    Tara Stonemother | Following the Sparks of “Yes” | Sacred Sundays

    Read the full show notes and transcript:https://www.rosstayler.com/sacred-sundays-tara-stonemother What if the displacement and emptiness you feel is not a problem to solve, but an invitation to remember who you actually are? In this conversation with Tara Stonemother, shamanic seer, medicine carrier, and sacred servant to her global community, we trace a path that began in kindergarten, where other children simply came to sit beside her, and has led to carrying bufo, cambo, hape, mushroom medicine, and working intimately with ayahuasca across the globe. Tara shares the story of a yogurt shop in Walla Walla that cracked open a door she had been quietly holding shut, and what happened when she finally stopped announcing that she was not a real psychic and simply allowed what wanted to come through to come through. Our conversation moves through the ego as a survival structure that has been in the driver’s seat far too long, the Renaissance of plant medicines as the earth’s response to a humanity that has drifted from itself, and what it means to walk between worlds without losing orientation. Tara speaks to the difference between chasing external things that leave you emptier and following the integral sparks of yes, those quiet inner nudges that light up not what the ego wants but what the soul is calling toward. This episode is for anyone who has felt lost, displaced, or quietly certain that something is missing. Follow the sparks of yes.Sit quietly and go inside for just one moment.Where am I? Who am I? Why am I here?

    Mark Lewis | When Spirit Says It’s Time | Sacred Sundays

    Read the full show notes and transcript:https://www.rosstayler.com/sacred-sundays-mark-lewis Mark Lewis | When Spirit Says It’s Time | Sacred Sundays What if the medicine you needed has been waiting eleven years to be shared, and the only thing required was the right moment to say yes? In this conversation with Mark Lewis, the friend who first planted the seed for Sacred Sundays, we open with something rare and unhurried: a healing song. Mark shares an Icaro, a Shipibo healing song channeled with intention for Ross, recorded outside of ceremony but carried by the same spirit that moves through the medicine. Before a single word of conversation is spoken, something shifts. This episode begins in the body, not the mind, and that is exactly the point. From there we move into eleven years of walking a path in ceremony, what it means to learn indigenous practices as a settler with respect and patience and genuine relationship, and why the green light to share cannot be rushed. Mark speaks to ayahuasca as a spirit aligned with the love of God without exception, to the difference between channeling light and performing spirituality, and to the razor’s edge of discernment between authenticity and protection. We also explore what it means to shine your light not as a destination or an achievement but as a practice of returning, again and again, to the truth of what your heart already knows. The medicine teaches the same thing every time.Come back to your breath.Come back to prayer. Come back home.

    Danae Jensen | Before the Medicine | Sacred Sundays

    What if the healing you have been searching for was already inside you, waiting for the right door to open? In this conversation with Danae Jensen, healing guide and founder of Soulful Sips, we explore the world of psilocybin assisted therapy with honesty, reverence, and a deep respect for the intelligence of what unfolds when we surrender to the medicine. Danae shares how a decade of self-help knowledge held in her mind finally landed in her body through a single healing journey, and how that experience led her to build a practice rooted in preparation, integration, and what she calls courageous honesty. We talk about the difference between recreational and intentional use, why the ceremony begins weeks before you ever eat a mushroom, and how internal family systems removes shame from the process by reminding us that all our contradictions are simply parts of us, not evidence that something is wrong. Our conversation moves through dream analysis, symbolic interpretation, hypnosis as a way of slipping past the intellect, and the medicine that shows up in the moments we least expect, like a desperate need to use the bathroom becoming a doorway to a childhood wound. Danae also speaks to her herbal tea line and the guided rituals that make deep soul care accessible at home, and to the power of circles where showing up messy is not just allowed but exactly the point. Go lie on your bed.Stare at the ceiling for five minutes.The sacred is right there.

    Paula Agudelo | House of Becoming | Sacred Sundays

    What if your home has been speaking to you all along, and you just haven't learned how to listen? In this conversation with Paula Agudelo, sacred interior designer, house therapist, and founder of Sacred Interiors, we open with a poem that stops time. The Life She Prayed Into Existence is Paula's own life, written into verse, and it arrives at a truth that shapes everything she does: it was never about getting everything. It was about finally having the capacity to receive it. Paula shares how the deaths of her father, a fiancé, and a brother taught her that space holds grief, and how the birth of her daughter taught her that space can also hold dreams. From a tiny apartment where she salvaged furniture from the trash to luxury design in Palm Beach that left her in tears driving home, she has always been searching for the same thing: a home that means something. Our conversation moves through the HOME method Paula built to guide women through healing, opening, manifesting, and energizing their spaces, and why the bedroom is almost always where the work begins. We talk about clutter and the nervous system, the painting that reminded a woman of the moment she found out her husband was cheating, and why what hangs on your walls is quietly influencing the quality of your thoughts every single day. Paula also speaks to Feng Shui, mantra, somatic movement, and channeling the home itself as a living entity that wants to help you. Start somewhere. Start with one room.Let the space become a vision board for who you are becoming.Buy fresh flowers.

    Vanessa Ooms | Rediscovering Your Inner Light | Sacred Sundays

    What if the moment everything fell apart was actually the moment your true life began? In this conversation with Vanessa Ooms, intuitive guide, Reiki master, and author, we open with the Heart Light meditation before following the arc of a spontaneous Kundalini awakening that cracked Vanessa open at one of the hardest moments of her life. She shares what it felt like to surrender on a kitchen floor with no plan, no idea what was next, and everything she had built dissolving around her, and how that surrender became the doorway to everything that followed. We talk about what it means to live outwardly focused for so long that you lose the thread of who you actually are, and how healing asks us to patiently find our way back. Our conversation moves into energy work, the power held in the words we speak, and what it means to become congruent, to let your voice, your choices, and your daily life finally match the truth of who you are inside. Vanessa speaks to how we learn to override our inner knowing and how we can learn to trust it again, and why even twenty minutes of something that feeds your soul changes the quality of everything else. We also explore surrender not as giving up but as the bravest possible form of trust. Go outside. Close your eyes. Let the sun move through you.Your spirit knows the way home.It always has.

    Liz Long | Welcome to Freedomville | Sacred Sundays

    What if the place you have been trying to fix was never broken, and the way out was never through fixing yourself at all? In this conversation with Liz Long, award-winning author of Navigating Shitstorms and Finding Freedomville, we take a tour through the fictional geography she created to map the human experience of suffering and the path out of it. Liz introduces us to Victim Town, its familiar landmarks including the Guilt and Shame Cafe, the Control Factory, the Denial Trails, and the Resentment Parking lot, and the three s****y beliefs she says most of us carry from childhood about our lovability, the importance of our needs, and the safety of the world. We talk about how these beliefs were never meant to hurt us, how they were the creative solutions of children doing their best without anyone to teach them what to do with their feelings. Our conversation moves through the choice point that lives inside every shitstorm, the pause before the reaction, and what it means to build trust with yourself one small moment of showing up at a time. Liz speaks to nearsight versus hindsight, why healing doesn't require reliving everything, and what Freedomville actually feels like when you start spending more time there. She also reflects honestly on parenting from an unhealed place, learning boundaries for the first time in her fifties, and why loving yourself is not a destination but the whole point of the journey. The next time you pass a mirror, pause.Meet your own eyes. Smile.Just see yourself.

    Ryan Baker | From Construction to Consciousness | Sacred Sundays

    What if the things holding you back were never really yours to begin with, and the path forward was always just waiting for you to say yes? In this conversation with Ryan Baker, founder of West Coast Alchemist, we follow the arc of a profound and accelerated awakening that began with late-night visitations in a work camp and led, through a series of courageous threshold crossings, to handcrafted energy tools, frequency art, and a life built around service to consciousness. Ryan shares how two decades in industrial construction gave way to a growing inner pressure that simply would not be quieted, and how each yes to that pressure opened something new. We talk about organite, its origins in the suppressed work of Wilhelm Reich, and how organic matter, crystal compression, and metal combine to draw in, transmute, and release life force energy into any space. Our conversation moves into the nature of depression as compression rather than disorder, the power of state of being over circumstance, and why the spoken word carries more creative force than most of us realize. Ryan speaks to the teachers who shaped his understanding, from Eckhart Tolle and Alan Watts to the channeled wisdom of Bashar, and how they all point to the same truth through different voices. He also shares his vision for community stewardship walks, guided meditations in nature, and sacred spaces built with ancient Egyptian measurements and pure heartfelt intention. Creation itself is listening in every moment.Speak to it. Love it. Love yourself.They are there, always.

    Tei Taiyarï | The Forest Knows Where You Are | Sacred Sundays

    What if you are not lost at all, and the world that birthed you has been waiting for you to stand still long enough to be found? In this conversation with Tei Taiyarï, counsellor, ecotherapist, death doula, and edge walker, we wander into territory that is rarely spoken about with this kind of honesty. Tei opens with a poem by David Wagoner that stops you in your tracks, and from there we move through grief, colonialism, cultural orphanhood, and the empty places within us that can only be filled by relationship with wildness. Tei speaks to the biophilic thread running through all of us, the innate love of life that modernity has not so much destroyed as buried under noise, convenience, and the relentless forward motion of a world at war with depth. Our conversation moves into what it means to descend rather than ascend, to grow roots before reaching for the sky, and why so much of modern spirituality is missing the assignment by looking up when the medicine has always been below. We talk about grief as an ocean we were never meant to enter alone, the raggy tapestry of cultural fragments we are all trying to piece together, and the growing intolerance for our own lack of integrity when we know deep down what we actually value. Tei does not offer easy answers, but he does offer something rarer and more useful, a willingness to feel it honestly and ask who wants to do it together. Stand still. The forest knows where you are. You must let it find you. Guest Name: Tei Taiyarï https://bio.site/tei.taiyari IG: https://www.instagram.com/tei.taiyari/ Check out Ross Tayler's work at https://www.rosstayler.com/
