Universe Within Podcast Ep138 - Scott Stanley - Ayahuasca, Religious Freedom, Legality & the DEA
Universe Within Podcast Ep138 - Scott Stanley - Ayahuasca, Religious Freedom, Legality & the DEA
Hey everybody! Episode 138 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Scott Stanley. Scott is the founder of the ayahuasca church, Arizona Yage Assembly (AYA) as well as the North American Association of Visionary Churches (NAAVC). I was interested to bring Scott on to speak about the legal status of plant sacraments in the US. I think Scott is a really good representative in that he has been involved in a legal battle with the US government over religious freedom and actually is suing the DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) and seems to be in a good position. We spoke about his background, ayahuasca, the history of churches and religious freedom in the States, principles and morality, and why he’s involved in doing this work. I think its a very relevant conversation in regard to plant medicines and I hope you all find it insightful.

“Scott Stanley has spent some 15 years working with ayahuasca and Amazonian master plants. He has led over 500 ayahuasca ceremonies across the US, since founding the ayahuasca church, Arizona Yage Assembly (AYA) in 2015. He also founded the North American Association of Visionary Churches (NAAVC). Both organizations have sued the Drug Enforcement Agency to ensure free and legal access to the visionary practice of religion. His organizations have worked to bring combat vets into ayahuasca ceremonies through support of the veteran led AYA Mission. AYA has also started a nature conservancy for preserving the virgin rainforest of the upper amazon.AYA currently conducts bi-weekly ceremonies in their ceremonial maloca in Tucson, AZ.”

Universe Within Podcast Ep137 - Marta Fabregat - Tree Medicine, Plants & Somatics
Hey everybody! Episode 137 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Marta Fabregat. Marta was recommended to me by a mutual friend, Cathy Coyle. Marta is one of Cathy’s teachers and I trust Cathy’s recommendations so I was sure Marta would have a lot to share, and she did. We spoke about Marta’s background, her working in Ecuador with Huachuma, her past with activism, how that lead her to Ireland, and how she now bridges multiple approaches including somatics into plant medicine work. We spoke about her work with trees and learning directly from them via the dieta, and this was very fascinating to me as its very similar work to what I do. I was really impressed by Marta’s knowledge and presence and I think you all will gain a lot out of this episode.

“I hold trainings in-person and online in Ireland. Spain and Turkey, teaching Focusing and Nonviolent Communication, Meditation and Nature Connection.
My approach is rooted in somatic body-oriented work ( Focusing ), nature connection and humanistic approaches, meaning that: I focus on the experiences that are most relevant for you at this point in your life, in a respectful, non-judgemental and nourising space, with active support to your experience in the present moment.
During our time together my core principle is to create a space that is safe and welcoming and that our relationship is at the core of our work together. I aim to offer the person a space where they can experience their authenticity and diversity and support them to discover their unique solutions and ways to find them. Improving their relationship with themselves & people around them.
My interest in emotional well-being, health and compassionate relating keeps informing me of my next steps in training and personal development. I have learned over the years from Marshall Rosenberg’s work (NVC and Conflict), Eugene Gendlin (The philosophy of the implicit and focusing-related research), Daniel Siegel (neuroscience), Claudio Naranjo (The eneagram and introductory training in SAT program), Peter Levine (trauma and somatic accompaniment), Thomas Hubl (Collective Trauma), Stephen Porgues (Polyvagal Theory), Bert Hellinger (systemic family system).”

Universe Within Podcast Ep136 - Max Monge Quineche - Ayahuasca, Shipibo, Psychotherapy, & Myth
Hey everybody! Episode 136 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Max Monge Quineche. I met Max a couple of years ago in a shared temazcal in the Sacred Valley of Peru. I was impressed by his presence in the space and out and got to know him a bit and learn of his work with ayahuasca and the Shipibo. So it was a pleasure to finally sit down and speak with him on the podcast after a few years time. We spoke about his background and coming to plant medicines at an early age, his challenges, the plant dieta, knowledge and wisdom, Western and indigenous cosmovisions, family constellation, and much more. I was really impressed by his wisdom and I think his work with plants really shows in how and what he expresses. For those interested in ayahuasca and plant medicine work, I think this is one of the more informative talks you’ll find.

Universe Within Podcast Ep134 - Shonagh Home - Mushrooms, Faeries, Celts, & Logos
Universe Within Podcast Ep134 - Shonagh Home - Mushrooms, Faeries, Celts, & Logos
Hey everybody! Episode 134 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Shonagh Home. I found out that Shonagh is a mutual friend of mine, Cathy Coyle, who I also had on the podcast and have a lot of respect for. So having Shonagh on was a real pleasure. Shonagh recently published a really good book called Poetic Whispers. We spoke about her book as well as her background, her initiation into mushrooms, plant medicines, her study of the Celts, her transmission of poetry, natural law and logic, as well as many other topics. It was a really beautiful and deep conversation and I’m sure you all will gain a lot from her wisdom.

“I am an independent thinker and ever curious about the deeper layers of reality. I dig beneath the surface story in an effort to see the bigger picture and gain a greater understanding while utilizing my intuition and insight. I find the psyche endlessly fascinating and I am in awe of its great depth and mystery. I love to learn and have been an autodidact for the greater part of my life. My favorite saying goes, “Every man has two educations. The first he is given. The second, more important, he gives to himself.” I thoroughly enjoy showering clients and loved ones with helpful wisdom, compassion, humor and nurturing. I am a mother of two amazing daughters and a lifelong, passionate student of the mystery.
In my work, I am a teacher, counselor, author and poet. Of Celtic heritage, I follow the wisdom of the ancients, inspired by the Ban Draoi (dree) and fili, (Gaelic for a Celtic medicine woman/seer/poet). As a modern medicine woman I bring my connection to nature and the spirit worlds into my flourishing practice where I host individual retreats and do online counseling/mentoring with clients from all over the world. This is deep, psycho-spiritual work where we delve into the rich territory of the psyche. I cherish the mystical and the practical and I weave my knowledge of Natural Law, the Logical Fallacies, and traditional food wisdom into my work.
I have studied with master teachers and for the last 12 years, I have apprenticed myself to the mushroom teachers, who have led me into profound connection with the spirits of nature and my ancestral roots.”

Universe Within Podcast Ep135 - Tony Moss - Ayahuasca, Music, & Myth
Hey everybody! Episode 135 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Tony Moss. I had known about Tony for a while and, as we spoke about in the show, he came to this plant medicine work over 35 years ago. We sat down and spoke about his life, his career in music, his work with ayahuasca and how that shaped his music into medicine music, his learning with different indigenous traditions, his path in bridging these traditions with Western traditions, and the role of elders. I was really happy to have Tony on to share in his wisdom and I think you all will get a lot out of this episode.

“As a recording artist, producer, and creative director at I.AM.LIFE MUSIC, my focus is music as medicine.
Born from a musical family of R&B/Gospel singers, raised & immersed in California's psychedelic/spiritual cultures, and inspired by over 25 years experience working with plant medicines, I combine elements of science & shamanism with multiple music genres to create music that's been dubbed, "soulful-ceremonial" - that's close enough.
At this point in my life, everything I create and offer is motivated by a commitment to the elevation and expansion of human consciousness... or something like that.”

Universe Within Podcast Ep120 - Jacob Toddson - Nordic & Celtic Traditions & the Wisdom of Odin
Hey everybody! Episode 120 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Jacob Toddson. Jacob has a really excellent YouTube channel called The Wisdom of Odin where he explores his own journey delving into his wandering the ancient world in search of information pertaining to the religions of the past. Jacob is a photographer by trade and it really shows in the production value of his videos. I was really impressed by his work and his looking into, speaking about, and educating about ancient traditions, especially those of Nordic and Celtic traditions. As this has become part of my own work, I was really happy to have Jacob on to talk about his own journey and what he has learned along the way. We had a really nice conversation and I think you all will learn a lot from him and this episode.

"I am currently wandering the ancient world, in search of information pertaining to the religions of the past. I am not a historian, or any form of scholar, I am a photographer who wishes to capture the beliefs of the past first hand. I do this by practicing these ancient traditions, and talking with others who still keep old beliefs alive today. I believe by wandering and sharing this information, I can help breathe new life into the old ways, as well as get one step closer to the wisdom of Odin.”

Hey everybody! Episode 119 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Rune Hjarnø Rasmussen. Rune was introduced to me by a listener of the podcast. It was serendipitous timing as I had been wanting to bring on guests to speak more about European myth and tradition, especially about Celtic and Nordic traditions. So it was a pleasure to sit down with Rune and have him share in his experience with Nordic animism, myth, his work in general, and also his time with the Brazilian Candomblé tradition. He has a really good YouTube channel as well where he speaks about these topics. I think you all will be interested by and get a lot out of this episode.

"Rune Hjarnø Rasmussen is an historian of religion, Ph.d., educated from the Universities of Uppsala and Copenhagen.
Rune has lived in many countries and done fieldwork in a number of contemporary (primarily Afro-descendant) religions, but since childhood he has had Nordic religion as a strong field of interest.
Today Rune is working on applying contemporary developments in anthropology to rethink the way we address Nordic religion both in terms of scholarship, but also as a reservoir of cultural knowledge for environmental activism and sustainability sensitization.”

Universe Within Podcast Ep118 - Larry Pahl - The Pyramids of Giza & Sacred Geometry
Hey everybody! Episode 118 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Larry Pahl. Larry was introduced to me by a mutual friend who is a fan of Larry’s work. As someone who is deeply interested in ancient cultures, esoteric wisdom, and the interconnectedness of life and cultures, the pyramids of Giza have fascinated me since childhood. Therefore Larry was a wonderful guest to bring on as all of these are his specialty. He has been studying the pyramids of Giza for decades and has made a number of discoveries. I think he does a beautiful job at bridging both the more rational scientific views as well as bringing in the often forgotten theological views. This was a fascinating conversation and I hope to do a part two as a follow up and go deeper into his findings. As always, to support this podcast, get early access to shows, bonus material, and Q&As, check out my Patreon page below. Enjoy!
"Larry has been studying the Egyptian pyramids for decades. He has made presentations of his discoveries at major Egyptological conferences. He directs our work in the field and maintains contact with our associates around the world. He has led 10 tours to Egypt and outfitted several research expeditions which have yielded major discoveries including the Holy Shaft and Circle, the origin of the Fibonacci Spiral that goes through the center of 4 Giza pyramids, the complete correlation of Orion stars on Egyptian soil, the Hemiunu Template, and the deciphering of pavement markings around Giza.”

Universe Within Podcast Ep116 - Satya - Plant Medicines, Modern Therapy-Ancient Wisdom, & Education
Universe Within Podcast Ep116 - Satya - Plant Medicines, Modern Therapy-Ancient Wisdom, & Education
Hey everybody! Episode 116 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Satya. Satya’s assistant had reached out me about a year ago but unfortunately I was busy at that time, but serendipitously our paths crossed when I was recently in Portugal running dieta, and as things would have it, it was much nicer to do this interview in person. Satya has a beautiful presence and is doing great work in this field of plant medicines, integration, therapeutics, education, and merging differing modalities into one. I really enjoyed this conversation and getting to know Satya and having her share in her background, from her work at Billabong to training with ayahuasca under José Campos in the Peruvian Amazon, her embarking on the Red Path, and what she has learned and how she is weaving various modalities together. It was a real pleasure and I’m sure you all will gain something from this interview.

Universe Within Podcast Ep115 - Josh Schrei - Emerald Podcast, Animism & Psychologizing of Society
Universe Within Podcast Ep115 - Josh Schrei - Emerald Podcast, Animism & Psychologizing of Society
Hey everybody! Episode 115 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Josh Schrei. Josh has an excellent podcast called The Emerald. A few episodes were recommended to me and after listening I could see why. Josh speaks excellently on themes such as animism, shamanism, religion, myth, and is a story teller in the truest sense of the word. His podcast is excellently produced and is engaging, informative, thought provoking, and really shows the wisdom that Josh carries in order to produce such a fantastic show. So it was an honor to have him come on my podcast and share a bit of his wisdom. I trust you all will get a lot out of this episode.

“Brought to life through the wise, wild, and humorous vision of Joshua Michael Schrei — a writer, teacher, and lifelong student of the cosmologies and mythologies of the world — The Emerald draws from a deep well of poetry, lore, and mythos to challenge conventional narratives on politics and public discourse, meditation and mindfulness, art, science, literature, and more. Schrei looks at the most salient issues of our day through a timeless prism — you’ve probably never heard the issue of gun control explored through the medium of the ancient yogic texts and Arthurian legends, or Neil DeGrasse Tyson’s assertions about science and civilization rebutted with Siberian folklore.
At the heart of the podcast is the premise that the imaginative, poetic, animate heart of human experience — elucidated by so many cultures over so many thousands of years — is missing in modern discourse and is urgently needed at a time when humanity is facing unprecedented problems. The Emerald advocates for an imaginative vision of human life and human discourse as it questions deep underlying assumptions about societal progress.
As likely to source from the Wu Tang Clan as the ancient Indian Vedas, and featuring guests such as anthropologist and award-winning author Wade Davis, award-winning author Ann Wroe, noted indigenous author Tyson Yunkaporta and more, The Emerald offers a green glint of wonder in a world that needs to be reacquainted with its own beating heart.”
