The Visionary Vortex

I've been yearning to create space on this podcast to broadcast wisdom and support for healing and empowerment that directly addresses the global pandemic, and last week under the Aquarius full moon I felt a fire burning within me that I could no longer ignore. I needed to speak up on what I know to be true from my own journey and how it can support others. My dear sister Comet shared a video on Instagram that day that addressed everything I had been feeling, so clearly, so from the heart, and so I reached out to her to join me on this episode.

There is so much divide happening in the world right now and we want to go beyond that. To share how we use our voices to create unity, without the need to cause harm or conflict. Among all of these potent messages we use our expression to support you to explore:

- Discovering your inner power

- Your expansive potential to create change through your expression

- What it really means to be a channel

- Using your body as a compass to identify black magic media spells 

- Becoming aware of energies and frequencies to change your reality 

- The daily choices you can make to heal yourself and the planet

- The medicine humanity really needs 

- Reclaiming your inner authority

- Shifting your perspective and fear of 'sickness'

While shining light on other dark corners and global issues that many other spiritual leaders are shying away from.

Beth Hilton, more fondly known by the name Comet, is a healer, mentor and spiritual activator with a passion for liberating female leaders to embrace their ultimate power & wisdom within. Comet leads transformational events, ceremonies & retreats supporting women to break free of limiting beliefs and align with their highest joy to cultivate better health, overall life-joy and even financial freedom.

Victoria Redbard is a pioneering leader in sexuality and someone I have journeyed closely with since the beginning of her bringing through her wisdom and expertise at a global scale, with the creation of the Institute of New Paradigm Intimacy - her school teaching her accredited Self Pleasure Modality. She is a force of nature, weaving her vision in deep connection to what is alive and what humanity needs.

Full of passion, power and conviction, she has learned throughout her life what it means to start a revolution from within. One that understands with compassion all experiences and truths that are available to us, trusting in what she feels and what emerges for her moment to moment. 

In this episode we discuss sexuality as a pathway for awakening and returning to our true essence. 

- Creating a revolution through connection to Eros

- The returning of the Temple Arts and why it is important to create a safe space for them to land

- How Self Pleasure is a healing tool that supports us to meet the parts of ourselves that are holding us back from our full potential

- The unconscious distortions we have around sexuality 

- Sexual energy as a source of magic and manifestation 

And more from the mystery...

I've been journeying with the magic of Sigourney Belle's work since early 2019, after meeting her for the first time and interviewing her on embodied business for the New Paradigm Intimacy podcast, which I previously hosted. Being in the energy of her powerfully using her intuition in trust in the mystery provided space for me to experience the same trust and opening to psychic sensitivity within myself. It's potent timing to be sharing her voice on the Visionary Vortex as she is in the process of creating her Academia of Magick and only a couple of months off the ultimate creative experience of giving birth.

In this episode we muse on

- Going back to the memories of your childhood to find your magic 

- Her journey from working the medical field to facilitating global trainings on intuition and embodiment

- Moving through the mental and emotional challenges that come with awakening to psychic sensitivity

- Intuitively and respectfully working with plant medicines 

- Discovering your own ancestral wisdom

- Why magic practices are integral to our evolution

- Her visions and predictions of where humanity is heading in the coming years 

And more inspiring and activating threads of wisdom from her experience and research.

We're in a time where the world is waking up and beginning to question the mainstream media. Today's guest Tiffany Rouge and I began this questioning from the inside out, both of us having come from careers in media and having the experience of the environment disheartening us and creating a lacklustre view of realty. Perhaps you've experienced this yourself - are you curious why mainstream media is focused on negativity? Do you want to know whether it can be trusted as truth? 

Join us in this conversation as we share what we learned from our journeys and discuss our visions for the way we consume and share media today and in future. 

Tiffany is an award-winning radio announcer turned podcaster who helps conscious business owners share their message to the world. She is a multi-passionate entrepreneur whose mission is to spread the positivity that we need more of in this world because change stems from 1 positive conversation into positive change.

So I've decided to host a creative expression retreat during a pandemic - why? You may ask. Is that not self indulgent? Ignorant? The way I see it is it's exactly the medicine what the world needs right now, women in particular.

I want to speak to why Awakening My Creatress has profoundly shifted my life and brought me into connection with love, joy and excitement during a time of great uncertainty.

I muse on the idea, inspired by Elizabeth Gilbert - that "if we are actively creating something then we are actively destroying something" and how I have journeyed this experience. 

I speak about the inspiration behind my retreat and share a spoken word poetry piece with you.

If you feel you are not creative, or that you love creativity but feel it's a waste of time you need this episode.

If you are identify as a woman and live in Australia, then join me for AWAKEN YOUR CREATRESS - a four day creative immersion and nature retreat in Northern NSW next month. Details and application here - laurenreneeintimacy.com/awaken-your-creatress/

The first half of 2021 I lived full time in my van 'Rosie the Slutty Supanova'. What made this experience exponentially better was having my soul sister Abbey Formosa along with me on the adventure, who had chosen the van life not long before me. 

We're both one of those humans that are just designed to move around, so this lifestyle was very appealing to us for the freedom aspect. What we didn't anticipate were the daily challenges and rebirth process that this lifestyle demands of you. 

It's certainly not to be fetishised by the #vanlife Instagram version. This is not freedom porn. This is an initiation into what it means to truly live in connection and harmony with life. 

Whether you live in a van, want to live in a van, or are one of those who feel they could never do it, we share how you can embrace the wisdom of vanlife in your everyday life for your own growth, expansion and thriving. 

Abbey is a holistic health coach, intuitive healer and author of Becoming, 13 Insights to a Gen Z Awakening. You can follow her on Instagram @abbeyformosa and learn more about her offerings at abbeyformosa.com.

This incredible spirit medium came into my life in completely spirit-led way. I was living in my van at the time and went to friend's on the Sunshine Coast to stay while I was waiting for a mechanical issue to get fixed. She has booked a session with Eliza - who usually live in the Northern Rivers and happened to be visiting in the area only 10 minutes away. I booked a session as well, and it turned out she needed someone to interview her for her Youtube channel series. Intrigued and amazed by her I decided to record for this podcast and well, it's everything you could anticipate and more.

We explore...

- Making an impact through joy

- Evolution through simplicity

- What are starseeds and lightworkers, why they exist on Earth and how to know if you are one

- The aliens we are waiting for in 2021

- Understanding your unique gift to the world

- Finding your purpose through connection to the Earth

+ A live channelled interview with spirit on relationships, intimacy and healing between masculine/feminine

The first time I met Virginia Salas Kastilio was at a community event in Bali in 2019. She radiated a loving grace, power and warmth and I instantly felt like I wanted to know her and connect with her. Turns out this is one of her superpowers - bringing together amazing humans through her Humans I Trust community. Being welcomed into Humans I Trust and getting to know Virginia through some of the most incredible, fun and transformative experiences I've ever had played a core part in supporting me on my path of self-discovery, refining my vision and opening me up to see how fun making an impact on humanity can be. 

In this episode we connect over...

- Her journey of choosing to live everyday in her highest joy for the past four years

- How she manifested living in a collaborative castle to create a new age Hogwarts during global lockdown

- The value and impact of authentically sharing your life with others through education and entertainment

- Coming back to inspiring humanity and being yourself on social media and in business

- How we are conditioned to not feel worthy of pursuing our creative dreams and being in our true essence

- Reviving play, love and joy to move beyond old paradigm business structures and create the New Earth

- Finding the trust in letting our creativity lead the way

- Magnetism through clearly communicating your vision and asking for the wildest things you want

- Intimacy and relationships to awaken full self expression and transformation

This Scorpio full moon felt so big that we couldn't wait for the new moon for another forecast! Octavia and I sat down for a late night candle-lit chat to delve into the watery depths of finding the beauty in the underworld and redefining our relationship to the dark, plus all the cosmic movements that are shifting us into a more receptive energy this week. 

Based in Byron Bay, Octavia offers Tarot and Astrology readings aimed toward personal empowerment.

The readings support the process of reclaiming sovereignty through deep inquiry and connection to personal genius, and mirror the ancient embodied wisdom we each carry within.
