An interview with Courtney Wren-Mabbutt about her family constellation workshops. Family Constellation is powerful tool to use a group setting to explore and heal inherited trauma.

An Interview with author and keynote speaker Maria Kliavkoff about her new book "Healthy Mourning, Happy Loving - 52 ways to convert your grief to mourning".

This interview was done shortly after International Women’s Day. Its an interview with Gitta Ritter about her experience teaching Women’s Personal Safety to women in India over a period of eight years. Ana and Gitta discussed the conditions for women in India and their efforts to improve their lives. Gitta described the challenges women face in India, the things that have been accomplished to improve women’s rights there and the things left to do.
We also talked about our experiences as mature women who lived through the Women’s Liberation Movement and what challenges women are facing in our current times, the impact of pop culture on women and our concerns about how far we haven’t come since the 60’s.

This week we shared our experiences in doing a couple of shamanic journeys with shaman Tommy Hopkins. The original reason for launching down this particular rabbit hole was because Ana has finally divorced herself from her toxic parents. Although she had said goodbye she was having a hard time feeling clear of their energy. In shamanic terms Tommy explains this as “cords” of energy that frequently tie us to our family. Carolyn Myss has quite a bit of material on this topic if you’d like to learn more about this but suffice it to say that Ana was wanting to sever the cords of connection to her parents and she asked Tommy for help. In this show we described the process and the outcome of that journey and a subsequent one by Jeff.

This week was a further conversation with an unconventional priest named Peter Fritsch. He talked about his spiritual approach, how he became a priest, and a bit about his dream analysis and workshops using your favourite fairy tale!

We did this show after returning home from the Christmas and New Years holidays spent with family. It was apparent after having been away that perspective allows you to see some pretty toxic patterns. We shared some of our own stories in the hopes that it helps you get some clarity on your own family's dysfunction.
