Mary Alison is funny, smart, insightful and genuine. And, like anyone I'm drawn to bring on the podcast, she thinks outside the box. 

We had a super fun, free flowing conversation covering a whole array of topics. The entire conversation went for an unexpected two and a half hours! You're listening to only the first half of it here. Here's just some of the topics we explore in this podcast:

Mask wearing, death, risk vs safety, meaning, purpose, conflict, embracing the shadow, divine purpose, cancel culture, shedding skins, the stock market, cryptocurrency, inflation of the dollar, decentralization, the value of community. 
 
Mary Allison has devoted her life to the study of creation, from the exploration of mystical principles and perspectives, to the study of scientific theories and speculations, Mary's prime objective is to bring hope to a world where hope and mystique have softly faded into the background of busy and sometimes distracting lives. Through her work she explores emotional intelligence, mindfulness, healing, and the ever-evolving structure of this reality. Can we influence it to our benefit? Absolutely.

#216 Integrating the Shadow & Dozens of Other Things Too - Mary Allison

Yona FrenchHawk is a full-blooded Cherokee Wisdom Keeper and Ceremonialist.  He was born and raised on the Qualla Indian Boundary in the Great Smoky Mountains in Cherokee, NC.  

Yona grew up learning the songs and stories of his people. There are less than 300 Full-Blooded Cherokee that remain out of a documented 50,000 enrolled members in the federally recognized Eastern Band of North Carolina and Western Band of Oklahoma.

To keep his traditions alive, Yona is honored to bridge the ancient past to the ancient future which is in constant need of support.

Yona is a well respected ceremonial and community leader and shares the meaning of traditional ceremonies as a way of life as it was shared with him by his Grandfather.

Yona shares in the vision of how the Mens Warrior society was formed to support and honor the Sacred Feminine. The Cherokee Prophecy, alive in today’s Seventh Generation, speaks of bringing that medicine back into balance. We are all one indigenous tribe of the Turtle Island.

Peace, Love, and Unity, are the essences of spirit that will nurture the healing of the future. The rainbow that illuminates our destination as a Spirit Nation.

I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation with Yona & trust you will too.

Note: The audio in this episode is a bit choppy for the first 10 minutes or so due to poor WiFi connection then clears up after that. 👍

#217 Is indigenous wisdom the answer to today's problems? Yona Frenchhawk

I really enjoyed this conversation with Saniel Bonder & Linda Groves Bonder.

Together they are beautiful example of a marriage dedicated to spiritual growth & on purpose to serve humanity together. 

Together we explore both cutting edge & ancient wisdom on how to navigate these times.

Saniel Bonder is the author of Healing the Spirit/Matter Split and the founder of the Waking Down® work. He has been a pioneer in the widespread embodiment and mutual, evolutionary exploration of awakened consciousness for over a decade. 

Born in New York to Jewish parents in 1950, growing up mostly in North Carolina, Saniel felt from early on that he “was going to be part of something that would change the course of human history — for the better.” By the time he received a B.A. in Social Relations from Harvard in 1972, a quest for spiritual enlightenment had become the focus of his life. 

During the years of his search he benefited from both Eastern and Western teachings and transmissions — as well as from the training in integrity, tolerance, compassion, and perseverance he received from his parents and secondary school mentors. His quest culminated in December 1992 in the awakening he calls his Second Birth. 

Within days his spontaneous transmission of this condition came alive and began to affect others. A year and a half later he entered the mysterious further intensification of bodily and cosmic enlightenment in love that he refers to as “the White Heat.” 

Since awakening, Saniel has dedicated himself to democratizing this embodied, nirvanic aliveness and exploring with others how to create a sane human culture on its foundation. Saniel calls the total advanced teachings he and Linda personally offer “The White-Hot Yoga of the Heart™,” or, more simply, “The White-Hot Way of Trust.” 

Saniel is also a tantric and a shaman, an eco-entrepreneur, an activist for nuclear disarmament, a golfer, and a flute player. He writes, “The heart of my life since bodily awakening as the conscious Self is being related to the great Mystery in Female form, the Goddess. Of all Her forms, the most precious to me is my beloved wife and partner Linda. I can’t begin to tell you how grateful I am to her and for her every day of my life. We feel deeply privileged to serve others and the world together.” 

He is extremely proud of the transitions he and Linda and their Heart-colleagues in the Waking Down community have accomplished. After almost two decades under his direction as the founder, their shared work and community life are now proceeding on a new, cooperatively created footing of democratic empowerment and mutual accountability. 

With Linda, Saniel is the founder of the Human Sun Institute, a founding member of the Integral Institute and a charter member of the Integral Spiritual Center.

#218 The Democratization of Spirituality - Saniel Bonder & Linda Groves-Bonder

New podcast!! 

I really enjoyed this new conversation with Taylor Clark Johnson

Why are we  so weird about sex? 

What is the correlation between sexual repression and  chronic illness? 

Does integrating our sexual energy inspire other areas of our life? 

What’s the best way to heal sexual trauma & wounding?

Can sexually ecstatic states be a gateway to ego transcendence..  or deeper connection to God? 

Why has religion separated spiritually from sexuality? 

What is tantra? 

Is rough sex sacred too? 

Do meditation & mindfulness practices make you a better lover? 

What’s the best way to communicate your deepest desires?

It’s great to have Taylor Clark Johnson back on the podcast. 

From Taylor:
“Your sexuality impacts EVERY area of your life. Sexuality is at the core of what it means to be human.

I was an unpopular science kid growing up. The bigger kids picked on me, and girls barely noticed me. I was fascinated by sex in high school, but instead of having a girlfriend I built model rockets and did science experiments… until I found weed and numbed myself out to the world.

I lost my virginity in 3 seconds of glory when I was 19… and premature ejaculation plagued me until my mid 20s when I finally decided to figure out how to overcome it.

Up until that point in my life I had been fascinated by spirituality AND sex… but was disappointed by every spiritual “path” I explored because none of them acknowledged that sex was a thing. 

Eventually I found Tantra & Taoist sexuality… which viewed sex as sacred, powerful, and something that should be celebrated. I travelled the world taking Tantra workshops and attending sexuality retreats taught by some of the most prominent teachers in the world. 

The combination of Eastern traditions with western practicality is what allowed me to overcome premature ejaculation and majorly uplevel my sex life.

And to my surprise, I discovered that my sex life directly impacted EVERY aspect of my life…

Once I began to own my sexual power, I started having better relationships, making more money, and living a life that was worlds beyond anything I could have imagined.

If you’ve struggled with any of the things below then you’re in the right place…

Because I’ve struggled with them too, and have put in a TON of time and energy to change my struggle into strength.”

#221 Sexual Healing - Taylor Clark Johnson

This is my favorite episode yet! 



And  I sense it's just going to keep getting better! 



With a focus on Christianity, though it can be applied to any religion, a pathway is clearly laid out, with acute discernment, that moves from the lower vibrational levels of shame, guilt, fear, and separation, to the highest levels of realizing our mystical communion with with the powerful, loving intelligence that is imminent, and also transcendent, of all creation. 

The levels of consciousness as laid out by Dr. David Hawkins is used as a model in this episode.


There is no salvation, or truth, in fear.  Fear is a liar. 



Our greatest, most infinite  freedom lies in disappearing into God. One unified whole, like a coat without seams. 



This is what it truly means to be “wholesome”. 



Thank you to all for your brilliant contributions & inquiry. 



Enjoy this episode!

The Circle: Is guilt good? Are emotions a gateway to wisdom or a pathway to delusion?

I love this conversation with Marya Stark on how to access the deep seated creative intelligence inside all of us to transform our life and our art.

Marya Stark is a vocalist, composer, performer, and multi-instrumentalist.
She is a discoverer of archetypes, a storyteller, bard, and muse.
An Arizona native, Marya first found her voice in the high desert, studying at the Arizona School For The Arts, before entering Chapman Music Conservatory. While following the thread of classical vocal training, Marya’s love of myth, psyche and sound healing led her to study Music Therapy. This training catalyzed Marya into a period of lavish songwriting, as she became devoted to narrating the journey of her own coming of age, collecting songs as time capsules of her human experience.

NPR recently stated: “The music is so beautiful and detailed, and the lyrics, I was blown away.
Incredibly evocative imagery. This is a great album. Just fantastic.”  

When she is not on stage or composing music, Marya works as a Musical Midwife, supporting the creative journey of her students. She is a mentor in the art of voice and song craft.
She is a chaser of waterfalls, a lover of bulletproof coffee,
and is a huge fan of the Parade Of Flamingos from BBC's Planet Earth II
And she loves you
just the way you are.

This Kevin second time on the podcast. I love our first conversation and I loved this conversation even more.

We cover so many timely topics, and vulnerable questions, in a way you may not have ever heard discussed before.

I highly invite you to give this one a listen and take your time with it. Take breaks when, if you need to.

It’s an incredible conversation if I do say so myself.

He is deeply driven by a sense of greater purpose to witness humanity evolve into a completely more developed expression of itself through love and divine wisdom.

Kevin has dedicated his life to the service of developing a more harmoniously advanced society through enhancing greater self-awareness and self-actualization in all. 

Through his innate wisdom and insight of the mind/body/spirit connection, and how all life and reality creation flows through consciousness into materialized forms of creative expression, Kevin has developed his own practice that reveals the intrinsic capacity of spirituality and science operating in unified manner without separation.

#208 The Greatest Power There Is - Kevin Walton

How do we become the hero right now? 



A hero learns, through the challenges, and initiations, they face, to integrate the both the light and the shadow, the yin and the yang, the masculine and the feminine, to the fullest expression of themself, to be the creative force of change the world is calling for. 



The highest form of fulfillment is to live your purpose from a place of deep listening, intuition and trust. 



Christian De La Huerta is the author of the new book “Awakening the Soul of Power”, breathworker, workshop & retreat facilitator, personal coach & spiritual teacher. He is a global leader in the field of personal transformation. 

He leads events online, and around the world, and is based in Miami, Florida.
