Wisdom Weavers Felicia Sokol

In this episode, Alev and I dive into the topic of womb work. From the physiological to the more emotional and sacred, all in a grounded and concise and hopefully entertaining way! This episode is not just for women, but for men interested in understanding more about women and of course, where they came from. We all started out in the womb. We all came from a mother. That is a fact.



I've linked a free shareable doc I crafted to help you get in touch with you womb:

Alev was born and raised in the UK, with a rich Turkish and Jewish heritage. She's a birth doula and nutritional therapist, deeply passionate about herbal medicine. Alev lives in her van within a charming off-grid midwifery community in southern Spain.



Her zest for life radiates through her deep connection to her menstrual cycle. It serves as a reminder of her alignment with nature and her innate strength. She firmly believes in the importance of self-sufficiency and empowerment, advocating for a life beyond the conventional healthcare system.



Alev's work revolves around guiding women through their fertility journeys, pregnancy, childbirth, and beyond, empowering them to take control of their own health. She has crafted a menstrual empowerment calendar, called kunti calendar, that's available for purchase and offers support for home births within Spain and Portugal. Additionally, she provides one-on-one online sessions to connect with those who are further away.



Best way right now to get in touch with Alev and potentially work with her is through her instagram @wild.womb or her email: alevmiz@yahoo.com

In this episode, we're joined with Carl-Johan of The Homecoming Son. We dive into topics from the physical to the physiological to the philosophical and spiritual all centered around health and embodiment. Eating, consuming, and existing in a way that is balanced for the body and for the earth. Our roles as shepherds of the earth, stewards of the earth, the polarities of the feminine and masculine, and how men can step into their embodied masculine toward passion, purpose and love. 



@thehomecomingson2.0 is a project started by Carljo Almaraz-Madsen. #thisisthehomecoming is a returning home to working with the ways of nature and the body. When we think of solutions and live them out in our head instead of embodying the practice, we lose track of the reality of our ideas and beliefs. Our ancestors lived their philosophies and very quickly came to the realisation whether the philosophy was increasing wealth, health and happiness or doing the opposite. In today's world we live in the head and rarely revisit the body to check what we are creating in our thoughts, if it is actually the reality we wish to live, and so the homecoming is a returning home to the body to the nature that we are. Carljo believes that truth has to be found in Nature and the more we stray from Nature the less we live truthfully to who we are as Humans.

Hello! It's been a while. Half a year of life taking place and now this podcast is back at the height of the solar light, being reactivated. With more episodes to come. This episode is unique as it's a solocast, a solo podcast. This podcast is really meant to be interviews, and has only been interviews (aside from my introductory episode), but I felt to share something in my heart today that feels relevant to this space, this podcast, you, dear listeners.



This episode dives into the nature of opinion and belief, freedom of speech, leadership, and what a revolution really is.

We have a candid and authentic conversation with Victor DiBono of @blessed_nrg who shares his story and insights. The topics discussed really hit on will power, the evolution of consciousness, and authentic spirituality. I realize i sort of have a little train of this theme going on on this podcast, I guess you can say episodes that are hitting on gnosis, knowledge, and genuine spirituality. Victor decided not to write a little blurb for himself and instead told me to just mention that he’s a normal person with no special gifts, insight, or talents. But I’d argue the contrary, that he seeks to work upon himself and therefore has many insights, just like many of us do. He is sharp and writes beautifully and I found him through his writing, which really struck me- and I’m picky in my taste! He writes a lot on his instagram, which I recommend following and is currently writing a book which I will enjoy reading once I can.

I had the pleasure of having Dave Murphy on the podcast. He and I have known each other in many different settings through 3 different continents. I've got to witness a bit of his transformation from the sidelines as a friend, but I finally got the full story here today. His story is so inspiring... for anyone feeling discouraged in their current career or life and feeling like there may be something more they're meant to do. He's an amazing bridge between the corporate world of  self to the more holistic world of service. 

Born and raised in Sydney Australia, Dave spent 15 years working in brand marketing with some of the most iconic brands all around the world.

While on paper it was a successful career, the further he progressed, the more he felt unfulfilled and disconnected from his true self.

After an incredibly powerful breathwork experience during a retreat in the Netherlands, Dave experimented with breathwork as a means to bring a greater level of clarity and meaning to his own life and immediately experienced its transformative benefits. It helped him not only find clarity in his career, but also release some seriously suppressed emotions from his body that he didn’t even know he was holding onto.

Following his intuition, he went on to complete his HypnoBreathwork certification and today he helps individuals and teams heal unprocessed emotions, release energetic blockages, re-program limiting beliefs and access greater levels of clarity, creativity, confidence and connection.

In this episode, I speak with Tara, an independent midwife in Copenhagen, a wise woman, and a beautiful soul. We tap into an intimate connection with the feminine and what it means to be in alignment with Her in all her dimensions. This episode is like honey, so sweet, tender and nourishing.

Tara Ravn is a traditional midwife working in Copenhagen and the countryside around Copenhagen, including the South of Sweden.

She sees the natural worlds in the pregnant woman, in births and post partum, and sustains the shamanic dimensions between woman, body, midwife and earth, tending to the roots of birth medicine.

The roots of birth medicine are very connected to the healer - both the sacred and the wounded. Deep transitions in life, as becoming a mother evokes many, both bright and dark paths inside the landscape of a woman. The roots of birth calls us to befriend the dark feminine, to be able to de-armour our defenses against intimacy in our culture and in our relations. Birth medicine invites us to be somatically embodied with honesty in our approach of each other, the earth and to our own birth stories.

Tara works with activism around birth culture from the inside out. All the women she witnessed give birth are represented in her own body and it is from there she evokes change. From embodiment, honesty and relation.

Tara trained and educated herself in Denmark, but worked in both Norway and Mexico for a deepening in on nature, tradition and health.

In Tepotzlan/Mexico she learned from Angelina Martinez. With her she deepened in on plants and cacao in birth, post partum rituals and nurturing the woman in the first 40 days after birth.

Naoli Vinaver (currently living in Brazil) introduced her to rebozo & ceremonial birthwork in the community.
