Lunacy

Welcome to Lunacy; where we discern the sacred from the insane and admit that whether we like it or not, we are all profoundly affected by the cycles of the moon.In this 100th Episode of LUNACY, I return to my very first guest, Sterling Hawkins.  Author of the incredible book, HUNTING DISCOMFORT, Keynote Speaker, and now Adventure Leader, Sterling seriously kicks ass.  : )We are on location for this one in the Atacama Desert in Chile.  One of the most remote regions of the world, we go deep into the depths of what it means to hike up to 19,000 feet with a group of people intent on personal transformation.  We talk about the profound benefits of going through an initiation like this, the challenges and benefits therein, and the profound privilege it is to be alive.  What does it mean to live life powerfully "No Matter What?"  To go after what you truly want "No Matter What?"  To live the life of your dreams "No Matter What?"  This one is ripe with morsels of how to navigate this crazy life like you mean it.  What an honor it is to come full circle 100 episodes later with my brother, Sterling Hawkins.  ***********************I’m Geoff Eido.

Welcome to Lunacy; where we discern the sacred from the insane and admit that whether we like it or not, we are all profoundly affected by the cycles of the moon.Today on LUNACY, I interview a real Master, Father Sean O'Laoire.  Father Sean is a Mystic and an ex-priest.  He was booted out of the Catholic Church for advocating for female priests and preaching about reincarnation.  Father Sean digs into his own history of working in Africa, and the revelations  of working with people of four different languages there.  His own history of working to discover and document various Irish Proverbs.  We get into the nature of what this incarnation means for us, how to more deeply connect with each other and our sense of the divine, and what it means to embrace the witness mind.  Truly, this is one of my favorite interviews of all time.  Enjoy***********************I’m Geoff Eido.

Welcome to Lunacy; where we discern the sacred from the insane and admit that whether we like it or not, we are all profoundly affected by the cycles of the moon.Today on LUNACY, I interview my good friend Mica Balabuch.  He's an Alchemist.  Not metaphorically, actually.  We delve into the history of Alchemy from Egypt, and possibly Atlantis, and the deep, dark, beautiful truth about this ancient art.Of particular interest are discussions about the Philosopher's Stone and the Elixir of Life.  Both of which have a great deal of lore about them.  Here we talk about the reality of these things as perfected matter.  Is it real?  So it seems.  This is a profoundly interesting episode in terms of investigating an art that is perhaps the initial science, that is still being used and explored today.  Perhaps it's time to bring it into the light.  ***********************I’m Geoff Eido.

Welcome to Lunacy; where we discern the sacred from the insane and admit that whether we like it or not, we are all profoundly affected by the cycles of the moon.Today on LUNACY, we're in Egypt!  This podcast was recorded in sight of the Great Pyramids.  No joke.  This talk was on the last day of a two week pilgrimage in Egypt.  It was stunning.  Truly awe-inspiring.  Like how on earth did they build all of these astonishing structures?  And why?This is where we delve in this episode.  There's a lot of reflection on what it's like to enter these temples in a sacred way, with reverence.  We dig into some of the mythology that led to the creation of these sites.  We also look at what the Ancient Egyptians believed:  Leading from the heart.  Living by virtues.  Embodying a cycle of offering.This one is good for those of us who marvel at the largest, most incredible buildings on earth, all created to honor the divine.  Some secrets are revealed.  Others are pondered.  Good stuff.  Much Love***********************I’m Geoff Eido.

Welcome to Lunacy; where we discern the sacred from the insane and admit that whether we like it or not, we are all profoundly affected by the cycles of the moon.Today on LUNACY, I interview my brother Mikaal Bates.  Bates is a leader in "The King's Code", a men's initiatory path I have taken.  We discuss in detail what it means to take this path, the path of service and self-investigation.We also dive into the need for Men's Work in the world, what it means to take full responsibility for one's life, what it means to be of service.  Good bit of the importance of differentiating yourself from a boy.  Good bit of the absolute necessity for us to rise into our power.This is actually a really excellent expression of our hearts, in my humble opinion.  I also share a song at the end, featuring Bates on beatbox.  It's good, but not perfect.  As are we.  Much Love***********************I’m Geoff Eido.

Welcome to Lunacy; where we discern the sacred from the insane and admit that whether we like it or not, we are all profoundly affected by the cycles of the moon.Today on LUNACY, I interview my very good friend and soul sister, LeeAnn Mallorie.  LeeAnn is a Master Coach of Executive Women and Disruptors of all sorts.  We dive deep into what it means to "dismantle the inner patriarchy" not as some sort of tear down of the status quo, but rather a reflection on where we refuse to allow ourselves to feel our feelings, give ourselves permission, and follow our heart's path.  We boil down what it means to be a man, what it means to be a woman, and how we work together to achieve the best for all around us.  There's considerable discussion of the benefits and challenges of working with Ayahuasca, and what happens when we take prayer back from religion and make it our own.Some good tips in here on how to give ourselves permission to be ourselves wherever we are, whatever we do, however we do it.  Good stuff.  Enjoy.  ***********************I’m Geoff Eido.

Welcome to Lunacy; where we discern the sacred from the insane and admit that whether we like it or not, we are all profoundly affected by the cycles of the moon.Today on LUNACY, I interview Super Coach Joshua Wenner on the importance of Grieving to becoming a healthy human.  We delve into our immense propensity to ignore, numb, or otherwise transcend our grief, and how that just makes the dragon bigger.  We get into some super easy tools to help us regulate our nervous system, such as 4-6 breathing, hands under the armpits, getting your run on, and other tools.  We talk about Joshua's history in personal development, and his personal history of grief, mostly as it relates to the loss of his brother.We talk about what it means to be an adult in today's society.  How it is that we take radical responsibility for our lives, and continue to admit our failures and course correct on the path to living fully.  This is a great interview full of wisdom and insight.  There's also a bit of post mortem on the concert I just put up.  Good stuff all around.  Enjoy.***********************I’m Geoff Eido.

Welcome to Lunacy; where we discern the sacred from the insane and admit that whether we like it or not, we are all profoundly affected by the cycles of the moon.Today on LUNACY, we flip the switch.  My wife, Christine, interviews ME about my upcoming show at the Center for the Arts in Grass Valley, CA.  We get into the heart of why LUNACY exists, how it got created, and some of my favorite moments.  She asks me about comedy and has me share some silliness of my own design.  We rap about service, and why that secret gold is so important.I share some music and talk about what this upcoming concert means to me on September 14th, the intention of it, and what it is that I'm creating with this show.  This was a lot of fun for me, and an excellent reflection on an upcoming extremely pivotal moment in my life.   ***********************I’m Geoff Eido.
