Ep 69 - Xavier Dagba | Shadow Work & Reclaiming the Heart
Xavier is a trauma-informed transformational life coach, shadow work facilitator, intuitive healer and EFT practitioner.
He loves to think of himself as an emotional alchemist. It is his firm belief that personal freedom can only be achieved when we allow ourselves to welcome the wisdom hidden within every emotional state, good or “bad”.
Xavier's own transformational journey brought him to dive into the universe of shadow work and he tends to think that only when you are willing to integrate your shadows, can you fully claim your power.
He feels alive the most when he helps people shed their limitations, heal, claim their power, live a life of purpose and tap into their full potential.

Ep 66 - Jaguar Heart | Being a High Value Man in a Dysfunctional Society
Our first ever guest Jaguar Heart returns.
Jaguar is a therapist specialising in sexual trauma and removing subconscious limitations.
In this episode we engage in a dialogue about what it means to be a high value man. We dissect the new age distortions around relationships and extreme versions of polarity teachings. We also break down the importance of rationality and how it is so desperately missing in our society as we look at the growing disregard for the facts of reality through ‘woke culture.’

Chris’s belief in the healing powers of Qigong is rooted in first-hand experience. Growing up in a dysfunctional home, as a teenager he suffered a devastating back injury, which seemed like a tragedy at the time but turned out to be a blessing because that is what brought him to Qigong.

Ralph Ellis returns!
We recommend first watching Episode 49 with Ralph Ellis before venturing down this rabbit-hole. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFn1LlzoMYw&t=4207s
Ralph Ellis has been researching biblical and Egyptian history for more than 40 years. Being independent from theological and educational establishments allows Ralph to tread where others do not dare, and it is through this independence that Ralph has discovered so many new biblical and historical truths.
In this episode Ralph presents his findings regarding whether the biblical Adam and Eve really did exist in history and if so, who were they?
We end with a roundtable discussion on the effects of cancel culture past and present.

Filmmaker and musician Ben Joseph Stewart has a style for the conscious community. Before his touring rock group Hierosonic disbanded, Ben had already launched his third full-length documentary with global viral attention. His feature documentary Kymatica won Best Scientific Film at the 2009 New York Independent Film Festival. After producing the Psychedelica and Limitless series at Gaia, Ben went on to produce The Magic Plant film on cannabis and hemp which has been picked up by Gravitas. The viral internet film DMT Quest launched shortly after and was shared by Joe Rogan, Graham Hancock, Alex Gray, and The Beckley Institute. Ben then launched Aubrey Marcus’s Awake in the Darkness film which is slated to hit the 2022 film festival market.
In this episode we have an exploratory discussion about the nature of conspiracy, human potential, magic, technology, and what the future might hold.
