Seekers and Finders Podcast

Seekers and Finders Podcast cohosts Gary Falk and Stefan Bright, talk to everyday spiritual seekers. Men and women who are still following a specific path or have left a path and have moved on to other paths, or are following their own inner guide to self discovery. In the early days of the Guru sensation, after the Beatles discovered Maharishi and Ram Das wrote his 1971 book "Be Here Now," there was a small movement to discover the inner truth that these men and women were presenting. The age of the guru-cult, with the likes of the Maharishi and Transcendental Meditation, Reverend Sun Myung Moon, the Hari Krishnas and such, opened up doors to self discovery. Our conversations, with those along the Way of the Seeker, hopefully will give new light on the rigorous path to enlightenment. The links below are other ways to join in the conversation.

  1. Martyn Webber - Satsang ● Nonduality ● Awakening - The Ground That Never Moved

    Martyn Webber - Satsang ● Nonduality ● Awakening - The Ground That Never Moved

    Send us Fan Mail Martyn Webber Satsang ● Nonduality ● Awakening The Ground That Never Moved Martyn Webber is a mystic, writer, and spiritual guide whose journey to awakening was anything but sudden. After decades of earnest seeking — twenty years of Transcendental Meditation, immersion in Buddhist practice, retreats and ashrams, and eventually a deep dive into Advaita Vedanta and self-inquiry — something finally gave way in early 2015. What emerged was not a peak experience but a permanent shift: a clear, stable recognition of awareness as the ground of all being. It is from that ground that Martyn now speaks, writes, and works with others. What distinguishes Martyn is the quality of his honesty. He doesn't traffic in spiritual performance or easy answers. His teaching draws on the nondual heart of both Eastern and Western mystical traditions — Ramana Maharshi and Nisargadatta alongside the Christian contemplatives — and his approach is disarmingly direct: strip away the complexity, rest as awareness, and see what remains. He also offers Shaktipat Transmission, a direct energetic support for awakening that he understands not as something passed from teacher to student, but as consciousness recognizing itself. In this conversation with Stefan Bright and Gary Falk on Seekers and Finders, Martyn brings that same quality of presence — warm, unguarded, and pointing always toward what is already here.

  2. Tawnya Gilbert - Psilocybin The Return To Wholeness

    Tawnya Gilbert - Psilocybin The Return To Wholeness

    Send us Fan Mail Tawnya Gilbert - Psilocybin The Return To Wholeness There are those who arrive at the threshold of healing not as theorists but as survivors — people who have walked through the fire of the system itself and emerged carrying something the system could not provide. Tawnya Gilbert is one of those rare voices. An ICU nurse for nearly two decades, she has stood at the bedside of the most fragile human moments, and yet it was her own fragility — buried beneath a decade of alcohol, ten prescribed medications, and a diagnosis of "stable" that meant only numbness — that ultimately became her greatest teacher. Her journey did not end with sobriety. It began there. What she discovered on the other side of the pharmaceuticals and the diagnoses was not a cure but a calling: that true healing requires a person to become the director of their own life, not a passive recipient of someone else's protocol. That conviction led her to postgraduate study in psychedelic integration, to the founding of Eleusinia retreat, and to a vision of medicine that places sovereignty back in the hands of the individual. In this conversation, Tawnya speaks to something that touches all sincere seekers — the moment when the outer structures of healing are exhausted and a deeper inquiry must begin. What does it mean to truly know your own body? What does it mean to stop outsourcing the most intimate dimensions of your life to a system that was never designed to honor them? Her answers are hard-won, and they carry the particular authority of someone who has not merely studied the territory but crossed it.

    Sasha - Waking up, all the way down to earth.

    Send us Fan Mail In this heart-centered conversation, we sit down with Sasha, co-founder of Hridaya Family Retreat Center, a small, family-run sanctuary tucked into the pine-covered mountains of southern Mexico. Far from the noise of modern retreat culture, Hridaya Family offers something increasingly rare — genuine presence, deep listening, and a space where each person is truly seen. Sasha shares the spirit behind their work: creating an intimate environment where spiritual practice is not performance, but lived experience. We explore what it means to hold retreat space as a family, how warmth and attention become forms of teaching, and why small, human-scaled communities may be essential for authentic inner transformation. This episode is a gentle reminder that awakening doesn’t always happen in grand halls or large gatherings — sometimes it unfolds quietly, in the mountains, in stillness, in the presence of those who care enough to truly be there. Whether you’re a long-time seeker or simply curious about heart-based spiritual practice, this conversation invites you into a softer, more personal path home to yourself. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Hridaya Family is a small, family-run retreat center nestled in the pine-covered mountains of southern Mexico, offering an intimate, caring environment where people are met with real attention, warmth, and presence.
