    Sacred Sexuality & the Cosmic Mother with Nickie Jean ✧ EP| 25

    In this deeply intimate and expansive episode of This Cosmic Life, I sit down with the beautiful and mysterious Nickie Jean for a profound conversation on sacred sexuality, tantra, womb healing, divine union, and the Cosmic Mother. Together, we explore sexuality beyond performance, beyond conditioning, and beyond shame as a path of devotion, embodiment, healing, prayer, and awakening. Nickie shares her journey through kundalini awakening, years of celibacy, Red Tantra initiation, temple arts, endocrine alchemy, and the deep purification that comes through walking the path of sacred sexual rites. We speak about the connection between the throat and the womb, the healing of masculine sexuality, the power of play within intimacy, oracle consciousness, and becoming a vessel for the divine spark to move through the body. This conversation moves between the mystical and the deeply human — weaving together Inanna, Goddess Nut, astral light, ego death, sacred partnership, breath, voice, and the remembrance that our bodies themselves are living temples.

We come together to explore the pathless path, the wild and mysterious unfolding of transformation, devotion, and awakening.

    Grief as Portal ✧ Celebration, Community, and the Courage to Stay Human with Svetlana EP | 24

    In this deeply human and tender episode of This Cosmic Life, I sit in sacred conversation with Svetlana, a luminous facilitator, celebrator, and lover of the human experience. This episode is a quiet initiation. We speak of grief not as something to fix, transcend, or rush through, but as a living teacher. A river. A force that strips us bare and invites us into a fuller, truer celebration of life. Svetlana shares the unimaginable loss of her mother and sister in a tragic accident, the near death experience that followed, and the way grief became an unexpected guide back into the body, back into community, and back into what it truly means to be human. Together we explore the intimate relationship between grief and joy, why celebration is not bypassing but presence, how grief makes us naked and why that nakedness is sacred, what it means to be witnessed in sorrow, why grief longs for community rather than isolation, and how collaboration and shared dreaming can become medicine. We also dive into Svetlana’s work with Dragon Dreaming, a heart centered approach to collaboration rooted in Indigenous wisdom, where projects are tended like living beings and community becomes love in action. This conversation is for those who have loved deeply, lost deeply, and are learning how to stay. For those who feel the ache of grief alongside the longing for joy. For those who know that healing does not happen alone. This is an episode about slowing down, listening, celebrating what is here, and remembering that grief and joy live in the same body, the same heart, the same breath. About Svetlana Svetlana is a facilitator, celebrator, and devoted student of the human experience. She is committed to exploring how humans can live, work, and dream together with honesty, compassion, and presence. Her work weaves compassionate communication, evolutionary astrology, family constellation therapy, evolutionary relating, circle facilitation, and Dragon Dreaming, a collaborative project design process rooted in Indigenous Australian wisdom and collective dreaming. Born in Moldova and shaped by a life of travel and cultural immersion, Svetlana considers herself a world citizen. Community, collaboration, communication, connection, and celebration form the core pillars of her life and work. In this season of her life, grief has become one of her greatest teachers. Through personal loss, near death experience, and profound transformation, she is devoted to normalizing grief as a shared human experience and creating spaces where people can be witnessed in both sorrow and joy. Svetlana facilitates individual and group family constellation sessions, grief and connection circles, Dragon Dreaming collaborations, and community based gatherings that invite people back into relationship with themselves and one another. At heart, she is a celebrator. One who believes that to truly celebrate life, we must make room for all of it.

    The Living Light ✧ Priestess Codes of Mother Mary and the Astral Womb with Nickie Jean EP | 22

    In this luminous and wildly alive conversation, I welcome back priestess and temple guide Nickie Jean for a journey into the mystery, where miraculous conception, the astral light, and the sacred frequencies of Mother Mary weave together in living remembrance and conscious conversation. This episode is for the mystical explorer and dreamer, for the ones who have touched the unseen, who know that spirit speaks in nonlinear, extraordinary ways. Together we open a space for wonder, for those who have experienced supernatural contact or communion with other realms of being. Through the lens of Marguerite Mary Rigoglioso’s revelatory works, The Mystery Tradition of Miraculous Conception and The Secret Life of Mother Mary, we explore the ancient priestess arts of parthenogenesis, the alchemy of the womb, and the awakening of the Virgin lineage within us now. Nickie shares her personal and deeply insightful experiences with astral babies, visionary contact, and the living light that moves through all creation. This conversation is devotional, daring, and an offering for the ones remembering that the body itself is a holy temple of light 𓆩𓁿𓆪My Guest Nickie Jean is a modern day priestess and creator of Askanda Natha Mystery School located in the Los Angeles area. She specializes in holding space for healing through ceremonies ranging from reiki, to tantra, and sacred medicines such as kambo. She also offers priestess apprenticeships to allow others to come and learn the temple arts, and to assist them in feeling comfortable and confident to share their gifts with the community. Through temple initiations and Mystery School teachings she provides an outlet to help re awaken ancient traditions integrated into modern society. One of her passion is helping to shed shame around sacred sexuality and help people understand the power that lies within our sexual essence, and helping other women to feel safe to be embodied in the divine feminine power of sensuality done in an honorable manner. Through kundalini energetics and quantum bodywork she teaches others unique ways to awaken the endocrine alchemy that the ancients used to revere. Among her many Mystery School offerings she also provides womb healing, yoni mapping, and kundalini awakening done through your own spiritual experience, not relying on another to access and rise this sacred life force. Her greatest joy is learning new wisdoms and sharing it with others.  Website: ⁠www.ebetantra.com⁠ Insta: ⁠www.instagram.com/nickiejean⁠ I’m Tara Samadhi, and it is my joy to welcome you into This Cosmic Life.

    The Language of the Orixás✧Devotion, Offerings, and Living Transmission EP | 21

    Today I welcome my dear sister Ju Brunnquell back to This Cosmic Life. We open a living conversation on the language of the Orishas, the art of offerings as mandala, and how mediumship, music, and movement become bridges between worlds. Ju shares her path through Santo Daime to Umbanda, what it meant to be “caught” by mediumship, and how archetypal forces like Eshu and the Boiadeiros teach protection, surrender, and right timing. This is a tender invitation to feel first, understand later, and let devotion become the way we walk, speak, and listen. In This Episode What the Orishas are as archetypal forces of nature and how they appear across traditions The African diaspora in Brazil and the weaving of Umbanda with Spiritism and Christianity Mediumship as a pedagogy of the body — vibration, sensation, vision, and discernment Eshu as opener of the roads and guardian at the crossroads Offerings as poetry and mandala — moving intention from the mental to the material The Boiadeiros (Wranglers) as humble guides of faith, simplicity, and steady action Parallels with Tibetan Buddhist offering practice and daily devotion Ju is an ordained Priestess of Sacred Umbanda, initiated by Alexandre Cumino at Colégio Pena Branca in São Paulo. She is also a Fire Alchemist through the same lineage and an Alchemist of Exú, initiated by Fátima Saraceni. Deeply rooted in the mysteries of Exú, Pombagira, and the healing forces of Obaluaê, Ju channels transformative teachings through ritual, voice, and presence. She is the founder of Escola do Pentagrama, a spiritual school dedicated to autonomy, oracular wisdom, and the living language of the Orixás offering e-books, courses, and meditations to seekers and make Afro-Brazilian spirituality accessible across the worlds. → Explore her work or join her next offering at: ⁠escoladopentagrama.com⁠ Tara Samadhi, a sound mystic, astrologer, and devotional guide weaving together True Sidereal wisdom, plant medicine, and the sacred currents of sound.

    Elevating Relations ✧ Love & Friendship in the Spiritual Age : Sacred Selfishness | EP 19

    In this first episode of a new series on Love & Friendship in the Spiritual Age, I talk with Dr. Serafina Ankhalla, my dear friend, mystic of relationships, medicine woman, and ceremonial guide who carries beautiful insight and wisdom for the seeker of authentic and lasting relationships. Together we explore the paradox of sacred selfishness , the courage to tend ourselves as holy ground, to honor our needs, boundaries, and inner longings as the very soil from which authentic love can grow. We speak to the art of holding space for the parts of ourselves we tend to turn away from, the wounds, the unmet places still aching for attention. This conversation is an invocation into remembering that our relationships are not simply about giving and receiving, but about awakening. To love one another, we must first learn to love ourselves, especially in a time when loving is a radical act. Dr. Serafina Ankhalla, DNP is a Medicine Woman, Relationship and Personal Transformation Guide, Somatic Healer, and Psychedelic Integration Practitioner.  She also does healing and transformation work as a Tantrika and Shamanatrix. Drawing from her extensive experience in Western medicine and comprehensive training in relationship psychology, trauma-informed practices, sacred sexuality, and the shamanic arts, Dr. Ankhalla  assists clients to heal their body, mind and spirit and reach their fullest potential as creators of their desired life.  In her healing ceremonies, she integrates various ancient tools such as plant medicines, breathwork, movement, sound therapy, song circles, intuitive touch healing practices, as well as intimate communication exercises and pleasure-based methods to guide people through powerful inner journeys. She provides a ceremonial space where clients can work on aligning their physicality with their emotions, psychology and spirituality, and gain a profound understanding of themselves and their relationships with others.

    “Spirituality is the art of relaxation.”These are the words of Ju of Obaluaê, and they set the tone for this first step into The Language of the Orixás a living, ongoing series within This Cosmic Life. In this tender and powerful transmission, Ju shares from over 15 years of practice as a medium, priestess, and translator between worlds.

We explore: Spiritual autonomy as the ability to soften into trust The role of the medium as a bridge — not a container Umbanda and the reverence for the natural forces that live through the Orixás How connecting to the spirit requires surrender, humility, and love This is a conversation for those who feel spirit move through them in breath, in silence, in tremble.For those learning to trust their own access.For those returning home to the earth, and to their own sacred speech.
