    When Healing Becomes Inherited: Brady's Journey

    In this episode Brady opens up about one of the most defining experiences of his life, witnessing his father’s descent into opiate addiction after a devastating car accident that nearly cost him his life. What began as a fight for survival turned into years of chronic pain, dependency, and emotional distance. Brady shares what it’s like to watch someone you love struggle with pain and addiction while feeling completely powerless to help. In search of relief, Brady’s father attended Eleusinia retreat focused on alternative pain management and healing. When he returned home, he encouraged Brady to go as well—an invitation that would ultimately change Brady’s life, career, and relationship with his father forever. Brady reflects on how this experience reshaped his understanding of pain, healing, and leadership, and how it redirected his path in the mindset and fitness industry. This episode explores generational trauma, the limits of control, and how confronting pain can become a catalyst for profound personal growth.

    From Market Mind to Inner Stillness: Sanjay's Return to Self

    For fifteen years, Sanjay lived inside the fast-paced world of London’s financial trading, a high-performance identity built on precision, pressure, and emotional rationalization. In this episode, he reflects on how his career quietly shaped his sense of self, his emotional landscape, and the ways he learned to intellectualize rather than feel. After previous psychedelic experiences in more confined, unsupported environments, Sanjay arrives at Eleusinia and encounters something profoundly different, a setting rooted in safety, spaciousness, and intentional care. Through this contrast, he explores how environment, support, and community transform not only the experience itself, but the depth of integration that follows. What emerges is a powerful shift: from striving to stillness, from identity to essence, from noise to peace. Sanjay shares how his perception of self has softened, how his inner world has become quieter, and how he now accesses a deeper, more stable sense of presence. Not through performance, but through peace.

    Meeting Grief One Year Later: Jason's Journey

    We dedicate this episode to the loving memory of Marcus April 1974-Dec 2024. In this deeply moving episode, we sit with Jason, a 55-year-old retiree who arrived at Eleusinia carrying a year marked by unimaginable loss. Within one year, Jason lost his mother, then his father, and shortly after, the love of his life, his husband, Marcus. When Jason concluded his Eleusinia retreat, it was on the one-year anniversary of Marcus’s death. What unfolds is an honest reflection on grief, surrender, and the unexpected intelligence of inner healing. Jason shares how the experience gently, and at times overwhelmingly, asked him to trust and release what was arising, to soften his resistance, and to release far more grief than he thought he was capable of holding. This episode is a testament to love that endures beyond loss, to the courage it takes to remain open and alive after heartbreak, and to the quiet transformation that can occur when we stop bracing and allow ourselves to feel. Jason’s story will resonate with anyone navigating bereavement, transition, or the long work of learning how to live again after life has fundamentally changed.
