.

                            Anxiety can range from disabling to mild- and everything in between, but one thing it has in common is that it can impact anyone from all walks of life. In other words, anxiety does not discriminate, and everyone is in full agreement when it comes to it having a negative impact on our quality of life.

                            This was the experience for my next guest who got to the point of preparing herself for what she felt was the inevitable. She just wanted to feel better- even if it resulting in not being here anymore, which led to a remarkable discovery which seemed to reveal itself in the 11th hour- presenting itself as the antidote to her chronic and debilitating anxiety.

                            The Amanita Muscaria Mushroom has long been considered the plant medicine of choice for those who are looking to find relief from the daily toll anxiety takes on their lives and to experience the “universal ONE”, and the many perspectives it’s psycho-active compounds can induce.

                            According to Koryak folklore, the Amanita muscaria mushroom was a “sacred gift” and cultures all over the world have it’s properties for a variety of reasons- With its bright, beautiful appearance and unusual mind-altering properties it’s been threaded through folklore and storytelling for thousands of years. It’s known in ancient oral traditions and also in modern tales,

                            When in Wonderland, Alice eats a mushroom that makes her change in size —though we never get much physical description of it, it’s possible it was inspired by the magical Amanita muscaria. Then of course there is the video game Mario Brothers- Mario eats the red mushroom he turns into his “super form”

                            The Smurfs too live in a red mushroom, and it is always seen as a companion to the fairies and in countless other references made in art and literature.

                            For this reason the Amanita Muscaria is the most iconic and well-known mushroom in the world. It’s been used as decoration, inspiration, and more. With its shining red top speckled with white spots - it’s one of the most recognizable images in the world.

                            Despite being given a bad rap as a distinctly poisonous and toxic plant, the truth is that she is an enigma whose likeness and psychoactive properties have transcended generations and cultures.

                            The Amanita muscaria is more than just a mushroom, it’s a part of our heritage - and a rich and fascinating story of humanity and our relationship to healing and the natural world.
                            I’m honored to have had this conversation! Thank you Amanita Dreamer for your courageous work in the world!

                            • Amanita Dreamer is working to educate about the power of the amanita muscaria mushroom to help with panic and anxiety. After it saved her life withdrawing from prescribed benzodiazapenes, she went on to learn the deeper power in might hold. She learned about time, stress and the detachment from the land and our ancestors that she believes has caused a crisis of anxiety and mental illness. She says this mushroom taught her about the power of ceremony, ritual, and listening to our inner sense of time, rhythm and power. Today she travels, speaks, holds drum ceremony experiences with the mushroom and is filming a documentary about it.
