Originally trained in motion pictures and television, Dimitri was pursuing a promising career in directing and producing, having received an Academy Award nomination for his film short Don’t Let It Bother You. When he was twenty-five, Dimitri had a profound spiritual awakening that changed his life. About a year later, he met his co-founder Barbara Martin at a dinner party and knew that night Barbara was the spiritual teacher he had to study with.
With Barbara, he is co-author of the international bestseller Change Your Aura, Change Your Life, Communing with the Divine, Karma and Reincarnation, The Healing Power of Your Aura and their newest book Heaven and Your Spiritual Evolution, the subject of this week’s conversation.

RJ Spina is a metaphysical teacher, author and speaker. In 2016, he became permanently paralyzed from the chest down requiring emergency life-saving surgery. He was simultaneously diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, hypothyroidism, autoimmune disease, and autonomic dysreflexia.
After being told he would be unlikely he walk again, he spent 100 days in hospital following a self-led series of meditation and visualization practices that healed his body in remarkable time. In his new book - Super Charged Self-Healing - he shares what he did and how the same process is helping thousands more overcome chronic conditions.

Time is something that none of us can escape, yet few of us completely understand.

This state of “focused perception” is the key to manipulating our construct of time.

Jeremy Narby, PhD is an anthropologist and best-selling author of The Cosmic Serpent as well as a co-author of Plant Teachers with indigenous elder Rafael Chanchari Pizuri. He became an early pioneer of ayahuasca research while living with the Ashaninca people of the Peruvian Amazon in the 1980s. He studied anthropology at Stanford University and now lives in Switzerland.
In Plant Teachers, Jeremy and Rafael co-explore indigenous and scientific perspectives on both ayahuasca and tobacco and their ceremonial and medicinal usage. In Plant Teachers, Jeremy and Rafael hold a cross-cultural dialogue that explores the similarities between ayahuasca and tobacco, the role of these plants in indigenous cultures, and the hidden truths they reveal about nature. Juxtaposing and synthesizing two worldviews, Plant Teachers invites readers on a wide-ranging journey through anthropology, botany, and biochemistry, while raising tantalizing questions about the relationship between science and other ways of knowing.
