    Alanna Brennan | Whose Peace Are You Keeping? | Sacred Sundays

    What if the voice you lost wasn't taken from you all at once, but quietly silenced one unspoken no at a time? In this conversation with Alanna Brennan, sound healer, voice coach, and founder of Womb Reclamation, we explore the profound connection between the voice and the body's two centers of creation. Alanna shares how the sacral and the throat are not separate systems but one, and why everything we have been unable to say eventually shows up in the body as pain, tension, or breakdown. We talk about the body as a keeper of truth, why the fascia holds memory, and what becomes possible when we stop asking the mind to lead and start listening to what the body has known all along. Our conversation moves through boundaries, anger, sound as medicine, and the long journey from people pleasing to authentic power. Alanna speaks to her own experience of physical crisis as the moment her body finally forced the no she couldn't yet choose, and what happened to her voice once she started setting boundaries. We explore why humming, toning, and chanting are not just spiritual tools but physiological ones, how sound can alchemize a scream into something sovereign, and why the path back to yourself runs straight through the places you have been most afraid to go. You are the divine. Sound is you as the creator, creating. Come back into the body. It has been waiting.

    Darrell Greenwood | Playing in the Destiny | Sacred Sundays

    What if the chaos you survived was never the obstacle to your gifts, but the very thing that forged them? In this conversation with Darrell Greenwood, author of the multidimensional storybook Lantern on the Longship, we explore what it means to be a highly sensitive person moving through a world that rarely makes room for that. Darrell shares his journey from a childhood wired for feeling everything, through years of unconscious coping, into a committed healing path anchored in breathwork, nature, and the courage to go into the darkness and come back with something to offer. We talk about the body as a library, the stories stored in our chest long before we have words for them, and what becomes available when we finally stop running from what we feel. Our conversation moves into quantum physics, multidimensionality, emotional regulation, and the quiet revolution of choosing love over victimhood when the pressure is at its highest. Darrell speaks to the clean slate that greets us every morning, the medicine of bare feet in the grass, and why discipline reframed through imagination becomes something we want rather than something we endure. He also reflects on what it means to do your inner work not just for yourself but for the entire lineage behind you and the collective ahead. Sit down. Close your eyes. Let the breath find its way into the belly and the heart. That is the key. It has always been with you.

    Onyx Rose | Shine Your Light | Sacred Sundays

    What if the gifts you've been holding back are not just yours to keep, but medicine the world is waiting for? In this conversation with Onyx Rose, performing artist of mixed Irish and Native heritage, we explore what it means to live from your inner compass and let that alignment become the creative force that moves through everything you do. Onyx shares the story behind her debut song Shine Bright, how it was born in the middle of the night in three separate waves, and why she chose to anchor herself in the energy of the song's intention rather than the fear of the recording booth. We talk about the lower chakras, the shadow work that lives beneath the light, and why true radiance has nothing to do with performance and everything to do with permission. Our conversation moves through ancestral wisdom, embodiment, the rhythm that lives in all of us long before we find a practice to name it, and the quiet sovereignty that comes from sourcing yourself from within. Onyx speaks to her prayer for ease and grace, her decision to move her family to Costa Rica in six weeks, and the way she has learned to let joy be the compass rather than the destination. Whether you are sitting with a creative longing, a healing path, or simply the question of what you would do if nothing stood in the way, this conversation holds a generous space for all of it. Breath. Heartbeat. A stone in your pocket. The sacred is never far. It is already in you.

     Barry Samson | The River of Distress | Sacred Sundays

    What if everything you've been calling depression is actually a signal, and the system designed to guide you home has been inside you all along? In this conversation with Barry Samson, social entrepreneur, writer, and founder of the Depression Confessions, we explore what happens when we stop being afraid of emotional pain and start getting curious about it. Barry shares his own journey from a suicidal teenager to someone who has spent decades building relational containers where nothing is too hot to handle. We talk about the river of distress, why conventional therapeutic responses so often miss the mark, and what becomes possible when a group of people simply refuse to be frightened of what someone is carrying. Our conversation moves into the nervous system as our most sophisticated navigational tool, and why the check engine light we keep taping over is the very thing trying to lead us back to ourselves. Barry speaks to the power of pods, small groups of people committed to honest presence with one another, and why dysregulation resolves not through years of individual therapy but through the simple, ancient medicine of being truly witnessed. We also explore the emotional life we were designed to live, and why the path out of the river isn't complicated once we stop treating our own depths as something to manage and start treating them as something to follow. Your emotional pain is not the enemy.It is trying to tell you something important.Get curious. Let it lead you home.

    jeff thompson | Let Love Loose | Sacred Sundays

    What if the thing standing between us and collective healing is simply how much of our heart we're willing to let out? In this conversation with Jeff Thompson, Psychodramatist, clinical director, and longtime friend, we wander into the field Rumi wrote about, the one that exists beyond right and wrong, and explore what becomes possible when we meet each other there. Jeff shares the essence of psychodrama, a modality that blends therapy and theatre to help people enact the experiences their bodies never got to have, and why Bessel Van der Kolk calls it his number one healing modality for trauma. We talk about inner healing intelligence, the unmet needs that drive so much of human suffering, and what it looks like when a group of people organically moves toward someone who is hurting. Our conversation stretches further into the unknown, into psychedelic experience, past lives, the beginning of the universe, and the question of what might actually happen if enough of us stopped contracting in the face of fear and chose to expand instead. Jeff reflects on creativity beyond what has ever been imagined, not as an abstract idea but as a lived intention, and what it might mean for each of us to trust that our unique presence here sparks something the world has never seen before. We also pause long enough for a seven-year-old to offer a few words to the adult in the room. Ask yourself the question.  How do I connect with the sacred?  Your answer is already there.

    Alex Vu | The Quiet That Heals | Sacred Sundays

    What if the moment you stop pushing away what you feel is the moment it loses its grip on you? In this conversation with Alex Vu, holistic healing practitioner and founder of Nichi Healing in Nanaimo, we explore what it means to live a life rooted in presence rather than performance. Alex shares her journey from corporate Vancouver to the mountain views and ocean air of Vancouver Island, and how that leap without a map led her to a practice built on Reiki, mindfulness, sound healing, and Buddhist philosophy. We talk about Ho'oponopono, the ancient Hawaiian practice of forgiveness and reconciliation, and how sitting with our generational patterns rather than pushing them away opens something profound. Our conversation moves into purpose, pain, and the quiet that night owls know well. Alex reflects on why healing begins the moment we feel something is missing, and why true empowerment means giving people tools they can take home rather than reasons to keep coming back. We explore what it means to be human alongside our own divinity, the relationship between doing and being, and why guilt about resting might be the most telling sign that something needs attention. Alex reminds us that we are simultaneously our light and our shadow, and that showing up every day already means we are doing our best. Don't push away what you feel.  Name it. Own it. And then remember.  You are everything on that spectrum.
