Under the Bodhi Tree

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...

Hey all! This week I have Daniel on the show, and we're exploring his current full on experience hitchhiking across Europe and Asia. In mainstream, western society, a fear response is often linked to the idea of hitching rides. When we think about putting our safety in the hands of strangers, many of us experience a great deal of resistance. Most of what we hear on the media in regards to hit...

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 sensat...

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 compas...

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, podcast...

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...

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 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 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...

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 "nee...

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...

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 th...

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 o...

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. F...

So I'm super excited about this one. A few weeks ago, I started exploring the idea of going into past memories and essentially rewriting my past, using the current knowledge and wisdom that I've gained. When we really take the time to look back into the past events of our lives, we find that they are often riddled with little daily traumas and experiences that have left our view of reali...

How are we treating others and how are we using relationships as tools in our lives? Are we sharing love, or motivated by fear? Are we supporting our loved ones, or are we trying to change them? This are questions that come up as we explore the world of relating. What is the benefit of having a relationship and how can we really give unconditional love and support to those around us?
