    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/

    Michael Sherlock  | Slow Down to Be Present | Sacred Sundays

    What if the most powerful thing an elder can do is simply step back and hold the space while everything unfolds? In this conversation with Michael Sherlock, ritual elder, IFS therapist, and lifelong student of ceremony, we explore what it means to grow into eldership not as a title you claim but as a presence the community calls forward. Michael shares how his mentors walked him toward a way of being that had less to do with wisdom and more to do with getting out of the way. We talk about the lodge ceremony, intentional suffering as a form of purification, and the nuanced conversation around indigenous ceremony and non-indigenous participation that deserves to be held with care and honesty. Our conversation moves through men's work, the patriarchy as a cage for men as much as anyone, and what actually shifts when a man sits in circle for the first time and realizes he is genuinely safe. Michael also speaks to his Sufi practice, internal family systems, and the thread that runs through all of it, releasing identity, releasing knowing, and dropping from the head into the heart. He reflects on the child still trying to drive the bus, the parts of us that think we are still eight years old, and why slowing down is not a loss of ground but a deepening of presence. Breathe in the sacred world around you. Breathe out your own divine light.

    Nina Fields | Tuning In, Not Tuning Out | Sacred Sundays

    What if the anxiety, the pain, and the restlessness are not problems to be solved but invitations to come home? In this conversation with Nina Fields, registered therapeutic counsellor, intuitive healer, and lifelong Buddhist practitioner, we explore what it means to hold space for another person's healing without trying to do it for them. Nina shares how her own path through difficult transitions, a challenging childhood, divorce, and single parenthood shaped her into a practitioner of deep resilience and quiet presence. We talk about somatic therapy, why the body holds truths the mind keeps trying to talk over, and how slowing down is not a loss of productivity but the very gateway to wisdom. Our conversation moves through Buddhist philosophy, the practice of staying here, improv as a tool for presence, and the intuitive gifts Nina has learned to trust in her work with clients. She speaks to the craving beneath all suffering, the difference between checking in and checking out, and why anxiety is not an enemy but a dinner bell calling you back to yourself. We also explore what it means to build a healing space rooted in nature, community, and the quiet conviction that people already carry everything they need. Slow down. Take a breath. Let whatever arises, arise. In this moment, you are already okay.

    Barry Samson | Soma Knows | Sacred Sundays

    What if the part of you that has always known the answer has simply been waiting for you to stop drowning it out? In this returning conversation with Barry Samson, we go deeper into the heart of his writing project and the concept he calls Soma, the ancient wisdom that lives in the body and speaks to us in the simplest possible language. Yum and yuck. Move toward or move away. Barry makes the case that our emotional apparatus is not a chaotic weather system to be managed but a navigational architecture so precise that if we follow it, flourishing is not just possible but inevitable. We talk about the nervous breakdown that finally made him stop and listen, and why he now considers Soma not just a guide but a tyrant he trusts completely. Our conversation moves into relational projects, feedback, and why connection can only deepen through honesty rather than niceness. Barry speaks to the power of pods as a space where multiple nervous systems reflect the truth back to one person at once, and why that geometry makes the saboteur nearly impossible to hide behind. We also explore how clean relationships are the single highest leverage point for anyone in distress, and what it means to be a relational agent rather than a relational victim. This is a conversation about the architecture already inside you, waiting to be followed home. She whispers before she shouts. Follow her instructions and you flourish. Defy them and you suffer. That is the whole menu. Guest Name: Barry Samson www.emotionalwind.org Check out Ross Tayler's work at https://www.rosstayler.com/

    Alanna Brennan | Whose Peace Are You Keeping? | Sacred Sundays

    What if the voice you lost wasn't taken from you all at once, but quietly silenced one unspoken no at a time? In this conversation with Alanna Brennan, sound healer, voice coach, and founder of Womb Reclamation, we explore the profound connection between the voice and the body's two centers of creation. Alanna shares how the sacral and the throat are not separate systems but one, and why everything we have been unable to say eventually shows up in the body as pain, tension, or breakdown. We talk about the body as a keeper of truth, why the fascia holds memory, and what becomes possible when we stop asking the mind to lead and start listening to what the body has known all along. Our conversation moves through boundaries, anger, sound as medicine, and the long journey from people pleasing to authentic power. Alanna speaks to her own experience of physical crisis as the moment her body finally forced the no she couldn't yet choose, and what happened to her voice once she started setting boundaries. We explore why humming, toning, and chanting are not just spiritual tools but physiological ones, how sound can alchemize a scream into something sovereign, and why the path back to yourself runs straight through the places you have been most afraid to go. You are the divine. Sound is you as the creator, creating. Come back into the body. It has been waiting.

    Darrell Greenwood | Playing in the Destiny | Sacred Sundays

    What if the chaos you survived was never the obstacle to your gifts, but the very thing that forged them? In this conversation with Darrell Greenwood, author of the multidimensional storybook Lantern on the Longship, we explore what it means to be a highly sensitive person moving through a world that rarely makes room for that. Darrell shares his journey from a childhood wired for feeling everything, through years of unconscious coping, into a committed healing path anchored in breathwork, nature, and the courage to go into the darkness and come back with something to offer. We talk about the body as a library, the stories stored in our chest long before we have words for them, and what becomes available when we finally stop running from what we feel. Our conversation moves into quantum physics, multidimensionality, emotional regulation, and the quiet revolution of choosing love over victimhood when the pressure is at its highest. Darrell speaks to the clean slate that greets us every morning, the medicine of bare feet in the grass, and why discipline reframed through imagination becomes something we want rather than something we endure. He also reflects on what it means to do your inner work not just for yourself but for the entire lineage behind you and the collective ahead. Sit down. Close your eyes. Let the breath find its way into the belly and the heart. That is the key. It has always been with you.
