Under the Bodhi Tree

This weeks episode is a trippy one. We're getting into the world of time travel. Through a series of interesting events and experiences, i've started to develop an alternative perspective on time and how i relate to the world of linearity and cycles. This weeks short little chat, will be exploring the world beyond time and space and stepping into practices that can powerfully enhance the...

This week's episode is next level. I've got Tess on the show and we're getting deep into taking accountability for our emotions and for our lives. We're exploring how we give our power away constantly, ,and when we blame others for our emotional responses, it actually holds us back from living our truth. Tess works in the world of therapy, guiding and holding space for others i...

Ayuhuasca and Fasting. Thats what we're getting into this week. I was gonna chat with cris about her incredible pottery and artistic design skills and it looks like the universe wanted something else. Catching cris in the middle of her 10 day fast was such a blessing and synchronicity as we were really able to dive into the nature of the mind when we choose to let go of our idea of "what...

Sexuality. Love. Desire. These words carry so much cultural baggage. These ideas are riddled with "shoulds" "shouldn'ts", with "if i feel this, than it must mean that". What if we could live in a world where we opened up to our deeper truths. Where we gauged our sexual preferences on our bodies desire to share love, rather than our mind desire to fit into a certa...

Have you ever wondered why, in times of distress, you might feel trapped by your reactions? Its like when we get angry or scared, we lose control and our reactions take over. Steven Kessler, in his book "The Five Personality Patterns", has created a model, to help us start to understand and identify these "patterns" of reaction. Once we can start to understand and recognize whi...

for most of my life, I believed that i had a pretty solid grasp on what was going on here on earth. I had a grasp on the spiritual path and what my life was about. As i started asking a lot more questions though, my solid ideas and beliefs started to deteriorate and i began to realize that the foundation aspects of what i thought i knew were completely different than what i thought. This was a pow...

this week i have been lucky enough to have a really fun chat with Sally Taylor. We go deep into the world of the principles of "the four agreements". These four agreements are essentially a guide to live life by and consists of four powerful principles. The principles are as such, be impeccable with your word, don't take anything personally, always do your best, don't make assu...

For most of us, the society we live in, portrays the world as polarized. Something is good or bad, safe or dangerous. When we perceive the world as polarized, we perceive seperateness. I am this, you are that. The more seperate we feel, the more we fear. The more we fear, the more we need to protect ourselves, and on it goes. When we are in this mindset, this mindset of fear, and separation, the w...

There are many ways to live life and to view the unfolding of reality. We often assume that our experience of reality is "the right way" or perhaps even the "only way". When we start to open our minds to other perspective, we begin to fully understand just how limited ours is. This week I have Rachel on, and we're exploring the world from a holistic viewpoint. Rachel speak...

Hey all! In Buddhism, there is a strong foundation in the idea that suffering is all around us. Suffering (or discomfort/ unpleasantness) arises from desiring something to be different than how it currently is. Essentially, resisting the present moment. When we get attached to a certain idea, place, person or situation, and it doesn't play out how we want it, this is the seed of disappointmen...

In this time of external uncertainty, how do we come back to center, within ourselves. How can we use this time as a gift from the universe, to slow down, look inward and explore our inner landscape? This weeks episode is for us to open our perspective and taking advantage of this unique and crazy global experience. There is a holiday in Bali called Nyepi, where the entire population takes an enti...

In a time of globalization and the beautiful movement towards global connectedness, there's a chance that we as a society have missed the opportunity to connect to the local world around us. As we've been expanding, we've overshadowed the importance of staying connected to our roots. This week I have Lily on the show and we dive into the vast world of plants and vegetation that are...

When we start to look at the root motivations behind our behaviors, it starts to become clear that many (if not almost all) humans are looking for the same things. Whether it's connection to self, connection to the world, or connection to a bigger purpose, it seems that connection is an imperative factor to living an adaptive and peaceful life. This week Tim and I deeply converse about his pa...

Chinese medicine is an elegant and fascinating lens in which to view the world. Set on the foundation of yin and yang, of harmony and elemental shifts, the way TCM depicts life, is both poetic and deeply profound. While many of us are familiar with the concept of Chinese medicine as a practice, I find very few people actually dive into the foundation and understanding of what the TCM perspective o...

This weeks episode is AMAZING but also very surreal and trippy. Clare and i sat down to record an episode last week on free diving and found ourselves exploring the experience of shame, mysticism and how we navigate challenging emotional landscapes. It was a fantastic episode, however when i went back to edit it, I found that my microphone is on its way out and the first 25 mins of the podcast wer...

Hey everyone! This week I have a special guest on, Kylee Pucci, who has introduced me to the vast world of egg donation. Kylee has been on an inspiring and incredible journey through her adventures in egg donation. She has faced herself, given a piece of herself and through that process, created an organization that assists families, women and couples who are struggling to conceive, find the right...

If I've learned anything from silent retreats, it's that being alone, while it may appear challenging, is actually quite a simple experience. When I'm hanging out with "me", I always take care of myself exactly how I want. I always make the food I want, I rarely argue with myself and I'm always keen to do what "I" want to do. The challenge starts to come whe...

Hey loves!! It took me a minute to get this podcast out cause I've been on the move. This week we'll be exploring the idea around the importance of creating rituals in our lives. Ritual provides us a connection to the divine energy that is always surrounding us and when we take a little pause out of our day to acknowledge this, we stay further connected to the magic that lies in each mom...

We all have experiences, when we're in a conversation with a lover, a parent, or a friend, where someone says something that doesn't land right. A rush of anger, or jealousy or insecurity smashes into us like a tidal wave and we become nearly debilitated as our emotion takes the wheel of our consciousness and we are left at the mercy of the emotion. We say things we don't mean, we r...

Ive got joao on this week and we're exploring the concept of embodying our practices. Joao has dedicated half of his life to spiritual and physical practices that help us connect to ourselves and others. He is devoted to his passion and to helping others find theirs.

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 o...

Tiana has such a free spirit and a fantastic perspective and strategy to her travels which is so inspiring to anyone looking to get out of their routine, day to day life, and start expanding their horizons for growth. In th...

This week's a fun one. Over the past few days, Tiana, Alaine and I have been immersed in a study in a clinical trial for testing the efficacy of cannabis oil. It was a zany and playful week full of forgetfulness. After having been in a controlled environment, we took the time to reflect on the fundamentals of what it means to be healthy. We explore the importance of sunlight, putting your fee...
