  • The Rise of the Green Witch with Robin Rose Bennett

    The Rise of the Green Witch with Robin Rose Bennett
    Jan 8 2026

    In this episode, I am joined by my dear friend, soul sister, and alchemist, Robin Rose Bennett. A legendary herbalist, storyteller, and teacher since 1986, Robin shares a profound perspective on herbalism that goes far beyond substituting a pill for a plant. We dive into the sacred relationship between humans and the "green world," exploring how plants act as our elders, teachers, and wisdom keepers.


    Together, we journey through the transition from spiritual seeking to full spectrum embodiment -as nature. Robin shares how the plants helped her fall in love with being alive, how they offer an antidote to the modern ailments of fragmentation, isolation, and loneliness, and simple ways to connect more deeply with the natural world around us.


    This conversation is an invitation to come home to your body, trust your senses, and remember your original instructions from the Creator: to give your gifts generously for the benefit of all beings.


    In this episode, we explore:

    • The wonderous "side effects" of herbal medicine,

    • How plants bridge the gap between enlightenment and physical embodiment,

    • Moving past supplements to find true connection with living plants,

    • The miracle of Hyssop: A story of physical healing and the restoration of trust in nature,

    • Plant intelligence and the "Original Instructions",

    • Trusting your "Truth Bumps",

    • The Microcosm / Macrocosm,

    • Divination and the mystery of reality,

    • Finding your "Guardian Tree": A practical exercise for protection and connection, and

    • Why processing grief is essential to accessing true, medicinal joy.

    Dec 26 2025
    In this episode, I have the profound honor of sitting down with Thomas Drake, a former senior executive at the National Security Agency (NSA) who became one of the most consequential whistleblowers of our time. After exposing post-9/11 mass surveillance and systemic abuses of power, Thomas faced 35 years in prison under the Espionage Act, only to walk free as a living testament to integrity under fire.We journey through his "moment of truth" at the NSA and dive deep into his evolution from a veteran of the Air Force, Navy, and CIA to a seeker of spiritual and metaphysical truth. Together, we explore the fine line between secrecy and transparency, the dangers of a "highly ordered dystopia," and how we can collapse the potentiality of a dark future to manifest a redeemed world.This conversation is a bridge between the "shadow lands" of national security and the blazing hope of a human rebirth, reminding us that we are not just human doings, but human interbeings.In this episode, we explore:04:34 How a near-death experience at age four sparked a lifelong search for truth.11:50 Reporting to the NSA on 9/1111:00 The "Shadow Lands" of secrecy: How government institutions become addicted to hiding the truth.27:30 The cost of courage: Facing 10 felony counts and 35 years in prison for upholding the Constitution.30:13 How intentionality collapses the future into our present reality.36:42 Corporate Futurism vs. Conscious Futurism: Breaking the "spell" of inevitable technocracy.38:20 Using ancient memory to navigate the complexity of the modern nexus point.42:15 Why human governments fail and how we must learn to govern ourselves.50:13 Moving past the pathology of power to find unity on our "privileged planet." 51:55 The vision of a redeemed Earth and the upcoming transition beyond the event horizon.About Thomas DrakeThomas Drake is a former senior executive at the National Security Agency turned whistleblower on post-9/11 mass surveillance, government malfeasance, and intelligence failures.

  • Secrets of Ancient Egypt with Stephen Mehler

    Secrets of Ancient Egypt with Stephen Mehler
    Dec 12 2025

    In this episode, I’m deeply honored to dive into the secrets of ancient Egypt, otherwise known as Khemet, with one of my esteemed teachers, Stephen Mehler.


    Stephen is an archaeologist, prehistorian, and indigenous wisdom keeper who spent almost 16 years as a student and close friend of Egyptian-born Egyptologist, Abd’El Hakim Awyan (Hakim).


    We explore the ancient Sufi wisdom passed down through his teacher, Hakim's oral tradition, challenging Greco-Roman Egyptology and diving into Khemet as a matriarchal civilization with advanced technology and consciousness.


    We weave the sciences of archaeology and astrophysics with the spiritual truth that Consciousness is Love and that we are multi-dimensional beings.

    04:35 Ancient Sufi wisdom and the oral tradition of Khemet.


    13:29 The matriarchal foundation of ancient Egypt.


    15:13 The Great Sphinx's true age and the geological evidence for a civilization over 50,000 years old.


    19:09 The Age of Ammon (darkness) and the current cycle of awakening.


    30:54 Advanced technology: how the ancients used sound and water to create anti-gravity fields and free energy.
