Embrace the Darkness: The Spiritual Significance of the New Moon & Walking with the Dark
Wednesday Aug 16, 2023
Wednesday Aug 16, 2023
It's a foggy morning with a new moon above the land of The Sanctuary. Big energy shift, do you feel it? My dreams were wild and empowering. But how comfortable are we to truly embrace the darkness? What can the ancient wisdom of Andean Cosmology teach us in this ancestral process?
We often celebrate the full moon, but I have personally experienced deep shifts and cosmic magic with the new moons, too. New Moon symbolizes a fresh start, a blank slate. In its darkness, we find the potential for growth and renewal. Light will grow from this darkness following the cosmic cycles we are so weaved with. Its energy urges us to focus inward and align with our deeper selves. The journey from darkness to light is an opportunity to set intentions, manifest goals, and begin new projects.
Explore with me this fascinating topic.

Cycles, Life & Death, Suffering & Hope
Thursday Jan 26, 2023
Thursday Jan 26, 2023
Mother nature is cyclical, so we are. All that is born, lives, and dies… It is not something we can control.
Embracing this knowledge helps to understand life’s fragility, the importance of being present, the wisdom of acceptance and letting go.
In this tender talk, an interview with Gabriela Dias, Tantric Birth & Death Doula, I explore how to navigate life challenges while finding meaning along the way.

The Magical Call of your ancient prayer. How to listen? How to answer?
Wednesday Sep 07, 2022
Wednesday Sep 07, 2022
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.

“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.”

Touching the Divine Through Embodied Consent
Friday May 28, 2021
Friday May 28, 2021
Join us for a conversation and practice to learn simple tools to engage more consciously with the world — from our relationships with one another to our relationship with the earth.
Consent goes beyond touch and beyond the bedroom, and it touches every aspect of our lives. The more you connect with the wisdom in your body, the more authentic your expressions become — whether it’s stating what you want for yourself, or what you are willing to engage in with another.
In this episode we explore:
Connecting to subtle sensation and a feeling of aliveness
Connecting to your yes and no and feeling it in your the body
The challenges of asking for what you want and putting your desires forward

The Mystical Positivist - Part 2 - Interview
Tuesday Apr 09, 2019
Tuesday Apr 09, 2019
"The Mystical Positivist," is dedicated to the application of reason in the pursuit of spiritual practice and development. I look to this format to be challenging and a bit controversial in that the New Age community tends to have an overly romantic picture of the gritty pursuit of spiritual transformation. My thesis is that rationality is in no way the antithesis of deep mystical experience, in fact, I assert that it is a necessary ally - hence the blog name "Mystical Positivist."

Deep Intimacy
Tuesday Jan 08, 2019
Tuesday Jan 08, 2019
Our capacity to feel a deep intimacy with others is directly linked to our capacity to feel that intimacy with ALL of ourselves, including our pain, shame, anger, grief, and all our trauma. Only through self-work and through "opening the conversation" with ourselves and others can we dive to the depth of Intimacy, the depth of knowing who we are. We need to become comfortable with the uncomfortable.

Death, The Great Mystery
Sunday Jan 29, 2017
Sunday Jan 29, 2017
Death. It is a great Mystery. In the West, we “hide” from death very often and are scared of it. In Native society and ancient wisdom, Death is seen as a powerful portal and embraced with more Love and clarity.
