Love Is Our Nature

Send us Fan Mail This episode marks a really special moment—it’s the first one I’ve recorded with a guest since becoming a father, and it feels like the beginning of a whole new chapter for the Love Is Our Nature Podcast . I’m joined by my beautiful friend Chela , a Costa Rican healer, therapist, moon dancer, astrologer, doula, and all-around embodiment of feminine wisdom. We dive deep into the my...

Send us Fan Mail This is a special episode from the "lost archives" of the Love Is Our Nature Podcast, recorded back in October of 2022. In this episode of the Love Is Our Nature Podcast, I sit down with one of my dear brothers, Ben Gabin.

I also share a valuable and inspiring message from my past self, as I explore the challenges and fears that often hold us back from pursuing our dreams.

Send us Fan Mail There's no summing up the professional title of Cristina Kalyani. She is a yoga teacher, hypnotherapist, sound-healer, Akashic Records Reader, Reiki practitioner and many other things as well.     My favorite title for her however, is Friend. In fact, she was the first person to meet Luka after his surprise arrival at 4:51am on Halloween. Kalyani waited outside of the superma...

Send us Fan Mail One of the intentions of the L.I.O.N. Podcast is to inspire people to create a life beyond their dreams. That’s why I invited Nicolin on the show, because she is doing exactly that.    She is no different than anyone who’s been living in the city working a 9-5 job. Just recently she was living in New Your City working for a big PR firm.   What separates her from many people is tha...

Send us Fan Mail Annabelle recently founded her own Yoga School, The Bhakti Path, and just led her first Yoga Teacher Training in Costa Rica. In this episode, she shares her beautiful story of following her heart and trusting her intuition. I love that aspect of her story because I feel that we could use a little bit more of that.    You hear her story of how she refused to get a 9-5 job in order...

Send us Fan Mail We’re gonna be parents! None of us imagined it happening so soon, yet here we are. This is probably the most vulnerable episode of this mini-series with Ellanah. We both put it all out on the table in regards to what it was like to learn that we were going to be parents 3 months into our relationship, and even more so, the challenges that arose as we sought out to deepen our conne...

Send us Fan Mail CONTINUATION OF EPISODE 22.    Having shared with you what prepared us for a conscious relationship, in the remainder of this session (Part 2), Ellanah and I delight in telling you the story of how it all happened.    I remember making a deal with the Universe. The deal was that when it would be time for me to connect with a romantic partner, it would be inevitable that I miss it....

Send us Fan Mail We got to know Ellanah, her story, and some of the beautiful work she’s doing in Part 1 of this Special Feature.    In Part 2, Ellanah and I explore the idea of Conscious Relationship, and more importantly, what we each went through in preparation for one.    It's a beautiful topic to explore given that it is dear to all our hearts.    Both of us find ourselves incredibly ble...

Send us Fan Mail One of the beautiful things I noticed about Ellanah early on was how every single person in the community in Costa Rica had the most wonderful things to say about her. Everyone without fail seemed to notice something very special about her.     I myself couldn’t help but notice the soft loving presence and awareness that she would bring to every single moment. She seemed to kiss t...

Send us Fan Mail “We don’t need to save the world. We need to let the world save us.”    I was delighted to bring Darren back for the first episode of Season 2 of the Love Is Our Nature podcast.    A lot has happened since I first had Darren in episode 8 about a year ago.    I have partnered up with Darren to bring to life the Gaia Awakening Institute, which will be inaugurated later this year.  ...

Send us Fan Mail Sitting on the plane last Sunday as my flight was about to land back in Miami, I was literally moved to tears.    I had just finished journaling and reflecting back at the beautiful process that took place this whole year and feeling so much gratitude for the life I have, and for who I get to be for myself in my body.    It’s a tough thing to describe, this feeling of coming home...

Send us Fan Mail Steffen is another one of those people that the Universe put directly on my path. 50 steps away to be precise. Steffen is my next door neighbor in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica.

He recently DJ’d an #EcstaticDance at our place where he played two and...

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever seen two grown men cry over their love for one another? I’ve been fortunate enough to foster deep brotherhood with several men throughout my life, so that experience has not been uncommon. Mike is one of those brothers, and we had one of those moments here. I met Mike in my first Ayahuasca Ceremony just over 4 years ago. We then had a weekly call for the next 18 mont...

And people smile most when they are experiencing their g...

Send us Fan Mail Kyle Mitri is a great friend of mine.

This practice and exploration is what Livia dedicates herself to full-time. Livia is a Coach from the Tantric Insti...

Send us Fan Mail The Universe gave me a pretty amazing housemate. Phillipa Attwood, aka Pippa, and I crossed paths by living Templo Lila, our lovely home in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica. One thing that I’ve learned about this community is you never know who’s right in front of you.    Getting to know Pippa has been a great joy of mine. I’ve learned so much from her in the short time that we have lived...

Fern tells us her fascinating story of going to Medical School, to then becoming a Wall-Street banker, to finally having a breakdown t...

Send us Fan Mail I met Tish the same day I met Darren late January of 2021. We clicked immediately, she invited me to a Cacao ceremony the day after I met her, and there I met Kaveesha from Episode 4. After hanging out all weekend, we became so close. So much so, that I went to visit her for 4 days in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica, way on the other end of the country in the Caribbean side. I got to see...

Send us Fan Mail I was lucky enough to stumble upon Rasmus through Darren Austin Hall from our last episode.

Send us Fan Mail Can't life just get a little easier? Yes it can! It is one of the things we learn from Tanai as she teaches us that a major part of the healing process is that it is not about feeling better, it's about being better at feeling.
