How do we start to listen to our bodies and work with our inner wisdom and intuition to guide us in our daily lives? What the first step? Where's the journey lead us to? Ive got Kyle on this week, whose participating with me on an ayurvedic yoga therapy training. This training is like a crash course on keeping the mind body and spirit healthy for ourselves, and for sharing that healing with others. In this weeks podcasts, we talk about some of the powerful downloads we've received from the course and from our lives, that serve us and could serve you as well.

Hey loves!

this week ill be sharing about a recent experience i had at burning man. I spent a great deal of my burn this year at a workshop called the "emotathon". This was an incredibly powerful experience that allowed me just a tiny bit of insight into the perspective of a woman in society. I was able to finally grasp, just how little i understood and how little i could understand, but in our (the men's)  role (in the workshop), i was able to deepen into witnessing and holding presence without judgement or trying to fix anything. I found that the deepest healing, came from a space of pure witnessing, love and acceptance. While there are may ways to support the healing of the genders, this episode gives light to a very powerful paradigm that can be life changing for trauma and wounding from the genders.

Nothing in this podcast is meant to be triggering of offensive in the least, everything that was said was from my experience and opinion and I would love to give space to other, contradicting feelings and to allow for whatever reaction is to come up.


Thank you guys so much for listening

This week we'll be exploring Gary Chapman's "The Five Love Languages". In this 20ish minute talk, ill be giving a light overview of the framework as an intro to considering and deepening into what our love language might be and how it may be effecting our relationships. I've found over and over the benefit of this lens on love and relating and i highly recommend the super easy read, or at the very least, doing the quiz or observing yourself to find out in what "language" you naturally give and receive love. Super worth a listen, super worth doing the exercise at the end, and below you can find a link to the quiz! On the five love languages website, there's also a free relationship app that seemed interesting, and ultimately the promo for it is a bit cheesy but worth a watch at least for a chuckle. Ill put that below too because it  really could be a helpful resource.

On a daily basis we experience a multitude of emotions. Due to our busy and stimulating lives, we often dont have time to sit down and unpack these experiences in the body. Whether or not we have that time, these emotions still effect us, they often motivate our behavior or signal a deeper desire or insecurity. When we take a moment to start observing, welcoming and even just noticing these sensations and how they effect the body and mind, we can move through them and utilize them in a much more adaptive way. These emotions are like little allies, trying to help us live the most beautiful life in the way they best know how, so this meditation is designed for some quality time, hanging with our emotions. Obviously some emotions are more lovely feeling than others, but when we really get some quality time to feel the spectrum, we can find the love and value in every single emotion that we experience.

"It takes a balanced mind, to balance the mind, of an unbalanced mind"

In this exciting time in history, we as a human race seem to be at somewhat of a crux between destroying our planet and falling into separation, and pulling ourselves out of this potential darkness and restoring the Garden of Eden that we have the honor of living in. In this time, it feels paramount that we welcome as many tools as we can to help us rise up and live with integrity, love and compassion. This week I have Alaine Simone on the show discussing the powerful tool of astrology and how to yield its power in supporting us to see the bigger picture, and to see past the illusion of separation. Astrology can be traced back to nearly every major civilization spanning over 4 thousand years. Alaine helps us see how to bring this magical tool back into our world so that we can live up to our human potential. If you're striving to grow as a person and maximize your potential, this ones for you

The psychedelic experience for many, can act as a whirlwind experience, pulling us out of the comfort of our familiar reality and offering an altered view of ourselves and the nature of the world around us. Due to the expansive and ineffable nature of these substances, it would serve most to invest time into creating intentionality around interacting with plant medicines. Writer, lecturer, podcaster and philosophical psychonaut, James Jesso, as a strong member in the psychedelic community, explores building a psychological model around the psychedelic experience, to aid others in their integration and digestion of these peak states of consciousness. James has a fantastic outlook on altered states, and eloquently articulates the benefits that may be received from an intentional, and respectful relationship with these medicines. We also explore the potential dangers in relating to these entities in an unconscious way. For anyone interested or even resistant to the world of psychedelics or any altered states of consciousness, this one's for you

If you've ever entered into the world of the healing arts; massage, yoga, meditation, therapy of any kind and the medicinal world, you'll love this conversation. Gabs and I sit down this week and explore the challenges that come up in the role of the therapist or facilitator that many of us feel. We explore potential holes in the current framework in our society in regards to giving away our own bodies healing agency. We talk about taking accountability for your body and health, and what that means from the perspective of the client, as well as the therapist. How do we encourage others to take steps to care for their own temples and what is our responsibility as guides along the path. We talk about bringing sacredness into our practices and finding passion for what we're doing. Lastly, but not least, we play around with the practice of Zen Thai Shiatsu and the abundance that the practice has brought us. Its a fantastic exploration of the healing world, and we reference the documentary "heal" a few times, so you can find the link below (I believe it's on netflix as well). Thank you all for listening and supporting!

What is consent and how do we make a culture of creating and honoring boundaries in our society? These are the questions we'll address today. I truly believe that consent is the foundation of strong healing relationships. When we ask for what we want, and allow space for our friends and partners to do what feels right for them, we can start to see the quality of experiences that we share with others increases dramatically. When we can trust that someone is with us because the WANT to be, and not cause they have a hard time saying no, we can fully surrender into an experience and enjoy a mutually pleasurable connection. Consent extends to all walks of life, not just sexuality and we'll find that as we implement the process of consent into the mundane parts of life, it naturally drips into our sexual experiences, offering a safe space to explore boundaries, deeper intimacy and a strong sense of eroticism and playfulness.

Lets create a culture of consent!!

This week I have Jon aka "handshake" on the show. being a good friend, coupled with working for NASA, I had to pick his brain and hear his perspectives on the planet, on our affect on the planet, and the deeper world that he sees through his scientific mind. We explore viewpoints on reality and how we can create a sustainable way for humanity to keep living with the earth. It is now that we have time to act, and Jon's realism and positive energy helps give me hope, that at least our beautiful planet will be ok in the end, and hopefully our human race can pull our act together and share this earth with all of the other beings who walk among us. Jon, thank you for a lovely chat. Sorry for any sound problems! this one is over the phone this week! thanks for joining, sending love to you all :)

We are all faced with decisions in our day to day. To make our best decisions and find our highest path, negiotiation can come in to play as a powerful tool. As we negotaite, we can learn to see into what our actual desires are and what motivates us in what we want in life. Most of us, through negotiation view a compromise as a sufficient option. This week I'd like to invite you to entertain the idea that we can aim for, and arrive to win-win solutions through many if not all of our negotiation processes. If this sentence is already triggering you or bringing up resistance, then this is the podcast for you. In this short journey together, I will support your growth into letting go of your superficial needs, to reach a greater depth and therefor reach higher rates of "win-win" solutions, and happy, healthy relationships.

The tool of language has become an integral part of our human experience as we relate to one another day to day. While it can be a fantastic resource to connect to others, and express ourselves, we can see that language can be quite limiting. With a deeper understanding of language, we can gather use the subtleties to represent our truth and our physical experience to the best of our abilities and as we peer into the languages of other cultures, we can start to see their cultural perspective of reality. Needless to say, most of us simply graze the surface of what language has to offer us and miss out on the world that language is. This week I have my sister, Arianne Belzer on the show, for a beautiful and cheeky conversation about the complexity and wonders of language and how we can look into the roots of our language to better navigate our relationships with others, ourselves and the world we live in. I am excited to share this weeks episode as we go into the adventure of language. Thanks all for listening :)

Over the past few years, I've had countless conversations with old and new friends, family members, and even people sitting next to me on the bus. In many of these conversations, the topic of finding your place in the world, pops up. Time and time again, I find that so many people, as a result of our societal model, feel an overwhelming amount of stress, related to feeling like they "need to find the perfect job" or they have to "know" what they want to do with their lives. The current model is as such, go to school as a kid, through your schooling process, decide which occupational archetype youd like to fit into (with a very very base level idea of the reality of what it means to support yourself), pick your archetype, go to college for that, and spend the rest of your life, either trying to fit into that box, fitting into the box, or quiting and starting the entire cycle over. We, as a society, are a very outcome based and goal oriented population. We choose a career path, and stop at nothing to get there, only to find that when we've arrived, we've passed up more fitting opportunities along the way, and what we originally wanted, is no longer serving us. This week, ill offer an alternative and pratical model for finding our purpose and finding a way to make what we love sustainable. Its a big shift to get our head around, but if we can change the way we look at things, then we change the way things interact with us! Thanks for listening!

Birth and Death are two shared experiences that connect every human being. In many ways, in western culture, we have removed the sacredness and wisdom from these two experiences as we have have sterilized the environments that they take place in, and we continually neglect welcoming them into our every day. When we expand our awareness and definitions of what birth and death are, we see that they occur from moment to moment every day. As one moment dies, another is born, as a tree is burnt down in the forest, it gives birth to fertile soil and new vegetation. These experience are two sides of the same coin, the coin of life. This week Jordan and I go into the depths as we explore the benefit and value of creating conversations around these ideas. Jordan shares her experiences working in prisons, and the effects of death that surrounds the life of an inmate, as well as her experiences in the delivery room as she explores the role of a "Birthing Dula" or a supportive and energetic guide to assist a smooth and enlightening transition for a mother, or family in the birthing process. This was a true treat to have such a beautiful discussion and I look forward to sharing it with all of you listeners! Sending love and light to all, and may you have a peaceful birth and death of today, of this moment, and of your life.

Hey all! This week I've got Jake Miller on with me as we decompress from our magical journey together at burning man. As the experiences had at burning man each year reach the main stream ear (no rhyme intended), I find that the power and vastness of the gathering becomes diluted to, "isn't burning man that place where everyone goes to take drugs, have sex and party?". While these aspects are present at the burn, it has become increasingly important for me to share the vastness of what burning man truly represents. The purpose of this podcast, is for those who truly want to begin to understand how beautiful and trans-formative the event can be. This week, we explore the magic underlying the festival and the intentionality behind the gathering. I look forward to exploring and sharing a decompression of what I consider to be my home and a place where anyone can fully be welcomed and celebrated as themselves. Jake and I have a blast this week, and we hope to see you next year in black rock city Nevada!

This weeks episode, we explore models of love, relationships and creating boundaries. We explore the balance between unconditional love, while still being firm with boundaries, and we look at the importance of this information in navigating our relationships. We are constantly relating in our day to day life. Whether it's a short conversation with the cashier, or a complex and multi dimensional relationship with a long term partner, the way we communicate and behave effects every interaction we have. This week we will begin to look at different perspectives classifying and identifying the relationships we're in so that we can better use our tools to improve and support our connections. This podcast is great for anyone who is looking to put more intention into their relationships and perhaps change perspective on the way we relate. I recommend an open mind and open heart, both in our relationships, and for the podcast!

Our day to day lives are full of commitments, desires, and stresses. In moderation, these ideas are both manageable and can be very healthy to our growth as individuals. Most of us, however have an excess of all three of these and are easily overwhelmed and overloaded, trying to fulfill and process life around us. This week, Connor talks about his journey from an intensely overwhelming life full of stress and exhaustion, to a life of peace and service. It's amazing to see the realness in the process that he overtook and to see how finding balance in his life, and changing environments, not only affects his own day to day life, but also the lives of those with whom he interacts. We often are taught to push through, and not be "quitters" but Connor is a beautiful example of recognizing when something isn't fitting, and taking time to intentionally reinvest your resources into a more fertile environment. Thank you so much for your inspiration Connor. You're the man

This week goes pretty deep into the ethereal world. Jamen and I sit in his bell tent and discuss the spiritual path and explore what it means to "be" spiritual. We explore spiritual practices and observations that we've started to notice since recognizing our "spiritual" journey. We talk about taboos and ego traps along the way and how illusive and sneaky the ego can be. Finally we dive into finding our path of righteousness and recognizing our gifts to the world.  This week is a truly interesting take on philosophy, wisdom and deepening into our full and true self.

Hey all!

I've got Ed on this week, and we're sitting in a beautiful garden, exploring and reminiscing about his 2,500 kilometer bicycle trip. We cover the importance of looking after your body and the incredible resilience of our physical shape. Last year, Ed and 3 friends cycled from Brisbane, located on the east coast of Australia,to Melbourne.  As the intention of this trip was to help others (through raising money for charity) and to authentically experience a different way of life, the motivations behind the trip were of excitement and love. These intentions were mirrored back to them, almost magically, as they encountered an abundance of love and goodwill along their journey. This beautiful experience is a demonstration to show us that when we live our life in a sincere, authentic way, with the intent to help others, the world will in turn take care of us. When you put a log in the fire (of life) the fire will in turn keep you warm. Thanks Ed for the inspiring stories and the reaching out to those of us who are looking for a new way to explore the world and the in's and out's of cycling.

This week I've got Daniel joining me, a beautiful brother coming from the big island of Hawaii. In a previous conversation with Daniel, he told me a beautiful story about how he once went by "Dan". One night, through a powerful insight, the great spirit, appeared to him and communicated that it was time to use his full name, for the "el" in "Daniel", means "god", and its now the time to bring the vastness and sacredness of god into his own being. This story so beautifully sums up my experience interacting with Daniel, he is a traveling man, moving from place to place, exuding love and peace wherever he walks, strums and sings. This podcast brings me to tears as I hear the stories that Daniel shares, and the musical poetry that has grown out of these powerful experiences. This weeks episode explores the spirit world, our power as humans to create our own reality, and the beauty of following your heart.

Hey loves!

This week I have Jules on and we're exploring her journey of freedom, flowing and van life in Australia. Jules inspires me so much as she has taken a leap of faith from our conventional world into a world of unknown, novelty and exhibitionism. She embodies the idea of learning to be comfortable in the "not knowing".  We discuss what its like to live simply, to live in the moment and to start to embrace life. If there will ever be an episode that's a wake up call for all of us to get out and start living our passion, it's this one! I hope you enjoy our lovely chat on the beach as we watch the waves come in and out, and as one of Jules' tattoos says, "send it" (go for it!)

Hey all!

So as I'm starting to get a bit deeper into the realm of community building, "holding space", running workshops, yoga classes and facilitating communal events, I've started to come across some really helpful methods for creating a safe and supportive environment. Whether you're a lecturer, workshop facilitator or yoga teacher, this podcast can give you some awesome insights in bringing more potency and depth into your classes. When we start to offer and teach from an authentic space within ourselves, we can have a truly memorable and powerful effect on our students and participants. It's incredible to participate in a  workshop or yoga class that changes your life. That's the power we have as facilitators. This podcast shares both practical and philosophical ideas that can help us bring depth and love into the spaces we are holding.

Some of these ideas come from Tom Lang's book "great guiding principles" and some are ideas I've learned through observation. Take whatever you like, throw away the rest, but either way, thanks for being open! I hope it helps

In this weeks episode, we'll explore the in's and outs of living alternatively in every sense of the world. Max and Daniella join me today to dive into their relationship. We will unpack the challenges and benefits of non monogamy and how living in a van can change your perspective on life. Max and Daniella have created a norm around alternative living and through their sharing, we can learn to let a go a bit more, embrace change, and start to understand just how free we can be. This one will be a perfect step for anyone considering any type of alternative life style. It's more accessible than you think! 

As last week and next weeks episode will start exploring relationships, I wanted to take a short episode to give a background on alternative relationships such as polyamory and non monogamy. In mainstream society we find monogamy to be the main, and usually only available relationship model, however as divorce rates are rising and people are leaving the mainstream, alternative models are on the rise. We see more and more people drawn to exploring conscious relationships and looking for depth in their interpersonal connections. This week we will explore a few other relationship structures and offer a taste of the world outside monogamy.

How can we find more depth in our relationships? How can we truly bring presence and unconditional love in our partnerships? This week we have Matt and Arabella on who give us a beautiful overview about the power of bringing presence and unconditional love into a relationship. Their embodiment of their values is inspiring as we see how liberating our relationships could be like, if we take accountability for our emotions, provide a safe space for our partners and create a strong foundation of communication. Matt and Arabella share their story through love and as listeners, we get the opportunity to fall in love with them. Thank you both for being open, vulnerable and loving!

Emma and I have a an awesome chat this week, discussing the motivations behind the alternative practice of dumpster diving. With enormous corporations disposing of immense amount of edible and packaged food products, we are seeing more and more, the need to manage our waste as a society. As members in that society, we can start to take things into our own hands by voting with our dollars, and minimizing the waste on the ground (or dumpster in this case). Join us this week as we explore the wacky and zany adventures of dumpster diving and learn how this simple step can really serve us and the greater community!

thanks for listening!

Vipassana, a meditation technique to walk the path of enlightenment, is said to have been taught directly from the buddah. A Burmese man, S.N. Goenka has brought the technique to the west as donation based 10 day silent meditation courses. These 10 days are used to establish ones self in the technique and immerse in meditation. In this week's episode I chat with Max Gan, about Vipassana meditation and what to expect from the 10 day silent course. We explore practicalities of the course and go into some theory behind the technique and why it can be such an effective daily practice. Whether you're planning on attending a 10 day Vipassana course, you've heard the word thrown around, or it's an entirely new concept to you, check out this episode to gain some insight in this powerful, game changing practice!

In the west we think of medicine as a pill we take, but on this weeks episode, Daniella and I explore a larger meaning of medicine. We redefine it as any choice, action, movement that brings you closer to balance. In this lens, when we bring intention and purpose to our decisions, we can find medicine in anything. A conversation could be medicine, even watching a movie at the right time in the right place, can be medicine. 

This week we'll jump into Daniellas rocky past with the traditional western methods and help shed some light into how we can take responsibility for our own health and become the true care takers of these temples that we live in.

Thanks for listening!

Hey all!

This week we'll dive into psychedelic therapy. This is a huge movement on the rise as organizations like MAPS and schools such as NYU are getting grants to keep researching the powerful effects of substances in a controlled therapeutic setting. We are seeing substances like MDMA and Psilocybin that are helping us make enormous steps forward in treating depression and PTSD. In these exciting times, I'd love to give some perspective and share my own experience with using therapeutic models and helping others gain insight into their own lives through the help of these tools.

Hey hey!

This week we'll be looking at the use of psychedelics and plant medicines. This is a topic that I'm incredibly passionate about and I heavily recommend listening if you currently take substances, are curious about them, or have no interest, but are looking for a different viewpoint.  Ill be offering some context for why we choose to ingest substances, and their versatility as tools for expanding consciousness. Ill go over some guidelines for taking them responsibly, and detailing some of the possible consequences of taking substances without intention. There will be more to come on different perspectives and a guided to choosing the right substance/medicine for us, but until then, if you wanna learn more, heres some great recourses to get a bit deeper into intentional mind expansion!

The Third Wave has some awesome free webinars, newsletter and podcast about the responsible use of substances

MAPS (The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies) is a great resource for getting information and guides for the therapeutic use of psychedelics

If you're looking for some playlists for accompanying a psychedelic experience, check out:

Playlist 1

Playlist 3

Ill send some more resources out as time goes, but enjoy these guys for now!

Gratitude to all of you for listening and supporting!

This week Ill be opening up the benefits and rescources available when we bring our awareness into the present moment. By adding just a few minutes of presence in our day, we start to see immense changes in our emotional, physical and spiritual bodies. When we get out of our heads and into our bodies, our ability to respond thoughtfully to situations greatly increases and our feelings of detachment start to lessen. So lets look at some tools and dive deep into the NOW!

Learn from the past, Consider the future, but LIVE in the present!

hey all!

This week i have Abby Bowyer on the show and we're chatting about her journey through movement. We explore different forms of movement and how recognizing and adding creative movement in our lives, can bring us closer to our intuition, closer to others and ourselves. We discuss breaking through the structures and forms of limited dance, and finding ways to express ourselves through organic movement. We all move, so lets see how our life becomes more flowing when we explore and expand that movement!

Thanks for hanging out abby!
