  • Generous and Inspiring

    I have found the couple of episodes I have listen to a gentle and passionate exploration of rites of passage as it is being offered and practiced today. I very much appreciate a UK perspective in this movement. It makes it more relatable and relevant to my own life experience. Thank you for these wonderful enriching conversations.

Where Are the Men? The Quiet Revolution of Masculine Healing with Hugh Newton
Q: What do younger men need today to grow into open-hearted, connected leaders?
They need a positive societal view of men, meaningful initiation or early-life challenges (the hero's journey), and opportunities to work on their inner world with supportive male peers.
Where Are the Men? The Quiet Revolution of Masculine Healing with Hugh Newton
Q: What is the world of your longing when it comes to men and masculinity?
A world of balanced, self-aware, mature, loving men who stand with women and earth, free from old patriarchal constraints and capable of bringing their hearts into leadership.
Mystic Nomad: A Woman's Wild Journey to True Connection with Annette Knopp
Q: What does true connection mean to you now?
True connection means a holistic sense of belonging, solid purpose, access to transcendent experience, and a coherent personal narrative; it's about feeling belonging on earth, having purpose, and maintaining a grounded, compassionate presence.
Mystic Nomad: A Woman's Wild Journey to True Connection with Annette Knopp
Q: What was it that brought you to leave your idyll and embark on this journey?
A deep restlessness and an enduring sense of not belonging, compounded by a personal history of trauma, led Annette to leave a settled life in Europe, travel, and seek grounding in diverse spiritual traditions, ultimately driving her toward healing and integration.
How to Attract Conscious Love (with Asa Baav)
Q: What is the main pattern someone should track in order to change their relationship dynamics?
The host introduces the idea of identifying the dominant personal pattern (e.g., anxious attachment or rushing to connect) and then deliberately slowing down, clarifying what one truly wants, and engaging nervous system regulation to support new behaviors and a more secure, authentic approach to relationships.
