Madeleine Ryan

In this episode I interview Madeleine Ryan, Australian author of A Room Called Earth. After having been an actor, being diagnosed with autism and moving to the country, Madeleine is now working on a screen adaptation of her book. In this interview, Madeleine talks about creative work as a radical act, and a transformative practice -- why moments of discomfort are powerful opportunities for the intuitive, creative process. She talks about the importance of being honest with yourself and breaking the rules. She reflects on creativity as a way to develop tenderness with discomfort &amp; how ease can point out our greatest contribution to the world. She offers heartfelt non-advice recommendations for those wanting to write a book, and speaks of writing as a practice of radical self-acceptance.

Antoinette Beauchamp

In this episode I speak with Antoinette Beauchamp about Intuitive Scheduling and the ability to trust your inner compass for timing on meetings, launching projects and how to calendar your time in general. She talks about how to avoid burnout by blocking one-hour chunks in your day where you do something that brings you joy, instead of booking in a full day of meetings. She says that everyone is excited about a cancellation, because our lives are too full; therefore, there’s no reason to feel guilty when you cancel a meeting if it’s not the right timing. She talks about understanding the different cycles that you experience during the day, and limiting the number of times you do certain activities, like appointments. She describes the freedom of scheduling 2-hour blocks of what she calls ‘intuitive time’ (minus your phone) that allow for flashes of insight. We also talk about delegating, hiring/firing and the fear of being “too much”.

In this episode I speak with Eli Buren, a dedicated practitioner of over 20 years in yogic embodiment, awareness, martial arts, and outdoor leadership. He walks his talk with practices like qi gong, tea ceremony, sensory awareness, skin time and reverence. He describes how deepening our relationship with nature helps us appreciate each other more, and why it’s so important to become adept at both yin/yang aspects within ourselves: sharpness &amp; softness, ferocity &amp; vulnerability. He talks about how romantic love relationships naturally invite us into a place of being disturbed, and how turning toward discomfort can amplify intimacy and vitality. He shares why it’s so important for men to spend time with other men, gives helpful tips for women and shares powerful methods from his international men’s retreats.

Melissa Sell

In this episode I speak with Dr. Melissa Sell about how your body’s symptoms tell the story of your inner conflicts. She shares Germanic New Medicine as a system of understanding the vast intelligence of the body, and how biological programs trigger in the body as a response to stress, shock and trauma. She describes several examples of symptoms (i.e. joint pain, skin problems, stubborn weight gain) and what inner conflicts would cause those symptoms (i.e. I’m not good enough, feeling attacked, abandonment). She says that the moment that most of us wonder, “What’s wrong with me?” when physical symptoms arise, is when the body is actually in resolution mode. She offers a whole new way of understanding our body and encourages us to tap into our inner wisdom to make choices about our health.

Rose Kumar

In this episode I speak with Dr. Rose Kumar, founder of the Ommani Center and author of Becoming Real: Reclaiming Your Health in Midlife. She talks about how and why she left corporatized medicine 22 years ago to form her own private practice. She describes how 9 times out of 10 people intuitively know why they’re sick and how she practices medicine from a ‘how to transform the shadow’ perspective. She says that ‘getting over’ something can harm us, and how courageously making space for emotions prevents future illness. She describes the Four Body System, the difference between open and closed systems and how leaving a closed system is an act of self-love. She prefers the term ‘self-nourishment’ to self-love and encourages us to ask ourselves what nourishes us -- and do more of that.

Sarah Owens

In this episode I talk with baker and horticulturist, Sarah Owens, during her book tour launch of her third book: Heirloom.A James Beard Award winner, Sarah specializes in sourdough cultures and other types of fermentation, as well as locally-grown and heirloom ingredients.    We talk about why food preparation is so sacred and the beauty of making food with your hands. Hint: it transmits your own special essence to people who eat your food - through the microbiome (bacterial cultures) on your hands. We learn how working with unpredictable fermentation processes in food preparation can foster your own intuition -- helping you listen to and trust yourself more deeply.    Sarah is a proponent of using fresh-milled flours and sourdough starters that she’s personally developed, and she walks her talk: she’s made over 50,000 loaves of bread in the last 10 years and over 30,000 fermented grain cookies in the last two years!    Sarah talks about baking bread as one of her paths to self-awareness and self-care. We chat about the potential to gain personal insights during the alchemical process of baking bread, as well as the nature of fermentation, that it fosters cultures (both bacterial and people across the globe) and the spread of unique foods from around the world.    She describes how she travels the world to places like Mexico, Moscow, Georgia, Italy and Lebanon, teaching and learning about the fine art of fermentation in baking and cooking.

Frank Banuelos

This week I invited Frank Banuelos to talk about his new moving meditation class that’s based on Qi Gong-style healing movements that are centuries old, passed down to him by his Tai Chi teachers. It’s an hour-long class of simple, gentle movements that cleanse the organs and build up internal chi energy. He weaves together three different movement systems. My favorite? The 5-Animal Play: you embody five different animals -- bear, tiger, deer, monkey, and crane -- which balance the five major organs of your body.  If you’re the type of person that wants to meditate, but finds it hard to sit still, this is the perfect moving meditation practice. Or if you’re interested in learning how to direct and work with your own chi energy for more radiance, vitality and strength, you’ll love this episode.   I interviewed Frank about Tai Chi in episode 28 -- for over a decade he’s devoted himself to the martial arts, self-defense, and meditative aspects of a Yang Style form of Tai Chi brought to America by Master Fu Yan Ni.    Along with Tai Chi, this class is now being offered at the SAN Center:  5-Animal Forms, 8-Brocade &amp; Ancient Tai Chi Warm Up’s for Radiance &amp; Longevity
