    Ep. 112: The Day Time Stopped - James Bolden

    James Bolden | Founder of Iris Cocreative, Creative Process Facilitator & Conscious Design Strategist What if your mind is not telling you the truth, but protecting the version of reality you have already outgrown? In this episode of the Awaken Your Purpose Podcast, Zenka Caro sits down with James Bolden, founder of Iris Cocreative, a creative process facilitator working with conscious businesses, purpose-driven organizations, and emerging communities around the world. James lives in the fertile in-between: design, philosophy, technology, evolution, consciousness, creativity, architecture, village building, flow, and intersubjective awareness. His work is about creating tools, systems, and design solutions that help communities see themselves, find each other, and build what wants to emerge. This conversation moves from conscious technology and community mapping into something much deeper: identity, death, time, purpose, and liberation. James shares how a near-death experience in 2012 changed his relationship with time, surrender, and what it means to be available to something larger than the self. Together, Zenka and James explore the mind’s strange little monarchy: how limiting narratives, inertia, and identity can masquerade as truth. They also explore the “we-space,” the intelligence between people, and what becomes possible when technology stops performing and starts serving connection. ✦ Holomovement Purpose Lab ✦ Stop guessing what you’re here to do.

    Ep. 111: The Biggest Lie in Self Help - Adham Chalabi

    Adham Chalabi | Master Coach, Researcher, Thought Leader, and Philosophy Nerd Turned Life Coach ✦ Holomovement Purpose Lab ✦ What if your purpose is not what feels good, but what tells the truth? In this episode of the Awaken Your Purpose Podcast, Sharon Clark sits down with Adham Chalabi, a philosophy nerd turned life coach who spent years in kitchens before learning how to help people sort out their minds instead of their menus. Adham is a master coach, researcher, and thought leader dedicated to uncovering the deeper structures of the human psyche, guiding people to set their hearts ablaze, push past their limits, and get honest enough to meet the person underneath the mask. This conversation goes straight for the nerve. Adham challenges the idea that purpose is simply about following your bliss. Instead, he points to the places we avoid: the burnout, the breakup, the disruption, the crack in the old self. According to Adham, purpose is the ultimate expression of who you are authentically, and sometimes the doorway is not pleasure. Sometimes it is discomfort with a flashlight. Together, Sharon and Adham explore truth, responsibility, skepticism, community, personality, procrastination, and the strange courage it takes to stop lying to yourself. This is not fluffy purpose talk. It is purpose with teeth, humor, shadow, chaos, order, and a very honest look at what happens when you finally decide to live from the real thing. ✦ Enter the Lab ✦ 📚 Browse the research, books, tools + resources: https://www.lightnet.org/labs/purpose 🔎 Search the archives: https://www.holomovement.net/awakenyourpurposepodcast 🧭 Take the quiz + find your stage: https://www.lightnet.org/purpose/quiz 📝 Found your purpose?

    Ep. 110: Stop Looking for Your Purpose - Rachel Astarte, LMFT

    Rachel Astarte, LMFT | Holistic Psychotherapist, Author, Educator, and Host of Self Talk with Rachel Astarte   ✦ Holomovement Purpose Lab ✦ What if your purpose is not something you chase, but something you remember? In this episode of the Awaken Your Purpose Podcast, Sharon Clark sits down with Rachel Astarte, holistic psychotherapist, transformational coach, author of Celebrating Solitude: How to Discover and Honor Your Highest Self, and host of Self Talk with Rachel Astarte. Rachel shares how her purpose began as a childhood knowing that she was here for a reason, then grew into a lifelong devotion to helping others understand what it means to be fully human and infinite at the same time. From staring into the endless sky as a child to learning how to make big spiritual ideas accessible, Rachel brings language to the strange, sacred terrain where personal healing meets collective evolution. This conversation explores purpose, intuition, ego, non-duality, grief, community, and the body’s inner knowing. Rachel speaks about the underdeveloped ego, the developed ego as a container for spirit, and why purpose is not always a career, achievement, or grand public mission. Sometimes it is rescuing dogs. Sometimes it is tending a garden. Sometimes it is being kind to a shopkeeper. Purpose may be less about becoming someone new and more about putting down the heavy bags and remembering who you already are.   ✦ Enter the Lab ✦ 📚 Browse the research, books, tools + resources: https://www.lightnet.org/labs/purpose 🔎 Search the archives: https://www.holomovement.net/awakenyourpurposepodcast 🧭 Take the quiz + find your stage: https://www.lightnet.org/purpose/quiz 📝 Found your purpose?

    Ep: 109: Purpose Is a Feeling, Not a Project - Dan Spinner

    Dan Spinner | Founder of Biofield Awareness, executive coach, author, and former CEO of the Deepak Chopra Foundation What if your purpose is not something you think your way into, but something your body already knows? In this episode of the Awaken Your Purpose Podcast, Zenka Caro speaks with Dan Spinner, founder of Biofield Awareness, executive and life coach, author, former CEO of the Deepak Chopra Foundation, and senior advisor to the Esalen Institute. Dan shares how his understanding of purpose began not as a career plan, but as a feeling. As a child, he found comfort, love, and support in trees, nature, and the living field around him. Later, through Zen, Aikido, meditation, coaching, and decades of work with organizations and leaders, he began to recognize that purpose was not only an idea. It was a somatic signal. A coherence. A quiet North Star in the body. ✦ Guest Links ✦ 🌐 Biofield Awareness: https://www.biofieldawareness.com/founder ✦ Holomovement Purpose Lab ✦ 🔎 Search the archives: https://www.holomovement.net/purpose 🧭 Take the quiz + find your stage: https://www.lightnet.org/purpose/quiz 📝 Found your purpose?

He describes how forcing, pushing, and ignoring the body’s wisdom leads to exhaustion, while surrendering into what is truly calling us can bring unexpected energy and renewal. Dan also speaks about Biofield Awareness, coherence, the energetic ripple effect of who we are, and why the tone of our being may matter even more than our words. He shares stories from childhood, his years studying Aikido, his work with nature, and his decision in his 70s to only follow what genuinely called him. This episode is a beautiful invitation to trust your own experience, listen beneath the noise, return to stillness, and discover purpose not as pressure, but as a living current. ✦ About Dan Spinner ✦ Dan Spinner is the founder of Biofield Awareness and an executive and life coach working with clients across three continents. He has served as a senior executive with universities, hospitals, and NGOs, helped raise more than $300 million for charities and businesses, and served as CEO of the Deepak Chopra Foundation and senior advisor to the Esalen Institute. His work bridges coaching, leadership, wellbeing, emotional intelligence, community building, and the emerging understanding of the biofield. Dan is a black belt in Aikido, a certified teacher in Light Body Meditation, and co-author of Wake Up Curious, the first book in the Wake Up Trilogy.

    Ep. 108 - What If We Stopped Playing Monopoly With the Future? - Kara Stonehouse

    Kara Stonehouse | Founder of Love Organized, graphic recorder, strategic facilitator, and visionary systems thinker What if the problem isn’t that humanity is failing at the game, but that we are playing by the wrong rules? In this episode of the Awaken Your Purpose Podcast, Zenka Caro speaks with Kara Stonehouse, creator of Love Organized, a bold vision for redesigning community, money, governance, and culture around care for the whole. Kara describes our current economic system as a giant game of Monopoly, one that ends the same way every time because the rules are built to concentrate wealth, reward extraction, and exhaust the people trying to build a better future. Her invitation is simple and radical: flip the board. Create a new game. Build systems where cooperation, regeneration, purpose, and care become the foundation. ✦ Guest Links ✦ 🌐 Love Organized: www.loveorganized.com 🎥 Kara’s TED Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ejjjeruh7hE ✦ Holomovement Purpose Lab ✦ 🔎 Search the archives: https://www.holomovement.net/purpose 🧭 Take the quiz + find your stage: https://www.lightnet.org/purpose/quiz 📝 Found your purpose?

How do we finance what matters? How do we support the people doing systems-change work before they burn out? How do we create economies where care, purpose, and contribution are valued? She also speaks about three major shifts: governance designed to care for the health of the whole, culture that helps people develop from the inside out, and money created through commitments to care for each other and the Earth. Kara’s own purpose emerged through visioning, community spaces, mentorship, and the moment someone reflected back the power of what she was carrying. Today, Love Organized is becoming her legacy project: a living invitation to build regenerative community pods, support conscious co-creators, and create new systems of care that can scale beyond the eco-village into cities, neighborhoods, and global networks. This is a conversation about courage, new economies, community, purpose, and the strange magic that happens when people stop asking permission to build the world they came here to create. ✦ About Kara Stonehouse ✦ Kara Stonehouse is an Evolutionary Leader, TEDx speaker, ceremonialist, poet, artist, and meshworker with The Hague Center for Global Governance, Innovation and Emergence. She brings experience in strategic leadership, facilitation, graphic recording, design thinking, and sustainability work across government and social impact projects.

Today, she contributes to World Unity Week and Peace Weekend, where she paints “ONE World” into form through live visual harvests. Inspired by her global study of eco-villages, Kara created Love Organized to help people and organizations move from systems of separation into new models of care, unity, and life-centered collaboration. She is Canadian and now lives in France with her husband and two children. ✦ Time Codes ✦ 00:00 Introduction to Kara Stonehouse and Love Organized 01:18 Making the invisible visible 01:52 Why the current system needs a root-level shift 02:20 The Monopoly metaphor and flipping the board 03:41 Three shifts: governance, culture, and money 05:53 Purpose-led culture and redefining education 06:28 What if money was created through care? 08:28 How Kara discovered Love Organized as her purpose 09:30 The role of mentorship and being seen 11:08 Why systems-change leaders are burning out 12:00 Creating a regenerative economy of support 13:29 Why many people do not follow their passion 14:20 Community pods for purpose and belonging 15:10 Courage and the field of possibility 16:03 The ripple effect of living your purpose 17:19 Following the tingle and what brings you alive 19:03 A world where care work is valued 19:55 A brand new game of love ✦ ✦ ✦ Thank you for joining us today.

    Connie Baxter Marlow | Author, Filmmaker, Futurist, and Co-Creator of The Trust Frequency What if trust is not a nice idea, but a frequency? In this episode of the Awaken Your Purpose Podcast, Zenka Caro sits down with Connie Baxter Marlow, author, filmmaker, photographer, futurist, and co-author of The Trust Frequency: Ten Assumptions for a New Paradigm. Connie shares the story of receiving the name “Eagle Woman” and the instruction to fly high and report back what she sees. From her early questions about the missing pieces in our worldview to her decades of learning from visionary Native American elders, Connie offers a fierce and tender vision of humanity’s next leap: moving from fear, possession, and separation into trust, abundance, self-love, and peace on Earth. This conversation explores indigenous cosmology, quantum science, the holographic universe, destiny paths, shadow work, purpose, and what happens when we stop trying to survive inside an old paradigm and begin walking in absolute trust. ✦ ✦ ✦ Holomovement Purpose Lab 🔎 Search the archives: Https://www.holomovement.net/purpose 🧭 Take the quiz + find your stage: https://www.lightnet.org/purpose/quiz 📝 Found your purpose?

    Ep. 106: Are We Wise Yet? The Rise of the Holo Sapiens - Andrew Cameron Bailey

    Andrew Cameron Bailey | Filmmaker, Author of The Trust Frequency, and Holo Sapians: Conscious Evolution in Action What if the next step in human evolution is not becoming smarter, but becoming kinder? In this episode of the Awaken Your Purpose Podcast, Zenka Caro sits down with filmmaker, author, and evolutionary thinker Andrew Cameron Bailey to explore what happens when purpose stops being something we chase and starts becoming something that chases us. From discovering Zen Buddhism as a teenager in South Africa, to the early human potential movement at Esalen, to founding the Sananda Foundation and later co-authoring The Trust Frequency with Connie Baxter Marlow, Andrew traces the winding river of a life shaped by consciousness, inquiry, and service. The conversation moves into his new book, HOLO SAPIENS: Conscious Evolution in Action, which asks whether humanity has truly become wise yet, and what it would mean to consciously choose a more evolved way of being. Andrew shares why kindness, integrity, sincerity, and coherence may be the real markers of our next evolutionary step, why wisdom without love is incomplete, and the three simple practices he offers anyone seeking their purpose: sit, breathe, remember. ✦ Holomovement Purpose Lab ✦ Search the archives: https://www.holomovement.net/purpose Take the quiz + find your stage: https://www.lightnet.org/purpose/quiz Found your purpose?

    Ep. 105: Stop Dimming Your Light - Diana MaAra Divine

    Diana MaAra Divine | Soul Guide, Galactic Shaman, Author, and Founder of BeLight Quantum Academy What if the life you’re living is only 70% of who you really are? In this episode, Susan Platinsky sits down with Diana MaAra Divine, a Soul Guide, Galactic Shaman, Quantum Educator, author, oracle deck creator, and founder of BeLight Quantum Academy. Together, they explore purpose, joy, quantum creation, energetic sovereignty, light language, and what it means to stop dimming your light and finally come online as who you really are. Diana shares how her awakening began more than 20 years ago and how her path unfolded through shamanic initiation, plant medicine, past-life remembrance, quantum healing, and a lifelong desire to help others reclaim their inner wisdom. She also opens up about living two parallel lives, one in the corporate world and one in spiritual teaching, until her book, Mastering Quantum Creation: Awaken the Phoenix Within, Manifest Your Reality and Reclaim Your Cosmic Power, helped her step more fully into her purpose. This conversation moves from practical guidance, like “follow the joy,” to deeper questions about soul memory, light language, coherence, resistance, conscious creation, and the kind of world we could build if more people lived from purpose instead of fear. ✦ Holomovement Purpose Lab ✦  Search the archives: https://www.holomovement.net/purpose  Take the quiz + find your stage: https://www.lightnet.org/purpose/quiz  Found your purpose?
