The Healer Series holds conversations with healers to speak about their modalities and hopefully support listeners on their path. Volume II includes conversations with some beloveds doing beautiful work, from sound healing to human design and eco-somatic practitioners. This episode's guest is my dearest friend, Ianne Rivera. Ianne is an Embodiment Composer who works with sound to hold space to engage with sensuality for emotional exploration and pleasure liberation. She creates audio-journeys called Sonic Rituals. Inspired by hip-hop, classical music, nature, and the feeling of timelessness, a Sonic Ritual is a healing modality that awakens and activates the inner Self that has been dormant. In this conversation we talk about: Grief as love that has no place to go. Journeying with our body through this life. The preciousness and gratitude of living into mature age. Being guided by our hearts and surrendering the mind. Valuing our inner life as the most important life. Ianne is also the creator of The Healer Series Intro Song.

Lauren Ashley, Woman of Rivers, is a spiritual coach who integrates the tarot, divination, and ancestral connection as a tool for self-development and intergenerational healing. She comes from a long lineage of healers whose legacy of service comes through in her personal and professional practice.I had the pleasure of collaborating with Lauren on a cohort we called Elemental Magick many moons ago. This episode is sort of a condensed version of those teachings or rather I should say the recalling our intuitive knowings. We walk through each element and its correlations; seasons, rituals and their expressions in the world around us. We recorded this episode mid Summer season so hoping the energy of fire can hold us now as we walk through the depths of Winter.

Kalpana Arias joins me on this episode of the Healer Series Podcast.  I've been wanting to record a podcast with Kalpana for a while now because I think she's brilliant. She is a technologist, urban greening activist, food-growing educator, writer, speaker and the founder of Nowadays On Earth, a social enterprise advocating for contact with nature in the digital age. Alongside Nowadays On Earth, Kalpana campaigns for urban nature and nature rights through urban rewilding projects and tech policy reforms, has been researching ecosomatics and technological ecologies for over 7 years, delivered a global TED talk, spoken at the United Nations and The Eden Project, and is a trustee for GROW charity. Kalpana is currently an environmental consultant for corporations and governments and works with leading charities, institutions, brands and grassroot change-makers. Her work around advocating for contact with nature is deeply moving and inspiring to me. She explains ecosomatics, the climate crisis and technological advancement in such a forward thinking way while holding space for what's happening in the present. Kalpana asks and answers questions in a way that provoke thought and compassion while navigating toward solutions. In this conversation we talk about: remembrance about tuning into the frequencies of who we are somatics and what it means to inhabit your body allowing our bodies to process through what is happening in our environment leaning into the growth edges of our societies transformation living through the climate crisis while holding polarities allowing the concept of being nature and also a technological evolutionary being guide one another tapping into our innate joy as a practice to sustain ourselves Show Notes: Keep in Touch with Kalpana - @ariasaleja @kalpana.arias Sign Up for the Newsletter Maker's Arcade San Diego Holiday Market

This weeks guest is a dear old friend, actor, content creator and journalist Mr. Matthew Lane Cullen. Matt created a youtube series entitled, Our Queer Story. It documents stories in the queer community that aren't often heard. What I was drawn to most is the story telling aspect that is so necessary on our healing journeys. The importance of being witnessed by another with the knowing that healing doesn't happen in isolation. Feel free to watch the episodes here for context but please note this content warning on topics of houselessness, addiction and conversion therapy. In this episode Matt & I discuss: his intention for creating the series curiosity as an act of relating the complexities and realities of the queer community the resilient act of transforming systemic oppression and pain into power and purpose Show Notes: @mattcullen Our Queer Life Connect with Mariposa: @mariposajournal Join the newsletter
