Nadia Ramo invites us into the living ecosystem of her healing arts practice—one rooted in reciprocity, embodied listening, and a sincere relationship with the more-than-human world. Through her words, a vision of health emerges that is not merely the absence of illness, but a process of realignment with the deeper intelligence of Nature.

We explore Nadia’s healing philosophy, including her unique weaving of Indigenous and Chinese medicine traditions, and how she draws insight from the meta-patterns of the natural world. She shares her personal journey of navigating serious health diagnoses, choosing to side-step the dominant biomedical model and instead listen more deeply—to her intuition, her body, and the Earth.

Together, we examine the language of symptoms, the medicine of perception, and the sacrifices often asked of us when turning toward the wildness of the living world. Through stories and potent reflections, Nadia speaks to the magic of healing as a relational act—one grounded in reverence, courage, and deep communication with the plant nations of Earth.

“What we’re looking at here is a way of being on this planet, in this universe, that recognizes our deep interconnectedness with everything in nature and gives respect to the sentience of everything, from a rock to an ant to the wind.”

Wahinkpe Topa invites us into a way of being that is rooted in kinship, reverence, and the recognition of the living intelligence of all things. Drawing from personal experience, Indigenous wisdom, and years of healing work—including hypnosis, regression therapy, and ceremony—he illuminates both the spiritual and practical dimensions of restoring our relationship with Earth and Spirit.

We explore his near-death experience and what it revealed about the nature of spirit and embodiment, as well as his groundbreaking work with hypnotic communication in life-saving situations. Along the way, Wahinkpe Topa contrasts Indigenous and dominant worldviews, offering reflections on reincarnation, self-hypnosis, and the role of fear as a transformative ally.

At the heart of this episode is a call to reclaim a kinship-based identity—one that recognizes the sacredness and sentience of the rock, the ant, the wind—and moves through the world with love, humility, and courage. Wahinkpe Topa shares stories that embody this worldview, including his time at Standing Rock and a powerful framework (CAT-FAWN) for living with integrity in troubled times.

We close with a timely invocation to redefine hope—not as the guarantee of an outcome, but as devotion to right action in service of Life.

“As I reflect on this past year, I’m struck by the gifts that have emerged—not only through conversations with remarkable guests, but also in the quieter, more intimate corners of my own heart. It’s been a year of deep remembering—of stretching into new territories of thought, feeling, and connection, and of surrendering to the questions.”

“Reclaiming evolution is a submission to Life, a submission to the will that is greater than our own.”

— Jordi Lydia

.

.

In this conversation with Jordi, we explore reclaiming evolution—not as a march of linear ‘progress’ towards ‘perfection’, but as a revitalizing of deep-time presence and an embodied relationship with Life’s intelligence. She invites us into the vitality of unlearning, surrendering to a will greater than our own, and metabolizing grief in ways that nourish renewal.

We discuss the influence of media and technology on perception, the responsibility of consuming and creating with awareness, and the role of life-centric leadership in a time of change and trouble. Through Jordi’s lens, reclaiming evolution is both personal and collective—calling us to immerse in the elements, cultivate real human connection, and remember the creative brilliance within us.

Jordi also shares the inspiration behind creating Reclaiming Evolution, an immersive festival designed to foster deep connection and community through experiential workshops and artistry.

In the second half of the episode, Jordi flips the mic and interviews me for her festival’s companion podcast, continuing the conversation on communion, creativity, community, and the wild, heartfelt path that may lead us toward a more rooted, reverent, and regenerative future as we reclaim evolution together.

“We need to restore Earth systems patterns and relationships through bioregional organizing.”

— Joe Brewer

.

Together with Joe, we explore the true meaning of collapse—not as an apocalyptic endpoint but as a transformation of stability, a shift in patterns. Joe invites us to move beyond fear and recognize that everyone alive today was born into an ongoing collapse. We discuss the planetary boundary tipping points already crossed, the unraveling of human social systems, and the urgent need for regenerative pathways so that humanity and countless other species may continue to share life on this beautiful blue planet.

Drawing from his book, The Design Pathway for Regenerating Earth, Joe shares how bioregional organizing, regenerative economies, and living system principles can guide us toward renewal. Through a deep ecological lens, we rediscover our ancestral roots, the essential role of healthy hydrological cycles, and the power of regenerative education to mend our relationships—with ourselves, each other, and Earth as our living home.

This episode is an invitation to shift from apathy and despair to heartfelt and life-centric action—to restore our bioregions, reimagine economics and education through an ecological lens, and reclaim the radical responsibility of regenerating Earth.

This episode explores the heart of masculine wildness, the intelligence of the feminine, and the sacred dance between integrity and flow. Samuel shares his personal journey of re-wilding, embracing his femininity as a pathway to authentic masculinity. Together, we examine the immense challenges and opportunities men face in this era, touching on themes of freedom, responsibility, and the healing power of connection.

Through thoughtful reflections, Samuel illuminates the importance of listening deeply, honouring Earth’s rhythms, and reimagining responsibility as care for what we value. His words remind us that life is a wandering journey, and our wildness is deeply intertwined with the natural world’s squiggly, mysterious beauty.

This conversation offers a call to honour the seasons of life—particularly the wisdom of Winter—and to let go of what no longer serves so that we may grow into renewal.

In this intimate and soulful conversation, Huaira shares the essence of her artistry, exploring what it means to live in devotion to creativity, self, and Earth. Together, we journey through the beautiful terrain of her life, touching on the joys and challenges of answering the soul's calling, honouring natural cycles, and embodying artistry as both a healing force and an act of resistance.

Huaira reflects on the sacred interplay of joy and grief, the profound responsibility of self-love, and how music has saved her time and again. We explore the tension between open-heartedness and guardianship, the rooted wisdom of Indigenous perspectives, and the essential dance of light and dark in witnessing the Divine.

Through her words, she offers a prayer for humanity’s harmonization with Earth, guided by curiosity, humility, and a shared commitment to future generations. Her stories, insights, and songs call us to honour the sacredness of our breath, our creativity, and our interconnectedness with all of Life.

“Pleasure is an impeccable power source.”

— Kalah Hill

.

.

In this evocative and transformative conversation, Kalah invites us to explore the vital force of pleasure—its power to heal, liberate, and connect. We speak of freedom, love, and erotic healing as Kalah shares some of her journey of reclaiming agency, choice, and responsibility in the realms of intimacy and desire.

Kalah illuminates how pleasure—woven into the very fabric of our being—can serve as both a healing modality and an act of resistance. She reflects on the courage required to tend the heart, the resilience found in joy, and the interplay of pain and pleasure in shaping a life of authenticity and connection.

We discuss the ecological and revolutionary nature of pleasure as a remedy for life's immense challenges, a wild and untamed power source, and a balm for the colonized heart-mind. With deep wisdom and vulnerability, Kalah reminds us that love is liberation, and liberation is love, offering a call to reclaim our pleasure and reconnect with Eros, the vitality of life.

In this humble and reflective conversation, Patrick, Murray, Thomas, and I explore what it means to cultivate peace, especially as men, amidst these beautifully troubled times. We share personal stories of peace, discuss the conscious choice to embody peace, and delve into how story, beauty, artistry, and the warrior within can nourish the collective field of peace. We also discuss their upcoming event, Men’s Prayer for Peace, a grounded gathering for men in the Appalachian mountains this April. Through sound, breath, and co-creative connection, it offers a transformative space for cultivating peace amongst brothers.

“We all need nestedness throughout life.”

— Darcia Narvaez

.

.

Drawing from her personal experiences, research, and insights, Darcia invites us to rethink relationship, reimagine kinship, and rediscover child-rearing through an ecological lens. We discuss her research on “the evolved nest” and how it can inspire more balanced, harmonious ways of living and growing together.

We explore the layers of nestedness—communal, intergenerational, and cosmic—revealing how these deep connections shape our well-being and the health of our communities. Darcia illuminates the contrast between Western and Indigenous wisdom traditions, offering a path back to the kinship worldview that can guide us toward balance, compassion, and a deeper sense of Belonging.

From the magic of breastmilk to the restorative power of play, and from the significance of the perinatal experience to the reverberations of morality throughout the Web of Life, this conversation calls us to rethink our place in the world and how we care for ourselves, one another, and all of Life, beckoning us toward a more balanced, interconnected, and nurturing way of Being.
