The Wild Within

Episode 11: Today's episode is a fun one: I'm coming to you from a significant moment in the past.... just a week into the chaos of the pandemic hitting the global scene in mid-March. 

I'm recording this episode with Jen Cannon, my retreat partner, several days after we wrapped up our Awaken the Magic Retreat in Ubud, Bali on March 20 – which at the time truly felt like the Retreat At The End Of The World. 

We jam on our experience of running a collective event just the world was falling into isolation - and all we learned about authentic leadership, the power of a conscious collective, taking aligned action, surrendering to uncertainty and transformation, and 

• How to be a leader in these uncertain times
• The power of our retreat collective and their commitment to tapping into their authentic selves
• How these times are bringing us into greater states of vulnerability and depth
• The power of a conscious collective during times of uncertainty 
• Using community to transmute fear
• How having an aligned community can strengthen your worldview 
• Thriving versus resting in quarantine (...we had noooo idea!) 
• Walking the middle path between rest and fire 
• How quarantine is a time to see who we really are 
• Forced grounding and finding inspiration in stillness 
• Alignment versus Action (and why both are important!)  
• Focused action (with alignment) versus scattered action  
• Empowering each other with centeredness and service in these times 
• Leadership and vulnerability 
• Dealing with impostor syndrome as a leader - and transmuting it thru service 
• Humanizing our spiritual practice (and career)  

Ep. 9: Huachuma Cactus (or San Pedro as it is often known) is a magical and deeply healing plant medicine that I've been working with here in Peru. In this episode, I sat down with Sergey Baranov, founder of Huachuma Wasi, a healing center in the Sacred Valley, to talk about his journey with the medicine, what led him on the shamanic path, and the healing medicine of Huachuma that has the power to truly change the lives of those who meet it.

We dive into: 

• Sergey's relentless quest for spiritual meaning in early life
• The power of following the deep soul calling to our purpose
• What brought Sergey onto the shamanic path to medicine work
• The healing power of psychedelic medicines
• What distinguishes plant medicine from other forms of psychedelics 
• The importance of experience over solely empirical research
• How Huachuma stands out among plant medicines
• The magical nature of plant spirits and how they can help us heal
• Finding your own truth and inner compass within
• How to find an aligned guide for medicine work
• How the Cactus House came to be 
• Sergey's guidance on how to best work with Huachuma medicine

Episode 6: I recorded this episode from Lake Atitlan in Guatemala, a place with one of the most potent spiritual energies I've ever experienced. A stream-of-consciousness jam on what it means to focus our life on being instead of doing (as we are so conditioned through life to focus on the latter!)

Ep. 4: Do you believe that your intelligence, skills, and talents are static and fixed – or do you perceive your abilities in a growth-oriented, dynamic way?
