How to rewild learning: Animism, ancestral wisdom & experiential learning - Aidan Wachter

MP3•בית הפרקים

Aidan views a living magical practice as a path to heal many of the problems we face today and a way of being that is intrinsic to the creatures we are. He is the author of Six Ways: Approaches & Entries to Practical Magic and Weaving Fate: Hypersigils, Changing the Past & Telling True Lies, and Changeling: A Book Of Qualities.

In this episode, Lian and Aidan dive deep into the essence of teaching and learning, weaving together themes of projections, archetypes, and the transformative power of experiential education. They explore how modern conditioning distances us from innate learning processes and highlight the profound connection between learning and remembrance.

Lian and Aidan challenge conventional views of teaching, advocating for an approach that honours individual journeys and the unique keys each of us carries to unlock deeper truths.

Ultimately, this episode invites listeners to remember their inherent knowledge, embrace the beauty of being both teacher and student, and rediscover their place in a conscious, living world.

We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

Teaching as a Vessel of Discovery Teaching is not about having all the answers; it is about creating a space for others to access their own wisdom. Through teaching, we often uncover truths about ourselves, fostering a mutual journey of growth and understanding.
Learning as Remembrance Rather than acquiring new information, true learning is a process of remembering what is already within us. This remembrance connects us to ancestral knowledge, past lives, and the communal nature of existence, offering a profound sense of interconnectedness.
Rewilding Education Experiential learning rekindles our natural ability to trust our own experiences, breaking free from the conditioning of traditional education. By rewilding our approach to knowledge, we reconnect with animism and the wisdom of a conscious, interconnected universe.

The portal of the plate: How to journey consciously with food, ethics & liberation - Matthew C. Halteman 1:04:54

לפני 12 ימים1:04:54

1:04:54

This week’s show is with Matthew C. Halteman. Matthew is professor of philosophy at Calvin University (MI, USA) and the Oxford Centre for Animals Ethics (UK). He is the author of Hungry Beautiful Animals: The Joyful Case for Going Vegan and co-editor of Philosophy Comes to Dinner: Arguments about the Ethics of Eating . Matthew’s work is driven by deep commitments to human flourishing, animal freedom, food systems transformation, and communal cooperation to realise as much truth, beauty, and goodness as we collectively can. He loves Arsenal Football Club, the television show Twin Peaks, and vegan desserts (especially tiramisu!). In this rich and thought-provoking conversation, Lian and Matt explore the profound intersections between dietary choices, ethics, and the search for a more liberated way of living. Matt shares how his agricultural roots once framed his understanding of food, only for a childhood visit to a slaughterhouse to plant a seed of dissonance that would take decades to fully bloom. Through philosophy, emotional connection, and a series of serendipitous interventions, he found himself drawn to a new way of being - one that prioritises creaturely flourishing over rigid ideology. The conversation weaves through the personal and the mythical, touching on the tensions between authenticity and openness, the allure of fundamentalism, and the freedom found in conscious food choices. Lian also reflects on her own lifelong path as a vegan, seeing it through a fresh lens of self-inquiry and deeper meaning. This is not just a discussion about diet; it’s an invitation to rethink our most ordinary, intimate rituals - what we eat, why we eat it, and how that shapes the world we create. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: Food is more than sustenance—it is ritual, identity, and philosophy. Whether we realise it or not, our dietary choices are woven into our values, relationships, and personal mythologies. Flourishing matters more than dogma. Instead of rigid rules, Matt invites us to see going vegan not as an ‘ism’ but as an aspiration—one that prioritises the joy and freedom of all living beings rather than simply avoiding harm. The mythical exists in the mundane. By examining something as fundamental as food, we open doors to greater self-awareness, transformation, and connection to the sacred in everyday life.

Beyond coincidence: How to embrace the magic of synchronicity - Mike Bais 1:00:10

לפני 18 ימים1:00:10

1:00:10

In this week’s show Lian is joined once again by Mike Bais. Mike is a physiotherapist, counselor, university lecturer and author, also having had his own practice for many years. He is a trained priest in the esoteric christian tradition, which lead him to follow the mystical side of this lineage called the A.S.A. (Apostolic Succession of Arimathea). He believes that the Teachings of Christ are universal and should not be limited to a religious structure. His esoteric training comes from the western mystery tradition and the Toledano Kabbalah. Living in the Netherlands (Utrecht) he extensively worked with teachers and groups in the UK. After some decades of study and practice in the western esoteric tradition, the inner work came together in these three streams or disciplines that make up the Circle of Avalon. Mike sees it as his life’s work to teach these traditions to whomever wishes to receive them. He is a mystic and teacher by nature and through his groups, individual sessions, workshops and writing, transmits them in the most pure and true way he knows. Mike is the author of 3 books: Paths on the Tree of Wisdom – A course in 21st Century Kabbalah , A Kabbalistic view on science: Book 1 and A Kabbalistic view on science: Book 2 . In this show, a part 2 to last week’s episode on fate and destiny , Mike and Lian explore the deep mystery of synchronicity—how meaningful coincidences shape our spiritual journeys and reveal hidden connections between the seen and unseen realms. Together, they trace the threads of psychological time, archetypal resonance, and the transformative potential of recognising synchronicity as a guiding force in our lives. Drawing from Jungian psychology, Kabbalistic teachings, and mythopoetic wisdom, they uncover how synchronicity isn’t mere coincidence but an intricate dialogue between our inner and outer worlds. Jung described synchronicity as an acausal connection between events that hold personal meaning, bridging the gap between the material and metaphysical realms. They discuss how we can cultivate awareness of these signs, interpret them in service of our spiritual path, and discern their deeper meaning without falling into superstition or over-interpretation. Throughout this rich and soulful discussion, Lian and Mike invite listeners to consider the ways synchronicity can awaken them to their own mythic journey. How can we sharpen our perception to notice synchronicities when they arise? What role does psychological time play in these moments? And how can recognising the larger archetypal patterns help us live a more meaningful life? Join them on this journey into the heart of synchronicity, where myth meets reality, and where the unseen forces of life conspire to lead us toward wholeness. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: Synchronicity as a Mirror of the Soul: Jung described synchronicity as an event that has no apparent causal connection yet holds profound personal meaning. These moments reveal the interconnectedness of our inner and outer worlds, guiding us toward greater self-awareness and spiritual insight. Cultivating Synchronicity in Daily Life: Developing presence and intuitive awareness allows us to notice synchronicities as they unfold and integrate their wisdom into our path. Rather than dismissing them as coincidences, we can recognise them as invitations from the unseen to deepen our engagement with life. The Mythic Thread of Synchronicity: Synchronicities often link to archetypal stories and patterns, offering a bridge between personal experiences and the deeper currents of collective meaning. Understanding these patterns can help us see our own lives as part of a greater mythic unfolding.

How to live your destiny: Kabbalah wisdom on the soul's path - Mike Bais 58:05

לפני 25 ימים58:05

58:05

This week’s show is with Mike Bais. Mike is a physiotherapist, counselor, university lecturer and author, also having had his own practice for many years. He is a trained priest in the esoteric christian tradition, which led him to follow the mystical side of this lineage called the A.S.A. (Apostolic Succession of Arimathea). He believes that the Teachings of Christ are universal and should not be limited to a religious structure. His esoteric training comes from the western mystery tradition and the Toledano Kabbalah. Living in the Netherlands (Utrecht) he extensively worked with teachers and groups in the UK. After some decades of study and practice in the western esoteric tradition, the inner work came together in these three streams or disciplines that make up the Circle of Avalon.

Mike is the author of 3 books: Paths on the Tree of Wisdom – A course in 21st Century Kabbalah , A Kabbalistic view on science: Book 1 and A Kabbalistic view on science: Book 2 . In this show, Mike and Lian dive into the rich and resonant realms of fate, destiny, and the stories that shape our lives. Together, they unpack the profound distinctions between fate—the patterns of biology, psychology, and ancestry—and destiny, the call to align with a purpose beyond oneself. Mike illuminates how fate begins in the inherited aspects of our DNA, family culture, and societal conditioning, often creating a sense of limitation that prompts us to seek deeper meaning. Lian reflects on how trauma and challenge, while seemingly random, can act as gateways to growth and understanding, inviting us to uncover the deeper purpose behind them. They explore the Kabbalistic Tree of Life as a powerful map for navigating fate and destiny, emphasising the journey from ego-driven patterns to the heart’s wisdom at Tiferet, where self-awareness blooms into authenticity. Finally, they bring the myth of Chiron, the wounded healer, into focus, using his story to illuminate the transformative power of embracing wounds as steps toward grace and union. Together, they weave a soulful conversation, inviting listeners to see their challenges as part of a greater unfolding and to explore the myths that resonate deeply with their own lives. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: Fate is the foundation of our inherited patterns—physical, psychological, and cultural—that often seem like limitations but hold the seeds of self-awareness and transformation. Individual fate begins when we start to wake up to our own deeper truth. It’s the call to authenticity, the moment we realise we are more than the roles we’ve been shaped into by family and society. This awakening often comes through crisis, inner conflict, or a deep yearning for something more. Destiny is the call to transcend ego and our individual self and align with something greater. It emerges when we allow grace and service to guide us. The myths and archetypes that call to us hold deep personal meaning, acting as mirrors and guides to our own path of fate and destiny.

לפני 4 weeks54:49

54:49

All The Everything is Lian’s solo show where she dives deep into a topic, often woven around a myth or fairytale that she’s been journeying with. In this episode, Lian invites listeners into a mythopoetic journey through the good, the bad, and the ugly faces of beauty. Using the myth of Psyche and Eros as a guide, she explores how beauty shapes our lives in ways both profound and challenging. Lian reflects on the ways beauty can inspire admiration and connection, while also recognising its power to provoke envy, projection, and even great harm. She journeys through Psyche’s trials, showing how outer beauty transforms through challenges, finally, Lian invites us to consider beauty not only as a physical quality but as a pathway to wholeness, healing, deep transformation, and ultimately union. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: Beauty as a Catalyst: From Psyche's story, we see how beauty can spark admiration and connection but also provoke envy, projection and exloitation, leading to both inspiration and trials. Transformation Through Trials: Psyche’s journey shows that beauty is not static—it deepens and evolves through challenges, revealing the power of courage, inner strength, and trust. Union of Inner and Outer Beauty: True beauty lies in the integration of the soul's essence with its outward expression, becoming a path to healing and wholeness.

לפני 6 weeks45:10

45:10

This week’s show is with Robert Waggoner. Robert has had more than 1,000 lucid dreams and has taught workshops on four continents, helping people learn how to become lucidly aware in their dreams, and then use this unique state to access inner creativity, promote emotional and physical healing, engage a responsive inner awareness and more! Robert Waggoner wrote the acclaimed book, Lucid Dreaming - Gateway to the Inner Self and the award winning, Lucid Dreaming Plain and Simple (with co-author Caroline McCready) and his books have been translated into eight languages. He co-edits the free online magazine, Lucid Dreaming Experience and serves on the Executive Committee of the International Association for the Study of Dreams.

Robert shares his extensive experience, uncovering the origins and scientific validation of lucid dreaming while highlighting its profound potential for self-discovery and personal growth. He discusses how mindfulness within dreams can provide a gateway to deeper understanding of one's inner self. They explore how lucid dreaming offers practical applications, from overcoming fears and phobias to unlocking significant personal changes and profound spiritual experiences, including meditative practices within the dream state. Together, they reflect on the continuous process of learning and growth that lucid dreaming inspires, offering listeners insights into how dreams can be a powerful mirror of consciousness and a tool for transformation. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: Lucid dreaming as a mirror of the inner self: Dreams are more than unconscious wanderings; they are a canvas reflecting our deepest thoughts, emotions, and desires. Within lucid dreams, we have the power to consciously interact with this reflection, uncovering profound insights. Practical transformations through dreaming: From healing phobias to navigating personal challenges, lucid dreaming is a practice that bridges the gap between the subconscious and the waking world, encouraging growth, healing, and mindfulness.

How to be a man: Masculinity, warriorship & honour - Arthur Haines 58:25

לפני 6 weeks58:25

58:25

This week’s show is with Arthur Haines. Arthur is a Maine hunting, fishing, and recreation guide, forager, ancestral skills mentor, author, public speaker, and botanical researcher. He grew up in the western mountains of Maine, a rural area that was home to swift streams known for their trout fishing. He spent most of his childhood in the Sandy River Valley hiking, tracking, and foraging. Arthur now runs the Delta Institute of Natural History in Canton, Maine, where he teaches human ecology, focusing on the values of foraging, wildcrafting medicine, and primitive living skills. He continues to spend a great deal of his free time practicing his skills as a modern hunter-gatherer. In 2017, he authored “A New Path”, a comprehensive work on nature connection and rewilding, detailing how to incorporate ancestral practices into modern living. As a research botanist for the Native Plant Trust, he completed an inclusive flora of the New England region titled “ Flora Novae Angliae ” and has authored over twenty publications in peer-reviewed journals and books, including naming species of plants new to science. His series of YouTube videos has inspired thousands of people interested in foraging wild edible and medicinal plants. In this show, Arthur and Lian explore the profound and often misunderstood concepts of masculinity. Together, they delve into the divine masculine as an archetype, contrasting it with the modern discourse around toxic masculinity and what these perspectives mean for identity and society. Arthur shares his motivations for championing conversations about masculinity, discussing the importance of role models, honour, and self-preservation in embodying true masculine energy. He offers insights into the warrior archetype and its relevance in today’s world, where resilience and protection are often dismissed but perhaps are more crucial than ever. They reflect on cultural narratives and the historical significance of egalitarian societies, shedding light on how traditional gender roles have evolved and the ways they continue to shape us. Through this exchange, Lian and Arthur explore how embracing divine masculinity can create balance and transformation in a changing world. Together, they challenge reductive ideas of masculinity, highlighting the need for mastery, responsibility, and open dialogue to honour the archetypes and roles we embody as humans. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: The divine masculine is an essential archetype, embodying honour, protection, and resilience. Celebrating it requires moving beyond oversimplified notions of toxic masculinity to understand its role in community and identity. Egalitarian societies historically celebrated gender differences, recognising the unique contributions of both men and women. Revisiting these perspectives can help modern society reframe the evolving dynamics of gender roles to meet the needs of the world today. The warrior archetype remains vital in today's world, symbolising preparation, mastery, honour, and collective responsibility. In embracing this role, men can navigate crises with honour, ensuring the protection and provision essential for communities to thrive.

How to rewild learning: Animism, ancestral wisdom & experiential learning - Aidan Wachter 1:08:25

לפני 8 weeks1:08:25

1:08:25

This week’s show is with Aidan Wachter, an animist, author, and healer. Aidan has been involved in practical magic since the 1980s. He is an animist and is deeply concerned with the effects of modern Western life-ways on the human animal, on both physical and spiritual levels. Aidan views a living magical practice as a path to heal many of the problems we face today and a way of being that is intrinsic to the creatures we are. He is the author of Six Ways: Approaches & Entries to Practical Magic and Weaving Fate: Hypersigils, Changing the Past & Telling True Lies, and Changeling: A Book Of Qualities. In this episode, Lian and Aidan dive deep into the essence of teaching and learning, weaving together themes of projections, archetypes, and the transformative power of experiential education. They explore how modern conditioning distances us from innate learning processes and highlight the profound connection between learning and remembrance. Lian and Aidan challenge conventional views of teaching, advocating for an approach that honours individual journeys and the unique keys each of us carries to unlock deeper truths. Ultimately, this episode invites listeners to remember their inherent knowledge, embrace the beauty of being both teacher and student, and rediscover their place in a conscious, living world. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: Teaching as a Vessel of Discovery Teaching is not about having all the answers; it is about creating a space for others to access their own wisdom. Through teaching, we often uncover truths about ourselves, fostering a mutual journey of growth and understanding. Learning as Remembrance Rather than acquiring new information, true learning is a process of remembering what is already within us. This remembrance connects us to ancestral knowledge, past lives, and the communal nature of existence, offering a profound sense of interconnectedness. Rewilding Education Experiential learning rekindles our natural ability to trust our own experiences, breaking free from the conditioning of traditional education. By rewilding our approach to knowledge, we reconnect with animism and the wisdom of a conscious, interconnected universe.

Sacred Openings: How to transform through loss and change - Kate Barsby 53:18

לפני 9 weeks53:18

53:18

This week’s show is with Kate Barsby. Kate is mother of four children, a deep feeler and thinker, a soul guide, a priestess of sacred openings, and a guardian and explorer of all things which guide us towards the sacred, and into the mystery. She holds spaces for women who want to explore who they are on the deepest level, so they can live in a way which honours and expresses what they find there: their truth, their soul, their heart, their spirit. Kate’s work is currently done through two portals: Sacred Openings and The Cherished Mother . In this episode, Kate and Lian, through heartfelt stories and deep reflection, invite us to consider the concept of 'sacred openings'- those moments of transformation that arise in the wake of loss, change, or transition. Kate shares her personal journey through the devastating loss of her daughter, revealing how this experience became a catalyst for healing, self-discovery, and a deeper connection to the sacred. Together, they discuss the coexistence of grief and joy, the liberation found in acceptance, and the spaciousness needed to navigate life's complexities. Finally, Lian and Kate emphasise the importance of curiosity and holding space for others, showing how compassion and witnessing can create a path to healing, connection, and an enriched understanding of life's sacredness. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: Grief as a Sacred Opening: Grief, though profoundly painful, can serve as a transformative teacher. Accepting and honouring our emotions creates space for sacred openings, where healing and personal growth unfold. The Duality of Grief and Joy: Even in the depths of loss, moments of joy can arise, revealing the rich, interconnected nature of life. This duality invites us to embrace all emotions as sacred parts of our human experience. Our Unique Medicine: Discovering our medicine is a deeply individual journey. By staying curious about our experiences and exploring the tools and practices that resonate with us, we uncover new possibilities for healing, self-discovery, and living a sacred life.

Mastering memory: Practical techniques for accessing the mind's potential - Anthony Metivier 1:38:20

לפני 11 weeks1:38:20

1:38:20

In this show, Lian is joined again by memory expert Anthony Metivier to explore the transformative art of memory techniques, with a focus on the ancient yet powerful memory palace method. Anthony is the founder of the Magnetic Memory Method, a systematic, 21st Century approach to memorising foreign language vocabulary, names, music, poetry and much more in ways that are easy, elegant, effective and fun. Lian and Anthony discuss the science and soul of memorisation, reflecting on the way our brains create associations and store information. Together, they examine the challenges of modern learning and the unique tools available to overcome them. Anthony shares practical guidance on crafting memory palaces, reveals the importance of interleaving topics for richer understanding, and delves into advanced techniques like the shadow method. The conversation also sheds light on misconceptions about aphantasia, celebrates the magic of visualisation, and highlights how intentional practice can unlock the profound connection between memory and consciousness. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: Memory Palaces as a Tool for Transformation: By associating information with familiar spaces, the memory palace method not only enhances recall but also creates a dynamic and engaging way to learn. The process highlights the interplay between visualisation, intention, and the richness of mental imagery. The Power of Context and Interleaving: Context-dependent memory strengthens retention, and interleaving different topics improves understanding. Experimenting with these techniques can make learning more efficient and enjoyable, particularly when paired with the trust that comes from allowing new connections to emerge naturally. Personal Growth through Memory Work: Beyond practical applications, memory techniques offer a path to transformation. From childhood associations to advanced practices like the shadow technique, the process of mastering memory is as much about personal evolution as it is about information retention.

Soul loss, retrieval, and life beyond: A shamanic perspective - Jonathan Horwitz 59:11

לפני 12 weeks59:11

59:11

This week’s show is with Jonathan Horwitz. Jonathan was born in the USA and has lived in Scandinavia for over half his life. He has been actively working with shamanism since 1972, was a teacher and field researcher at the Foundation for Shamanic Studies for 10 years and has a master’s degree in anthropology. In 1986, Jonathan co-founded the Scandinavian Center for Shamanic Studies and has been teaching internationally ever since, in Russia, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Belgium, Sweden and the UK. He has been a frequent contributor to Sacred Hoop magazine and served for some years as European Editor for Journal of Shamanic Practice . He lives with his partner Zara in the woods of southern Sweden at Åsbacka , their home and retreat centre. Jonathan is known for his grounded, present and warm teaching style. He sees shamanism as a spiritual path and his main focus is shamanic healing, spiritual ecology and shamanic community work. As a teacher, he feels his role is to help people find the road to the Spirit world, encourage them to accept the power offered, and learn how to bring power back to the physical world.Shamanism is about life. Life is change. Shamanism is change with power. In this show, Jonathan and Lian explore the intricate and soulful journey of soul loss, trauma, healing, and life afterwards, unpacking the profound and universal experience of soul loss, revealing how it arises as a survival response to trauma and the ways it shapes our behaviours, emotions, and sense of self. They delve into the connection between addiction and soul disconnection, offering compassionate insights into recognising maladaptive patterns as signals of deeper wounds and opportunities for growth. Together, Lian and Jonathan reflect on the transformative power of the dark night of the soul, the process of retrieval and integration, and the importance of self-compassion in reclaiming a wholeness that honours our truest essence. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: Soul Loss as Survival: Soul loss often begins as a survival mechanism in response to trauma, creating a temporary sanctuary for the self. Recognising this mechanism offers a path to self-compassion and healing. Addiction and Disconnection: Many addictions stem from an underlying disconnection of the soul. By addressing the root cause, individuals can begin to reconnect with their lost parts and move towards lasting recovery. Integration and Transformation: The return of lost soul parts is only the beginning—true healing requires a nurturing environment and self-compassion to integrate the returned part, paving the way for profound personal growth.

How to grow from the inner child to the sovereign - Rob Boothroyd 1:01:01

לפני 12 weeks1:01:01

1:01:01

This week’s show is with Rod Boothroyd. Rod brings more than two decades’ experience of working with men and women to his current work as a Healing The Shadow practitioner. Rod’s career in the area of human potential started with his training in Transactional Analysis psychotherapy at the Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy in 1999. Since then he has taken further training in Integrative Psychotherapy, worked with the ManKind Project UK and Ireland (where he was a Primary Integration Training leader), and researched in depth the art of working with, and reintegrating, the human shadow. He is now working as a one-to-one coach and therapist, and is also a supervisor with Healing The Shadow, an organisation devoted to emotional healing and the development of human potential. In this episode, Lian and Rod delve into the concept of the 'sovereign within' and its transformative implications for leadership, personal growth, and soul awakening. They explore the essence of heart-centred leadership - including the importance of compassion and self-love, they share insights into the archetypes of inflated and deflated sovereigns - highlighting their manifestations in everyday life and the deeper insecurities they conceal, reflect on the pivotal role of purpose in anchoring a strong sense of self, and talk about the dynamics of childhood experiences and how these early influences sculpt our ability to and our path of embodying sovereignty. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: Heart-centred leadership begins with awareness and self-compassion - We need to see and nurture the inner child and the growing sovereign within. Recognising shadow archetypes deepens self-awareness - Inflated sovereigns, driven by insecurities, and deflated sovereigns, hindered by self-worth struggles, offer powerful insights into our behaviours and relationships. Purpose and self-love are the cornerstones of sovereignty - by embracing self-acceptance and aligning with purpose, we create a foundation for self-discovery and leadership that can transform not only our own lives but those around us.

How to nurture your microbiome’s power: Food, dreams & community - Richard Nikoley 50:00

לפני 14 weeks50:00

50:00

This week’s show is with Richard Nikoley. Richard was born and raised in Reno, Nevada, the son of a German immigrant. He attended a private, church-run high school before moving on to Tennessee Temple University in Chattanooga for his first year of college. He later transferred to Oregon State University, where he graduated in 1984 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, along with minors in mathematics/computer science and naval science. During his time at OSU, he was a member of the NROTC unit and was commissioned as a Surface Warfare Officer (SWO) in the U.S. Navy upon graduation. Richard’s naval career began with eight months of training in San Diego, California, followed by a deployment to Yokosuka, Japan. There, he served on the USS REEVES (CG-24) from 1984 to 1987 in various roles, including Assistant Missiles Officer, First Lieutenant, and Electrical Officer. He then joined the U.S. SEVENTH FLEET aboard the USS BLUE RIDGE (LCC-19) from 1988 to 1989, managing a substantial fuel budget as Assistant Fleet Scheduling Officer and Assistant Logistics Officer. After five years in Japan, Richard moved to Monterey, California, to study French at the Defense Language Institute. This led to an exchange officer position with the French Navy from 1989 to 1992, where he served as Navigator on the FNS COLBERT (C 611) and FNS DUQUESNE (D 603). He left the Navy in 1992 and returned to the San Francisco Bay Area. In 1993, Richard founded a company that grew significantly over a 20-year period. Although he was married for much of that time, since 2019, he and his former spouse have maintained a friendly relationship while pursuing separate lifestyles. Since January 2020, Richard has been living in Thailand as an unintended expat. Initially planning to be digital and nomadic, he decided to settle more permanently due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During this time, he built a house in a rural province and wrote extensively about COVID-19, masks, lockdowns, and global drug trials - earning recognition for his insights. Currently, Richard manages multiple income streams while engaging in various creative pursuits. He writes, makes videos, takes long walks, swims and snorkels in the tropical ocean, rides a motorcycle without a helmet, and enjoys cooking and eating exquisite food. A self-proclaimed gym junkie and honorary "Bro," Richard is known for his clever and well-crafted writing. In this show, Richard and Lian explore the intricate connections between community, diet, and the microbiome, weaving together science, storytelling, and spirituality. They delve into how inner and outer communities shape human experience and how ancestral diets can connect us to the wisdom of the past. They reflect on the distortions of industrial society, the transformative power of dietary choices, a shamanic perspective on consumption and well-being, and the mysterious interplay between nutrition and our psyche. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: The microbiome is more than a physical system - it’s a dynamic ecosystem influenced by diet, community, and the stories we tell about ourselves. Understanding and honouring this interplay can lead to profound transformation. By adopting practices, like eating more fibre and cooking and cooling starchy foods for resistant starch, we can support gut health and reconnect with natural ways of eating that shaped human evolution. What we eat can shape not only our physical health but also the content of our dreams, illuminating symbols for self discovery - which suggests a greater link between our food and our psyche than is generally discussed.

The power of lucid dreaming: Insight, transformation and cosmic perspective - Sarah Janes 1:04:57

לפני 14 weeks1:04:57

1:04:57

This week’s show is with Sarah Janes. Author, researcher, curator, retreat/workshop facilitator and public speaker, Sarah Janes specialises in the ancient history and culture of dreaming and has been an enthusiastic lucid dreamer since childhood. Sarah is passionate about the potential of dreaming for physical, emotional, creative and spiritual upliftment, not just for individuals, but for culture and society. Sarah is co-director and curator of Dream Palace Athens , a symposium and deep-dreaming residency project in Greece. She is also the host of popular online lecture series Explorers Egyptology . Sarah has collaborated with Rupert Sheldrake and the British Pilgrimage Trust to reinvigorate the practice of dream incubation at sacred sites around the UK. Currently leading retreats to the ancient dream incubation sanctuaries of the Mediterranean, Sarah is now based between Hastings in England and Archaia Epidavros in the Peloponnese. Sarah’s book: Initiation into Dream Mysteries: Drinking from the Pool of Mnemosyne explores the history and culture of dreaming in the Western Esoteric Tradition and is available from all book sellers and on Audible . In this show, Sarah and Lian delve into the profound world of dreams and lucid dreaming, exploring how these altered states of consciousness shape our understanding of reality. They discuss Sarah’s lifelong passion for dreaming, the philosophical implications of lucidity, and the potential for personal growth and transformation within the dream realm. They explore the connection between lucid dreaming and hypnagogic states, highlight the transformative nature of these experiences, and share practical techniques for achieving lucidity. Together, they reflect on the role of ancient wisdom in dream practices, consider the cosmic perspective lucid dreaming provides, and emphasise the significance of memory and intention in shaping our dream experiences. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: Dreams offer a unique intersection of sleep and wakefulness, providing a space for insight and creativity that taps into our deepest desires and fears. Through lucid dreaming, we can actively engage with these elements for self discovery. Hypnagogic states, those transitional moments between wakefulness and sleep, can be used as a pathway into lucid dreaming, allowing us to consciously enter the dream realm. In this state, we are connected to ancient cultural practices that viewed dreams as essential tools for decision-making and self-understanding. Lucid dreaming is not simply a binary experience but can manifest in varying degrees of awareness - lucidity is a spectrum. By setting intentions, practicing memory recall, and recording dreams, we can deepen our understanding and appreciation of the dream world as a transformative and healing space.

Being the vessel: Opening to magic, transformation, and power - Aidan Wachter 1:00:18

לפני 15 weeks1:00:18

1:00:18

This week’s show is with Aidan Wachter, an animist, author, and healer. Aidan has been involved in practical magic since the 1980s. He is an animist and is deeply concerned with the effects of modern Western life-ways on the human animal, on both physical and spiritual levels. Aidan views a living magical practice as a path to heal many of the problems we face today and a way of being that is intrinsic to the creatures we are. He is the author of Six Ways: Approaches & Entries to Practical Magic and Weaving Fate: Hypersigils, Changing the Past & Telling True Lies, and Changeling: A Book Of Qualities. In this episode, Aidan and Lian explore the concept of vessels in magic and witchcraft - and especially vessels for self-discovery and transformation. Aidan reveals lessons from a significant breakdown - which he sees now was catalysed by the very work of his book Changeling - which is about this notion of vessels. They discuss the fluid nature of identity, examine the qualities that define a witch, and consider the role of power in personal growth and the impact of reclaiming our energy from misaligned places. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: A vessel isn’t just a container—it’s a channel that holds and directs energy, shaping the flow of our lives and the choices that define us. What we choose to hold within shapes our identity and anchors us in life. Power, often viewed as corrupting, becomes transformative when consciously claimed. For a witch, power is an inner resource to guide growth, create change, and hold responsibility. Honouring our ancestors roots us in a lineage that offers wisdom, invites healing across generations, and strengthens our connection to purpose.
