    E34 | Azra Bertrand | Our Bodies Are Biomantic: On the Magic, Mystery, & Medicine of Being Alive
    Apr 27 2025
    ...“Our body is made of magic, with incredible powers of regenerative healing and intuitive wisdom.”— Azra Bertrand..A YEAR TO LIVETICKETS TO RISE & REVITALIZEHEARTHWOVEN SUBSTACK..Azra begins by sharing about his time alone in the Alaskan wilderness as a young man—how it awakened his primal senses and reshaped his path, connecting him to Earth and to his deep self in profound ways. We explore the long integration of those initiatory experiences, including the challenges of navigating medical school and academia while holding a worldview that often felt at odds with the mainstream.Through this crucible, Azra’s understanding of life and healing began to crystallize into what he now calls biomancy—a relational, reverent way of engaging with the intelligence of biology. Rather than “hacking” the body, he invites us to romance it, to court it as we might a river or a mountain. We speak of the body as a womb of living magic, rooted in bio-quantum processes and capable of astonishing healing and transformation.Azra shares stories from his clinical experience and reflects on the difference between domination-based approaches to healing and those grounded in slowness, humility, and connection. We explore individuation, ancestral healing, and the imaginal realm as core to true medicine—realms where image shapes reality, and where magic arises from reciprocal relationship.Find Thematic Show Notes HereConnect with Azra:WebsiteInstagramConnect with WHR:WHR WebsiteCoyotei Counsel WebsiteWHR/Coyotei NewsletterWHR InstagramCoyotei Counsel InstagramTei’s InstagramEmail - whr.link@gmail.com

    E33 | Toko-pa Turner | Dreaming with Earth: On Courtship, Shadow, & the Imaginal Realm
    Apr 22 2025
    ...“Without dreams we could not survive, and although it is possible to get by without remembering our dreams, a life guided and shaped by dreaming is a life that follows the innate knowing of the Earth itself.”— Toko-pa Turner..A YEAR TO LIVETICKETS TO RISE & REVITALIZEHEARTHWOVEN SUBSTACK..Toko-pa opens a doorway into the deep imaginal world, reminding us that dreams are not mere fragments of the thinking mind, but mysterious and meaningful expressions of Nature herself. In this conversation, Toko-pa invites us to remember the ancestral art of dreaming—an embodied, reciprocal practice that has long guided the human spirit.Together, we explore what it means to live a dream-led life in a culture that prizes the measurable and dismisses the mystical. Toko-pa shares powerful insights on the loss—and return—of Sophia, the archetype of embodied wisdom, and how reweaving a relationship with the dreaming world can help us recover the parts of ourselves exiled by modernity.From the forgotten art of daydreaming to the radical courage it takes to step into the unknown, this episode moves through symbol, shadow, and silence with reverence. Toko-pa reminds us that the dreamworld is not something we own or interpret for gain, but a living realm we are meant to court with wonder, humility, and love.Find Thematic Show Notes HereConnect with Toko-pa:WebsiteInstagramBelonging BookThe Dreaming WayConnect with WHR:WHR WebsiteCoyotei Counsel WebsiteWHR/Coyotei NewsletterWHR InstagramCoyotei Counsel InstagramTei’s InstagramEmail - whr.link@gmail.com

    E32 | Nadia Ramo | Listening to the Living World: Plants, Perception, & the Heart of Healing
    Apr 18 2025
    ...“For me, the practice is to just sit and have council with the Earth.”— Nadia Ramo..TICKETS TO RISE & REVITALIZEA YEAR TO LIVEHEARTHWOVEN SUBSTACK..Nadia Ramo invites us into the living ecosystem of her healing arts practice—one rooted in reciprocity, embodied listening, and a sincere relationship with the more-than-human world. Through her words, a vision of health emerges that is not merely the absence of illness, but a process of realignment with the deeper intelligence of Nature.We explore Nadia’s healing philosophy, including her unique weaving of Indigenous and Chinese medicine traditions, and how she draws insight from the meta-patterns of the natural world. She shares her personal journey of navigating serious health diagnoses, choosing to side-step the dominant biomedical model and instead listen more deeply—to her intuition, her body, and the Earth.Together, we examine the language of symptoms, the medicine of perception, and the sacrifices often asked of us when turning toward the wildness of the living world. Through stories and potent reflections, Nadia speaks to the magic of healing as a relational act—one grounded in reverence, courage, and deep communication with the plant nations of Earth.Find Thematic Show Notes HereConnect with Nadia:WebsiteInstagramConnect with WHR:WHR WebsiteCoyotei Counsel WebsiteWHR/Coyotei NewsletterWHR InstagramCoyotei Counsel InstagramTei’s InstagramEmail - whr.link@gmail.com

    E31 | Wahinkpe Topa | From Rock to Wind: Kinship, Courage & Living with Heart
    Apr 13 2025
    ...“What we’re looking at here is a way of being on this planet, in this universe, that recognizes our deep interconnectedness with everything in nature and gives respect to the sentience of everything, from a rock to an ant to the wind.”— Wahinkpe Topa..A YEAR TO LIVERISE & REVITALIZEHEARTHWOVEN SUBSTACK..Wahinkpe Topa invites us into a way of being that is rooted in kinship, reverence, and the recognition of the living intelligence of all things. Drawing from personal experience, Indigenous wisdom, and years of healing work—including hypnosis, regression therapy, and ceremony—he illuminates both the spiritual and practical dimensions of restoring our relationship with Earth and Spirit.We explore his near-death experience and what it revealed about the nature of spirit and embodiment, as well as his groundbreaking work with hypnotic communication in life-saving situations. Along the way, Wahinkpe Topa contrasts Indigenous and dominant worldviews, offering reflections on reincarnation, self-hypnosis, and the role of fear as a transformative ally.At the heart of this episode is a call to reclaim a kinship-based identity—one that recognizes the sacredness and sentience of the rock, the ant, the wind—and moves through the world with love, humility, and courage. Wahinkpe Topa shares stories that embody this worldview, including his time at Standing Rock and a powerful framework (CAT-FAWN) for living with integrity in troubled times.We close with a timely invocation to redefine hope—not as the guarantee of an outcome, but as devotion to right action in service of Life.Find Thematic Show Notes HereConnect with Wahinkpe Topa:WebsiteWorldview LiteracyConnect with WHR:WHR WebsiteCoyotei Counsel WebsiteWHR/Coyotei NewsletterWHR InstagramCoyotei Counsel InstagramTei’s InstagramEmail - whr.link@gmail.com

    ...


    “As I reflect on this past year, I’m struck by the gifts that have emerged—not only through conversations with remarkable guests, but also in the quieter, more intimate corners of my own heart. It’s been a year of deep remembering—of stretching into new territories of thought, feeling, and connection, and of surrendering to the questions.”

  • E30 | Jordi Lydia | A Radical Remedy: Reclaiming Evolution in Communion with Life

    E30 | Jordi Lydia | A Radical Remedy: Reclaiming Evolution in Communion with Life
    Mar 12 2025

    ...


    “Reclaiming evolution is a submission to Life, a submission to the will that is greater than our own.”


    — Jordi Lydia


    .

    .


    In this conversation with Jordi, we explore reclaiming evolution—not as a march of linear ‘progress’ towards ‘perfection’, but as a revitalizing of deep-time presence and an embodied relationship with Life’s intelligence. She invites us into the vitality of unlearning, surrendering to a will greater than our own, and metabolizing grief in ways that nourish renewal.


    We discuss the influence of media and technology on perception, the responsibility of consuming and creating with awareness, and the role of life-centric leadership in a time of change and trouble. Through Jordi’s lens, reclaiming evolution is both personal and collective—calling us to immerse in the elements, cultivate real human connection, and remember the creative brilliance within us.


    Jordi also shares the inspiration behind creating Reclaiming Evolution, an immersive festival designed to foster deep connection and community through experiential workshops and artistry.


    In the second half of the episode, Jordi flips the mic and interviews me for her festival’s companion podcast, continuing the conversation on communion, creativity, community, and the wild, heartfelt path that may lead us toward a more rooted, reverent, and regenerative future as we reclaim evolution together.

    E29 | Joe Brewer | Regenerating Earth: Collapse, Complexity, Economics, & Education
    Feb 26 2025
    ...“We need to restore Earth systems patterns and relationships through bioregional organizing.”— Joe Brewer..2 for 1 TICKETS TO DANCING WITH DARKNESS..Together with Joe, we explore the true meaning of collapse—not as an apocalyptic endpoint but as a transformation of stability, a shift in patterns. Joe invites us to move beyond fear and recognize that everyone alive today was born into an ongoing collapse. We discuss the planetary boundary tipping points already crossed, the unraveling of human social systems, and the urgent need for regenerative pathways so that humanity and countless other species may continue to share life on this beautiful blue planet.Drawing from his book, The Design Pathway for Regenerating Earth, Joe shares how bioregional organizing, regenerative economies, and living system principles can guide us toward renewal. Through a deep ecological lens, we rediscover our ancestral roots, the essential role of healthy hydrological cycles, and the power of regenerative education to mend our relationships—with ourselves, each other, and Earth as our living home.This episode is an invitation to shift from apathy and despair to heartfelt and life-centric action—to restore our bioregions, reimagine economics and education through an ecological lens, and reclaim the radical responsibility of regenerating Earth.Find Thematic Show Notes HereConnect with Joe:Design School2025 Learning JourneyBookLinkedInFacebookTwitterBlueskyConnect with WHR:WHR WebsiteCoyotei Counsel WebsiteWHR/Coyotei NewsletterWHR InstagramCoyotei Counsel InstagramTei’s InstagramEmail - whr.link@gmail.com

    This episode explores the heart of masculine wildness, the intelligence of the feminine, and the sacred dance between integrity and flow. Samuel shares his personal journey of re-wilding, embracing his femininity as a pathway to authentic masculinity. Together, we examine the immense challenges and opportunities men face in this era, touching on themes of freedom, responsibility, and the healing power of connection.


    Through thoughtful reflections, Samuel illuminates the importance of listening deeply, honouring Earth’s rhythms, and reimagining responsibility as care for what we value. His words remind us that life is a wandering journey, and our wildness is deeply intertwined with the natural world’s squiggly, mysterious beauty.


    This conversation offers a call to honour the seasons of life—particularly the wisdom of Winter—and to let go of what no longer serves so that we may grow into renewal.
