The Mystery School PodcastCreating a container for incubationAs a collective, we have been gifted spaciousness in a way we have never seen before. A third of the world is on lockdown, and many of us in the west are privileged enough to get paid and compensated for staying home. How do we make the most of this time? I have been witnessing enormous amounts of creativity as people have been writing, painting, sharing workshops, and classes from the comfort of their own homes. This global crisis could become a very potent incubator for those of us who should choose to u...2020-04-0100 min
The Mystery School PodcastCoronavirus : our collective process of death / birthThis is my third (and hopefully last) episode on the coronavirus.Recording this from my home in Spain, death tolls are soaring as we live under extreme lock down conditions. As death becomes so prominent around us, not only death of people, but of habits, jobs, relationships, etc... this situation has become a potent invitation to look at our relationship to death.For thousands of years, many traditions, religions and philosophies have considered death to be only part of a process which also includes rebirth.This episode explores how beneficial it can be...2020-03-2600 min

For most of us, the...2020-03-1700 min
The Mystery School PodcastCoronavirus: A shaman's viewCoronavirus has overtaken our media, and even seeped into our politics.Yet there is a backlash from people questioning if things are really as bad as are being demonstrated.My "shamanic" take on the situation involves stripping away layers of illusion and looking at the potential gift behind this global situation. Is this the universe nudging us to slow down our consumption and be more respectful to our environment? Could it be a cosmic invitation for us to collectively slow down, make space in our lives and perhaps begin a much-needed global healing process? 2020-03-0900 min
The Mystery School PodcastAwakening deeper creativityWhen it comes to groundbreaking creativity, where does inspiration truly come from?Were ancient temples really built by slaves who spent years pushing heavy stones up intelligently maneuvered cable systems? Or could these have been miraculously flung into place by the power of a single magician's words and intention?Even today, so many of us wrack our brains trying to figure out how we will create and produce the material we want to share with the world and call forth success. Then people like Adele and The Beatles come along and create hit singles effortlessly...2020-02-1300 min

This November full moon edition kicks off our 3rd season together as well as a new name and a new format. Each episode will be dedicated to a specific question which I often get from clients, workshop participants, or podcast listeners.For this first episode of the series, it made sense to start from the beginning: How do we get started on a spiritual path? I had some real resistance to making this question a podcast topic, mainly because people who attend my wo...2019-11-1200 min
The Mystery School PodcastOur healing confessionsI have to admit it: I love confessions, everything about them, every which way. Publicly revealing “shameful” facts about my life somehow always seems to awaken the most orgasmic, erotic “frisson” in my field, while hearing others reveal their darkest secrets feels honest, trustworthy, and refreshing in a world where this isn’t the norm. It’s not about drama, a good gossip, nor the ego trip of getting an exclusive scoop. Confessing to ourselves and to others can become a gateway to our highest truth, a most effective practise for reaching our fullest spiritual expansion.2019-10-2800 min

The Mystery School PodcastUnravelling our fear paralysisWe often experience fear as a weakness, a roadblock, a paralysing, and dreaded inconvenience that makes us "less than."
When faced with it: we freeze, we fight, we flee.
We justify it by relating it to past experiences and traumas:
"XYZ happened when I was a kid; it will happen again. It will be worse next time.." etc.
We often avoid it so craftily that it even appears absent while its damages roar.
We want it gone. Banished.
It resists. Persists.
Its effects can be...2019-08-3000 min
The Mystery School PodcastThe material world delusionThere is an epic interview on youtube of Jim Carey with an E news fashion reporter at New York Fashion Week in 2017 which had the main stream media questioning the actor's sanity...
When prompted about what brings him to the (obviously superficial) event, he decides to embark on a rant about how meaningless it all is, because, in fact, "None of it exists". None of anything exists, according to Carey, it is all an illusion. As he walks away, smiling nonchalantly, the reporter is left dumbfounded, and shocked.
While perhaps the "E news'&qu...2019-08-0100 min

The Mystery School PodcastTHE TIME WE DOUBTED PLATO***Our collective denial of human potential, a concerted path of cultural self-sabotage. ***
In 360 BC, Plato became the first to publicly share the story of Atlantis, a lost civilization which had collapsed 9000 years earlier.
He was considered a genius and for years his work had been praised for its relevance and thought-provoking nature. This story, however, of a society of giants he described as advanced, utopian and God-like, was criticized with such a powerful fervor that, to this day, most still remain skeptical.
In my last episode, I spoke of the mystery schools which con...2019-05-2000 min
The Mystery School PodcastThe Mystery Schools of ancient civilisations: exploring the healing power of integrated beingness.How can we live fuller, richer lives? How do we live more purposely, supporting the betterment of others? In our current context, these have become important and popular questions.
A concept that really excites me when it comes to personal development is that of the mystery schools of ancient civilizations which is why I chose to share about it in this episode.
What is a mystery school?
Often referring back to the ancient Egyptians, the mystery schools were gatherings of teachers, shamans, and initiates which were held across the world. They aimed to share...2019-05-0500 min

BY DIVING INTO INNER SHADOWS WHICH ARE CRAVING RESOLUTION.
Apart from being a commercial holiday, Christmas was first and foremost a celebration of the arrival of Jesus Christ.
As a link to the divine realm, I believe he was a shaman.
But he was also an archetype for the highest level of consciousness achievable by mankind.
Scholars and historians, however, have challenged 25 December as Jesus’ actual birthdate, stating some details in the writings indicate he would have been bo...2018-12-0800 min

The Mystery School PodcastLiar Liar, sit in the fire. Our gateway to personal growth.How unraveling our patterns of dishonesty and deception can be the gateway to our enlightened self. When we surrender to deception, it can become magic. As a society we have demonised lying. And rightfully so. Lying is bad. It creates conflict, distrust and disconnection. What is worse, however, is labelling certain people as “liars” making them the “other” the enemy we are forced to cope with, whom we are the victims of. We often see lying as an act of malice, as if someone is trying to damage or hurt us. Sometimes they are. In my experience, lying often stems fr...2018-11-2600 min
