Universe Within Podcast Ep94 - Seek Connection - Cosmovision, Plant Medicines, Gnosis & Prophecy Hey everybody! Episode 94 of the show is out. This is an interview my friend Samuel did with me on his Seek Connection Podcast. It was a pleasure for me to sit down and catch up with Samuel. We met a number of years ago in a plant-medicine retreat in the Peruvian Amazon. I was honored to be on his third episode and we got into some really interesting topics including cosmovisions, plant medicines, the pandemic, fear, gnosis, and indigenous prophecies. Samuel did a great job with this interview and I think we touched on some really important aspects of this work which are often not spoken about or overlooked. I was really happy with what we covered. If you enjoy this interview, consider checking out and supporting his podcast.

Universe Within Podcast Ep93 - Angell Deer - Shamanism, Forestry, Medicine, & Service Hey everybody! Episode 93 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with my friend Angell Deer. Angell and I met last year when he hosted myself and my colleague, Merav Artzi, where we ran plant-medicine retreats at his wonderful property, The Sanctuary. So I enjoyed being able to sit down with Angell and learn more about his story, what brought him into this work, and what he has to share. He’s had a varied life and has an interesting perspective drawing from his own life experience and having worked in many traditions. I think you’ll get a lot out of Angell’s sharing and his wisdom.

Enjoy! “After a career that scaled the heights of corporate success as a CEO of global companies, I reached a turning point in my life – material success and trappings had not necessarily made me really happy or fulfilled. I had a big degree, a big job, and success that most people aspire for, but I was not happy. I decided to completely change my life and embarked on a journey of self-exploration and meditation that took me from working with Mother Teresa’s mission in India, to the jungles of Peru in search of finding meaning in life and fulfillment beyond the material demands of society today. Through seeking to transform my own life to live with a higher purpose, I made a life-changing commitment to helping others in their search for peace, harmony, and happiness. During the last 10 years and my transformative journeys across Asia & South America, I had rare opportunities to study and meditate with master healers and teachers of all faiths. I am trained in Shamanism, Reiki & Medical Reiki, Sufi Healing, Sound Healing, Meditation, Herbalism, and Breathwork. The big transformation happened many years ago when I started to dive into the plant world with my teacher in Peru & shamanic work with Native American & Norse traditions. I started to work with specific energies and Spirits who channel to me the healing I am using today. This method mix channeling, somatic energy work, breathwork, runes, and connection to Divine masters (Archangel Michael and Christ most frequently) through prayers. It is a very powerful energy healing that can give profound results on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual trauma. This journey of transformation is never-ending, for me too. In 2015, I opened The Sanctuary Healing Center on my property in the Catskills where I do in-depth work with my clients, host workshops, and cultivates the land for organic vegetable farming, medicinal plants, and honey bees.” To contact or learn more about Angell and The Sanctuary, visit his website at: https://www.thesanctuaryheal.com/ If you enjoy the show, it would be a big help if you could share it with your own audiences via social media or word of mouth.

Universe Within Podcast Ep92 - Linda Christine Adams - Plant Medicines, Indigenous Wisdom & Healing Hey everybody! Episode 92 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Linda Christine Adams. Linda was recommended to me by a mutual friend of ours, Kylea Taylor, who I interviewed in episode 59. Kylea spoke very highly of Linda as a healer and wisdom keeper so I took her word for it and was very happy to have connected with Linda. Linda has been walking her path of medicine and healing since a young age and has studied many modalities of healing, weaving them together in her practice. We spoke about Acupuncture, Chinese medicine, ayahuasca, dietas, iboga, and distance healing. It was a pleasure for me to connect with Linda and have her share her knowledge and wisdom and I hope you all enjoy this episode. As always, to support this podcast, get early access to shows, bonus material, and Q&As, check out my Patreon page below. Enjoy! “From an early age, Linda has been initiated by elders, healers and shamans from around the world. She is the innovator of Empyrean Energy Work, Holographic Reflexology and Elemental Qi Gong. She channels high frequencies of Light from the Cosmos and Healing Love from the Great Mother through her voice and through her remote work. She is a passionate guide in healing our separation from Earth and in the reweaving of earth based culture. When I was 19 I received a very clear message that my life path was to be of service. At 20 she had an accident that left me unable to walk. This was the first initiation on her path as a healer, and how she met her first teacher and regained the ability to walk. Since that time healers, teachers and shamans from many places and many traditions have mentored and initiated her and the process continues to this day. Her studies have called her to the far corners of Earth, from Vietnam to the High Andes, the Amazon Rainforest and beyond. A near death experience in 2017 opened her capacity to channel the Light frequencies of the Cosmos and shortly after this she received a visitation by the Great Mother Herself. All of this wisdom and experience is integrated into all that Linda offers. Through her interactiveremote work Linda specializes in integration of non-ordinary experiences, working with core wounds, healing through ancestral lineages, and helping toclearblockages toawakening and the expression of our true gifts.” To learn more or to connect with Linda, visit her website at: https://www.intotheheartoftheworld.earth If you enjoy the show, it would be a big help if you could share it with your own audiences via social media or word of mouth.

She has a varied background and with this variety has a beautiful ability to draw on various modalities with her work.

Universe Within Podcast Ep90 - Dr Alka Patel - Health As a Verb, Allopathic Care, Holistic Medicine Hey everybody! Episode 90 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Dr. Alka Patel. Alka was introduced to me and she has a very good TED Talk which I’ll link to below. Alka is a medical doctor and through a series of personal experiences began to see that there were other ways she could better help her patients, thus beginning to incorporate other modalities into a more holistic approach. I think it’s wonderful when any type of doctor is open to learning and broadening their knowledge and I think Alka really embodies this emerging field of medicine. She has a beautiful presence and ability to share her wisdom. I think you all will enjoy this episode. As always, to support this podcast, get early access to shows, bonus material, and Q&As, check out my Patreon page below. Enjoy! “I have been a medical doctor for over 20 years and I began my professional career much like many. On a professional high, driven to build my career and find success. But this drive in my professional life meant I put my health on the backburner. Closed my eyes to the signs in front of me. The result - a collision course with burnout that ended with me spending my birthday and weeks after in a hospital bed, close to shut down. I found out the hard way that my career in isolation wasn’t supplying me with the energy, resilience, strength and happiness that I needed, and that prioritising my health was by far the most important thing I needed to do to help my career to flourish. Creativity, productivity and longevity are all achieved when you give yourself the self-nourishment you need to feed your professional soul. Despite working hard as a Dr to help people become healthy, I realised that healthcare was headed in the wrong direction. An over-reliance on medication as a cure for every illness and a dependence on doctors to wipe away symptoms was detracting from what really mattered. With my shift in awareness, I discovered Lifestyle Medicine - an approach that focuses on the root cause of ill health through a whole-person approach and that embeds self-care at the root of living well. And so, through my extensive research and experience, The Lifestyle First Method® evolved – a proven approach for optimal health and happiness with easy to implement rapid actions based on my lifelong passion for health, science and compassion.” To contact or learn more about Dr. Alka Patel, visit her website at: https://dralkapatel.com/ and for her TED Talk: https://youtu.be/JpFLNk3_Qik If you enjoy the show, it would be a big help if you could share it with your own audiences via social media or word of mouth.

Universe Within Podcast Ep88 - Almunis | Alejandra Ortiz - Embodied Voice, Vibration, & Medicine Hey everybody! Episode 88 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Almunis (Alejandra Ortiz). She had been highly recommended to me by a good friend and then recently someone who was dieting with Merav and myself also highly recommended her. Almunis was also doing a retreat right next door and so it seemed serendipitous. Almunis is a Colombian teacher who works with the voice. We had a really fascinating conversation about the power of the voice, how it can be opened and truly found, its healing effects, the power of the word, and we touched a bit on plant medicines as well, especially as the voice and song are often an integral part of many traditions. I really enjoyed this conversation and Almunis really has a beautiful presence and wisdom that she shares from her own journey and work with others. It was a pleasure for me to sit down with her and I hope one day to sit down with her again and learn more from her. I trust you all will find this episode illuminating.

Universe Within Podcast Ep86 - José López Sánchez - Ayahuasca, Shipibos, & Master Plant Dietas Hey everybody! Episode 86 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with José López Sánchez. I have worked extensively with his sisters and mother, Lila, Laura, and Ynes, who I also interviewed in episodes 56 and 6. José is a highly-skilled and powerful Shipibo curandero, a doctor working with a traditional plant and energetic way of healing. He comes from a long line and family of healers and has been studying and working with plant medicines for a few decades now. In this episode, we talked about a number of subjects including his story, the Shipibos, ayahuasca, cosmovisions, and the importance of master plant dietas. José is quite special in that he has a mastery of both the Shipibo language as well as Spanish, and has worked with many Shipibos, mestizos, and foreigners. This ability to communicate this world of plant medicine and a knowledge of how different archetypal minds think is very unique and allows him to express sometimes esoteric or complex ideas in a language that a general public can easily understand and process. I’m sure you all will learn a lot from José. Thank you to Anne-Laure Vincke for the translation.

He trabajado mucho con sus hermanas y su madre, Lila, Laura e Ynes, a quienes también entrevisté en episodios 56 y 6. José es un curandero Shipibo altamente calificado y poderoso, un médico que trabaja con una tradicion de plantas y una forma energética de curación. Viene de una larga línea y familia de curanderos y ha estado estudiando y trabajando con plantas medicinales desde hace algunas décadas. En este episodio, hablamos sobre una serie de temas, incluida su historia, los Shipibos, la ayahuasca, las cosmovisiones y la importancia de las dietas de plantas maestras. José es bastante especial porque domina tanto el idioma Shipibo como el español, y ha trabajado con muchos Shipibos, mestizos y extranjeros. Esta habilidad para comunicar este mundo de la medicina vegetal y el conocimiento de cómo piensan las diferentes mentes arquetípicas es muy singular y le permite expresar ideas a veces esotéricas o complejas en un lenguaje que el público en general puede entender y procesar fácilmente. Estoy seguro de que todos aprenderán mucho de José. Gracias a Anne-Laure Vincke por la traducción.

Universe Within Podcast Ep85 - Anne-Laure Vincke - Ayahuasca, The Dieta, & The Medicine Path Hey everybody! Episode 85 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with my new friend Anne-Laure Vincke. Anne-Laure has been involved in the medicine path for many years and I recently met her while she was working at the Shipibo diet and ayahuasca center, Shipibo Rao, José Lopez’s center. It was a pleasure for me to sit down and speak with her and she has a deep experiential knowledge of having worked with a number of different medicines and traditions. We spoke about her history, her work with the Red Path, her time in Ecuador working with Wachuma, and her time working and living in the jungle with plant dietas and working with ayahuasca. She has a beautiful and humble presence about her and is able to share from personal experience the wisdom she has gained and I think you all will get a lot out of this episode. As always, to support this podcast, get early access to shows, bonus material, and Q&As, check out my Patreon page below. Enjoy! "Anne-Laure Vincke was born in Canada and raised in Belgium in a medical doctor’s family. Artist and Medicine Woman, she has been walking and learning on the plant medicine path in Europe, Ecuador, Mexico, Columbia, and Peru for 17 years. She began her journey of healing and spiritual reconnection at 19 with meditation in Nepal and India. At age 24 she started to train as a bodywork and breath-work therapist. At 26 she began to walk with the Red Path Tradition from where she received the blessings to run sweat lodges and Aguakolla (Watchuma) ceremonies. She began her initiation with Ayahuasca 12 years ago. Her call to master the art of healing led her to the Shipibo tradition. She started dieting Master Plants with Maestro Jose Lopez’s family in 2016 and began her apprenticeship with him in 2018. Now fully dedicated to working with Ayahuasca, Master plants, and Sweat lodges, she works at Shipibo Rao, Maestro Jose’s healing center in Peru, as a facilitator and closely collaborates with the center’s work and mission in many ways. She accompanies and assists Maestro Jose in healing retreats outside of Peru. Back home in Europe, she runs intimate medicine ceremonies, sweat lodges and gives individual treatments. Her art is guided by the plants, paintings are mostly born within her dietas space."

Universe Within Podcast Ep84 - Stephano Gutierrez - Wilca, Andean Cosmovision, & Ancestral Knowing Hey everybody! Episode 84 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with my friend Stephano Gutierrez Manrique. I met Stephano a couple of years ago as we both practice Brazilian Jiu-jitsu in the Sacred Valley of Peru where he lives and works. Stephano works with plant medicines, especially Wuachuma, Wilca, and DMT. He also has a very good knowledge of the Andean cosmovision and we had a really interesting conversation about plant medicines, Qero, and ancestral knowledge, and even touched on ancient civilizations. Stephano has a lot to share and I learned from this conversation and I think and hope you all will as well.

Universe Within Podcast Ep83 - Alonso del Rio - Ayahuasca, Ancestral Wisdom, & The Human Being Hey everybody! Episode 83 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Alonso del Rio. I had heard about Alonso for a number of years and two of my friends spoke very highly of him. Alonso is an ayahuasquero who lives and works in the Sacred Valley of Peru and has a medicine center, Ayahuasca Ayllu. He also wrote a very good book called Tawantinsuyo 5.0. I knew Alonso had a lot of wisdom to share and this interview lived up to my hope. Alonso has been immersed in this work for over forty years and is one of the first people I know to have worked with the Shipibo people. That experience and wisdom are evident when Alonso speaks, being able to bridge the world of plants to the daily world and to be able to bridge many concepts into ideas that are easy to understand. To me, this is a sign of wisdom and it was a pleasure and honor to have Alonso share in this deep conversation. Thank you to my friend Bruno Morey for the translation.

Alonso lleva más de cuarenta años inmerso en esta labor y es una de las primeras personas que conozco que ha trabajado con el pueblo Shipibo. Esa experiencia y sabiduría son evidentes cuando habla Alonso, poder unir el mundo de las plantas con el mundo cotidiano y poder unir muchos conceptos en ideas que son fáciles de entender.
