Coming Home (with Jennifer DeRuff)

A while back, I was at a workshop, and Jennifer DeRuff performed a spoken-word piece called Coming Home. It touched me pretty deeply - and I wasn’t alone. So I invited Jennifer to try something new on the podcast - instead of a full interview, I invited her to come and perform the piece into a microphone, so we could share it with the wider HAI community. So, who is Jennifer? Among many other things, Jennifer is a writer, a baker, and a magical sparkly being. After an extensive career as a professional pastry chef, she turned her attention towards her personal growth to discover the next chapter of her life. When she found HAI, she knew she'd found a home and new community. Her path led her to become an assistant in HAI workshops, and a life oriented towards service, helping others grow and heal. She also found healing with psychedelics, which has evolved into a new career working with sacred plant medicines as a Minister with the Congregation for Sacred Practices.

Unveiling the Layers (with Marci Graham)

Today, we are thrilled to have a profound conversation with Marci Graham, on the topic of patriarchy and how it is everywhere around us. Marci is one of the HAI facilitators, bringing a unique perspective shaped by her personal journey and professional experiences. This episode promises to be an eye-opening exploration of patriarchy's pervasive influence in our lives, as we delve into her recent reflections sparked by an unexpected source – a movie. Marci's insights extend beyond the screen, touching on deeper issues of gender roles, societal expectations, and personal growth. Join us as we pick apart some of the complexities of the patriarchy with Marci, whose articulate and heartfelt observations challenge us, as always, to see the world - and ourselves - in a new light. This episode is not just a exploration; it's an invitation to introspection and change, as we navigate through the subtleties and overt manifestations of patriarchal influences in our everyday lives. "Being potent in my communication and in my way of loving is deeply entwined with my primary value of inquiry. Being in inquiry with myself and others is a process that challenges any need to be right," Marci says. "Currently the state of our culture has brought me to my knees as I witness the ongoing scourge of how the patriarchy has belittled and minimized women." "My path to facilitation has brought me face to face with tender vulnerability, opening hearts, every emotion, boundaries explored, respectful communication and powerful self knowledge. Witnessing and contributing to these human experiences has honed me," she concludes.

The Fertile Void (with Jaclyn Vouthouris)

They say that there are only two things that are certain in life: Death and taxes. It turns out, you can dodge your taxes, but the other one is harder to avoid. In this episode, we get into a beautiful conversation with our guest Jaclyn Vouthouris, talking about finding solace in the setting of the sun, the changing of the seasons, and all things that die, change, and continue on the cycle once again. Jaclyn Vouthouris is a modern medicine woman with an MBA from MIT, bridging the sacred and the secular. After working in the worlds of finance and entrepreneurship for over a decade, she turned her attention to building a new business paradigm for this next era that harmonizes with the natural world and supports humanity’s reconnection to the web of life. She is passionate about working with intuitive entrepreneurs who are poised to create systemic change, given their enormous influence on what gets built, the quality of people's work lives, and the use of our physical resources. Jaclyn has trained in and continues to be a reverent student of Earth-based practices, rituals, and sacred ceremony, under the guidance of powerful medicine women, such as Marilu Shinn, Qiddist Ashé, Maura Sternberg, and Adya Cadden.
