The Revelation Project

"I’m not the guy who has got it all figured out. During the Covid pandemic, I had the opportunity once again to face an inner and outer unraveling. For months at a time, I experienced a paralyzing despondency borne of the calamity I saw overtaking society: the very Age of Separation I had been proclaiming, for years, to be nearing an end. Instead, it was reaching new extremes. At the same time, my critiques of the social response to the pandemic brought intense criticism, denunciation, and canceling, including from people whom I’d considered to be deep, trusted allies. Maybe, I thought, it is I who has gone mad, not the world. This is the question, the doubt that paralyzed me. I tell the story of these years in my most recent book, The Coronation.

I know that my books and other work come from a deep, inspired source, but that source is not me! It is more like I’m connecting to a field of knowledge or to a story that wants to be told. This knowledge is as much my teacher as it is anyone else’s. I’m kind of ordinary, compared to some of the amazing people I keep meeting. I’m just as much in the learning as anyone else, wandering as best I can toward “the more beautiful world my heart knows is possible,” encumbered by the programming and the wounds of our civilization."

I always say that the Universe has a wonderful sense of humor, and if it’s true that we create our own reality, then I’m so glad my reality includes neighbors like Charles Eisenstein and his wife, Stella.

I had been following Charles's work for a couple of years and more intensely when the pandemic happened because so much of what he was speaking about made so much sense to me. Then I saw him publicly denounced and canceled by the same community that once embraced and celebrated him, and I thought, surely I must be losing my mind.

At the height of my despondency, I also suffered detox symptoms from recently having mercury removed from my mouth. A dear friend suggested I see a woman named Stella, who had recently moved to the area. I began seeing Stella at her home office, and we seemed to develop an effortless friendship in just a few sessions. While I knew she lived there with her husband and child, I was unaware for several more weeks that I was actually in the home of the very person whose work I was immersed in and sharing with as many people as I thought might listen. Amazing, right?

I had sent my same friend who had referred me to Stella a recent essay from a series by Charles called The Coronation , knowing she would appreciate his mind and heart. It wasn’t until I saw this friend a few days later that she alerted me to the synchronicity, revealing that I had been treated for the mercury detox by his wife!

Flabbergasted, I returned to Stellas for an appointment and told her the story, only to have Charles walk through the door and extend his hand in a warm greeting.

Mind. Blown. Well-played, Universe. Well-played.

“We do not create our destiny; we participate in its unfolding. Synchronicity works as a catalyst toward the working out of that destiny.” -David Richo

In this episode, you’ll get a glimpse of why I am such a fan of Charles and his work. In addition to being incredibly accessible, his revelations are filled with humanity, humility, and love.

You’ll hear about this time in human civilization from another perspective as we shift and transform toward creating a new story. At this time, we are in what Charles calls “the space between stories,” and humanity has an opportunity to reimagine the world - the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible.

*Charles Eisenstein is an American public speaker, author, and essayist. *

His work covers a wide range of topics, including the history of human civilization, economics, spirituality, and the ecology movement. Key themes explored include anti-consumerism, interdependence, and how myth and narrative influence culture. According to Eisenstein, global culture is immersed in a destructive "story of separation," and one of the main goals of his work is to present an alternative "story of interbeing." Much of his work draws on ideas from Eastern philosophy and the spiritual teachings of various indigenous peoples. Eisenstein has been involved in the Occupy, New Economy, and permaculture movements. His new book is coming out this summer: The Coronation.

The only relationship we need to develop is the one with ourselves. When we have a healthy relationship with ourselves, all others are just an enhancement to our lives.

Chemistry is important to me, as are relationships. I usually conduct what I call “chemistry calls” before I agree to interview a guest on the podcast. Pat and I had some chemistry. I immediately fell in love with her accent, authenticity, and humor. So much that 90 minutes later, we were still gabbing away.

I loved our conversation. Pat is both wise and hysterical! She’s taken menopause into a whole new realm making it much more adventurous and accessible for women ready to experience this rite of passage through another lens.

Pat approaches this subject differently, revealing to women what an honor it is and a positive rite of passage vs. the signaling of negative things to come.

She enjoyed a 30-year career in the British Civil Service, becoming a Director in a major Department. She has written five books on women’s health in midlife.

I hope you enjoy this moving and provocative interview on Mother Daughter healing with Sara and Charlotte Vetter.

I became aware of the mother wound in my life at an early age but had no idea how common it was. It was not until I viewed my relationships through a patriarchal lens that I was able to see more clearly how this dynamic is established and then passed down through the generations.

I think this is a subject that’s critically important and is finally being revealed. I am deeply grateful for the love and liberation modeled in this episode between these two beautiful women because this work takes so much courage and self-reflection. I’m honored they trusted me to facilitate the interview- it was a gift to witness.

As a female entrepreneur, until I learned the practice of self-care, I was always burning the midnight oil and highly susceptible to being sick and overwhelmed with anxiety and racing thoughts.

Throw in motherhood and my monthly menstrual cycles, and my life became absolute chaos!

When I look back, it can really make me sad to realize how disconnected I was from my body, its cycles, and the important conversations that are neglected in our culture as it pertains to women, our health, and our access to different aspects of ourselves based on where we are in our moon cycles as well as the seasons of our lives.

In this episode, Coco Groothuis and I talk about re-learning what it means to be a modern woman in the world by remembering the wisdom of our bodies, our cycles, and how to sync our own rhythms to the natural rhythms of mother earth and the seasons.

Listen in as Coco shares how she began to draw from these practices and has built upon them to help other women live and work in ways that could support and nourish vs. undermine and deplete. She coaches women with tools and theories that help us amplify our gifts by honoring our bodies' cycles and messages and by shifting from time to energy management.

Coco also shares additional revelations she’s had through her pregnancy and the deeper wisdom her body gives her access to as she gets closer to being a first-time mother.

In this episode:

Coco grew up in Haarlem (The Netherlands) and runs her consulting business from her current hometown of Ijmuiden. She has a clear vision for the future. In this, she sees a major role for female entrepreneurs, who, through their natural gift to connect and create unity, build mutual business structures that embrace inclusiveness, diversity, and sustainability. She helps soul-driven female entrepreneurs to do business cyclically, according to their natural rhythm.

She has discovered my own natural flow through years of research and experimenting, feeling what works and what doesn’t, and following the natural cycles of ebb and flow. This allowed her to finally work and live in a new, healthy, structured way. This was when she developed the course FROM TIME MANAGEMENT TO ENERGY MANAGEMENT. In this course, she combines different tools and theories from working with the seasons, the Bullet Journal Method, and the moon's rhythm with her personal experience coaching individual entrepreneurs.

Talking to Vanessa Chakour about her book Awakening Artemis was a joy! We discuss how we are not separate from nature or exempt from the natural world. How our survival is dependent on this interconnected nature with plants, animals, and fungi with whom we share ecosystems and exchange intellectual ideas.

I can not express how much I loved this book, her writing, and the lessons explained in it. She shares why it was important to process personal traumas and write them into these stories to share with others. (I might have fangirled hard over her book.)
