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? Lees meer

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.

You are the leader you have been waiting for (Reimagining Embodied Leadership)
12 mei 2023 · 51 min
Does any of this sound familiar? Lees meer
Feeling lonely because you have seen a new way of living/being but no one else seems to see what you see...
Searching for your community that gets you and daydream about starting your own so you can feel you belong.
Knowing you are ready to pivot but not feeling sure of what, or how the new alignment will be for you and the life you lead.
Feeling like you have to compromise who you are and what you need, to be successful as a leader (of your business, family, community, movement, life.)
Afraid of being stuck in the old ways of how things are supposed to be done and don’t know what direction to lead in a way that feels aligned with your heart.
Feeling disconnected from your body and wanting to find your way back to become more grounded, creative, and confident again.
If you fear you have to settle and sacrifice for how this life is supposed to be or if you have a strong desire to lead a movement of change to create a world you want to live in and leave for your children and future generations that they can thrive in, you will be relieved to know you really can fulfill your purpose, live authentically, lead a life that has meaning and depth without sacrificing what is most important to you…
…. And acknowledging that you have a voice that needs to be heard, seen, and felt, is the first step! -

The global ecosystem is under immense pressure due to a combination of human activities, such as deforestation, pollution, overfishing, and the burning of fossil fuels. These activities have led to the depletion of natural resources, the destruction of habitats and ecosystems, and the release of greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change.
As a result, we are witnessing the loss of biodiversity, the collapse of ecosystems, and the degradation of soil and water quality.
Societally, we are facing numerous challenges as well. Income inequality, poverty, and discrimination are pervasive in many parts of the world, leading to social unrest and conflict. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has further exposed and exacerbated these issues, leaving many people vulnerable and struggling to survive.
In terms of civilization collapse, it is important to note that there is no single, widely agreed-upon definition of this term. Some experts argue that we are currently experiencing a slow collapse of our social and political systems due to factors such as economic instability, political polarization, and the erosion of trust in institutions. Others argue that civilization collapse would entail a more rapid and catastrophic breakdown of our infrastructure and way of…

Ancient Cosmology & Medicine Path with Marita One Who Catches Lightning.
5 maart 2023 · 1 uur 27 min
Marita and I went into a deep dive into some of the essence of the medicine path. Beyond and behind the visible or the heart-lifting steps, there are many steps that are much more difficult, heartbreaking, challenging, and humbling. Lees meer
From the deep daily connection to land, the sacred ancient practice of planting seeds, to the radical responsibility and vulnerability, we can find in this exploration we took together some immense and invaluable nuggets of wisdom.
In this replay of our time with Marita One Who Catches Lightning (they/them) we allowed ourselves the space to become the medicine, and remember our relationship to time, creation, and the cosmos through the Mayan calendar.
We explore fascinating subjects like:
Building relationships with the invisible world
Learning authentically from the natural world
Calling the teacher and what it takes to stay with the teacher
Radical responsibility and humility
The power of ancient calendars and their roles in our fate and destiny
The difficult processes and steps into the Medicine Path
The stories of cacao, corn & seeds and their role in our sacred work
The deep teachings of Ancient Cosmology
And the long process of remembering & forgetting...
Our ancestors and who we are are not only in our dreams or in our remembering but we exist as well in the forgetting. Remembering takes time and vision and so all beings have found an example or a system or an observational language they have to relate to the passing of their journey.
This spark inspired the creation of calendars as they relate to time, cycles, the cosmos, and creation as can be seen in the lineages of the Olmeca, Maya, Zapotec, Aztecs, and many more mesoamerican cultures.
Join us in this exploration, let yourself receive and feel, and let those seeds Marita planted for us grow deep and slow... So you can remember how to forget.

- Why some organic & eco-friendly products are still highly problematic for humanity
- How you can get involved with Angell at The Sanctuary

The Green Witch interview on Herbal Medicine & Earth Connection Practices
11 december 2022 · 1 uur 25 min
The world is changing rapidly. Between Climate change, ecosystems collapse, and the broken political, economic, and social systems, our nervous systems are put under extreme pressure. Yet, your nervous system holds the key to your health and to being able to engage fully in your life. Lees meer
Herbal medicine and simple rituals aid enormously in moving through these times of evolutionary transformation with more emotional ease, greater mental clarity, and physical and spiritual peace.
Nourishing herbs like oatstraw (Avena sativa) and nettles (Urtica spp.) help us find our strength. Nervines can help with pain relief, deep sleep, and clear skin. We’ll hone in on the gifts of sedating skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora), uplifting St. John’s/Joan’s wort (Hypericum perforatum.

Jesus, the ultimate Shaman
23 november 2022 · 1 uur 17 min
Hear live from the authors of this new book that explore the bridges between the Christ healing ways and shamanism. Lees meer
In a world increasingly perceived as overwhelming, chaotic, or even dangerous, people are being drawn to deepen their spirituality in response. Shamanism is one avenue that is becoming increasingly popular for achieving that goal.
Shamanism derives from millennia of worldwide, multi-cultural practices that connect the ordinary, material world to the non-ordinary world of Spirit. Today, Shamans and Shamanic Practitioners offer simple yet effective ways to help people connect with Spirit. They teach people how to move back and forth between these two worlds, whether for personal, spiritual growth or the healing of themselves, others, and the environment.
Jesus, the Ultimate Shaman is an easy-to-read book that covers a multitude of topics. Sally Denny and Steve Bull provide their readers with a basic introduction to Shamanism and describe many of the shamanic tools that are able to be used.

Living in Time of Prophecy with Grandmother ThreeCrow
10 oktober 2022 · 1 uur 57 min
As an elder, dreamer, and visionary, Grandmother Threecrow responds to my questions and shares insight and wisdom regarding this time of prophecy we are living in. Lees meer
Here are some other questions we explored in this exceptional live online connection with Grandmother Threecrow:
- Is prophecy written in stone?
- Are we helpless? Is it hopeless?
- What is this timeline we are all living in and did we sign up for this? And if yes, why would we do that?
- Do you believe that we are powerful co-creators and that we can create our own reality?
- Do you know about the prophecy of the star children?
- Do you know about the prophecy of the rainbow warriors?
- Do you know about the power of word, thought and emotions?
- Is humanity in a time of great change and transition?
- What do you know about frequency, energy and how to use those powers?We explored these questions and more with a deep conversation with an extraordinary elder, Grandmother Threecrow.
Grandmother Barbara Threecrow carries the legacy of her ancestors: and a linage of experiencers contactees, communicators visionaries and seers – derives from her heritage; Celt, Nanticoke Lanape/Delaware and adopted Lakota – She is a child born with a Caul, a child of the stars, healer, seer and teacher of earth ways; the way to live in harmony according to tribal consciousness and Creator’s law of one.

Indigenous Sovereignty and Indigenous Wisdom with Brandon Maka’awa’awa
29 september 2022 · 1 uur 28 min
A powerful live talk with Brandon Maka’awa’awa, the Vice President of the independent Nation of Hawaii. Lees meer
Brandon came to visit our land for a few days and we wanted to give everyone the opportunity to meet him and experience his wisdom.
In this live discussion, we explore the Indigenous Nation Sovereignty of Hawai and the Hawaiian people by exploring the consequences of colonialism on the culture and ecology of the island. In this powerful discussion with Brandon Maka’awa’awa we aim to better understand the complexities and opportunities of sovereignty restoration and the unique project of Pu’uhonua O Waimanalo.
What can we learn from this particular project for the general goal of restoring Native sovereignty, how to navigate the complexity of the capitalistic and political systems, and how this ecological, social, and political project can be a frame for the general modeling of different ways to grow together in the midst of climate collapse and the restoration of social & economical justice.
Brandon Maka’awa’awa is the Vice President of the independent Nation of Hawaii. He assists President Dennis Bumpy Kanahele in the day-to-day operations of Pu’uhonua O Waimanalo, the Nation’s sovereign land base in which they are restoring the ancient and modern technology-enabled Ahupua’a ecosystem. Brandon also leads the Nation of Hawaii’s delegation to the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, where he has given many interventions on Hawaiian National Sovereignty, peaceful coexistence, reconciliation, indigenous economic development, and innovation.
Brandon is also President of Na Po’e Kokua, a non-profit organization that advocates for the development of more affordable housing options for Hawaiians. Brandon advocates on behalf of the Nation of Hawai’i at all levels of government on different issues impacting Hawaiians and their rights.,

The Magical Call of your ancient prayer. How to listen? How to answer?
7 september 2022 · 1 uur 54 min
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 he…

The Ancestral Magic of one of the last Navajo Medicine Man (Chee Ramon)
1 september 2022 · 1 uur 14 min
Chee Ramon knows as much, possibly more, about Navajo medicine than any man alive and now, for the first time, he has agreed to bring his knowledge to a wider audience outside his Navajo homeland of Arizona and New Mexico. Following his visit, we recorded this video with his main / oldest student (Charles) to share about the magic we witnessed. Lees meer
The reason Chee Ramon agreed to share this knowledge is that the old ways are rapidly dying. Today young people have to work in the white man's world and do not have the time or inclination to undergo the lengthy and arduous training a medicine man's apprentice requires. Fewer and fewer young people speak the Navajo language, and so the complicated concepts of Navajo medicine--and some are extremely complicated--cannot be passed on as there are no English words of equivalent meaning.
Chee's visit was intended to impart at least some traditional knowledge to the wider world, where it may still do some good, while there is still time to do so.

In This Place: Experiencing Sacred Plant Medicine Right Where You Are
9 augustus 2022 · 1 uur 25 min
Turn it up! Turn it down. Have we come to believe it must be true because it’s loud? Lights flash and voices shout from every corner. Lees meer
The noise is deafening, and it seems we’ve forgotten how to listen to the softer voices offering wisdom for this Shifting Now. It seems we’ve come to believe for something to be effective it must pack a punch, require extensive travel, pause our daily life, and disrupt. But this is not so.
We can experience the Sacred in this place -- right here, right now. And we will.
Join us as we turn it down, drop into our hearts, and tune into the softer -- but no less sacred -- voice of the plants. Together, we will listen and gather sacred plant medicine right where we are.
In our time together, you will be invited through conversation and participation to open to the possibility of communicating with plants and receiving sacred medicine messages while in a state of normal consciousness.
Space will be held for you to sit and listen with a plant, experience its essence, receive its messages, share your experience (if you choose), and be blessed by the medicine shared by others.
Amanda Nicole is a liriodendress, a divine daughter of the tulip poplar tree. An intuitive plant medicine practitioner and divine channel, she believes Heaven & Earth merge at the heart-center of every human. With plants in her heart & words on her lips, Amanda writes, speaks, and sings in service to the Divine, inspiring individuals to fully embody their divine essence, access the freedom of their unique self-expression, and enjoy the miracle of becoming fully human.

The Spiritual significance of Climate change with Elder Angaangaq Angakkorsuaq
6 maart 2022 · 1 uur 57 min
My interview with Elder Angaangaq Angakkorsuaq, shaman, traditional healer, storyteller, and carrier of the Qilaut (winddrum), whose family belongs to the traditional healers of the Far North from Kalaallit Nunaat, Greenland. Lees meer
His name means ‘The Man Who Looks Like His Uncle’. Since he was a child he was trained by his family- especially by his Grandmother Aanakasaa – for becoming a shaman.
The spiritual task given by his mother is: “Melting the Ice in the Heart of Man”.
Angaangaq bridges the boundaries of cultures and faiths in people young and old. His work has taken him to over 70 countries around the world. He conducts circles, seminars, and Aalaartiviit – traditional sweat lodges. His teachings are deeply rooted in the wisdom of the oral healing traditions of his people, which enabled people over thousands of years to survive in one of the harshest places on Earth.
Angaangaq is a Keynote-Speaker at international conferences about climate change, environment, spiritual and indigenous issues. Since a ceremony in Greenland in 2009 where the “sacred fire” has been brought back to Greenland, he is carrying the title “Angakkorsuaq” – “Great Shaman”.
“The greatest distance in the existence of Man is not from here to there nor from there to here. Nay, the greatest distance in the existence of Man is from his mind to his heart. Unless he conquers that distance he can never learn to soar like an eagle and realize his own immensity within.” Angaangaq Angakkorsuaq

The Animals as Allies: Remembering How to Listen
8 september 2021 · 1 uur 29 min
I invite you to come back into being, to sit with me as we embark on the journey of great remembering. Remembering that we are not only the Little Brothers and Sisters to all that surrounds us, but also that we are them and they are us. They - we - have been waiting and watching for the moment to listen. The Animals have so much to share with us, not only wisdom but truth about ourselves. Even the most unexpected creatures, mundane and fantastic, offer up alliance if we are willing to sit and listen. Lees meer
In this LIVE talk we discuss:
•What is the difference between an Ancestral Ally, Lifetime Ally, and Situational Ally?
•How can I identify my Allies?
•How can I work with my Allies?
•How can I honor my Allies?
About Casey Certain
Casey Certain has felt deeply connected to the Blue Ridge Mountains of South Carolina since childhood and began welcoming the friendship and messages from the Animals since that time. Honing her skills through observation and education, she also works to collect and retell the Animals’ cultural stories as they see fit. Her mission has been to aid in the universal process of learning, growing, and healing as we each acknowledge not only our own personal Divine existence but the Divine existence and connection of each and every other being. After serving youth who were from at-risk situations for seven years, Casey began to embrace her identity and role of not only teacher but healer in 2020.
Working to explore, record, and share what the Animals, Plants, and Land wish to share and teach, she now offers private sessions and retreats as an Integrative Healing Arts Practitioner at her homestead in Walhalla, South Carolina, with her husband David. She is trained in hypnotherapy, meditation, breathwork, yoga, aromatherapy, auriculotherapy, among other modalities.

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

Francis Weller - An apprenticeship with Sorrow - Live Interview
10 april 2021 · 1 uur 3 min
Grief and loss touch us all, arriving at our door in many ways. It comes swirling on the winds of divorce, or the death of someone dear, as an illness that alters the course of a life. For many of us, our grief is tied intimately to the ravages we witness daily to watersheds, forests and the disappearance of species, the silencing of languages, and the coarsening of culture. And yet our encounters with sorrow are often met with confusion, fear, and overwhelm. We are uncertain how to meet this difficult guest when it surfaces in our lives. Lees meer
This brief presentation will explore the elements of an Apprenticeship with Sorrow. It is through the rites of grief that we are, in turn, ripened as human beings. Grief invites gravity and depth into our world. Our work is to understand grief not only as an emotion but also a core faculty of being human, a profound capacity to metabolize sorrow into something nutrient-dense for the community. This apprenticeship is, at heart, about the crafting of elders capable of meeting the pain and suffering of the world with a dignified and robust bearing. This is soul activism intended to foster deep cultural change.
