E50 | Rosemerry Trommer | Hallelujah Anyway: Poetry and Praise in the Key of Grief
... “Part of what it means to be a poet right now is to know that we are surrounded by poems, that we live poems, that we are a poem, living. ” — Rosemerry Trommer . . What does it mean to be a poet in these times of horror and wonder, beauty and despair? For Rosemerry, poetry is both bridge and practice: it joins the inner and outer worlds, invites us to stay present to what is, lets the world shape us, and offers something honest, authentic, and beautiful in return. She describes poetry as an apprenticeship to mystery and an opening into a life of presence and praise. “One way to deal with the ache of the world,” she reminds us, “is with beauty.” In this conversation, Rosemerry shares poems written with a profound depth of heart, verses that meet sorrow with beauty and honour the glimmers of grace that surround us each day. Together we explore poetry as a radical form of responsivity: how it expands the self, supports the ongoing process of true-ing, and allows us to be guided by wonder. Poetry becomes a passageway into living more fully, an opening to the immensity of life, and a way of moving through the world as if every moment is an invitation to say, Hallelujah Anyway.

E49 | Daniele Bolelli | Meaningful Mischief: Kindness, Stories, and Life Beyond Dogma
... “At the beginning of everything, there has to be kindness . . . Once you start from that point, then breaking rules is different than someone who breaks rules from a self-serving viewpoint.” — Daniele Bolelli . . Drawing inspiration from historical figures like the wild Zen master Ikkyū, Daniele shows how stories, ritual, kindness, and joy can guide us toward living a simpler and happier life, beyond dogma. We explore the tension between tradition and dogma, monotheism and animism, certainty and openness, and how these contrasting orientations shape both personal and collective consciousness. Daniele brings these ideas to life through stories that have shaped him—from Bruce Lee to a 5,000-year-old mummified man discovered in the Alps—and shares how he curates epic tales through his podcast History on Fire to fuel his own growth and curiosity, as well as that of his listeners. Through daily rituals, reflective practices, and following threads of meaning across stories both new and ancient, Daniele offers a wild and humble path for navigating the modern world with discernment, pleasure, and balance. This conversation invites us to reconsider spiritual orthodoxy, nurture inner freedom, and cultivate steadiness amid an uncertain and a rapidly changing world.

E48 | Jovan Sage | Death as Ally: Uncertainty, Fear, and the Tender Art of Surrender
... “When I think about death and dying, and how I want to die, it actually brings me closer to how I want to live.” — Jovan Sage . . We continue the conversation by asking Jovan about ancestral healing and land practices, which you can find here. . . Jovan invites us into a radical reimagining of death—not as something to resist, but as an ally to walk with. Grounded in the four foundations of her deathwork—death as teacher, letting go as art, uncertainty as the deepest lesson, and the calling as guide—she shares how these principles shape both her practice as a death midwife and her way of life. Drawing from her experience as a queer youth organizer and in her work with breath and relational practices, Jovan weaves stories of community care, grief, and intimacy. She speaks to how queerness has radicalized her relationship with death and life, how uncertainty invites us to anchor in what matters most, and how tending to fear with tenderness can open us to deeper love. At its core, this is a conversation about becoming more death-literate, about remembering that grief and love are kin, and about living in a way that prepares us to die with integrity, connection, and grace.

E47 | David Bedrick | What’s It Like Being You?: Listening for Soul Beneath Shame and Suffering
... “Shame hides us from ourselves.” — David Bedrick . . In this compassionate conversation, David invites us to see shame and suffering not as flaws to fix, but as doorways into deeper understanding. Drawing from decades of intimate therapeutic work, he illuminates how healing begins when we recognize and honour the intelligence within even our most difficult experiences. Together, we explore the courage it takes to slow down amid the myriad pressures of modernity, to loosen the grip of survival strategies, and to allow parts of ourselves to fall apart—inviting a kind of beautiful ruination that makes space for true care and soulful transformation. At the heart of this conversation is a call to unshame ourselves and each other through presence, curiosity, and compassion rooted in a deep recognition of life’s wild and woven wisdom.

E46 | Adi Cohen | Between Ruin and Renewal: Walking the Path of Love, Peace, and Resistance
... “There’s nothing to fight for but Love, as the essence of who we are.” — Adi Cohen . . Listen to another conversation between Adi and me Here . . In this tender and unflinching conversation, Adi shares from the deep well of her lived experience as a woman of Syrian, Iranian, Iraqi, and Israeli descent—lineages shaped by exile, migration, and the generational longing for safety. Speaking from within woven landscapes of both inner and outer war, Adi invites us into an exploration of what it means to live in the mystery, to surrender to the unknown, and to return to love as the essence of true power. We trace the arc of her journey through dissonance, doubt, and division. Growing up in Israel amid the backdrop of conflict, Adi reflects on the rupture between her ancestral roots and the land she was born into. What emerges is not a story of blame or sides, but a clarion call to dissolve separation, to meet chaos with presence, and to walk the dark Feminine path of trust, tenderness, and embodied prayer. This episode is an invitation to soften, to listen, and to lean into the deeper current beneath division—the unspoken yearning of all people to live freely, in peace, and in love.

E45 | Urana Jackson | Thresholds of Liberation: Rites, Relationality, and the Architecture of Change
... “A threshold is a symbol of change . . . The threshold becomes the entrance of that change, of that movement.” — Urana Jackson . . Listen to another conversation between Urana and me Here . . This conversation with Urana unfolds as a rich inquiry into healing as an initiatory process—an embodied, relational, and sacred threshold crossing. Tracing the roots of her work with Safe House Seven, Urana reflects on the pivotal experiences that shaped her path: growing up amid the “brackish” confluence of ocean and natural spring, navigating a complex multicultural identity, and integrating Yoruba healing traditions with Western psychological praxis. We explore the psycho-somatic-social-spiritual architecture of thresholds—how they appear in personal, cultural, and collective transformation—and why approaching them with intention, containment, and reverence is essential, especially for those most impacted by systems of oppression. Urana speaks to the power of ancestral connection, the necessity of reciprocity in healing, and the ways psychedelic medicine can be integrated into liberatory frameworks for BIPOC communities. With grounded insight and visionary clarity, Urana invites us to reimagine healing not as a solo endeavour or clinical quick fix, but as a lifelong rite of relational liberation.

E44 | Robyn Watt | The Weave of Life: Dying to Live, Living to Love
... “Being in close proximity to death really enlivens the life force within us.” — Robyn Watt . . This is a tender and intimate conversation recorded in the wake of Robyn’s recent journey with cancer—an experience that drew her into profound reverence for her earthen form and the animate force that weaves through all of creation. She reflects on how close proximity to death sharpens the clarity and immediacy of life and love, inviting us to consider death not as an end but as a beginning: an ancient cycle where darkness nourishes the light, and where land, lineage, and story weave the spiralling tapestry of Life. Drawing on Celtic wisdom, ancestral practices, and Earthly flows and forces, Robyn offers a spacious invitation to presence and simplicity, calling us to recognize where our hearts draw sustenance and to pour ourselves fully into what truly matters—reminding us that, though our time is uncertain, love and connection endure.

E43 | Finnegan Tui | Echoes of the Old One: Following Songs Through Glowing Lights and Rolling Thunder
... “Make me a melody, Old One, make me sure, remind me I’m the animal who dances for the dawn. I think we’re fading, Old One, lost indoors. We give our lives to glowing lights, it’s lonely like you warned. So I’ll be leaving, Old One, I can’t stay. Are there others who hear thunder rolling in and run out in the rain?” — Finnegan Tui . . Finnegan joins us for a soulful exploration of music as an artful practice of presence, myth, and remembering. We begin by reflecting on what it means to be a wild creature in a wired world—and how that tension shapes his creative process. We discuss the lyrical roots of some of his music, the role of attention and curiosity in creation, and the journey from disenchantment to re-enchantment. Finnegan shares insights into how he tends to soul and beauty while engaging with the demands of visibility and digital culture. What unfolds is a conversation about creativity as care, songwriting as devotion, and the longing to live in rhythm with something older and wilder than the modern world often allows—while still remaining rooted and responsive within it.

E42 | Naila Francis | Companioning Grief: Trusting the Wild Wisdom of Sorrow
... “To companion our grief, and to let grief companion us, really opens us to a richer, deeper experience of what it means to be alive.” — Naila Francis . . A Year to Live Coyotei Counsel Testimonials . . Naila Francis joins us for a tender and wide-ranging exploration of grief as both a personal and collective invitation into deeper aliveness. We begin by reflecting on her own words—about befriending grief as a companion—and follow the thread into the mythic, feminine, and generative nature of this trans-human terrain of fertile mystery. Together, we explore the threshold moments that initiate us into a fuller experience of life: the descent into darkness, the fear of not knowing, and the cultural amnesia that distances us from grief’s native wisdom. Naila speaks to the deep intelligence of the broken heart, the art of grieving, and how turning toward pain—rather than away from it—can bring about profound transformation. We speak of grief as instinctual, elemental, and rooted in the more-than-human world. From forest walks to conversations with stones and wild waters, Naila shares how Earth herself has helped expand her capacity to sit with sorrow. What emerges is a conversation about soulful living, emotional intimacy, and the healing power of trusting that our sorrow is sacred.

... “Fathoming deep time is arguably geology’s single greatest contribution to humanity.” — Marcia Bjornerud . . BY-DONATION TICKETS TO RISE & REVITALIZE Coyotei Counsel Testimonials . . Marcia offers a wondrous window into deep time—a perspective that expands our sense of belonging within Earth’s long, layered story. As a geologist, she helps us see beyond the narrow bandwidth of the present into the slow, enduring processes that shape Life on our precious planet. We explore how timefulness—attuning to Earth’s vast cycles and rhythms—offers perspective, responsibility, and even solace. Marcia reflects on the cultural denial of time, or chronophobia, and invites us to place ourselves more honestly as part of Earth’s ancient presence. From the microbial worlds of the Proterozoic to the super-slow cycles of water that reach into Earth’s interior, Marcia helps us remember the unseen and essential patterns that sustain Life. We also touch on the Gaia Hypothesis, the illusion of space colonization, and the humble messiness of real science. At its heart, this conversation is an invitation to live with reverence, humility, and awareness of deep time—and the deep future to come.

Coyotei Counsel Testimonials . . Francisca joins us for a deep dive into the intelligence of plants and the remembering they invite. From early childhood encounters with hibiscus to her path as a Vegetalista, she shares how plants have been lifelong allies—guiding her through physical healing, ancestral revelation, and spiritual initiation. We explore the echoes of Earth’s call—felt by so many today—to consciously rekindle our relationship with the plant nations through herbalism, psychedelic medicine, apprenticing with master plant teachers, and attuning to the subtle ways the land invites us into co-creation. Francisca reflects on ayahuasca’s transformative power, the layered shifts in perception that plants inspire, and how healing is, at its core, a remembering of who we truly are.

... “It’s the integration, the alchemy of that lead into gold.” — Peter Eugène Bennet . . TICKETS TO RISE & REVITALIZE (Remember to use WHR25 for 25% off!) Coyotei Counsel Testimonials . . Peter joins us to explore the wild terrain of masculinity. Together, we reflect on how early models of masculinity shaped our lives—leaving wounds manifesting as anger, shame, and fear, but also offering gifts, including those forged from forgiveness, integration, and gratitude. Through somatic work, sacred union, and deep self-inquiry, Peter discovered life-affirming ways to transform his early wounds into sources of vitality, strength, and wisdom. We delve into grief as initiation, death as an essential teacher, and the hidden intelligence within suicidal tendencies when seen through a mythic lens. Our conversation also touches on the delicate balance between masculine and feminine energies, the importance of embodying a ‘strong back and a soft front,’ and the Trickster’s role as a force of disruption and renewal. Peter invites us to walk lightly through life and calls for more playfulness in men’s work—reminding us that true masculinity is a dynamic dance of vulnerability, strength, love, and joy.

Drawing from her own creative journey, she discusses finding beauty in imperfection, embracing beauty as a transformative force, and the importance of giving back through art.

Bodhi’s insights invite us to see beauty as a regenerative cycle that connects us to the living world and encourages us to share what we receive.

Georgia joins us for a journey into the heart of health, revealing how true wellness is rooted in connection—both within ourselves and with the world around us. Drawing from her own healing journey, she shares insights on listening to the body's subtle signals, honouring the natural rhythms of both body and landscape, tending to the nervous system, and embracing symptoms as vital messages to be understood and respected. Together, we explore the ancient, receptive nature of the body, the connective power of foraging and ritual, and the sweetness of simplicity. We reflect on the challenge of navigating modern conveniences while staying grounded in well-being, discovering how slowing down to truly listen can reconnect us to the earthen wisdom we carry within.

Zoe Kian joins us for a journey into the resonant spaces between silence, sound, and soul. We begin with a creative reflection on Goethe’s insight—that we see in the world what we carry in our hearts—and unfold into a rich exploration of how coherence, power, and embodied expression can become acts of true alignment. Zoe speaks to the subtle beauty that emerges from stillness, inviting us into a deeper state of listening—not only with our ears, but with our entire being. We explore the importance of “ensouled language”—how the words we speak can become vessels of intention and creation. From the generative emptiness to the radical aliveness of coherence in attunement to the present moment, Zoe offers insights grounded in lived experience. We touch into the tensions of paradox, the wisdom of the body, the alchemy of rage, and the dynamic integrity required to live a life of outrageous love.

... “What does it mean to be close? What does it mean to put your hands on the Earth and to let the Earth be on you, recognizing how much we are the Earth?” — Aaron Johnson . . A YEAR TO LIVE TICKETS TO RISE & REVITALIZE HEARTHWOVEN SUBSTACK . . Aaron Johnson shares powerful insights from his journey of embracing tenderness and closeness as transformative orientations for healing and activism. He opens up about how the grief of his father’s death cracked open his emotional capacity, allowing him to reconnect with deeper, more sensitive parts of himself that had long been neglected by both the American overculture and his individual upbringing. We explore how the simple act of slowing down to truly see and be with each other becomes a radical, healing gesture—how proximity and intimacy are essential for dismantling oppression and building deep, rooted connection. Aaron describes how "closeness" nourishes our ability to connect with our bodies, our hearts, and each other in ways that can lead to collective liberation. He reflects on his childhood, the silence around sensuality and tenderness, and how these qualities challenge societal norms—especially within Black masculinity. Through his practice of touch and somatic connection, Aaron offers a pathway toward greater wholeness, both within ourselves and in our relationships with Earth and one another. We also discuss how stepping away from the demands of capitalism allows space for deeper connection and intimacy, and how rewilding, both personally and collectively, is key to healing ancestral wounds. Aaron emphasizes the importance of creating inclusive spaces for people of colour in nature-based gatherings, which are vital for fostering co-liberation and community evolution.

E34 | Azra Bertrand | Our Bodies Are Biomantic: On the Magic, Mystery, & Medicine of Being Alive
... “Our body is made of magic, with incredible powers of regenerative healing and intuitive wisdom.” — Azra Bertrand . . A YEAR TO LIVE TICKETS TO RISE & REVITALIZE HEARTHWOVEN SUBSTACK . . Azra begins by sharing about his time alone in the Alaskan wilderness as a young man—how it awakened his primal senses and reshaped his path, connecting him to Earth and to his deep self in profound ways. We explore the long integration of those initiatory experiences, including the challenges of navigating medical school and academia while holding a worldview that often felt at odds with the mainstream. Through this crucible, Azra’s understanding of life and healing began to crystallize into what he now calls biomancy—a relational, reverent way of engaging with the intelligence of biology. Rather than “hacking” the body, he invites us to romance it, to court it as we might a river or a mountain. We speak of the body as a womb of living magic, rooted in bio-quantum processes and capable of astonishing healing and transformation. Azra shares stories from his clinical experience and reflects on the difference between domination-based approaches to healing and those grounded in slowness, humility, and connection. We explore individuation, ancestral healing, and the imaginal realm as core to true medicine—realms where image shapes reality, and where magic arises from reciprocal relationship.

... “Without dreams we could not survive, and although it is possible to get by without remembering our dreams, a life guided and shaped by dreaming is a life that follows the innate knowing of the Earth itself.” — Toko-pa Turner . . A YEAR TO LIVE TICKETS TO RISE & REVITALIZE HEARTHWOVEN SUBSTACK . . Toko-pa opens a doorway into the deep imaginal world, reminding us that dreams are not mere fragments of the thinking mind, but mysterious and meaningful expressions of Nature herself. In this conversation, Toko-pa invites us to remember the ancestral art of dreaming—an embodied, reciprocal practice that has long guided the human spirit. Together, we explore what it means to live a dream-led life in a culture that prizes the measurable and dismisses the mystical. Toko-pa shares powerful insights on the loss—and return—of Sophia, the archetype of embodied wisdom, and how reweaving a relationship with the dreaming world can help us recover the parts of ourselves exiled by modernity. From the forgotten art of daydreaming to the radical courage it takes to step into the unknown, this episode moves through symbol, shadow, and silence with reverence. Toko-pa reminds us that the dreamworld is not something we own or interpret for gain, but a living realm we are meant to court with wonder, humility, and love.

Nadia Ramo invites us into the living ecosystem of her healing arts practice—one rooted in reciprocity, embodied listening, and a sincere relationship with the more-than-human world. Through her words, a vision of health emerges that is not merely the absence of illness, but a process of realignment with the deeper intelligence of Nature. We explore Nadia’s healing philosophy, including her unique weaving of Indigenous and Chinese medicine traditions, and how she draws insight from the meta-patterns of the natural world. She shares her personal journey of navigating serious health diagnoses, choosing to side-step the dominant biomedical model and instead listen more deeply—to her intuition, her body, and the Earth. Together, we examine the language of symptoms, the medicine of perception, and the sacrifices often asked of us when turning toward the wildness of the living world. Through stories and potent reflections, Nadia speaks to the magic of healing as a relational act—one grounded in reverence, courage, and deep communication with the plant nations of Earth.

E31 | Wahinkpe Topa | From Rock to Wind: Kinship, Courage & Living with Heart
... “What we’re looking at here is a way of being on this planet, in this universe, that recognizes our deep interconnectedness with everything in nature and gives respect to the sentience of everything, from a rock to an ant to the wind.” — Wahinkpe Topa . . A YEAR TO LIVE RISE & REVITALIZE HEARTHWOVEN SUBSTACK . . Wahinkpe Topa invites us into a way of being that is rooted in kinship, reverence, and the recognition of the living intelligence of all things. Drawing from personal experience, Indigenous wisdom, and years of healing work—including hypnosis, regression therapy, and ceremony—he illuminates both the spiritual and practical dimensions of restoring our relationship with Earth and Spirit. We explore his near-death experience and what it revealed about the nature of spirit and embodiment, as well as his groundbreaking work with hypnotic communication in life-saving situations. Along the way, Wahinkpe Topa contrasts Indigenous and dominant worldviews, offering reflections on reincarnation, self-hypnosis, and the role of fear as a transformative ally. At the heart of this episode is a call to reclaim a kinship-based identity—one that recognizes the sacredness and sentience of the rock, the ant, the wind—and moves through the world with love, humility, and courage. Wahinkpe Topa shares stories that embody this worldview, including his time at Standing Rock and a powerful framework (CAT-FAWN) for living with integrity in troubled times. We close with a timely invocation to redefine hope—not as the guarantee of an outcome, but as devotion to right action in service of Life.
