Ancient Wisdom Today

My heart exploded with expansion when I had the chance to connect with Mark Groves, the human connection specialist who empowers people with tools to reclaim the sacred relationship with themselves and those around them.  We align in our belief that, to come together, we have to break apart what is and dismantle the structures that imprison us—particularly the roles, labels, and boxes that keep us playing small.  Get prepared for some serious mic drop moments, as we consider how one can find a sense of belonging when we have been programmed to self-abandon, stigmatize, and segregate.  Resources: Website: markgroves.com Instagram: @createthelove Podcast: Create the Love  Song by Oskar Lindskog: Embrace the Dark  Advertisers + Sponsors: Shaman School: www.theshamanschool.com Lit Verified Store: www.shamandurek.com/store Healing Temple: www.shamandurek.com/healing-temp Learn more about your ad choices.

Rodrigo Garcia Platas has facilitated so much change in systematic psychology with his multi-faceted approach to human identity and development. He is a pioneer of information, and I'm so excited for you to learn more about his practice – and yourself – today.  After years as a transformation master coach, Rodrigo became versed in Unani BioTypes: An ancient method of identifying and categorizing the different types of humans. He began applying these principles to his work with great success, diagnosing people's personalities from facial expressions and body language alone.  Today we deep-dive into each biotype's characteristics and explore how they help us construct meaning in our world.  Resources: Workshops into biotypes: rgpdevelopment.com Instagram: @rgpdevelopment Soul talk meditation from thelife-code.com Advertisers + Sponsors: Shaman School: www.theshamanschool.com Lit Verified Store: www.shamandurek.com/store Healing Temple: www.shamandurek.com/healing-temp Learn more about your ad c

Dr. Caroline Leaf’s beautiful mind drops into the Lit-sphere today to talk about reconstructing the neural pathways of our brain to remedy what she defines as our “mental mess.” I love sharing with Dr. Leaf because she openly listens to shamanic principles, such as time travel, and grounds them in hard science. We delve deep into the mechanics of the brain/mind and the library of information we have stored in our non-conscious, which plays itself out in our everyday interactions. I strongly encourage you to take this mind-game to the next level by investing in her transformational book, “Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess: 5 Simple, Scientifically Proven Steps to Reduce Anxiety, Stress, and Toxic Thinking” Your mind (and heart!) will thank you for it.

I was fortunate to share a blessed moment with Shannon Algeo, a force of nature in the motivational space.  And today you have the chance to swim in the wisdom of his words as he shares his emotional journey of how he healed inter-generational wounds, detoxified his soul of misguided rage and toxic masculinity, and learned to exorcise anger through the cathartic practice of Yoga Nidra.  He has just birthed a beautiful book — “Trust your Truth” — which is a wonderful melody of teachings, meditations, and movements you can use to find the way back to yourself.  Resources: Read Shannon’s book, "Trust your Truth: Heal Self-Doubt, Awaken to Your Soul's Purpose, and Live Your Badass Life"          Website: www.shannonalgeo.com Instagram: @shannon.algeo Music: Heart Opening Music by @pianoalani Share your gifts with me: info@shamandurek.com  Advertisers + Sponsors: Shaman School: www.theshamanschool.com Lit Verified Store: www.shamandurek.com/store Healing Temple: www.shamandurek.com/healing-temp

Fueling the body with nutrient-enriched food is a lifestyle pillar in my household, and I love the clean, ceremonial connection earth-sourced food gives us.  Recently, I was drawn to the wonderful plant-based brand, Nutcase Vegan Meats, a delicious, nut-infused meat alternative that’s packed with all the yummy flavors of traditional meat fare.  From great chili to tacos and even jerky, Nutcase Vegan strives to make plant-based living accessible, tasty, and rich in nutrients.

Today I’m joined by Drew Canole, a man so connected to Mother Earth’s forces that he has dedicated his life to bringing people back to the natural world through what they consume.  Drew is an example of how high-vibrational thinking, eating, and drinking can amplify every aspect of our material and emotional self. What I love about him is that he articulates from the place of a true creator, having weaponized his past trauma to birth the exact life he wanted to manifest. He’s a reminder to us all that the power to change our lives comes from nourishing what he calls the ‘eternal nowness.’ Head to organifi.com to start nourishing your meat-suit, and use the code SHAMAN at checkout for 20% off your entire order.  Resources: Website: www.organifi.com Instagram: @drewcanole Facebook: www.facebook.com/drew.canole Poem by @lizzshaktilarouge Share your gifts with me: info@shamandurek.com  Advertisers + Sponsors: Shaman School: www.theshamanschool.com Lit Verified Store: www.shamandurek.com/store Hea

Jessica Zweig is the sun! Her soul shines from the inside out, her million-watt smile lights up the room — and she is seriously slaying the media industry with her premier personal branding company, SimplyBe. This power boss woman is the ultimate definition of LIT! The best part is that, after building some of the biggest brands in the world, she decided to spread her light force to the world and write her empowering book, “Be. - A No-Bullsh*t Guide to Increasing Your Self Worth and Net Worth by Simply Being Yourself.” It’s filled with golden nuggets to take your business strategy, life goals, and personal self-worth to the next level.  What I admire most about her is that she’s not afraid of her shadow. She delves into the darker experiences in her life with as much vigor and insight as to her positive anecdotes. Rising even higher when faced with sexism, mistrust, haters, and judgments, to just SimplyBe the woman she was born to be. I hope you walk away from this electrifying episode knowing you have the ke

Sahara Rose is an ancient soul with a millennial mission to help all beings embody their sacred purpose on this earth. She’s even worked her magic on me, nurturing the birth of this very podcast!

Finding your north isn't always smooth sailing. As multi-dimensional beings, Sahara and I have ridden the waves of pain and shame, and have been knocked down before rising like a phoenix. We’re giving you permission (not that you need it) to relinquish the labels thrust upon you and let your freak flag fly. You’ll always be part of the Lit tribe whoever you are!

I feel elated to present this tribe to the beautiful, bountiful being that is Nikki Moore. A wonderful First Amendment Lawyer and journalist, who is committed to protecting the rights and God-given freedoms of every being on this earth. Quantum thinkers and savvy game-changers like Nikki are helping create a new system from the inside, and that’s exactly what we need to facilitate real change in the 3D realm.  We share our thoughts on the assertion of feminine energies in male-dominated power structures, the fluidity of ‘moral truths’, and our spiritual mission to transform America’s troubled incarceration system–a topic very close to my heart.  When spiritual and political forces come together, societal healing is possible!  Resources: Twitter: @Nikki__Moore Advertisers + Sponsors: Shaman School: www.theshamanschool.com Lit Verified Store: www.shamandurek.com/store Healing Temple: www.shamandurek.com/healing-temple Learn more about your ad choices.
