  • I like the content and guests, but…

    The new short format is not that satisfying, issues can barely be touched on and then we are directed to pay for the classes. It’s disappointing bc this form of monetizing deprives the listening experience… It’s really important content, too bad I’m too broke in disability to keep paying and paying for subscriptions

  • Peaceful and inspiring

    This is the kind of content I want when I want to learn but don’t want to add to my overwhelm and stress. I feel calmer, energized, and grounded after listening to episodes (instead of activated and stressed like other media).

  • Can’t recommend more

    I’ve been listening to this podcast for years and just love everything about it. It’s so insightful and just beautiful. I always learn something new and am made to feel more relaxed by the end of each episode. Loving the website, zines, films and learning tools.

  • Opinion, belief, and fact

    I treasure this podcast. Ayana is an extraordinary interlocutor. I am writing because I just listened to the Sophie Strand interview. Several times in her very opinionated view of the world she shared beliefs and opinions that are just that, but which have basis in truth or fact. One can tell wondrous stories of the living world that dissolve one’s sense of “self.” Her stories do the opposite though it is obviously not her intention.

  • Deep Wild Wisdom

    In a world full of faux news, disinformation, misinformation, propaganda and fear-mongering, this podcast series is a refreshing reminder of what’s really true and real and important.

    The series fills my heart with a profound knowing that in the long game world of the soul, every big and small act of faith and goodness actually matters, and no thought, word or gesture goes unnoticed by the natural world. This knowing inspires me to do better and never give up. Thank you from the depths of my b... more
