Tangible Changemakers® Podcast by Meraki Tribe Collective Lois Duncan | Will Bombardier

In this episode, Lois and Will welcome national best-selling author Kute Blackson for an inspiring conversation about his newest book, The Magic of Surrender, a life-changing book that teaches you how to harness the power of surrender to live your highest purpose. Blackson draws on his own experiences, as well as insights from spiritual leaders and everyday people, to illustrate the power of surrender in all aspects of life, including relationships, career, and personal growth. His book encourages readers to let go of their fears and limitations and surrender to the unknown, in order to unlock their full potential and achieve their dreams.

So often we think of surrender as giving up or giving in, as weakness, but what if surrender was the key to letting go of our unrealistic expectations about our lives and embracing what is showing up in the present moment. What if we used surrender as a tool to let go of the need to control life and manipulate outcomes, and to simply find the beauty and joy in our current life circumstances? Getting to the next level of life requires surrender - a letting go of the illusion that we are in control, letting go of forcing and manipulating life in to the limited version of how we think it should be. The more we are willing to surrender the more magic we can invite into our lives. Surrender, according to Blackson, is the password to freedom. Blackson shares poignant stories from his life to illustrate the power of surrender along with powerful action steps to lean in to surrender from forgiveness to innocence. If you are serious about leveling up in life, this is a podcast you won't want to miss.

Long before the advent of "modern medicine" indigenous tribes all over the world have been using "medicines" extracted from plants and animals in nature for thousands of years, yet somehow in our modern society we deem indigenous or natural medicines as alternative or unproven therapies when they were indeed the original medicines. In this episode, Lois and Will, along with special guest and Kambo practitioner Donell Wicklund, take on the topic of Kambo, which is a traditional Amazonian medicine that has been used for thousands of years for medicinal and spiritual purposes by indigenous tribes in the Amazon rainforest, primarily in Brazil, Peru, and Colombia.

Kambo is made from the secretion of the giant monkey frog (Phyllomedusa bicolor) and is applied to the skin through small burns made by a healer. Kambo is claimed to have various benefits, such as reducing pain, improving immunity, and treating a wide range of physical and psychological conditions. In recent years, the use of Kambo has spread outside of indigenous communities and gained popularity in the West as an alternative medicine and spiritual practice. The use of Kambo is traditionally associated with hunting and is believed to provide increased strength, stamina, and sensory perception. It is also used for medicinal purposes to treat a variety of ailments, such as autoimmune disease, infections, inflammation, and pain. In addition, Kambo is used in spiritual ceremonies and is believed to help cleanse the body and promote spiritual growth. 

Lois attributes Kambo as one of the primary components of her profound (and medically documented) healing from a 15+ year battle diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus when western medicine failed her. She is now going on 7 years pharmaceutical drugs and symptom free. They discuss the safety and effectiveness of this incredible medicine (which its legal in the United States) and best practices for finding a knowledgable practitioner, along with ways to ensure a safe and productive experience. 

Kambo contains a number of bioactive peptides, which are small chains of amino acids that can have various effects on the body. Some of the peptides in Kambo are known to have analgesic (pain-relieving), anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. Donell brings a unique scientific approach to working with this medicine so that we can continue to understand how the bioactive peptides contained in Kambo work. Overall, the exact mechanisms by which these bioactive peptides in Kambo work are not well understood, and more research is needed to fully understand their effects on the body.

Have you sat with Kambo? We'd love you hear about your experience. 

MEET DONELL WICKLUND: 

Donell has spent most of her adult life exploring health, physiology, and functional medicine is dedicated to understanding how the human can function more optimally through exploring practices, tools and natural healing resources. She is incredibly knowledgable in the area of psychedelics, psychology and human performance. Donell can be reached at 561-699-0132.

In this episode, Will and Lois discuss the nature of duality and what is consciousness. The nature of existence in this 3d realm is duality - as in we all have the capacity for good or evil, light and dark, Ying and Yang. Life exists in a spectrum and learning to navigate the duality is what this human experience is all about. So many in spiritual communities are seeking to transcend the human experience instead of embracing the totality of it. We get to choose how we show up in the world, the impact we have, and the legacy we leave through the choices we make. This discussion is a call to action and deep contemplation on some higher-level concepts meant to get you thinking about your contribution to creating positive change. We'd love to hear your thoughts on this subject.

In this episode, Will, Lois, and special guest Anastasia Menachem discuss what it means to hold space and create SACRED space in ceremony and in life. Ceremony isn’t the only time you are supposed to carry yourself in a sacred way it is supposed to remind you that YOU are sacred and to carry yourself that way every day. Many of us have forgotten what it means to hold things sacred and this podcast is meant as a reminder to bring back the sacred. From our connection with Mother Earth to our connection with self, ceremony brings us back into right relationship. Through circle and ceremony the sacred can be known.

They share stories and experiences from life and ceremony, plus practices that have allowed them to translate sacredness into everyday life. 

MEET ANASTASIA: Anastasia is an incredibly talented artist and medicine woman walking the Red Road and sacredness flows through her every breath. She can be found on Meraki Tribe Collective. (You will want to check out her art!! It’s Ahhhhhmamaaazziing!!)

SENSITIVE TOPIC WARNING: This episode briefly discusses rape and sexuality. 

In this episode, Will and Lois along with special guests Christy LeCuyer and Anastasia Mencham are holding nothing back. We said we were going to take on some spicy topics and dive into some uncomfortable conversations that gets to be had and this is one of them we see as problematic in the healing and medicine communities and that's the sudden rise in "Popup Shamans" as we call them. By Popup Shamans we mean the ones that sit in one medicine ceremony or have one mystical experience or decide Shamanism is cool and suddenly decide they've found their new career - with no lineage, no mentor, nor proper initiation or apprenticeship, or even a true understanding of what shamanism is  - they start holding ceremony and taking on clients. It's dangerous and is something that happening far too often leaving a swath of walking wounded in their wake. They share from their personal experience and give listeners valuable tips on what to look out for and how to protect yourself in ceremonial/medicine space - especially if sexuality  is being introduced into a "healing space" under the guise of tantra or sacred sexuality. 

You can't just call yourself a shaman. It doesn't work like that.  The path of shamanism is a sacred one and it carries with it great power and great responsibility. It is a path of deep initiation. One just does not decide to be a shaman or will it so. It is a calling.
