Join us as we check in with Robin Liepman, aka Bloomurian, from Boulder, Colorado. He is a community oriented visionary music producer weaving together deep, grounded beats with mystical frequencies. With roots in music through his parents, a passion for permaculture and years of collaboration in the Ecstatic Dance and global festival scenes, Bloom has built a dynamic career spanning music production, event organization, and transformative retreats.

From creating Ecstatic Ecosystems—featuring our collaboration Weightless—to leading permaculture days of action, sound production retreats and many dynamic events, Bloomurian is a true bridge between Earth and ethereal realms. We explore his journey through plant medicines, indigenous wisdom, local and international festival performances, and sharing stages with legends like Desert Dwellers, Poranguí, Dirtwire, Beats Antique, Ott and more. 

Tune in for an inspiring conversation on artistry, community, and the fusion of organic instrumentation, cutting edge beats and psychedelic soundscapes.

A truly riveting conversation with Justin Leslie, a former Pfizer scientist turned whistleblower. Justin candidly shares his experience infiltrating the pharmaceutical giant, detailing his initial skepticism and the challenges he faced while uncovering and documenting disturbing truths. 

We delve into the complexities of navigating a world awash in misinformation, fake news, and "conspiracy theories,” some of which are anything but theoretical. He also goes into great detail about the journalistic deceit and betrayal by the leader of Project Veritas, an alternative news organization that Justin hoped would share his shocking exposé with the world.

Justin's journey highlights the difficulty of discerning truth from deception and the importance of maintaining hope in the face of global corruption and manipulation. Ultimately, confronting the harsh reality that deeply held beliefs might be false, and that many global organizations are built on a foundation of greed and lies, is a crucial step towards personal and societal growth.

To conclude the chat, Niko shares the philosophies that inspire his art and life.

Enjoy and keep an eye and ear out for his cutting-edge music here on Spotify.

I really enjoyed this authentic convo with Santa Cruz, CA native, Heather Christie. She is a cutting-edge human, wife, mama, facilitator, teacher and artist that gives herself permission to explore wherever her artistic inspiration takes her. Daughter of Deadheads, she was inspired by the uplifting, trancey vibe that the psychedelic jam music and community imprinted on her. She has a genre-shifting attitude that makes her embodied, “Livetronica” brand and performances original, accesible and dynamic. 

On the podcast, we dug into her big “why” behind art and we also cover the more recent development of moving out of the fear of having to either choose music or motherhood to her current, “both/and” mentality. Via her music, Möonbabe Records and Mind Body Music ventures, she is rewriting the “Womanual” of navigating music and motherhood at the same time.
