    Singing Flowers, Shining Stars with Shirley Shantel aka. Lemurian Dreamweaver)

    Humanity is flowering.  So many people are beginning to let their light shine in unique ways.  This is amazing. Yet, part of the process is more fully experiencing the dark as well as the light within us so that they can come back into balance.  This podcast explores experiences of moving through this process with people who are brave enough to show us their messiness as well as they marvelousness.    In this episode, I speak with the creatively intelligent Shirley Shantel who goes by Lemurian Dreamweaver on Instagram.  She shares how she had to unpick herself through 5 years of depression after leaving an unhealthy relationship and exhausting career.  We allowed curiosity to guide our conversation while finding our way through these questions: What did your rock-bottom look like within the old paradigm and what has ‘unpicking yourself’ from the conventions, systems and structures looked like for you?  Where were your deepest hooks?  How do you hold the moments of fear and/or uncertainty? How have you found the guidance and confidence to follow your unique purpose here?  We all have unique parts to play – would you say they are all creative? What is it about your relationship with the plants, planets and stars that supports you to create?  What is this creativity all about? What do you see rising from where we are?  What are you creating and co-creating?  What excites you about the way things are evolving?

    Season 4 | Episode 3 | The Rise & Fall of Paradigms with Anneke Sips

    These are times of huge transition. We are crossing from an era of Pisces to Aquarius. We're shifting from a time where power has been centralised to one where it is moving back to the people. It's a time where knowledge is coming directly to each of us and updating itself rapidly. In this context, it felt important to explore 'paradigm' - what it is and how it transforms. This is what we are exploring in this episode with paradigm trailblazer Anneke Sips. As a psychiatric nurse, Yoga Therapist & Teacher Trainer, Anneke sought to bridge paradigms and is now more comfortable co-creating new ones outside the system, connecting a wide spectrum of possibilities within the field of healing and health. We discuss -the nature of paradigms (personal and collective) - her perspective of watching an old one fall while new ones rise - the parts of paradigm that are resistant to change and those that are more adaptable - whether there is a difference between transformation and death - what we see rising from where we are.

    Season 4 | Episode 2 | Rising When The World Lets You Down with Starkeeper Morton

    Rising from a rest or a place of safety is different to getting up for another round of battle or keeping up on the hamster wheel.  We’ve finished a three-year cycle starting with the onset of Corona 19, the restrictions, and the huge squeezes and shifts in consciousness it created.  We’ve been batted about by polarized views towards personal, collective, and existential extinction and quite frankly we’re done with the narratives and the old normal. It’s time to rise into something new. In this episode, I talk with Starkeeper Morton about: - where we are rising from collectively - how to navigate feeling betrayed, let down or unsupported by society - the different nervous system responses to something traumatic happening to you or to someone you feel responsible for - the practices and resources we can call upon - the pit you have to reach to really rise - the struggle, effort and joy of rising As always you can find me and our community at https://community.grow-free.com Get email updates at: subscribepage.io/GrowFree Watch video updates at The GrowFree YouTube Channel Grow Free Community - YouTube You can find Starkeeper at: https://www.facebook.com/starsparks.org starkeepermorton@gmail.com And you can find Starkeeper's book 'How To Survive When Society Lets You Down: A Guidebook' at: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Survive-When-Society-Lets-Down/dp/1959555782?ref=d6k_applink_bb_dls&dplnkId=ee5e0cba-f9d6-490b-8ad5-03fd9962e3c2

    Season 4 | Episode 1 | Rest to Rise with Lorna Bailey

    In a human world that has become a relentless stream of activity, rest has become one of the most radical acts we can take. To return our true connection to our human, and non-human, essence, it is one of the most potent acts we can make. This conversation explores 'rest' in ordinary and extraordinary ways. Emma B taps into Lorna Bailey's experience as a single mother, a devoted daughter and a seasoned shamanic practitioner. It covers :- - The ways we understand and frame life, challenge, transition and crisis - The effect of our language on our nervous system - personal and collective trauma burdens of self-reliance and longing - Surrender and bringing in support - Cultivating inner spaciousness - Rest as a portal into body consciousness and into the vastness of existence This episode was part of the GrowFree Rest to Rise Online Retreat that takes place in the winter months. There are many more seasonal, monthly, and one-off offerings, courses and events in the GrowFree calendar. Including a new trauma-informed, nature-based practitioner and peer training in 2024.

    Season 3 | Episode 9 | Memory as Medicine with Lorna Bailey

    Memory as Medicine is a dialogue with shamanic practitioner and poet seer Lorna Bailey that dives into the nature of memory. We discuss: - discuss how unresolved trauma disconnects us from the intelligence of memory, keeping hijacked in repeating loops of the nervous system - recognize that memory is sometimes labelled as imagination or psychosis - honour the value of re-membering ourselves into the creation process and - explore what journeys of remembering can look and feel like Lorna is a Sacred Feminine Embodiment Practitioner, Poet Seer and Ancient Voice Singer and Musician. Her work is rooted in indigenous earth wisdom, quantum medicine, and shamanism. Having uncovered her own genetic memories and light codes she takes people through her written poetry and musicality into the mythic realms of our collective past, present and future. Through communal frame drumming and singing, Lorna supports and facilitates people to begin accessing their tribal voices through working with seed sounds and heart beat rhythms. She is also the founder and co-creator of the Sacred Faces of Female embodiment programme. This is a shamanic based exploration of the ‘new archetypes ‘ of Woman, where she takes women on individual or small group ‘ immersions’ into the inner landscapes of the feminine psyche and soma where they can meet and recover the lost faces and the burden carriers of the feminine soul which are calling to be awakened and embodied. Lorna lives with her partner on the Isle of Sheppey off of the North coast of Kent, England.

    Season 3 Episode 8 | Reverence & Connection | with Lorna Bailey, Madeleine Besson & Georgia Brooker

    In this episode, I explore the relationship between connection and reverence - what they are, where we lost and found them - with three Grow Free Community Members. We start the conversation by looking at some quotes and definitions from Brene Brown's Atlas of the Heart, and in particular the comparison of admiration and reverence. 'We feel admiration when someone's abilities, accomplishments, or character inspires us, or when we see something else that inspires us like art or nature'. 'Reverence, which is sometimes called adoration, worship, or veneration, is a deeper form of admiration or respect and is often combined with a sense of meaningful connection with something greater than ourselves ... characterised by the capacity of feeling deep respect, love and humility for something sacred or transcendent. What's interesting is that while admiration fosters self-betterment, reverence seems to foster a desire for connection to what we revere - we want to move closer to that person or thing. In what is another personal conversation with insightful peers and practitioners who honestly share reflections and moments of their journey, we get to hear about the ways that nature fostered safety and reverence when the human world seemed confusing.

    Season 3 | Episode 7 | Archetypes & Attunement with Lorna Bailey

    Archetypes and attunement are resources that are significantly affected by trauma and key to moving beyond it.   Attunement can be described and experienced in many ways.  It is essentially our ability to receive, feel and respond to the flow of energy or information within and around us.  I love how Thomas Hubl describes attunement. When we are carrying significant trauma burdens however, which most of us are, our internal system has us pinched off from direct sensory experience.  A mechanism that kicked in when we first experienced something too overwhelming – in this lifetime or in previous ones – that prevents us feeling the level of threat and vulnerability it perceived us to be facing.  This is dissociation.  It’s common and collective.  Another field of forgotten embodied resources are our archetypes; constellations of qualities, knowledge and skills that have often been communicated in stories and myth in human form, but also as totems or power animals, plants and planets.  My sense is that our inevitable journey is to bring planetary and plant archetypes and ways of attuning into human form. In this episode, I speak to this theme with a Grow Free Elder Lorna Bailey who is highly and deeply attuned and an embodied activator of many an archetype.  Having started her adult life living in an indigenous community in the United States, she is one of the most guided, surrendered and reverent people I know.  Her work over these recent years has been to receive and journey with a universal set of burden carriers and archetypes (they don't like this term but were happy to turn up for the conversation!). Lorna is developing this work into a package of resources, activations and retreats.  Lorna's events are listed in the Grow Free Community Platform .  Her Lotus Woman Retreat on Sunday July 9th and her Cygnus Moon Drumming Circle on June 25th in Aberdeenshire. Both are being held in Aberdeenshire, yet Lorna lives between here,  Kent and Suffolk and is working on offering much of this online too.  Find Lorna at community.grow-free.com and message her directly using the member search and chat function.  You can email at lornabailey1@outlook.com.  You can also find her through www.thetempleroom.co.uk and The Temple Room Whatsapp Group.

    Season 3 Episode 6 Fit to Play with Jon Cree

    In this episode, I speak with a firm favourite in the Grow Free Community.  One of our practitioner members, Jon Cree was one of the key pioneers of Forest School in the UK, a director of The Forest School Association UK and co-author of The Essential Guide to Forest School & Nature Pedagogy.  He is also an emerging expert in nature-based approaches for working through trauma.  Jon is delivering three workshops with us in Aberdeenshire in May this year. Together in Nature - nervous system attunement in nature for practitioners and peer supportersInvolving All, Evolving Play - consent-based , play-led learning for practitioners, educators and parentsThe Power of Connection - a weekend immersion exploring somatics and storytelling. This conversation teases out some of the language we have used to describe the workshops, finding the phrase 'Fit to Play' as a common thread connecting them all.  We cover themes such as: - how the multi-sensory world of nature helps us to hold BIG feelings and share life experiences - the neurobiology of healing - relational attunement and how it helps to re-focus attention and re-discover delight in the energy of life - how to walk alongside each other and the more than human to feel our natural state as one of profound interconnectedness, feeling it counteract anxiety A beautiful conversation with a beautiful bloke, igniting our excitement for him coming in May.  For more information  you can email emmab@grow-free.com
