How to rewild learning: Animism, ancestral wisdom & experiential learning - Aidan Wachter

about a year ago 1:08:25

MP3•Episode home

This week’s show is with Aidan Wachter, an animist, author, and healer. Aidan has been involved in practical magic since the 1980s. He is an animist and is deeply concerned with the effects of modern Western life-ways on the human animal, on both physical and spiritual levels.

Aidan views a living magical practice as a path to heal many of the problems we face today and a way of being that is intrinsic to the creatures we are. He is the author of Six Ways: Approaches & Entries to Practical Magic and Weaving Fate: Hypersigils, Changing the Past & Telling True Lies, and Changeling: A Book Of Qualities.

In this episode, Lian and Aidan dive deep into the essence of teaching and learning, weaving together themes of projections, archetypes, and the transformative power of experiential education. They explore how modern conditioning distances us from innate learning processes and highlight the profound connection between learning and remembrance.

Lian and Aidan challenge conventional views of teaching, advocating for an approach that honours individual journeys and the unique keys each of us carries to unlock deeper truths.

Ultimately, this episode invites listeners to remember their inherent knowledge, embrace the beauty of being both teacher and student, and rediscover their place in a conscious, living world.

We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

Teaching as a Vessel of Discovery Teaching is not about having all the answers; it is about creating a space for others to access their own wisdom. Through teaching, we often uncover truths about ourselves, fostering a mutual journey of growth and understanding.
Learning as Remembrance Rather than acquiring new information, true learning is a process of remembering what is already within us. This remembrance connects us to ancestral knowledge, past lives, and the communal nature of existence, offering a profound sense of interconnectedness.
Rewilding Education Experiential learning rekindles our natural ability to trust our own experiences, breaking free from the conditioning of traditional education. By rewilding our approach to knowledge, we reconnect with animism and the wisdom of a conscious, interconnected universe.

The Goddess returns: Restoring Her as a metaphysical truth - Mike Bais 55:29

4 days ago55:29

55:29

In this week’s show Lian is joined once again by Mike Bais. Mike is Lian’s own Kabbalah teacher, a physiotherapist, counsellor, university lecturer and author, also having had his own practice for many years. He is a trained priest in the esoteric christian tradition, which lead him to follow the mystical side of this lineage called the A.S.A. (Apostolic Succession of Arimathea). He believes that the Teachings of Christ are universal and should not be limited to a religious structure. His esoteric training comes from the western mystery tradition and the Toledano Kabbalah. Living in the Netherlands (Utrecht) he extensively worked with teachers and groups in the UK. After some decades of study and practice in the western esoteric tradition, the inner work came together in these three streams or disciplines that make up the Circle of Avalon. Mike sees it as his life’s work to teach these traditions to whomever wishes to receive them. He is a mystic and teacher by nature and through his groups, individual sessions, workshops and writing, transmits them in the most pure and true way he knows. Mike is the author of 3 books: Paths on the Tree of Wisdom – A course in 21st Century Kabbalah , A Kabbalistic view on science: Book 1 and A Kabbalistic view on science: Book 2 . In this episode, Lian and Mike explore the sacred return of the Goddess as both a metaphysical truth and a living force within creation. Together, they journey through the ancient traditions that once honoured her, the distortions that led to her exile, and the path of remembrance that is now unfolding… personally, collectively, and spiritually. This is a conversation that reaches far beyond symbols or stories, into the very structure of existence. Lian reflects on how the Goddess often first speaks to us through dreams, symbols, or visceral moments in nature, long before we understand her metaphysical roots. Mike offers a crystalline transmission of her role as the body of creation itself, sharing insights from the Kabbalah, the Asa tradition, and his own devotion to restoring her presence within spiritual life. They also explore the risks of over-personalising archetypal experience, the need for balance between the God and Goddess, and the humility required to truly let her transform us. At the heart of their conversation is a powerful remembering… the Goddess has never left. She is the fertile earth beneath our feet, the womb of every form, the shimmering thread of the divine clothed in matter. What has been forgotten is not her presence, but our capacity to see her. This episode is a call to reawaken that vision, and to live as if she truly is the body of the world. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: How the Goddess is not merely symbolic or a mythical story but a metaphysical principle, matter itself infused with the divine Why the erasure of the feminine from spiritual traditions created imbalance, and how restoring her brings both beauty and truth back to creation How to recognise the subtle ways the Goddess calls to you… and why honouring that call with humility and discernment matters more than ever Resources and stuff spoken about: Mike’s websites: http://www.circleofavalon.nl http://www.kabbalahmysticalschool.com Mike’s 2 part online workshop, 24th & 31st July 2025 - An Introduction to the Toledano Kabbalah Episode 470: The true Eve: How to 'transgress' into your power - Vanya Leilani Join UNIO, the Academy of the Soul: This is for the old souls in this new world… Discover your kin & unite with your soul’s calling to truly live your myth.

Could ancient Egypt hold a hidden message about who we really are? - John Wadsworth 47:41

11 days ago47:41

47:41

This week’s show is with John Wadsworth. John has been practising as an astrologer since the early 1990s, and has been running the (professionally accredited) Kairos School of Astrology since 2010. He is the author of the book ' Your Zodiac Soul ', and is the founder of The Alchemical Journey, a zodiac mystery school based in Glastonbury. John is also an experienced tour guide of sacred sites: he regularly leads pilgrimages in the Glastonbury Zodiac and, inspired by his long-term passion for all things Egyptian, he has recently begun leading tours of Ancient Egypt, focussing on its ancient star-lore. In this episode, Lian and John explore Egypt not only as a place, but as a frequency, a mirror, and a memory. Rooted in John's vivid experience inside the King's Chamber of the Great Pyramid, their conversation becomes a gateway to much more… a layered contemplation of ancient wisdom, astrological alignments, sacred acoustics, and the living intelligence encoded in the stones themselves. They trace the threads of time and place… the conjunctions of planetary bodies and political uprisings… the strange sense of remembering something we never learned. John reflects on how these ancient structures speak not only to the stars, but to the soul, and how visiting them with reverence can awaken us to a deeper cosmology, one that unites science and spirit rather than dividing them. They invite reflection on what it means to live in an age where the official story is crumbling… and how the myths, temples, and alignments of Egypt may be rising again to guide us through the cracks. Together, they explore what it means to live as modern humans shaped by forgotten civilisations, and how reclaiming that lineage may reshape both individual and collective destiny. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: Why sacred sites like Giza still carry an energetic charge… and how sound, geometry, and planetary timing converge to create thresholds of transformation How ancient Egypt’s alignment with Sirius and the precessional ages reveals a far older, more advanced cosmology than mainstream history allows What the myth of progress conceals… and how remembering the wisdom of ancient civilisations can open new paths of healing, coherence, and meaning Resources and stuff spoken about: Visit John’s Website Website for Egypt Tours Upcoming Courses & Pilgrimages 19 - 21 September 2025: 2-Day Glastonbury Zodiac Milky Way Pilgrimage 23 - 28 October 2025: 'Planets Alive' Astrodrama Retreat in Glastonbury 14 Oct 2025 - 16 June 2026: Foundation Course in Astrological Studies (online training) 9 Feb - 22 Feb 2026: Star-Lore Tour of Ancient Egypt - 13 Day Tour Join UNIO, the Academy of Sacred Union.

Dame Ragnell & Sir Gawain from Arthurian legend show us what women want - Lian Brook-Tyler 24:36

18 days ago24:36

24:36

In this episode, Lian shares the soul-stirring Arthurian legend of Dame Ragnell and Sir Gawain. Each month, Lian tells a mythical tale… as spell, as memory, as invitation... not to be analysed or consumed, but to be felt, stirred, remembered as a magical doorway into your own soul. She first shared this live with our beloved community in UNIO, our Academy of the Soul, in which we continue to journey more deeply together with it in a month-long quest. To join us for the next mythical quest, you can join UNIO here: bemythical.com/unio The tale of Dame Ragnell and Sir Gawain is one of the most evocative and surprising myths in the Arthurian tradition. Here, a riddle threatens a king's life. A monstrous woman names her price. And a knight, Sir Gawain, offers what no one else dares. The question posed sounds simple: What is it that women most desire? But the answer, when it finally comes, changes everything. Through this myth, we’re offered a mirror: of choice, honour, and the transformative power of love that sees beyond appearances. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll receive from this episode: A Question That Cuts to the Core: What women most desire becomes a sacred riddle, not only for Arthur to solve, but for all of us to sit with. Sir Gawain’s Gift: His courage to offer himself, without hesitation or condition, becomes the heart of the story’s turning. His honour opens the door to transformation. Sovereignty as Salvation: True freedom lies in choice, and in granting others the right to choose for themselves, we can restore wholeness.

The 12 Sacred Wounds and medicine of the zodiac - John Wadsworth 1:29:46

25 days ago1:29:46

1:29:46

This week’s show is with John Wadsworth. John has been practising as an astrologer since the early 1990s, and has been running the (professionally accredited) Kairos School of Astrology since 2010. He is the author of the book ' Your Zodiac Soul ', and is the founder of The Alchemical Journey, a zodiac mystery school based in Glastonbury. John is also an experienced tour guide of sacred sites: he regularly leads pilgrimages in the Glastonbury Zodiac and, inspired by his long-term passion for all things Egyptian, he has recently begun leading tours of Ancient Egypt, focussing on its ancient star-lore. In this episode, Lian is joined by John to explore the 12 sacred wounds of the zodiac, weaving together astrology, myth, and embodied healing. What begins as a conversation about John's personal journey into astrology unfolds into a profound exploration of how the signs of the zodiac reflect not only our personality traits, but the core wounds and medicines we carry through life. John shares his awakening to astrology through a mysterious encounter, an experience that cracked him open to a deeper cosmological reality. From there, he began mapping the wounds of each sign, concise, piercing truths that illuminate the archetypal challenges we all face. Together, he and Lian explore these wounds through the lens of the sun, moon, rising, and even Chiron, the archetype of the Wounded Healer. Along the way, they touch on myths, mantras, and astrological medicine that invite healing not through avoidance, but through full-bodied presence. Throughout the conversation, they reflect on everything from the shame of Aries to the beauty wound of Libra, the longing of Cancer to the mistrust of Scorpio. Whether you know your chart intimately or only your sun sign, this episode is a rich, reflective guide to the wounds you carry… and the deeper soul gifts waiting to emerge. Listen with your whole being. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: Why the signs of the zodiac are not just descriptions, but sacred initiations through which we meet our core wounds and discover our deepest medicine How John’s own story, including a near-death visionary experience, led him to uncover the embodied and mythic depths of astrology Why acknowledging your wound (through your sun, moon, rising, or Chiron) is the beginning of transformation… and how the zodiac can be a map to wholeness Resources and stuff spoken about: Visit John’s Website Website for Egypt Tours Upcoming Courses & Pilgrimages 19 - 21 September 2025: 2-Day Glastonbury Zodiac Milky Way Pilgrimage 23 - 28 October 2025: 'Planets Alive' Astrodrama Retreat in Glastonbury 14 Oct 2025 - 16 June 2026: Foundation Course in Astrological Studies (online training) 9 Feb - 22 Feb 2026: Star-Lore Tour of Ancient Egypt - 13 Day Tour Join UNIO, the Academy of Sacred Union.

How to let the 3 primal archetypes empower you - Michael Perez 1:02:59

5 weeks ago1:02:59

1:02:59

This week’s show is with Michael Perez. Michael didn't just learn the standard toolkits – he hit their limits early on (back in the 90s!) and dedicated years to figuring out *what really works* at the deepest levels of the human mind, modeling the true masters like Erickson beyond the textbook explanations. When the neuroscience revolution hit, he wasn't just an observer; he was actively integrating groundbreaking discoveries about the brain, the unconscious, and trance states into a *unified field theory* of change while mainstream psychology was still catching up. His exploration wasn't just academic; studies in Aikido, Zen, anthropology, and primatology revealed the power of primal states modern life forces us to forget. Then, facing a potentially career-ending physical crisis that left him crippled and in constant pain, he didn't just cope – he *innovated*. Using his unique synthesis of neuroscience and hypnosis, he developed new techniques *on himself* to overcome the pain and retrain his body, proving the power of the mind-body connection in the most demanding way possible. This crucible forged the core of the "Neuron Code." Decades of international training, coaching C-suite leaders, pioneering remote work, and deep cultural immersion haven't just given him experience; they've given him unparalleled insight into *how humans actually operate* beneath the surface. In this conversation, Lian and Michael explore the enduring presence of three primal archetypes: the Leader, the Hunter-Gatherer and the Shaman, and how these ancient roles continue to shape our lives in ways that are often hidden but deeply felt. They reflect on instinct as a form of intelligence, one that lives in the body and knows what the mind often forgets. The leader carries vision across time. The gatherer sinks into rhythm and flow. The shaman enters altered states and returns with truth carried in symbol and story. Rooted in humour, myth and embodied wisdom, this episode is a remembering. A call to reawaken what is already within you. The roles may be ancient, but they are still alive, waiting to be claimed. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: How the leader lives in all of us: The one who remembers, who looks ahead, who can speak vision into being. The hunter-gatherer’s trance: How flow arises when instinct and movement become one, allowing us to work not harder, but deeper, and in flow. Which is not only more effective but more fulfilling. The role of the shaman: The one who walks beyond the veil, gathering meaning from the spaces between, and returning with something true Resources and stuff spoken about: Michael’s Website Join UNIO, the Academy of Sacred Union.

The sovereign child: Remembering how to parent in ancestral ways - Arthur Haines 1:06:24

6 weeks ago1:06:24

1:06:24

This week’s show is with Arthur Haines. Arthur is a Maine hunting, fishing, and recreation guide, forager, ancestral skills mentor, author, public speaker, and botanical researcher. He grew up in the western mountains of Maine, a rural area that was home to swift streams known for their trout fishing. He spent most of his childhood in the Sandy River Valley hiking, tracking, and foraging. Arthur now runs the Delta Institute of Natural History in Canton, Maine, where he teaches human ecology, focusing on the values of foraging, wildcrafting medicine, and primitive living skills. He continues to spend a great deal of his free time practicing his skills as a modern hunter-gatherer. In 2017, he authored “A New Path”, a comprehensive work on nature connection and rewilding, detailing how to incorporate ancestral practices into modern living. As a research botanist for the Native Plant Trust, he completed an inclusive flora of the New England region titled “ Flora Novae Angliae ” and has authored over twenty publications in peer-reviewed journals and books, including naming species of plants new to science. His series of YouTube videos has inspired thousands of people interested in foraging wild edible and medicinal plants. In this show, Lian and Arthur explore if our attempts to control and shape our children are not only unnecessary, but a wound to their sovereignty? In this evocative and deeply human conversation, Lian is joined once again by Arthur Haines to explore what it means to parent in a way that honours the innate wholeness of the child. Together, they journey through the emotional and practical landscape of ancestral child rearing… touching on everything from physical punishment and coercive control, to co-sleeping, mixed age play, and the essential power of physical touch. Arthur offers stories from his own family alongside insights drawn from hunter gatherer societies, where sovereignty is not earned… it is assumed. Throughout the conversation, they reflect on how so many of our cultural norms – even well intentioned ones – can fracture the nervous systems of both child and parent. This episode is a remembrance, an invitation, and a reclamation… calling us back to a more natural, compassionate, and connected way of raising the next generation. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: The illusion of control in modern parenting can fracture trust and deplete both parent and child… offering sovereignty instead creates a foundation of mutual respect and deep connection. Physical punishment, even when socially normalised, models domination, damages cognitive development, and teaches children that love and harm can coexist. Returning to ancestral patterns, including co-sleeping, mixed age community, touch-based communication, and high indulgence of infants, supports emotional resilience and deepens parent child bonds.

Lucid reality: How to dream yourself awake - Robert Waggoner 52:00

8 weeks ago52:00

52:00

This week’s show is with Robert Waggoner. Robert has had more than 1,000 lucid dreams and has taught workshops on four continents, helping people learn how to become lucidly aware in their dreams, and then use this unique state to access inner creativity, promote emotional and physical healing, engage a responsive inner awareness and more! Robert Waggoner wrote the acclaimed book, Lucid Dreaming - Gateway to the Inner Self and the award winning, Lucid Dreaming Plain and Simple (with co-author Caroline McCready) and his books have been translated into eight languages. He co-edits the free online magazine, Lucid Dreaming Experience and serves on the Executive Committee of the International Association for the Study of Dreams. In this episode, Lian is joined by Robert to explore the profound ways our dreams reveal how we shape our waking reality. Together, they journey through how beliefs and expectations become powerful forces within our dream worlds, illuminating striking parallels to how we consciously and unconsciously create our lives while awake. Through personal anecdotes and reflective insights, they navigate the rich landscapes of the dreaming mind, uncovering hidden truths about reality itself. Robert shares vivid stories illustrating how doubt acts like gravity within dreams, anchoring us firmly back to the ground, and how liberating beliefs can effortlessly lift us into higher realms of possibility - in dreams and everyday life alike. They discuss practical techniques for energising neutral beliefs to intentionally shift our waking experiences, offering listeners a playful yet potent approach to consciously reshaping reality. Central to their conversation is a profound recognition of the interconnectedness between consciousness, beliefs, and the realities we perceive. Drawing inspiration from mythological and spiritual wisdom, Lian and Robert reflect on how lucid dreaming offers a direct pathway into deeper self-awareness, healing, and meaningful transformation.

Before words: How to remember our first language - Michael Perez 58:35

9 weeks ago58:35

58:35

This week’s show is with Michael Perez. Michael didn't just learn the standard toolkits – he hit their limits early on (back in the 90s!) and dedicated years to figuring out *what really works* at the deepest levels of the human mind, modeling the true masters like Erickson beyond the textbook explanations. When the neuroscience revolution hit, he wasn't just an observer; he was actively integrating groundbreaking discoveries about the brain, the unconscious, and trance states into a *unified field theory* of change while mainstream psychology was still catching up. His exploration wasn't just academic; studies in Aikido, Zen, anthropology, and primatology revealed the power of primal states modern life forces us to forget. Then, facing a potentially career-ending physical crisis that left him crippled and in constant pain, he didn't just cope – he *innovated*. Using his unique synthesis of neuroscience and hypnosis, he developed new techniques *on himself* to overcome the pain and retrain his body, proving the power of the mind-body connection in the most demanding way possible. This crucible forged the core of the "Neuron Code." Decades of international training, coaching C-suite leaders, pioneering remote work, and deep cultural immersion haven't just given him experience; they've given him unparalleled insight into *how humans actually operate* beneath the surface. In this conversation, Lian is joined by Michael to explore the deeper roots of human communication… not just as a tool of language, but as a primal, somatic inheritance. Together, they trace the evolution of how we’ve spoken, felt, and connected through time - from the open plains of early endurance hunting to the quiet, intuitive knowing between two bodies in a room. Michael shares captivating insights into our pre-linguistic ways of relating, where emotional resonance, body awareness, and subtle mirroring were our first languages. Lian reflects on childhood memories of communicating wordlessly with other children, inviting listeners to remember a time when connection didn’t rely on words, but on presence, attunement, and instinct. Together, they explore why this deeply embodied intelligence still lives within us… and why we so often forget to listen to it. As the episode unfolds, they reflect on how language, while powerful, can become a distraction from what’s most true. Listeners are guided through the journey of learning to feel again: how to notice what your body knows, how to ‘reproduce someone else’s inner world’ within yourself, and how to return to the state of flow that lives beneath overthinking. The conversation asks the deeper question: what might happen if we let ourselves communicate as humans… not just as heads on sticks? We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: How emotional intelligence and body awareness are the original languages of human connection, long before words came online Why your body often “knows” the truth before your mind can explain it, and how to trust that knowing in conversation The journey from conscious effort to unconscious competence… and why getting worse at communication might be the sign you’re about to get much better Resources and stuff spoken about: Michael’s Website Join UNIO, the Academy of Sacred Union.

How to awaken in the paradox: Neo-Vedanta & progressive paths - Daniel Ingram 51:18

10 weeks ago51:18

51:18

This week's show is with Dr. Daniel M. Ingram, MD MSPH, a retired emergency medicine physician who works to improve the global relationship of science, clinical practice, mental health and the public to the phenomena that might be referred to as spiritual, meditative, energetic, mystical, psychedelic, magical, and related phenomena. To those ends, he is currently the founder, philanthropic supporter, and volunteer CEO and Board Chair of the Emergence Benefactors registered charity, and chief organizer and co-founder of the global Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium . He is currently involved in neurophenomenological research of advanced meditative states with colleagues at Harvard and has been a participant in numerous fMRI and EEG studies of advanced meditators, including at Harvard, Yale, U Mass, and Vanderbilt. He has published scientific articles in Pediatrics, Child Abuse and Neglect, and the Journal of Medical Toxicology. He is the author of Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha , co-author of The Fire Kasina , and co-founder of the Dharma Overground. His work has been featured in The New York Times, Esquire, Vice, Wired, BBC Radio 4, Evolving Dharma, American Dharma: Buddhism Beyond Modernity, Dan Harris’ 10% Happier Podcast, Slate Star Codex Blog, Buddha at the Gas Pump, Meaning of Life TV, Deconstructing Yourself, Spiritual Explained website, Guru Viking, Buddhist Geeks, Cosmic Tortoise, Startup Geometry, Imperfect Buddha Podcast, and many others. In this conversation, Lian and Daniel explore what awakening really means, weaving between the modern non-duality and Neo-Vedanta ideas such as "you're already awake" and the more structured progressive paths, filled with stages, techniques, and deepening insights. They gently reveal the hidden challenges and the powerful gifts each path offers, opening up a conversation that's both timeless and deeply relevant. Lian shares how awakening can happen spontaneously, profoundly reshaping lives, while Daniel draws from his extensive experience in various spiritual communities and traditions. Together, they explore the subtle nuances of spiritual growth, shadow integration, and the vital practice of staying present to this very moment. Their personal experiences effortlessly blend with mythic and traditional wisdom, highlighting the beautiful paradox of human growth. They also discuss practical tools like the five Buddha families, attachment styles, and why working with our shadows is essential. Daniel stresses how important personalised practice and honest community feedback are on this journey. Their conversation gently challenges the seductive myth of spiritual perfectionism, offering instead a grounded, compassionate invitation towards continual transformation and deeper self-awareness. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What You'll Learn From This Episode: How clearly seeing the strengths and limits of modern non-dual teachings and progressive spiritual approaches helps you create a spiritual practice that's deeply meaningful, nourishing, and aligned with who you really are. Why recognising and embracing your shadows—those hidden emotional patterns and parts of yourself—is essential for reclaiming your wholeness, bringing more emotional freedom and a deeper sense of authenticity. How using personality frameworks like the five Buddha families and attachment styles can help you personalise your spiritual journey in a way that genuinely honours your unique nature.

Lost boys and found connection: The initiation of modern men - Mark Walsh 54:59

11 weeks ago54:59

54:59

This week’s show is with Mark Walsh. Mark has spent the last 20 years helping people get out of their heads and into their bodies—sometimes gracefully, sometimes not. He’s the author of The Body in Coaching and Training and Embodied Meditation , and hosts The Embodiment Podcast , which has over 3 million downloads. He also ran The Embodiment Conference , ambitiously featuring 1,000 teachers and half a million attendees, which happened to be the world’s largest Zoom event. As the founder of Embodiment Unlimited , Mark has trained over 2,000 embodiment coaches across 40+ countries (some of which still let him back in). His latest project, Feral Philosophy , is a deeper, more unfiltered look at embodiment, free from the usual wellness clichés. His work has taken him from an alcoholic to a psychology graduate; from war zones to boardrooms; from teaching yogis and coaches to working with police and military personnel. He also co-founded Sane Ukraine , now run by Ukrainian professionals to provide trauma and embodiment training for therapists, trainers, and coaches. With a background in psychology, aikido (black belt), and various movement practices—including yoga, meditation, dance, bodywork, and improv comedy—Mark blends deep expertise with a refreshingly direct, down-to-earth style. He’s worked with companies like Google, Unilever, and Shell, though he’s much happier when he’s not wearing a suit. He swears more than most coaches, dances worse than he thinks, and isn’t a fan of fluffy self-help talk—but he is passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves in a real, practical way. In this potent and timely conversation, Lian journeys with Mark into the heart of the crisis facing young men today. Together, they explore the four profound disconnections at the root of modern suffering - body, social, ecological, and spiritual - and how restoring these essential connections can guide young men from isolation to purposeful living. Reflecting on Mark’s own transformative journey from troubled youth to mentor, they discuss the critical role of strength and embodiment in building resilience, character, and spiritual depth. Mark shares how genuine community and meaningful rites of passage can fill the void left by our culture’s forgotten initiations, nurturing the very soul of young men. Drawing from mythological truths, ancient principles, and real-life experiences, Lian and Mark highlight how reconnecting with nature and spirit can profoundly heal both individual lives and wider cultural decay. They illuminate practical pathways for guiding young men back to themselves, toward greater meaning, joy, and wholeness. Ultimately this conversion shines a light on how we might help young men return to themselves, reclaim their inherent value beyond societal expectations in our fractured modern world. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: Physical strength is not merely a superficial pursuit; it is a foundational virtue that creates resilience, self-awareness, and deeper character in young men, providing a doorway to emotional and spiritual growth. In a culture that has largely lost authentic initiation rituals, young men face isolation and confusion - yet re-establishing community, connection to nature, and meaningful mentorship can profoundly alter their trajectory. The modern meaning crisis arises from deep disconnection - body, social, ecological, and spiritual. To heal this, each of us must consciously reconnect, embracing practices that nurture the soul, restoring a sense of genuine meaning and purpose.

How to cultivate a sacred relationship with life - Sara interviews Lian 57:21

12 weeks ago57:21

57:21

This week’s show is a special one in which Be Mythical Soul Guide Sara J. Sanderson interviewed Lian about all things living a sacred life, inspired by our current UNIO quest: The Sacred Life Quest. In this thought-provoking episode, Lian and Sara explore the profound connection between magic and practicality, diving into how we can bring sacredness to the most mundane aspects of our daily lives. Sara’s questions guide Lian into reflections about how we often compartmentalise our lives, seeking life hacks for efficiency and solving problems, yet forgetting the inherent magic that resides in those very moments. They discuss how the act of seeking ‘quick fixes’ might sometimes lead us away from the soul-nourishing practices that offer deeper, more lasting fulfillment. Lian and Sara touch on the essential concept of sovereignty - how we can embrace the power of choice in the midst of daily life and take responsibility for our projections, which shape how we perceive our reality. They also explore how consciously creating rituals can be a bridge between the practical and the mystical, offering tools to navigate the balance between work, family, self-care, and spiritual growth. Ultimately, the episode serves as a reminder that life doesn’t have to be a dichotomy of the practical and the magical - it can be a union. Lian and Sara invite listeners to reflect on how they might approach their own lives with more intention, sovereignty, and reverence, transforming everyday actions into sacred rituals that honour both the spiritual and practical aspects of existence. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: The search for quick solutions can sometimes distance us from what truly nourishes our soul. This conversation invites us to question whether the practical hacks we rely on are truly fulfilling and soul-aligned or merely temporary fixes. We can infuse even the most mundane tasks with magic and intention, turning them into meaningful rituals that connect us with something larger than ourselves. Recognising and taking responsibility for our projections is essential for reclaiming our sovereignty, ultimately leading us to a life that feels more authentic, nourishing, and aligned with our deeper purpose.

How to weave the hidden web of your ancestors, epigenetics & stories - Caitlín Matthews 52:53

13 weeks ago52:53

52:53

This week’s show is with Caitlín Matthews. Caitlín is an internationally renowned author, a teacher of shamanic training programme, a facilitator of Systemic Ritual® and the co-founder of the Foundation for Inspirational and Oracular Studies (FÍOS). Caitlín is the author of over 80 books, including Diary of a Soul Doctor, Singing the Soul Back Home, the Art of Celtic Seership, Celtic Devotional and The Celtic Book of the Dead. Her books have won a number of awards. She is known internationally for her work on the spiritual, mythic and ancestral traditions of Britain and Ireland. She teaches and works with communities and spiritual institutions worldwide from Iceland to Portugal and from USA to Australia. Caitlín is a co-founder of the Foundation for Inspirational and Oracular Studies (FÍOS), which is dedicated to the sacred arts that shape the landscape of the soul, via vision, dream and memory. FÍOS hosts masterclasses with exemplars of living, oracular sacred traditions that are rarely recorded in writing or given an honourable place in modern society. Caitlín has had a shamanic healing practice in Oxford for the last 30 years, working in the community to deepen connections to the ancestral traditions which are our heritage. In this conversation, Lian and Caitlín journey into the systemic context of shamanism - understanding how deeply interconnected we are, not only to each other but to our ancestors and the broader web of life. Together, they explore how our personal stories intertwine with ancestral narratives, shaping who we are in profound and often unseen ways. Lian and Caitlín reflect on how rituals, myths, and collective stories hold powerful keys to healing, transformation, and understanding. They journey through ancient mysteries and modern examples - from the Tarantella rituals of Southern Italy to the haunting power of ancestral stories triggered in unexpected moments. Drawing on the metaphor of the spider’s web, they illuminate the delicate balance of our interconnectedness. These threads reveal how epigenetics and cultural perspectives deeply influence our experiences of illness, healing, and personal crisis. This episode invites listeners to reconnect with the hidden threads of their own lives, transforming unconscious ancestral burdens into sources of wisdom, insight, and strength. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: Healing isn't solely individual; it requires recognition of our systemic context, including familial and ancestral influences, to uncover deeper truths and lasting transformation. Myths and stories are not merely tales; they can either awaken healing narratives or stir unresolved ancestral wounds, influencing our lives profoundly. Cultivating daily awareness of our interconnectedness helps us navigate life's complexities with greater sensitivity, understanding, and alignment.

How women can draw out masculine virtues in men - Arthur Haines 1:01:20

14 weeks ago1:01:20

1:01:20

This week’s show is with Arthur Haines. Arthur is a Maine hunting, fishing, and recreation guide, forager, ancestral skills mentor, author, public speaker, and botanical researcher. He grew up in the western mountains of Maine, a rural area that was home to swift streams known for their trout fishing. He spent most of his childhood in the Sandy River Valley hiking, tracking, and foraging. Arthur now runs the Delta Institute of Natural History in Canton, Maine, where he teaches human ecology, focusing on the values of foraging, wildcrafting medicine, and primitive living skills. He continues to spend a great deal of his free time practicing his skills as a modern hunter-gatherer. In 2017, he authored “A New Path”, a comprehensive work on nature connection and rewilding, detailing how to incorporate ancestral practices into modern living. As a research botanist for the Native Plant Trust, he completed an inclusive flora of the New England region titled “ Flora Novae Angliae ” and has authored over twenty publications in peer-reviewed journals and books, including naming species of plants new to science. His series of YouTube videos has inspired thousands of people interested in foraging wild edible and medicinal plants. In this show, Lian and Arthur explore the foundational principles of masculinity - strength, bravery, mastery, and honour - not as outdated relics, but as essential qualities for men navigating modern life. Arthur brings a rare, embodied perspective to this discussion, having lived as a hunter, forager, and practitioner of ancestral skills. His insights are not theoretical - they are drawn from direct experience of what it means to provide, protect, and live in alignment with primal masculine virtues. This isn’t just about men. If a woman desires a man who embodies these virtues, her role in allowing and encouraging them is crucial. Arthur and Lian discuss how trust, receptivity, and honouring polarity create space for masculinity to thrive, while competition and control can diminish it. They explore the challenges modern culture presents and the ways women can either stifle or inspire the best in men. Together, they unpack why masculinity and femininity are complementary forces, not opposing ones. From the importance of honour to the role of provision and protection, this episode offers a rich exploration of how men and women can create stronger, more aligned relationships, families and communities. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: Masculine virtues are amoral - honour defines their application. Strength, bravery, mastery, and honour are essential masculine traits, but without an honour code, they can be misused. True masculinity is about how these virtues are wielded for the good of family, community, and the land. Women shape the masculine through trust and receptivity. If a woman wants a man who embodies these virtues, she must create space for them. Trust is essential - without it, masculinity cannot emerge. Relinquishing unnecessary control allows men to provide, protect, and lead, while women refine and steer the vision. The primal masculine thrives in purpose and action. Arthur’s experience as a hunter and provider highlights how men are wired for challenge, risk, and responsibility. These qualities are not obsolete but deeply ingrained, and when honoured, they allow men to show up fully in relationships, family, and community.
