Marla Durden, A Bright Light of Wisdom • Episode 9 • Free •
Marla Durden is one of those people I could talk with for hours. From an early age she became aware of subtle energy and has been studying it ever since. From hands-on healing to dowsing to BioGeometry, she has accrued a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience. She teaches and leads groups and runs a psycho-spiritual mentoring practice in Seattle. She is also quite familiar with the mushroom spirits and we begin the first hour discussing her connection with those teachers, and Marla has a lot to say on that subject. The conversation weaves into the topic of BioGeometry, which is about creating an energetic field through geometry “on steroids” to quote Marla.
From Propaganda to Parmenides: Good Craic with the Crimis • Episode 8 • Free
Steve and Krys Crimi run the publishing house, Logosophia Books, and I am honored to be one of their authors. They are wise elders with eyes to see and the wit, heart and wisdom to navigate this reality with clarity. I’ve been listening to them on Robert Phoenix’s Youtube channel, The Friday Farcast, for a number of years. With Robert, they’ve shared their depth of knowledge on subjects such as the esoteric roots of the USA, the work of magician, John Dee, the Frankfurt School, Tavistock, and much more.
In this episode our conversation delves beneath the current media narratives that have many people shaking their heads in incredulity. We discuss Steve’s upcoming book, Hermes Runs the Game, and delve into the Pilgrim Society, Tavistock, the godfather of propaganda, Edward Bernays, the Greek goddess, Metis, Parmenides, the origins of compulsory schooling in the US, and more.
I meet with Steve and Krys once every 6 weeks or so for a “good craic” and time melts into three, sometimes four hours of dynamic conversation. I am thrilled to share these brilliant thinkers with you and I know you will learn much from them. Do check out the excellent titles available on Logosophia Books including Steve’s book, Katabatic Wind, Good Craic Fueled by Fumes from the Abyss, which explores the feminine spirit, sacred geometry and number, and compares western and eastern sacred traditions. https://logosophiabooks.com/book/katabatic-wind/

Robert Phoenix: Astrology and the Next Few Years • Episode 5 • Free •
Astrology has been a powerful component in my retreats because of its extraordinary ability to reveal the inner workings of the persona. It provides a deeper understanding of the self and offers a hugely helpful head’s up for how to navigate the changing tides of worldly life.
Robert Phoenix is an astrologer par excellence, who has an uncanny ability to pinpoint the deeper layers at work on the world stage through the lens of astrology. He predicted the extraordinary upheaval of 2020 in mid-2019, which gave me the mental/emotional preparation I needed to navigate that year and beyond. His individual readings are highly astute and thorough, and have been a great help to me and others who have sought him out.
In this interview Robert begins by discussing the arc of how he found his way to his profession, beautifully illustrating how destiny forms through the winding path of our lives. He delves into the role of Saturn, the stern, planetary influence that is so prevalent today, and explains how to work with that essential, disciplining force. The second hour is a deep dive into the planetary influences for 2023 up to 2030, providing notice on the coming potential events and how to intelligently ride these powerful and world-changing energies. In this way, we are prepared mentally and emotionally to rise to the enormous opportunities these times afford us.

Patrick MacManaway: Dowser & Land Whisperer • Episode 3 • Free •
Patrick MacManaway is a soft-spoken unassuming Scot, and a real-deal, gifted dowser and land-whisperer. In this interview he shares of his upbringing in a family of mediums and healers, and delivers a treasure-trove of wisdom on communicating with the intelligences of the landscape, divination, dowsing, the nature of time, elementals, and the extraordinary power of human love.
In the second hour Patrick shares stories on his successful negotiations with plant spirits, animals, the spirit of water, and the ghostly spirits he has assisted to return “home.” This sounds impossible to many but this is an art that was once commonplace in cultures around the world, and Patrick has had stunning results with his approach. We spend an additional half hour sharing my recent story of the poltergeist that showed up very suddenly in my Vermont cottage. Always good to have a man like Patrick on speed dial!
Life is far more mysterious and wondrous than we know, and it is unique people like Patrick who graciously offer the keys for all who wish to learn.
