    Alchemizing "Source Material" with Ash Ryzen Witham

    Send us a text In this episode, Wil Fisher sits down with Ash Ryzen Witham, a queer, nonbinary trauma-informed Somatic Coach and Connection & Embodiment Facilitator. Ash supports personal and collective transformation by guiding people into deeper connection with themselves, each other, and life itself through somatic wisdom, embodied and authentic relating practices, and movement + expression. Their work is rooted in the belief that the ache, tension, and longing we carry are not “problems to fix,” but raw material for personal evolution, where the art of alchemy truly lives. Together, they explore: Somatic coaching as a path to self-trust and the body as our most honest guide.  Nervous system regulation in intense times and why safety isn’t a concept, it’s a felt experience.  “First responders”: the early signals in the body that let us intervene before activation takes the wheel.  How to work with emotions in a way that’s compassionate, practical, and grounded in real life (not bypass-y).  Authentic Relating as a practice of truth + care: saying what’s real while staying connected to impact.  Belonging vs. fitting in and how self-belonging becomes the foundation for healthy community.  Holding multiple truths in queer spaces with more curiosity, less fragility, and more capacity for nuance.  Alchemy as transmutation: turning pain, tension, and longing into power, meaning, and movement.  Ash’s queer journey, representation, and the ways “coming out” can be a lifelong unfolding.  Ecstatic dance as an embodied portal back into aliveness, joy, and community.

Brian is the co-founder of QueerTheology.com (a resource hub, podcast, and online community exploring how queerness and spirituality enrich one another) and the founder of Relationshift, a coaching practice supporting LGBTQ+ and polyamorous folks in building thriving relationships on their own terms. Brian is also the co-author of Queers The Word, and his first solo book, Love Beyond Monogamy. Together, they explore: Moving beyond the “clobber passages” and why queerness doesn’t belong in a defensive posture.Polyamory + non-monogamy as a spiritual path and what monogamous folks can learn from it.Sex, smut, and the sacred: how hookup culture can be approached with intention instead of shameQueer ritual in plain sight (Fire Island as pilgrimage, weekly rhythms, chosen family as spiritual practice).Taboo topics with tenderness: orgies, douching-as-ritual, and what “purity/contamination” stories do to the soul.Kink, light, and healing and how “taboo” can become a site of liberation.What it can look like to return to (or leave) Christianity with agency after religious trauma.Why progressive spiritual spaces need to define their terms (God, miracle, resurrection) so people feel safe to receive.This is a conversation about queerness as holy, pleasure as portal, and choosing a shame-free spirituality that actually feels like good news.

    Bridging Science & Spirit with Mira Funk

    Send us a text In this episode, Wil sits down with Mira Funk, LCSW (she/her), a Harvard-educated queer, nonbinary psychotherapist and psychedelic guide specializing in 5-MeO-DMT, N,N-DMT, and salvia divinorum. Mira brings a rare “neuroscience geek meets sacred mystery” approach to psychedelic healing and integration—bridging somatic work, nondual spirituality, and practical trauma-informed care. Together, Wil and Mira explore what 5-MeO-DMT is (and what it isn’t), why dosing and context matter so much, and how this medicine can support deep healing—especially around fear, shame, the nervous system, and identity. They also discuss gender liberation, the body’s role in trauma storage and release, and why Mira is passionate about ethical and precise approaches to working with 5-MeO-DMT. In This Episode, We Explore The “geek vs. woo” false split—and why both languages can point to the same mystery5-MeO-DMT vs. N,N-DMT vs. “DMT” as a broader tryptamine familyWhat 5-MeO-DMT can feel like: expansion, presence, release, and the “deep tissue massage” metaphorTrauma-informed step-wise sessions: “dip a toe,” integrate, then gradually deepenThe “full release” / unity-consciousness territory—and why it’s not the only point of healingFear of death, “annihilation anxiety,” and the ripple effects of practicing surrenderWil shares a powerful one-on-one, ritualized death/rebirth experience in an MDMA-assisted therapy sessionPsychedelics and gender exploration: shame, freedom, identity, and the paradox of nonduality + authenticityMira’s experience of gender liberation and family repair—including staying in relationship without abandoning selfRectal administration of 5-MeO-DMT: what it is, how it’s handled ethically/privately, and why it can be uniquely pelvic/root-focused for some peopleA grounded take on “code of reality” laser experiments: perception, priming, meaning-making, and humilityWhy Mira believes 5-MeO-DMT can be a powerful option for both first-timers and experienced psychonauts—when held safelyConnect with Mira Funk Website: https://www.unjourneying.com/ Youtube Channel : https://www.youtube.com/@unjourneying Connect with Wil Website & coaching: https://www.wil-fullyliving.com/ Upcoming Awakened Hearts Group Retreat: https://www.wil-fullyliving.com/events Support the show: If you enjoyed this episode, please follow/subscribe to Queerly Beloved and leave a review—it helps more listeners find the show. 🌈 Share this episode with a friendPost it to your stories (Tag @wilfish99 and he'll repost). Leave a 5-star rating + a few words of love ❤️Support the show

    Discovering Discernment

    Send us a text In this first solo episode of the season, Wil explores discernment- the skill of knowing what’s inner truth and what’s conditioned noise, so you can choose from your center. Using the metaphor of an “inner committee” (intuition, wisdom, higher guidance… plus anxiety, ego, craving, people-pleasing, and trauma responses), Wil breaks down how different inner voices sound, feel, and move in the body. Wil also shares a personal story about a big decision made shortly after an ayahuasca ceremony — a moment when his discernment was vulnerable, his body signaled “no,” and that signal was reframed in a way that led to financial stress and credit card debt. The lesson: not every edge is expansion, and sometimes a “no” is your nervous system’s wisdom doing its job. You’ll leave with practical questions, grounding tools, and a simple body-based practice you can use today — especially when you’re spinning, ruminating, or feeling urgency around a choice. In this episode, we cover: A clear definition of discernment: inner truth vs conditioned noiseA real-life example of discernment getting hijacked (and the cost of ignoring body wisdom)The difference between intuition and anxiety (calm clarity vs urgency and catastrophe)How ego can sound “high standards” but actually be fear of not-enoughnessPeople-pleasing signals (polite, self-erasing, peace-keeping at the cost of truth)Trauma responses (fight/flight/freeze/fawn) and how protectors can be wise but outdatedCraving (sneaky, graspy, “just one more thing and then I’ll be okay” energy)A queer-specific pattern: the proving/belonging hijack (desperation dressed as guidance)Discernment cues to use: Intuition feels calm, simple, grounded, and steady over timeAnxiety feels urgent, spiraling, and catastrophicEgo focuses on image, status, comparison, and proving worthPeople-pleasing prioritizes others’ comfort over your truthTrauma response feels intense, controlling, or numbing/disassociativeCraving bargains and grasps for reassurance, signs, purchases, or certaintyQuestions to support discernment: Does this feel urgent? (Urgency often points to anxiety/craving/trauma response.)Is this coming from love or fear? (And: is it current-day truth or old protection?)Does this move me toward wholeness… or performance?What happens if I wait 24 hours? (Intuition stays steady; anxiety escalates; craving bargains; ego postures; people-pleasing backpedals.)Tiny practice to try today: Hand on chest, hand on belly.Take a slow breath (longer exhale than inhale).Ask: “Which voice is speaking right now?”Get curious — and invite the unhelpful committee members to step out of the boardroom.Closing intention:  Wil invites you into 2026 with more self-trust, more alignment, and more freedom — choosing what’s loving, true, and grounded rather than what’s loud, urgent, or performative.  If you want support cultivating discernment and self-trust in your next chapter, connect with Wil via the links  below to explore coaching/offerings.

    Send us a text In this episode of Queerly Beloved, Wil is joined by Beth Weinstein, a Spiritual Business Coach & Soul Liberation Guide, three-time entrepreneur, certified Master Transformational NLP practitioner, and a leading voice in soul-led business and psychedelic-assisted transformation. Beth has guided hundreds of visionary leaders, changemakers, and psychedelic pioneers to step into their purpose, grow aligned businesses, and serve from a place of deep spiritual integrity. Together, Wil and Beth trace her journey from overworked fashion-industry “modern day slavery” to a life led by ceremony, intuition, and service. They explore soul callings, chanting and chakra work, equinox rituals, and what it really takes — practically and spiritually — to move from a safe-but-soul-crushing career into a business that feels like your true path. In this episode, we explore: Burning Man, ceremony, and drag as sacred liminal spaces for radical self-expression and liberationEquinox ceremonies, the Wheel of the Year, and using seasonal shifts as portals for intention, release, and renewalTime scarcity vs. spaciousness: shifting from “I don’t have time” to “What am I truly prioritizing?”A breakdown in the back of a tuk-tuk, a mysterious illness, and the soul-level question: “Do you want to live or do you want to die?”Practical ways to move from a misaligned job into your calling: planting seeds, staying grounded, getting support, and letting the universe “meet you halfway”What it really means to build a soul-led business — listening to intuition, following synchronicities, and balancing action with surrenderWords as spells: speaking your desires out loud, declaring your path, and letting opportunities and allies show upImagining your purpose if money didn’t exist or the current system collapsed — and orienting your work around service, community, and what your soul is here to giveConnect with Beth Website: https://bethaweinstein.com/ Medicine For These Times podcast: https://bethaweinstein.com/podcast/ Psychedelics, Sacred Medicines, Soul’s Purpose & Business summits: https://bethaweinstein.com/psychedelicsummit/ Connect with Wil Website & coaching: https://www.wil-fullyliving.com/ Retreats, 1:1 coaching, and more ways to go deeper into this work with me Support the show

    Making the Spiritual Political with Yaron “Dashboard” Schweizer

    Send us a text In this final episode of season three of Queerly Beloved, I drop in with Yaron “Dashboard” Schweizer: a community weaver, theatre maker, and director of Chinkapin Craftstead. From kibbutz days to the Eggplant Faerie Players to a hand-built, off-grid life in rural Tennessee, Dashboard has been practicing the art of community living for decades. We start with a conversation about the tender tension of our time: holding grief and rage without losing levity, and how joy can be a sustainable form of resistance. About Our GuestYaron “Dashboard” Schweizer has been committed to community living and organizing—and to theatre acting and directing—for most of their life. They lived on a kibbutz as a young adult, studied acting in New York City, and moved to rural Tennessee in 1994. A former member of the Eggplant Faerie Players, Dashboard toured nationally with multiple shows. In 2004, they and their partner joined friends in a hollow near Woodbury, hand-building their off-grid home. Dashboard now serves as director of Chinkapin Craftstead, a nonprofit queer arts organization uplifting queer, trans, and BIPOC voices. 💚 Other themes we explore:Visible allyship & solidarity: what a keffiyeh signals, showing up thoughtfully, and taking responsibility without collapsing into despair.Community (beyond the buzzword): the gift and the grit—why conflict can be medicine, and how chosen family keeps us brave.From kibbutz to Radical Faeries: homophobia, leaving, arriving, and finding a movement that makes room for your full self.Theatre x ritual x politics: ACT UP echoes, a Fairy Witch coven, ritual theatre, and intergenerational magic at Chinkapin (including the revival of Bar Dykes). Inanna’s descent & Venus cycles: shedding even the identities we love to remember who we are beneath them—and bringing that medicine back to the village.Earth-based spirituality & land: practicing on stolen land, indigenous rights, and why “all liberation is one liberation.Memorable Lines“They’re coming for our bodies—but really, they’re coming for our joy.”“Community that isn’t self-aware can press people down; community at its best lifts us into who we’re becoming.”““Palestinian liberation is the collective tissue of our collective liberation”MentionsRadical Faeries • ACT UP • Bar Dykes • Fairy Witch coven • Inanna / Venus cycle • Chinkapin Craftstead • Eggplant Faerie Players Connect & SupportLearn more about Chinkapin Craftstead - https://www.chinkapincrafts.org/Connect with Wil here- https://www.wil-fullyliving.com/Help me celebrate this final episode of season 3 by leaving a 5 star review! 🙏Support the show

    Remembering Our Multidimensional Selves with A'Sha Love

    Send us a text In this SUPER wu episode of Queerly Beloved, Wil sits down with A’sha Love, a multidimensional guide, speaker, and author who supports healers, empaths, and visionaries in aligning more deeply with their soul’s essence. Her journey began in 2008 after the passing of her father sparked a profound metaphysical awakening, leading her from mediumship and channeling into her current work as a metaphysician. Together we explore:  ✨ Judgment as resistance — how noticing and getting curious about our judgments can reveal the parts of ourselves still asking for love and healing. ✨ Mindful playfulness — the practice of choosing, moment by moment, to bring play into our lives as a path of presence and liberation. ✨ Wounded motivation — recognizing the hidden wounds that can drive our actions, and how to clean them up so we act from clarity, love, and creativity. ✨ Inner Tech Transfer of the Multi-Dimensional Self — A’sha’s powerful teaching on accessing wisdom and abilities from other aspects of our multidimensional being. These topics and many more! This is a deep, playful, and heart-expanding conversation about shadow work, soul remembrance, and the joy of evolving into new expressions of who we are. 🔗 Connect with A’sha at multidimensionalu.com 🔗 Connect with Wil at https://www.wil-fullyliving.com/ Support the show
