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

    FEB 4

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

    Send us a text 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.

She leads retreats and sacred journeys, teaching healing modalities that catalyze personal transformation. Flo has created four major healing systems: Soul RecognitionSM, an ancient shamanic journey aligning the soul’s purpose and patterning consciously into the body and life; Circuitry AlignmentSM, unifying the original blueprint within the cells and systems of the body; HeartThreadSM, connecting unconscious patterning held in the body with cognitive understanding, resolving long-standing challenges in health and wellbeing; and The Accelerated Thinking ProcessSM, mapping the left and right brain to reveal where and how we get “stuck” and “free” in our lives through balancing our brain, an effective tool for those with learning challenges, ADD, phobias, and trauma.

Ultimately, it's a story of the Divine Feminine rising to restore balance, heal collective wounds, and remind us that divinity lives within us all.
