What if love, resonance, and political courage were not separate conversations, but facets of the same underlying reality?

In this new episode of The Rose Woman Podcast, Christine welcomes back philosopher, environmental lawyer, and homesteader Tamlyn (Tam) M. Hunt to explore how consciousness, AI, renewable energy, and tropical panpsychism all meet in a single resonance-based view of the world. From Hawaii’s ʻāina to the AI tsunami, from back-to-the-land experiments to a “resonance model of politics,” they trace how a deeper understanding of consciousness might change the way we do policy, leadership, and love itself.

Tamlyn M. Hunt applies a unique blend of expertise in different but related fields to lead discussions on big picture trends. Tamlyn's decades of work as an environmental lawyer focused on renewable energy law and policy have given him tools to frame the necessary conversations on how we can make wise changes.

Coupled with his academic work in philosophy, spirituality, and cognitive science, Tamlyn explores how we can use a deeper understanding of consciousness to relate to ourselves and our world in a more beneficial way.

Through his work as a writer, scholar, and speaker, Tamlyn seeks to bridge connections across the gap between science and spirit. He is co-developer of the General Resonance Theory of consciousness, with Prof. Jonathan Schooler, and has published a number of peer-reviewed articles fleshing out the details of this rigorous approach to the study of consciousness.

Tamlyn is also a novelist, working on his second novel, Leilani, set on the Big Island of Hawaii where he has lived since 2016.

Listen in as Christine and Tam follow the thread from “it’s all vibrations, man” to the AI reckoning, resilience politics, and ontological loveand invite you to feel how “the many become one and are increased by one” in your own life.

When a broken heart turns into a blueprint, one woman can quietly change the fate of thousands. In this episode, Christine sits down with Sister Lucy Kurien, the visionary founder of Maher (“Mother’s Home”), an interfaith, caste-free network of homes for women, children, and men in India. 

Called to Serve

Sister Lucy Kurien was born in 1956 in Kolayad, Kannur District, Kerala, India. After several years of formal education, at age 14 she moved to Mumbai, where she was profoundly distressed by the appalling poverty and squalor in the city. Having carried a strong inner desire for justice since childhood, she felt a deep calling to make a difference in the lives of the poor and famished around her. In 1980, she joined Sisters of the Cross, a religious order. It was a difficult decision that meant giving up the bliss of an independent and free life. After 4 years of training, she was professed to the order.

The Birth of Maher

Sister Lucy started Maher activities in a small home in Vadhu Budruk, near Bhima Koregaon on the Ahmednagar highway. Her tireless efforts and the work of the dedicated staff led to the expansion of Maher activities to nearby areas. These include the villages in Shirur, Haveli and Khed talukas, as well as the city of Ratnagiri, Miraj & Satara in Maharashtra. Beyond Maharashtra, Maher has established homes in Kerala, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Karnataka, Bihar and Andhra Pradesh. In 2011, unable to ignore the plight of abandoned men on the streets, Maher opened its first home for destitute, aged, and mentally challenged men. Today Maher reaches the life of the poorest of the poor through as many as 25 different outreach projects, including 672 village self-help groups and 75 interfaith, caste-free homes that currently shelter 996 children and 292 men and over 798 destitute women. Since its founding, Maher has provided care and shelter for more than 6200 children, 6,500 women, and 850 men.

In this conversation, you’ll hear how Sister Lucy transforms heartbreak into practical compassion—turning love into food, shelter, education, mental health care, and long-term dignity.

Press play to hear Sister Lucy’s extraordinary story and what it truly means to be “the medicine and refuge” in a hurting world—and if her work moves you, please donate to Maher. Your listening amplifies her message; your giving helps keep “Mother’s Home” open for those who have nowhere else to turn.

In a world that never turns the lights off, what happens when you willingly choose complete, uninterrupted dark? 

Joining us for today’s conversation is Meghan Elfsten. She is the Director of OMYA Dark Retreats, a California Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT), and holds a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology. She is completing her Somatic Experiencing® training in September 2026 and facilitates immersive dark retreat experiences designed to support nervous system regulation, deep restoration, and inner reconnection. Rooted in Somatic Experiencing®, her work weaves mindfulness, relational awareness, and body-based practices to gently unwind patterns of trauma, addiction, and chronic overstimulation in a way that feels more womb-like than punishing.

Drawing from her own life-changing time in extended darkness, Meghan became deeply devoted to the question: What becomes possible when we remove all external stimulation and finally listen to the body? At OMYA Dark Retreats, she now creates highly supported, trauma-aware containers where participants can safely turn inward, meet long-buried parts of themselves, and access deeper layers of emotional and embodied healing—without plant medicine, performance, or spiritual bypass.

If you feel the pull toward the dark, Meghan is offering 20% off for our listeners at darkcaves.life with the code ROSEWOMAN at checkout.

What happens when the “perfect Christian wife” decides her life belongs to her after all? In this episode of The Rose Woman Podcast, Christine sits down with Tia Levings, New York Times bestselling author of A Well-Trained Wife and I Belong to Me: A Survivor’s Guide to Recovery and Hope after Religious Trauma. Tia writes and speaks about the realities of religious trauma, evangelical patriarchy, and the trad wife life, decoding the fundamentalist influences in our news and culture; her work and quotes have appeared in Teen Vogue, Salon, Newsweek, the Huffington Post, and the hit Amazon docu-series Shiny Happy People. Together, Christine and Tia explore how high-control religion shapes women’s bodies, marriages, motherhood, aging, and even our politics, why the trad wife aesthetic is so seductive right now, what happens when adult children step away from the faith of their families, and how to slowly rebuild a sense of self, boundaries, and spirituality on your own terms. Based in Raleigh, North Carolina, Tia is mom to four grown kids and, when she’s not writing or speaking, she loves to travel, hike, paint, and daydream. If you’ve ever felt confined by an ideology, a relationship, or a role you were told to play, this conversation offers language, validation, and a gentle map back to yourself.

In this episode, we cover so many topics, including:

• (00:00:35): Who Is Tia Levings, And Why Religious Trauma Matters

Xavi Ginesta built Voxel into the world leader in B2B travel payments, then sold it to chase a different question entirely: who are we, really? In this conversation, he traces the arc from conscious capitalism to The Festival of Consciousness, from his book Humanitas with the mystic Sergi Torres to a research practice on the future of human potential. At the center is a deceptively simple claim — that the scarcity mindset sets a ceiling on everything we can become, that love is the actual driver of the universe, and that the only way past the ceiling is the inner work no decision can shortcut. Christine and Xavi move through altered states, and the limits of the senses, the brain as receiver rather than generator, a clear-eyed critique of transhumanism, and a practical invitation to let the heart lead and the mind execute.

In this episode, we cover so many topics, including:

• (00:00:00) Introduction to Xavi: The Festival of Consciousness, Voxel and Humanitas
• (00:04:47) Xavi’s Business Journey And The Birth Of Voxel
• (00:09:11) Creating The Festival Of Consciousness And Finding Joy

What happens when we stop choosing sides between light and shadow, masculine and feminine, right and wrong—and instead stand in a sacred third space?

Meet Elayne Kalila Doughty, MA, MFT, a priestess‑psychotherapist whose life’s work is reclaiming the divine feminine and midwifing women into their full, unapologetic power. She is an ordained priestess and focalizer of both the 13 Moon Mystery School and the Rosa Mystica Mystery School, and has been on a path of passionate service for the past thirty years, inspiring women around the world to unleash their leadership gifts and step into their full potential.

Elayne is also the Dean and Founder of the Priestess Presence School of the Sacred Arts + Temple, a modern mystery school that serves a sisterhood of over 100,000 women worldwide. She trains, initiates, and ordains women as modern‑day priestesses, ceremonialists, and powerful feminine leaders in all walks of life and professions. Her work specializes in helping women tap into their deepest wisdom and harness their own transformational power so they can be more effective and whole in every aspect of their lives.

In this conversation, you’ll hear about Magdalene consciousness, internal alchemy, and the “noble masculine” now stepping into the room, as well as Elayne’s work with women in perimenopause and menopause, which she frames not as decline but as a second becoming.

Something in us already knows the Mother is larger than any religion, and Perdita Finn helps us remember why.

Welcome to our episode with Perdita Finn, a writer and teacher whose work opens a living dialogue with the dead, the unseen, and the more-than-human world.

Perdita Finn is the author of Take Back the Magic: Conversations with the Unseen World, Mothers of Magic: Summoning the Wisdom of Our Ancestors, and, with her husband Clark Strand, The Way of the Rose: The Radical Path of the Divine Feminine Hidden in the Rosary.

Step into this one with your whole body, not just your ears.

On this episode of The Rose Woman Podcast, we’re joined by someone who lives right at the crossroads of soul, sexuality, and science: Eva Clay. She isn’t here to offer cliché “tips and tricks” — she’s here to invite you into a deeper, more intelligent relationship with your own pleasure, power, and aliveness.

Eva is an acclaimed somatic psychotherapist, sexologist, speaker, and founder of the Institute of Intimacy Arts. Grounded in both clinical rigor and embodied practice, her work focuses on the integration of soul, sexuality, and science. A former professor of neuropsychology, she brings a sophisticated understanding of the brain, nervous system, and human intimacy, offering a clear perspective that intelligence and eros are fundamentally intertwined.

She’s guided thousands of people toward deeper embodiment, relational capacity, and access to pleasure and vitality. Rooted in somatic science and over two decades of training in classical and sexual tantra, her work invites a return to sensation, truth, and aliveness. She creates spaces where the nervous system can soften, guarded patterns can release, and satisfying intimacy can emerge.

Eva has a particular passion for guiding women in the midlife portal to claim agency, power and pleasure.

If you’re curious about what it really means to live erotically awake—beyond performance, beyond pathology, and beyond old stories—this conversation is for you.

Listen in and let this be an invitation back to your own sensation, truth, and wild, sovereign aliveness.

What does it really mean to lead when the world feels like it’s on fire-when the news cycle, the climate, the culture, and even our own nervous systems feel stretched past capacity? In this episode of The Rose Woman Podcast, we’re asking a deeper question beneath all the conversations about performance, productivity, and “resilience”: What kind of inner life does it take to stay human, sensitive, and sane while holding responsibility for others?

Since 2005, Amy Elizabeth Fox has served as one of the founders and Chief Executive Officer of Mobius Executive Leadership, a global transformational leadership firm. For the last twenty years, she has served as a leadership and culture change advisor to eminent professional services firms and Fortune 500 companies and facilitated immersive executive development programs for senior leaders.

Mobius offers top team intervention, business mediation, executive coaching, and personal mastery programs, all aimed at unlocking potential and building deeper trust, intimacy, and change agility within a company’s top tier. Mobius also sponsors a professional development arm for maturing transformational practitioners called the Next Practice Institute and has an e-learning arm entitled Mobius Touch.

Amy is considered an expert in healing individual, family, and collective trauma and has been a pioneer in introducing trauma-informed development and psycho-spiritual principles into leadership programs.  

If you’re curious about how leadership, trauma healing, and spiritual practice can actually belong in the same sentence, you’ll want to lean into this one. Settle in, listen to the full conversation
