    Grandfather Iboga Ancient Healing Plant Medicine

    Today on Sense of Soul, I’m excited to welcome back Dr. Sharnael, an accomplished author of six books, educator, entrepreneur, conference host, and international researcher and speaker. For decades, Dr. Sharnael has dedicated her work to bridging the worlds of science and spirituality, ancient wisdom and emerging research, and the connection between the physical body, consciousness, and our innate potential for healing and transformation. Her work explores a wide range of fascinating subjects, including consciousness, epigenetics, quantum health, frequency, the biofield, essential oils, nutrition, conscious language, dreams and visions, detoxification, abundance, and the science of the human body. Among her published works are The Science of Miracles: Re-Membering the Frequency of Love and Keto Reset: 31 Days to New Life, along with her Crystals, Oils and Decrees Card Deck. In this episode, we explore an extraordinary new chapter in Dr. Sharnael’s journey—one that began with a personal experience with the plant medicine Iboga and evolved into a deeper calling to explore its history, traditional uses, and emerging scientific research. This transformative experience inspired her latest work, GrandFather Iboga: Exploring the Factory Reset of Trauma, Addiction, Grief, Neuroplasticity & the Human Experience Through Plant Medicine. Together, we dive into the fascinating and complex world of Iboga and Ibogaine, exploring their relationship to consciousness, neuroplasticity, trauma, addiction, grief, and the human experience. We also discuss the importance of preparation, integration, safety, and the responsibility that comes with exploring powerful plant medicines. Today, Dr. Sharnael continues to expand her work through education surrounding Iboga and Ibogaine, helping others better understand these substances, navigate treatment considerations, and approach their experiences with greater awareness and discernment. With a deep respect for both ancient traditions and modern research, she approaches this evolving field as both an educator and a lifelong student, emphasizing humility, responsibility, and informed conversation. Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that bridges ancient plant wisdom, emerging science, spirituality, and the mysteries of human consciousness.

    Haunted History with Paranormal Investigator Dr. Kate Cherrell

    Happy Halloween! Today on Sense of Soul we have Dr Kate Cherrell, she is a writer and broadcaster specialising in paranormal history, 19th-century Spiritualism and British folklore. She is the author of the gothic novel Begotten (2025) and a forthcoming work of non-fiction, Buried England (2026). She writes commercially on supernatural history and has worked with museum and cemetery trusts nationwide. As a paranormal historian, she has co-hosted Haunted Homecoming with Jack Osbourne and Jonathan Ross, Unexplained: Caught on Camera, The Yorkshire Exorcist II and has provided historical expertise on Paranormal: Britain’s Last Witch, Weird Britain and Spectre or Spectacle. She received the GPN Top Investigator award in May 2025 for her work in paranormal investigation. She has blogged under the name Burials and Beyond since 2017 and – when not exploring cemeteries or haunted locations – she can usually be found in some dark, dusty corner with a big glass of wine and a good book. She is the author of ‘Begotten’ a neo-Victorian novel set in the fictional county of Duncain, spiritualism impacts an Anglo-Irish family. Following the death of her father, Alice Crofton returns to her family's crumbling house, believing she will settle the estate and leave. But nothing in Duncain ever truly leaves. In her absence, spiritualism has gripped the rural county and charismatic mediums have encroached into the household, setting their sights on Alice's family - and her inheritance. Alice tries to hold on to her family and her sanity as hysteria and hauntings take over all she once knew. Written in gothic and ghost story traditions, Begotten's dark - and sometimes humorous - narrative raises questions about the trustworthiness of one's senses and the very nature of ghosts. https://katecherrell.com https://burialsandbeyond.com https://www.facebook.com/burialsandbeyond/ www.instagram.com/burialsandbeyond www.twitter.com/burialsbeyond Book Link: https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/roundfire-books/our-books/begotten-gothic-novel Visit: www.senseofsoulpodcast.com

    Mary the First Alchemist

    Today on Sense of Soul podcast we have Dr. Jenny Martin, she is a psychologist, sexuality educator, and visionary guide at the intersection of sex, science, and spirituality. She is also the host of “Why Didn’t I Know”, a podcast about sex and spirituality.   In this illuminating conversation, she introduces us to the ancient wisdom of Mary the Prophetess—also known as Mary the Jewess and, in some traditions, Mary Magdalene—recognized as the first alchemist of the 1st century. Her teachings, preserved through the Greek Philosopher Zosimos in the 3rd century, they reveal a profound lineage of sexual alchemy that has long been hidden from mainstream narratives. Dr. Jenny shares her groundbreaking work on the Psychedelic Cervix Model, a transformative approach to female pleasure rooted in the unique genital-brain connection. She explains how, through lovemaking or childbirth, women can naturally activate psychedelic states of consciousness—unlocking mystical experiences that have both scientific and spiritual foundations. In this episode we explore the forgotten legacy of Mary the Prophetess and her alchemical teachings. The science behind sexual pleasure as a gateway to expanded consciousness. How the cervix plays a central role in mystical experiences and healing and its impact on women and their partners. Reclaiming ancient feminine wisdom for modern transformation. This is a sacred invitation to reimagine pleasure, healing, and spiritual awakening through the lens of ancient alchemy and embodied science.
