    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/

    Brandy Cox | Only Twenty Percent of the Work | Sacred Sundays

    What if the answers you have been searching for were never in your head to begin with? In this conversation with Brandy Cox, integrative counsellor and spiritual medium, we explore what happens when two very different worlds learn to work together. Brandy shares how she came to this work through energy healing, through the medicine of being in circle with others, and through the slow realization that deep connection was not just something she wanted to offer, it was something she needed. We talk about co-regulation, the nervous system, and why eighty percent of the messages your body is sending never make it to conscious thought at all, which means that talking alone can only take us so far. Our conversation moves through somatic awareness, intuition as a muscle to be trusted, and the unexpressed nos that accumulate in the body when safety was never guaranteed. Brandy speaks to the overlap between her counselling work and her mediumship, why spirit tends to knock loudest when she is not making time for it, and how she holds the line between both without losing either. We also explore the wave of men she has found herself called to support, people who never had language for what they were feeling, discovering for the first time that it is safe to feel it. The answer is always within.Slow down. Listen.Your body has been speaking all along.

    Barry Samson | Your Nervous System Is Not Broken | Sacred Sundays

    What if the system designed to help people in pain has been making normal human responses wrong for decades? In this third conversation with Barry Samson, we go somewhere that takes courage to go, into a direct examination of the DSM, the diagnostic manual that has shaped the Western world's response to emotional distress for over fifty years. Barry speaks with clarity and without malice, pointing to the architectural problem at the core of a system that pathologizes the very signals a healthy nervous system was designed to send. We talk about the little boy whose inability to focus on long division was not a disorder but a nervous system doing exactly what it should do in the presence of fear, and the musician whose doctor was reprimanded for refusing to medicate normal anxiety. Our conversation moves into the open dialogue movement emerging from northwestern Lapland, where practitioners sit without diagnosis at a family's kitchen table and return eighty-five percent of people who have experienced psychotic breaks to full productive lives within five years, outcomes North America cannot come close to matching. Barry shares what this has to do with his pods, why the medicine is always in the honest conversation that has never been allowed to happen before, and what it means that reason alone never prevented Auschwitz. We also explore the giraffe and the jackal, and why reclaiming soma is not a soft idea but perhaps the most urgent work of our time. Truth shared is not truth received.But truth never shared will never be received.The conversation has to happen.

    Thirza Voysey | The Green Juice of Nature | Sacred Sundays

    What if the most powerful healing available to you right now is simply being seen by something that cannot lie? In this conversation with Thirza Voysey, author of The Wild In Us and founder of Soul Farm Sanctuary on Gabriola Island, we enter the world of equine healing and what horses offer that nothing else quite can. Thirza shares how her divorce became the turning point that sent her back to herself, and how the horses found her just as she was learning to stop performing a life and start living one. We talk about the shadow not as darkness but as the dancer and singer and wild self that got pushed into hiding, and how a thousand pound animal has a remarkable way of reflecting both your core vibration and the edges where you are being asked to grow. Our conversation moves through nervous system healing, the difference between doing and being, and why highly sensitive people are drawn to this work in ways they often cannot fully explain. Thirza speaks to Luna, the young mare who arrived carrying the weight of abuse and has slowly learned through person after person that safety is real, and to the membership she built around the horses' own design, where relationship unfolds slowly and depth is the point. We also explore what it means to be of service to horses rather than simply using them, and why showing up at the farm even when it feels like nothing is happening is often exactly when everything is. The horses are waiting.Be present. Be still. Be your wild.That is enough.Guest Name: Thirza Voysey www.thirzavoysey.com or www.soulfarm.ca IG: https://www.instagram.com/soulfarmsanctuary/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/soulfarmhorsemedicine  Check out Ross Tayler's work at https://www.rosstayler.com/

    Kate Emberton | You Are Not What Happened To You | Sacred Sundays

    What if the goal was never to fix yourself, but to strip away everything you were never meant to carry in the first place? In this conversation with Kate Emberton, intuitive channel, energy healer, and astrologer, we explore what it means to leave a corporate life behind and step fully into work that bridges the seen and unseen. Kate shares her own journey through a spiritual awakening, the slow unraveling of who she thought she was, and why she now helps others do the same. We talk about the difference between religion and spirituality, the body as a kind of filing cabinet for everything we have never processed, and why resistance is often the very thing standing between someone and the healing they are ready for. Our conversation moves into astrology, channeling, and the larger cosmic shifts many people are feeling without quite having language for. Kate speaks to the idea that we are souls having a human experience, that adversity is often a redirection rather than a punishment, and that the world we see outside us is simply a reflection of the world we have not yet healed within. We also touch on ascension, the rare planetary alignments shaping this moment, and why becoming aware of your thoughts and the emotions beneath them may be the single most powerful shift available to anyone. You are not your trauma.You are not your conditioning.Strip it all away, and find out who you have been all along.

    Jude Wong | The Way of Council | Sacred Sundays

    What if slowing down isn't a retreat from life, but the doorway to everything we've been searching for? In this conversation with Jude Wong, therapist and somatic facilitator, we step away from the usual format and enter a live experience of the Way of Council, an indigenous-rooted practice of speaking and listening from the heart. Jude guides us through a grounding visualization before we settle into shared presence, exploring what sacred space actually means. Liminal space between conscious and unconscious, kairos time where ceremony lives, and the personal symbols that only we can recognize as meaningful. We talk about hypnotherapy, family constellations work, and the years Jude spent in twelve step rooms discovering the strange and beautiful phenomenon of receiving exactly the words we needed to hear from someone else. Our conversation moves into the epic, ongoing journey of slowing down, the nervous breakdowns that brought both of us to this work, and the quiet grief of losing even an hour of spaciousness to the demands of survival. Jude speaks to the concept of spoons, rationing energy and attention in a world built to fragment it, and what it means when the body finally forces the slowdown the mind refused to choose. We close with a prayer for our circles to grow, for every voice to find its courage, and for no one to be left out of that unfolding. May our circles continue to grow.May each of us find our voice.And so the world changes, one person at a time.Guest Name: Jude Wong https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/therapists/jude-wong-nanaimo-bc/892545https://opensessionspace.janeapp.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/sessionswithjude/ Check out Ross Tayler's work at https://www.rosstayler.com/
