The Conscious Bro Show William Kyle Glenn

On todays show we dive into ancient forms of Earth Stewardship and farming….and how they can be replicated in new ways today to help rebuild, restore, and heal ecosystems! 



To help me with this task I invited on my friend, ecologist, instructor, and founder of Mastodon Valley Farm Peter Allen.



“we realized that we couldn’t restore healthy ecosystems on the land without integrating ourselves and our community fully into the functioning of those ecosystems. It was a flash of insight gained when Peter was deep into researching the history and ecology of our native Oak Savanna ecosystems. Native Americans had been managing the landscape specifically for Oak Savannas for millennia - a sensible thing to do considering these savannas produce a much higher volume of food - fruit, nuts, and meat - than an unmanaged native forest. Frustrated with modern ecosystem restoration techniques that focus more on chemical warfare with so called “invasive species” rather than the establishment of a functional ecosystem context, Peter realized that the only way to truly restore functioning oak savanna ecosystems, was for human beings to integrate themselves within those ecosystems, as keystone species - just as Indigenous Americans had - and procure their food directly from those ecosystems. In our modern market economy, the only way we could figure out how to afford the luxury of personal ecological integration was through the creation of a farm - to produce and sell the fruits of our ecosystems. And Mastodon Valley Farm was born.”

How were ancient native Americans farming this continent in mass?



How did this build topsoil, sequester CO2, purify water , recharge aquifers, reduce flooding, and enhance biodiversity?



And how can you do the same?



Why is it important to form a spiritual relationship with your land and animals?



Why is the climate “changing” so to speak? And what can we do about it?



Is there more than what meets the eye in regards to this issue? 



We will explore the answers to all these questions and much more in this podcast...

Happy St. Patricks Day! 



In this episode I invited my friend Edward Schultz to come on to discuss much of the fascinating & transformational work he is doing out on his land in Soldiers Grove, WI.



This includes Ancestral remembrance practices, intentional sound sessions, Celtic ceremonies, immersions, potlucks, and much more…



Ed first began to learn the old Celtic ways from his Bohemian grandmother and since then he has incorporated a variety of other modalities into his practices such as Vedic sound therapy, stone/crystal medicine, Lakota teachings, and others.





Why is it important to connect with your ancestors?



How can people of European origin connect back into the ancient ways of their origin?



What can we learn from these Celtic ways of being? 



How can it help put us in right relation with this continent?…And heal the traumas of the past?



How can you cleanse, release, and heal through intentional sound?



How can crystals and stones aid in this process?



And what does it mean to truly remember?







Listen in today to explore these questions and more!

Oh and by the way…..The fact that we are talking Celtic Wisdom on St. Pattys Day was a complete divine synchronicity and literally not planned at all……Seriously! 







P.S. See the comments below for Ed’s upcoming Sound Meditations and/or visit his website at https://lifeelemental.org/

On this broadcast we delve into a wide range of topics spanning through the realms of spirit, prayer, and pain.



To help me dig deep into these matters I had my friend and long time Viroqua resident Frank Wildingway on to give a nuanced perspective from a highly insightful, all encompassing, and fascinating point of view…



As a Vocation Creative Frank combines the mediums of music, artistry, culinary arts, martial arts, Doaism, Zen Buddhism, shamanism…and many other facets of expression into his own unique and rich flavor of being.

 



In our riveting conversation we touched into many existential questions from a variety of different angles and fields of inquiry....





Is pain necessary for the collective human experience?



How can we grow and transform through suffering?



How can we meet ourselves through contrast and find out who we really are?



What are some of the cosmic principles that pervade all world religions?



What is prayer?



How can sound, vocals, community and intention aid ones own journey through prayer?



Can prayer unite people?



How can the wisdom of the ancients help balance and depolarize our world today? 



How does it provide a foundation for understanding our world? 



Tune in today to explore these questions and much more!

Today we take a deep dive into the incredibly contentious topic that is the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict….



This was quite a challenging subject to discuss I might add but when it was all said and done I think we added much value to the air waves :)



In an effort to get to the heart of the matter…and root out potential tangible solutions for actual peace in this region….I brought on my friend…colleague…and Social Threefolding enthusiast Seth Jordan.



Seth brings a whole new slew of ideas to the table that you may not have considered before when reviewing this tragic situation…



And I believe that these ideas have the potential to bring lasting resolution to this region and other conflict-ridden zones around the world if taken hold of effectively…



So if the situation in Israel/Palestine has your head spinning, anger riled up, or you just want to explore what can be done about it….then this show is for you! 



Though I do highly recommend you listen with an open mind….open heart…and do your absolute best to set aside whichever “side” you may believe is “in the right” and explore the conflict through a new lense….if even just for this one hour show :)



Either way tune in today for an enticing new perspective on the matter!

Christmas will be here soon…

And in light of that I wanted to take a deep dive into the mysteries of Christ.

From an esoteric point of view…

Stay tuned because most likely…you haven’t heard Christ spoke of in this light before…

What is the the true mission of the being called Christ?

How is it directly connected to the evolution of humanity...from a literal point of view?

What are the common misconceptions about this being?

What is the true connection between paganism, Judaism, the mystery schools, and Christianity?

How is Christ, spirit, and science related?

How does Christ relate to "New Age" philosophy and concepts like "ascension" and/or "5D".

How can having knowledge of this information help you regardless of what your religion is…even if you don't have one at all...?

How do we find harmony amongst the religions and belief systems of the world…?

Is Christianity in need of renewal?

And why does talking about Christ today seem like an offensive act to so many people? And what can be done about that?

To help me hash out all of this information I invited my friend and mentor Robert Karbelnikoff...who have been studying spiritual science for 40+ years…He is also a teacher, writer, consultant, and has spent many years working in the organic/biodynamic farming movement…

In all reality….this episode has the potential to blow your mind!

You don’t want to miss it!!

Whether you currently feel like Christianity "isn't your cup of tea" or you want to achieve a deeper understanding of Christ or you just want to bolster your spiritual practice in general...this is for you :)

This show contains some sensitive content so listener discretion is advised.



War is all over the news these days so I thought I’d take some time to delve into the life of a modern day warrior to see what we can learn from his experience.



My buddy Ross Anderson is a veteran of the Iraq war. An author. An artist. A spiritual seeker. And a steward of 40 acres here locally just outside of La Farge, WI.



In this episode we take a deep dive into Ross’s fascinating journey of war and recovery….



From conflict over seas….to intense struggles of reintegration into daily life post deployment…to his spiritual awakening…..and eventually finding peace and healing along the way.



Come hear a piece of this mans incredible tale…the deeply traumatic cost of war….his extreme battle with suicidal ideation….what he ultimately learned….. and what he did to eventually overcome and heal
