This week’s show is with William Whitecloud. William is a best-selling author and a creative development trainer. His famous publications include The Magician’s Way: What It Really Takes to Find Your Treasure, The Last Shaman, and Secrets Of Natural Success; Five Steps to Unlocking Your Genius Through the pandemic, he made his foundational 5 day-training, Create Your Destiny, which he made available for free as a 5-week online course.

He is the founder and chairman of Natural Success which is a training and mentoring provider.

He now resides in Santa Monica, California where he enjoys time with his family, writing and at the same time developing movies.

In this show, William and Lian spoke about victim vs creator, what William means by both terms, how we can move to the apex above the swing… and what that will take… a lifetime of education.

I’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

• Victim is experiencing life as happening to you vs Creator is experiencing life you happening to life… A simple distinction that we can notice in any moment.

• I loved how William described moving to the apex above the swing so we don’t identify with either side.

• We can’t expect this to be an overnight shift or something we can learn easily… it takes practice and devotion.

This week's show is with Ramon Castellanos. Ramon was raised in a household devoted to a profound magical tradition stemming from the African Diaspora. Hence, his magical training started in early childhood.

He has studied closely with multiple high-level spiritual, magical and internal alchemy teachers. Having healed himself from multiple health conditions, his learning has allowed him to act as a health coach, working directly under multiple physicians. He is also an instructor of several energetic systems including, Primordial Alchemy, The Kundalini Awakening Process, and Eight Extraordinary Vessels qigong. And after spending a decade living and working in the wilderness at a wolf sanctuary, and learning directly from the animals, he found a deep love for the ancestral inheritance we share with life on this planet.

In this conversation, Ramon and I explored magic and our ancestral inheritance, he shared his own story of being raised with magic as reality, his own rejection and reclamation of magic, and practical ways we can all remember our magical birthright.

We’d love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below or share in our fb group.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

• Ramon’s clear teaching that the animist worldview is actually an innate human worldview moved me deeply - knowing we are immersed the interconnected aliveness of everything is how humans understood reality for the vast majority of human history

• I adored Ramon’s lizard metaphor! Understanding the magical, animist nature of life is a tail that we can all grow back if we choose

• Make offerings, speak to trees, connect with your ancestors… reclaim the relationship with the world that is your birthright

Resources and stuff that we spoke about:

• Ramon’s book “The Ancestral Now”

• Ancestral Counseling

• Beyond Health Coaching

Known as ‘The Digital Sniper’, he has published the books ‘Spirit Said’ and ‘Secure The Throne: An Introduction to Alpha-Tribalism.’ He is also a personal advisor, a facilitator of leaders, a thinker, a minister, a loving husband and father.

In today’s show, Eli and Lian explored being authentic and true to yourself, how our wounds can get in the way of that, and how we can choose the initiations that will move us beyond that.

I’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

• Becoming more authentic is a process of understanding the wound cycle we’re in and choosing the initiation that will take us beyond it

• I loved how Eli spoke about keeping other people out of your mind - if we don’t have other voices in our heads, it’s clear what’s right for us

• The powerful enquiry Eli invited us into: How do you serve life?

This week's show is with Dr. Daniel M. Ingram. Dr. Daniel M. Ingram, MD MSPH, is 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, Daniel and I explored the topic of where magic and spirituality meet, how they can seem at odds, even though magical phenomena are found in many mystical traditions, how Daniel found his way to a life and work in which they belong together, and how he sees they have an important role in understanding and working to improve mental health.

We’d love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below or share in our fb group.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

• Daniel’s story illustrates how in many spiritual traditions, magical effects are considered almost a distraction and not something to focus on, whereas his path took him into the conscious practice of magick too - Daniel discovered Kasina and elemental practices from the ancient Buddhist texts could actually be a powerful aid in his ceremonial magic practice, showing that meditative traditions and magick can happily co-exist

• I love what Daniel said… “There is a there - if you get your concentration and intention right.” (very overly simplistically paraphrased!)

• We spoke about the seeming dichotomy between the rational, scientific worldview and the magical worldview - which just like magic and spirituality, doesn’t have to be choice between one or the other.

• I love what Daniel said about there being no other culture in the history of the world that has this completely non-spiritual take on mental health, in the way we do in this modern culture. For this to change we probably need to create the choice and research to compare mainstream frameworks and approaches vs spiritual ones.

Resources and stuff that we spoke about:

This week's show is with Vanessa Broers. Vanessa Broers is a transformational author, speaker, coach and the host of The Practical Magical Show.

From running away from summer camp at age six, to getting called to the principal's office at age 11 for writing a letter to the teacher telling the truth about disliking class, Vanessa seems to have been born with an inability to behave or play by the rules.

Guided ferociously by a devotion to truth, insatiable appetite for more and a refusal to compromise anything she loves, Vanessa was put on this planet to liberate women into their highest potential professionally, power spiritually and expression personally.

She supports powerful women to unapologetically unleash the full truth of who they are so they can create magic, live fiercely incredible lives and enjoy every single moment - while experiencing unprecedented levels of success.

In this conversation, Lian and Vanessa explored what it means to become your unique medicine, our experiences with the coaching industry, the journey from coach to doing your deepest soul work, why it’s hard, what it costs, what it brings, i.e. why it’s worth EVERYTHING!

We’d love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below or share in our fb group.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

• I adored Vanessa’s seeing of the coaching industry and how it feels when someone first enters it… magic is real, possibility, wonder, and innocence - what we’ve always been searching for!

• When you reach the place that it appears everyone wants to get to and you still don’t feel it’s right - what then? This is something that so few people seem to be speaking about. And as we spoke about, much of that might be because coaches don’t fully understand the ancient roots of what’s called coaching in this modern world.

• Doing your soul work requires taking the long, hard journey into our wounds to alchemise them into gifts, this is essential in us becoming who we really are.

All The Everything is Lian’s monthly solo show where she often shares what she’s been creating, consuming, and celebrating before diving deep into a topic inspired or chosen by members of The Wolf Pack.

The LIVE making of the show is recorded in our Facebook group and for the first 30 minutes before Lian hits the record button you are invited to a pre-show party to get up close and personal with Lian and have your questions on the month’s topic answered.

To receive a reminder of when the pre-show party and LIVE making of All The Everything is happening, make sure you’re subscribed to our email list and are a member of the Facebook group. All the details you need are HERE!

In this episode, Lian dived deep into the topic How embodying archetypes helps you to do your soul work. Sara from Team Waking The Wild said ahead of the show - to expect from Lian deep wisdom, celebration and tears of love and gratitude. AND we certainly did get all that.

Here is a taste of some of the questions asked during the pre-show party:

“What about people who have their feet firmly planted in the “real” world (*me*) but has a very strong draw to the magical world. Is working with archetypes “worthwhile” or would we be better served focusing on “other” things ….”

“Is it usual for someone to journey through the different archetypes? Or to embody different archetypes at once/ throughout the course of a week or even a day?”

“Would you say Archetypes don't force themselves upon you or is there a bit of both? As in a clear invitation and sometimes a BIG prod but then they go quiet if you choose out?”

Lian weaved the answers to these questions into the following topics that were covered during the show:

• What exactly are archetypes?

• Aren’t they just fantasy or role play?

• How can they really make a difference to our lives?

• If I don’t already know my archetypes, doesn’t it mean I’m not magical?

• How do archetypes help people to do their soul work?

• What happens if we don’t want to work with archetypes? Is it really that important?

If you’re at all curious about the role archetypes play in your life and why they are important, even vital, when it comes to you doing your soul work, this is the show for you!

This week's show is with Tad Hargrave. Tad is a hippy who developed a knack for marketing (and then learned how to be a hippy again).

Despite years in the non-profit and activist world, he finally had to admit he was a marketing nerd and, in the end, he became a marketing coach for hippies. Maybe it was because he couldn’t stand seeing his hippy friends struggle to promote their amazing, green and holistic projects. Maybe it was because he couldn’t keep a 9-5 job to save his life.

Whatever the reason, for almost a decade, he has been touring his marketing workshops around Canada, bringing refreshing and unorthodox ideas to conscious entrepreneurs and green businesses that help them grow their organizations and businesses (without selling their souls).  He has also offered most of his workshops on a modified pay what you can basis (a small deposit to attend and then people choose the amount they want to pay at the very end).

This all feels like a minor miracle as Tad spent his early marketing days learning and applying some very inauthentic, high pressure, extremely gross and pushy marketing approaches. This has made him suuuuper allergic to these kinds of approaches because he discovered they made him feel slimy (even in personal friendships), he didn’t sleep well and he’s very sorry to all those people he spoke with back in the day. After a decade of unlearning and unpacking that whole scene – he now feels ready and able to help other people find ways to market that feel wonderful.

In this show, we spoke about your niche, aka your role in the community, illuminated through the lens of your Gifts, your Nature and your Wound. We explored what is meant by all three and how they inform both your work and your marketing.

I’d love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

• Your Gifts inform the shape of your work and also your marketing, what are you naturally good at and love to do?

• You Nature informs the tone or vibe of your work - this could be described as your personality. Often others can reflect this to us more easily than we can determine this ourselves. It’s also so helpful to notice what Tad said about the way we will also benefit from honouring our human nature.

• Your Wounds inform the direction of your work - ie what you’re taking from and to. I loved the ways Tad made the distinction of your wound vs your scar. Heal your wounds and share the stories of your scars.

This week’s show is with my friend and many times past guest, the amazing James Tripp. James is an internationally recognised authority in the fields of self development, personal mastery and generative changework.

​Coming from a diverse background including philosophy, music, martial arts, movement culture and NLP, James is also the developer of the Hypnosis Without Trance approach to hypnotic facilitation as well as author of the critically acclaimed book of the same title. In his one-to-one work, James works with individuals looking to become better adapted in consistently creating outcomes they value and living lives they love. Since turning professional in 2007 his clients have included artists, filmmakers, entrepreneurs and business creators, c-suite executives, actors and performers, frontline services operatives, medical doctors, writers, special forces operatives and military veterans. Beyond his one-to-one work, James has presented at conferences and run workshops across Europe, Australia and North and South America, and his ‘home turf (London and Edinburgh) workshops typically draw students from around the world.

In today’s show, James and Lian explored the topic of working dialogically vs diagnostically in changework… or put in differently, how we can honour and harness the unknown, unseen and unconscious when we’re working, or rather communicating, with our clients, as healers, coaches and guides; how we believe the human mind works versus how it actually works, and why working dialogically is more in alignment with how we actually work.

I’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

• James and I spoke about how we tend to culturally adopt the technology of the age as a metaphor for how the mind works - currently, that’s computers, however helpful it can be as a metaphor in some settings, it’s ultimately it’s lacking and limited as a window into how complex humans actually are, especially when it comes to change work.

• Working with clients in the deepest, truest and most functional way means recognising we’re actually working with the clients in the context of their lives and their relationships, including their relationship with us as change workers. As soon as we sit with a client and begin communicating, we are both changing.

• Humans are complex, self-organising systems, we have an emergent adaptive intelligence. Although many people are adapted to the lives they've got, it’s important to remember that adaptedness comes from adaptiveness - and we can switch our adaptiveness back on.
