Under the Bodhi Tree

What an epic episode!

This week I have Prisca on the show and she is just fantastic. We walk around our current society that has been created as a byproduct of colonialism

and the fetishization of the rational mind. We pick apart the hidden and covert conditioning that has programed the way we perceive reality and

how we interact with our neighbors, seeing them as competitors in them most basic sense; and we dream of a world where the underpinning beliefs

of our culture, produce harmony and mutual, symbiotic relationships

Prisca's intellectual vigor is so exciting as she gives a down to earth and grounded tone to the abstract and sometimes chaotic crisis that our world and culture are facing, and after this conversation I feel a great deal of hope for our species and our planet.

Come join us on our playful and earthy adventure, through the life and times of humans on planet earth

Under the Bodhi Tree

With love

Alright!

Another round of relating

In this episode, we're going on a journey of self-discovery and transformation as we delve deep into the world of Non-Possessive Relating. In previous episodes we've explored different relational structures, such as polyamory or non-monogamy, but this episode we'll actually be looking at the essence of the relational field, even below the models. I'll be your guide as we explore the core principles, practical insights, and the impact of learning to let go of the onese we love.

Whether you're looking to strengthen existing bonds or forge new connections, this episode offers a unique opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of this groundbreaking approach to human relationships. So, join me as we sit together under the bodhi tree and embark on a journey of personal growth and relational evolution.

With love, and a big open heart

Wow wow wow,

What a summer it has been, a full on season at Angsbacka in Sweden. 

This week well dive into the the shadows of serving and how easy it can be to serve from an empty cup. What does it mean to honor my own boundaries while giving to others, so that my gifts are pure and free from resentment.

We'll dive into boundaries in general and what its like to be in a position when someone is telling me that I've crossed their boundaries, or have done something that they don't like. How do I wanna show up in that conversation?

These are some themes we'll explore in this round!

Hope you love it!

Catch you on the flip side!

Welcome back! (for a bit :)

This week we're getting into the world of self pleasure. We unpack the joy, the shame, the grief and the confusion around self pleasure and masturbation. This topic has been a huge one in my life, in the search for new ways to love myself but few role models to support me in healthy self love practices. Im hoping this weeks sharing will support anyone who listens, to open their mind up to the potential of cultivating a unique and playful self pleasure practice.

So if you've ever masturbated (which is like...every single human) and are looking to expand your self love practice in new, creative ways. Check out this episode and if you're even more curious listening, then click here to check out the self pleasure course I recently created. (It's totally free and will hopefully support everyone in their journey in deep connection with their erotic being)

This week I've got Kimmana Nichols on the show, he's the co-founder of the school ThaiVedic, an old teacher, mentor, and friend. 

Kim and I open the box of Ayurveda and the 5 element model of viewing our day to day life, in order to become more connected to our inner worlds. With a strong attunement to our inner voice and the support of our mind we are able to make decisions that support the health of our body, our community and the planet.

Disease through the Ayurvedic lens
"the repeated neglect of listening to one's intuition"

Join Kim and I to train our intuitive listening, our Thai massage practice, and our space holding capabilities, supported by the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda.

This week I'm taking some time to reflect and harvest on these last couple weeks at Tamera, a research center and eco-village in Portugal that holds many research topics, one of which being the intersection of freedom and love. Through my own experiential bath into this communities culture, I came away with a couple of profound insights. I'd love to share some of these with you this week. We dive into a couple of core topics around communal living and how that impacts love relationships. We explore how to create a field of trust between people and what is the value of trust. Lastly we open up the topic of self dismantling and what it means to step out of who you think you are. This one is a beautiful summary of a very rich period of time and I'm so excited to share with with you all!

Hey hey!

This week we have an epic episode (just like every week :)) 

I've got Kamran Novin on the show this week and we're talking about money. Now we really aren't talking about money if I'm honest, we're talking about energy and the soul of money. We talk about magic and perspective and life force and sexuality and circle around money as an anchor point. How does magic relate to money? What really is money? We pick apart the framework to begin to see other ways to go about relating to the river of money and learn how to dip our bowl in and how to trust the abundant life that unravels before us. 

So happy to have you on the show my man.

Thanks for listening everyone!
big hug, little hug

So TRIGGER warning...we're talking about sex toys and sexuality this week. This might bring up some discomfort...it totally might not...just giving you a heads up so that you can feel into whats right for you :)

Amazing, so recently I had a deeply powerful ayuhuasca journey that shined a light on perhaps an unconscious belief or pattern running in my background. This was connected to shame and rejection of some aspects of my masculinity, as i have seen so much pain and damage caused by the patriachy and ultimately an imbalanced yang or masculine energy. This week ill tell a story about an experience i had in a sex shop that lead me down a deep corridor of a deeper acceptance and love of my male genitalia and seeing my cock as the gift that it truly is

hope it resonantes with you male or female bodied humans and im sending a big hug to all those genitalia out there who just wanna be loved by their owners. (obviously this is metaphorical and im not actually coming to hug your genitalia...thats an invitation for you)

Love you love you!
See you next week!

Hey ladies and gentlemen and everyone inbetween! 

We're back! The show is back! Whaaa waaa??

OK sooo this week we have a super inspiring dive with Elia De Matteis who is in a living research experiment of living in a gift based world. He has given away his possessions and his agendas in devotion to giving up (at least for now) a transaction based life. He has devoted himself to life and has invited giving and receiving to come through him, rather than from him.

What does this look like? Well, listen to the show and youll hear some of his fun, challenging and awe inspiring adventures where we reveal the subtleties of giving from the heart and receiving from the heart in a moment by moment life.

is it possible to live in a world where we trust each other and give without conditions?

thanks for you exploration Elia. Ive loved our inspiring discussions and i super appreciate both your outlook on life, but also your courageous embodiment of your values.

big hug to you and to...well, the whole world while we're at it

thanks for listening everyone!
