This week’s show is with Richard Nikoley. Richard was born and raised in Reno, Nevada, the son of a German immigrant. He attended a private, church-run high school before moving on to Tennessee Temple University in Chattanooga for his first year of college. He later transferred to Oregon State University, where he graduated in 1984 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, along with minors in mathematics/computer science and naval science. During his time at OSU, he was a member of the NROTC unit and was commissioned as a Surface Warfare Officer (SWO) in the U.S. Navy upon graduation.
Richard’s naval career began with eight months of training in San Diego, California, followed by a deployment to Yokosuka, Japan. There, he served on the USS REEVES (CG-24) from 1984 to 1987 in various roles, including Assistant Missiles Officer, First Lieutenant, and Electrical Officer. He then joined the U.S. SEVENTH FLEET aboard the USS BLUE RIDGE (LCC-19) from 1988 to 1989, managing a substantial fuel budget as Assistant Fleet Scheduling Officer and Assistant Logistics Officer.
After five years in Japan, Richard moved to Monterey, California, to study French at the Defense Language Institute. This led to an exchange officer position with the French Navy from 1989 to 1992, where he served as Navigator on the FNS COLBERT (C 611) and FNS DUQUESNE (D 603). He left the Navy in 1992 and returned to the San Francisco Bay Area.
In 1993, Richard founded a company that grew significantly over a 20-year period. Although he was married for much of that time, since 2019, he and his former spouse have maintained a friendly relationship while pursuing separate lifestyles.
Since January 2020, Richard has been living in Thailand as an unintended expat. Initially planning to be digital and nomadic, he decided to settle more permanently due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During this time, he built a house in a rural province and wrote extensively about COVID-19, masks, lockdowns, and global drug trials - earning recognition for his insights.
Currently, Richard manages multiple income streams while engaging in various creative pursuits. He writes, makes videos, takes long walks, swims and snorkels in the tropical ocean, rides a motorcycle without a helmet, and enjoys cooking and eating exquisite food. A self-proclaimed gym junkie and honorary "Bro," Richard is known for his clever and well-crafted writing.
In this show, Richard and Lian explore the intricate connections between community, diet, and the microbiome, weaving together science, storytelling, and spirituality.
They delve into how inner and outer communities shape human experience and how ancestral diets can connect us to the wisdom of the past.
They reflect on the distortions of industrial society, the transformative power of dietary choices, a shamanic perspective on consumption and well-being, and the mysterious interplay between nutrition and our psyche.
We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.
What you’ll learn from this episode:The microbiome is more than a physical system - it’s a dynamic ecosystem influenced by diet, community, and the stories we tell about ourselves. Understanding and honouring this interplay can lead to profound transformation.
By adopting practices, like eating more fibre and cooking and cooling starchy foods for resistant starch, we can support gut health and reconnect with natural ways of eating that shaped human evolution.
What we eat can shape not only our physical health but also the content of our dreams, illuminating symbols for self discovery - which suggests a greater link between our food and our psyche than is generally discussed.

This week’s show is with Sarah Janes. Author, researcher, curator, retreat/workshop facilitator and public speaker, Sarah Janes specialises in the ancient history and culture of dreaming and has been an enthusiastic lucid dreamer since childhood. Sarah is passionate about the potential of dreaming for physical, emotional, creative and spiritual upliftment, not just for individuals, but for culture and society.
Sarah is co-director and curator of Dream Palace Athens, a symposium and deep-dreaming residency project in Greece. She is also the host of popular online lecture series Explorers Egyptology. Sarah has collaborated with Rupert Sheldrake and the British Pilgrimage Trust to reinvigorate the practice of dream incubation at sacred sites around the UK.
Currently leading retreats to the ancient dream incubation sanctuaries of the Mediterranean, Sarah is now based between Hastings in England and Archaia Epidavros in the Peloponnese.
Sarah’s book: Initiation into Dream Mysteries: Drinking from the Pool of Mnemosyne explores the history and culture of dreaming in the Western Esoteric Tradition and is available from all book sellers and on Audible.
In this show, Sarah and Lian delve into the profound world of dreams and lucid dreaming, exploring how these altered states of consciousness shape our understanding of reality. They discuss Sarah’s lifelong passion for dreaming, the philosophical implications of lucidity, and the potential for personal growth and transformation within the dream realm.
They explore the connection between lucid dreaming and hypnagogic states, highlight the transformative nature of these experiences, and share practical techniques for achieving lucidity. Together, they reflect on the role of ancient wisdom in dream practices, consider the cosmic perspective lucid dreaming provides, and emphasise the significance of memory and intention in shaping our dream experiences.
We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.
What you’ll learn from this episode:Dreams offer a unique intersection of sleep and wakefulness, providing a space for insight and creativity that taps into our deepest desires and fears. Through lucid dreaming, we can actively engage with these elements for self discovery.
Hypnagogic states, those transitional moments between wakefulness and sleep, can be used as a pathway into lucid dreaming, allowing us to consciously enter the dream realm. In this state, we are connected to ancient cultural practices that viewed dreams as essential tools for decision-making and self-understanding.
Lucid dreaming is not simply a binary experience but can manifest in varying degrees of awareness - lucidity is a spectrum. By setting intentions, practicing memory recall, and recording dreams, we can deepen our understanding and appreciation of the dream world as a transformative and healing space.

This week’s show is with Aidan Wachter, an animist, author, and healer. Aidan has been involved in practical magic since the 1980s. He is an animist and is deeply concerned with the effects of modern Western life-ways on the human animal, on both physical and spiritual levels.
Aidan views a living magical practice as a path to heal many of the problems we face today and a way of being that is intrinsic to the creatures we are. He is the author of Six Ways: Approaches & Entries to Practical Magic and Weaving Fate: Hypersigils, Changing the Past & Telling True Lies, and Changeling: A Book Of Qualities.
In this episode, Aidan and Lian explore the concept of vessels in magic and witchcraft - and especially vessels for self-discovery and transformation.
Aidan reveals lessons from a significant breakdown - which he sees now was catalysed by the very work of his book Changeling - which is about this notion of vessels.
They discuss the fluid nature of identity, examine the qualities that define a witch, and consider the role of power in personal growth and the impact of reclaiming our energy from misaligned places.
We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.
What you’ll learn from this episode:A vessel isn’t just a container—it’s a channel that holds and directs energy, shaping the flow of our lives and the choices that define us. What we choose to hold within shapes our identity and anchors us in life.
Power, often viewed as corrupting, becomes transformative when consciously claimed. For a witch, power is an inner resource to guide growth, create change, and hold responsibility.
Honouring our ancestors roots us in a lineage that offers wisdom, invites healing across generations, and strengthens our connection to purpose.

This week’s show is with Anthony Metivier. Anthony is the founder of the Magnetic Memory Method, a systematic, 21st Century approach to memorising foreign language vocabulary, names, music, poetry and much more in ways that are easy, elegant, effective and fun.
In this show, Anthony and Lian explore the profound themes of memory, identity, and spiritual practice.
They delve into the intricate nature of memory, exploring its definitions, implications, and the philosophical questions surrounding it. Anthony shares his fascination with memory science, the various types of memory, and the metaphorical engines that contribute to our experiences. They discuss the limitations of language and metaphors in understanding memory, the relationship between memory and consciousness, and the idea of reincarnation through language and memory. The conversation highlights the complexity of memory as both a scientific and philosophical topic, emphasising the importance of questioning and exploring rather than seizing definitive answers.
We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.
What you’ll learn from this episode:Memory is often overlooked in spiritual discussions despite its significance, and yet, it is a powerfully transformative process that shapes both personal identity and our understanding of existence, offering profound insights when explored scientifically, philosophically and spiritually.
Techniques like the memorisation of spiritual texts and conscious engagement with myths can deepen our awareness and connection to the wisdom in these texts and stories in potent ways.
Philosophical inquiries into memory can reveal hidden aspects of the self, supporting healing and maybe even awakening through the exploration of the role of implicit memory and identity.

This week’s show is with Sasha Archer. Sasha is a hands-on healer and creatrix based in Leicestershire, UK. For over a decade, she worked as a footwear designer for the UK high street, until her anxiety led her down a different path. As she underwent her own healing journey and delved deeper into working with spirit, she uncovered more of the unknown than she was prepared for.
Seeking a mentor and guidance, she was fortunate to be awarded a bursary by Jez Hughes of Second Sight healing, allowing her to pursue her training as a shamanic practitioner. After completing the three-year course in 2023, she began offering individual and group healing sessions, integrating her training, personal healing journey, and the wisdom imparted by her guides.
Recently, Sasha took part in the Hay House Diverse Wisdom writing initiative, collaborating with renowned authors to share her book idea and develop a book proposal. She’s currently writing a book that supports readers in their healing journey, helping them to reclaim their personal power so they can live a radiant and authentic life.In this show, Sasha and Lian explored Sasha’s profound journey of understanding and healing anxiety through earth-based spirituality.
Sasha reflects on her early experiences with anxiety, the impact it had on her life, and the pivotal moments that led her to explore healing beyond the mainstream.
They discuss the significance of intuition and synchronicity, reflect on the healing power of the earth, and emphasise the importance of inclusivity and accessibility in healing practices.
We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.
What you’ll learn from this episode:As Sasha’s story shows… anxiety can be understood and worked with, not just overcome.
Sasha's intuitive connection to the earth helped her reclaim her power - and this is true for almost all of us.
We often receive undeniable signs from spirit that can guide us… we need to learn to trust those synchronicities and follow them.

This week’s show is with Rod Boothroyd. Rod brings more than two decades’ experience of working with men and women to his current work as a Healing The Shadow practitioner.
Rod’s career in the area of human potential started with his training in Transactional Analysis psychotherapy at the Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy in 1999. Since then he has taken further training in Integrative Psychotherapy, worked with the ManKind Project UK and Ireland (where he was a Primary Integration Training leader), and researched in depth the art of working with, and reintegrating, the human shadow. He is now working as a one-to-one coach and therapist, and is also a supervisor with Healing The Shadow, an organisation devoted to emotional healing and the development of human potential.
In this show, Rod and Lian explore the profound themes of archetypes and leadership.
Rod shares his own journey into archetypal work began after a midlife crisis, the impact of the Mankind Project, and the significance of the four archetypes: the King or heart-centered leader, the Warrior or action taker, the Magician, and the Lover.
They discuss the universal nature of these archetypes, their relevance to both men and women, and how to harness their power on the journey of healing and embodying one's true self.
We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.
What you’ll learn from this episode:These four archetypes are universal, and go beyond gender or culture, you don’t have to use the tradition names if different names resonate more deeply for you
These archetypes can be intuitively felt and understood when we are ready and open to them.
The four archetypes provide a framework for self-illumination, healing, and growth, in a way that goes beyond a theoretical understanding of them - it could even be described as magical!

They delve into the historical context of psychedelics, the importance of reclaiming ancient practices, and the future prospects for legalisation and acceptance in society.
They reflect on the need for a balanced approach to psychedelics, advocating for microdosing as a means to navigate the current challenges while seeding a deeper understanding of the spiritual potential of these substances.
We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.
What you’ll learn from this episode:Many people are feeling a deep calling towards psychedelics, and at the same time, censorship and legal challenges are increasing in the psychedelic space, and are part of the landscape to navigate.
The journey of psychedelics is intertwined with personal and collective evolution - as ever, what’s most personal is most universal.
As much as there is a trend to medicalise and psychologise psychedelics, it’s important to remember that at their heart - they open us to the spiritual.

What you need to know about awakening… it’s not all love and light!
This week's show is with Dr. Daniel M. Ingram, MD MSPH, a retired emergency medicine physician who works to improve the global relationship of science, clinical practice, mental health and the public to the phenomena that might be referred to as spiritual, meditative, energetic, mystical, psychedelic, magical, and related phenomena.To those ends, he is currently the founder, philanthropic supporter, and volunteer CEO and Board Chair of the Emergence Benefactors registered charity, and chief organiser and co-founder of the global Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium.
He is currently involved in neurophenomenological research of advanced meditative states with colleagues at Harvard and has been a participant in numerous fMRI and EEG studies of advanced meditators, including at Harvard, Yale, U Mass, and Vanderbilt. He has published scientific articles in Pediatrics, Child Abuse and Neglect, and the Journal of Medical Toxicology. He is the author of Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha, co-author of The Fire Kasina, and co-founder of the Dharma Overground. His work has been featured in The New York Times, Esquire, Vice, Wired, BBC Radio 4, Evolving Dharma, American Dharma: Buddhism Beyond Modernity, Dan Harris’ 10% Happier Podcast, Slate Star Codex Blog, Buddha at the Gas Pump, Meaning of Life TV, Deconstructing Yourself, Spiritual Explained website, Guru Viking, Buddhist Geeks, Cosmic Tortoise, Startup Geometry, Imperfect Buddha Podcast, and many others.
In this conversation, Lian and Daniel explored the challenges and pitfalls associated with spiritual awakening, particularly the dark nights of the soul that many seekers face on their path.
This is ancient wisdom that in some modern western spheres has been forgotten and is now being remembered - which you’ll hear can be surprisingly controversial.
We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.
What you’ll learn from this episode:Spiritual awakening can lead to significant challenges and disruptions in life - historical texts have long acknowledged the challenges of spiritual practices.
Recognising this means we can seek traditions that include guidance and remedies for difficult experiences.
Community support and normalisation of experiences can help individuals feel less isolated in their difficult spiritual experiences, and provide help in navigating them.

This week’s show is with Janet Hill. Janet is a modern day medicine woman, a teacher of ancient ways and a bridge between the worlds.
Janet is deeply attuned to the overwhelming sense of unease that is part of modern life - especially for mothers. Her work is devoted to helping mums make profound changes in their lives by learning how to access support from nature, spirit, and ancestral wisdom.
The Rooted Mother is the name of Janet’s business, but it also describes her philosophy and way of being in the world. Through this work, she guides mothers through a soul journey of deep transformation so they can access deep nourishment to become the mothers they long to be.
Currently, Janet offers her healing work to women on their mothering journey through tarot ceremonies, healings, and individual coaching.
Janet is the co-creator of The Cherished Mother, where Kate and Janet guide women on a devotional healing journey through their wounds, fears and longings to wholeness.
In this show, Janet and Lian explored the profound journey of transformation from a depressed and fearful accountant to adeeply rooted medicine woman, that Janet has undergone over the past four years with Be Mythical.
They discuss the initial fears and darkness Janet faced, particularly surrounding her calling to become a coach and then a shamanic healer, and how, as she began to uncover her patterns, she gained a deeper understanding of herself.
The conversation delves into the impact of significant losses in Janet's life, her understanding of spirituality, her shamanic sickness, and how her wounds have shaped her ability to heal others.
They also touch on the importance of motherhood and the connection to the earth and the elements in healing, emphasising the need for deeper spiritual connections in today's world - for all of us, not just those of here to guide and heal others.
We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.
What you’ll learn from this episode:Descending into our deepest wounds and facing our fears can lead to profound understanding and healing. The darkness we fear can become our greatest teacher.
As Janet’s story shows, an echo of the archetype of the Wounder Healer, understanding one's own wounds is often essential for healing others.
Discovering and embracing our unique path can be the only way to self-gnosis and healing for some of us - as was the case for Janet.

This week’s show is with Vanya Leilani. Vanya is a depth psychologist, writer, teacher and storyteller. She has spent decades exploring the threshold where the external “shoulds” in our lives encounter our own wild knowing and un-knowing. She is passionate about helping us cultivate deeper friendship with our own lives as we learn to live from nature, rather than from obedience to the status quo. She devotes herself to this work through individual accompaniment, sacred gatherings, storytelling, teaching, and writing.
Vanya holds a PhD in Depth Psychology with emphasis in Jungian and Archetypal Studies. She has also completed a certificate training intensive with Dr Clarissa Pinkola Estes and has served as an adjunct professor at Pacifica Graduate Institute teaching on the creative power of archetypes.
Vanya was born and raised in southeastern Brazil and currently lives in the woods of the Pacific Northwest of the United States, where she tends to the land and many animals.
'The Flesh and the Fruit: Remembering Eve and the Power of Creative Transgression' by Vanya Leilani will launch on October 11th 2024 with pre-orders available from the webshop. Vanya Leilani remembers the story of Eve in the Garden of Eden, not only exposing the harmful ways it has been used, but more importantly, uncovering what is hidden in this story: the Goddess in the Garden, along with her ways of being and knowing.
In this conversation, Lian and Vanya explore the archetype of Eve, challenging traditional narratives that have painted her as a symbol of guilt and shame.
They discuss the cultural implications of Eve's story, the importance of reclaiming her as a figure of empowerment, and the concept of transgression as a means to sovereignty.
Vanya shares her personal journey of connecting with Eve, emphasising the need for women to embrace their desires and step beyond societal boundaries.
This episode is a call to recognise and reclaim Eve's medicine, which lies in her duality of carrying both our wounds and our healing.
We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.
What you’ll learn from this episode:Eve is often misrepresented as a symbol of guilt and shame, and the narrative around her has profound implications, both collectively and personally, and both consciously and subconsciously, regardless of our background.
Reclaiming Eve is perhaps essential for women's empowerment, allowing us to question the cultural narratives that shape our understanding of femininity and spirituality.
Eve's medicinal story invites us to step beyond cultural boundaries, to remember our true selves and our spiritual sovereignty.

All The Everything is Lian’s monthly solo show where she often shares what she’s been creating, consuming, and celebrating before diving deep into a topic inspired or chosen by members of the Be Mythical fb group.
The LIVE making of the show is recorded in our Facebook group and for the first 30 minutes before Lian hits the record button you are invited to a pre-show party to get up close and personal with Lian and have your questions on the month’s topic answered.
To receive a reminder of when the pre-show party and LIVE making of All The Everything is happening, make sure you’re subscribed to our email list and are a member of the Facebook group. All the details you need are HERE!
This show begins by Lian telling a soul-stirring story of The Sacred Prostitute from the book of the same name by Nancy Qualls-Corbett.
Lian then invites listeners to notice and explore the thoughts, feelings, and sensations that were evoked for them personally by the story, before moving into speaking about some of the universal themes, such as fear, repulsion, objectification, desire, and receptivity activated by this archetype, and how to work with them.
We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.
What you’ll learn from this episode:The Sacred Prostitute evokes such deep collective themes that she can be an incredible potent archetype for showing us where our work lies - notice and honour what she brings up for you
The Sacred Prostitute requires a deep level of maturity and individuation to work with deeply - Lian emphasises the importance of doing the foundational healing work and journeying through other archetypes before devoting to work with the Sacred Prostitute because she is such a magnet for fantasy and projection.
Receptivity is a key aspect of the Sacred Prostitute archetype, but it is often misunderstood and undervalued in our culture, which of course is why it’s so needed, powerful and medicinal when we do experience it.

This week’s show is with Jonathan Horwitz. Jonathan was born in the USA and has lived in Scandinavia for over half his life. He has been actively working with shamanism since 1972, was a teacher and field researcher at the Foundation for Shamanic Studies for 10 years and has a master’s degree in anthropology.
In 1986, Jonathan co-founded the Scandinavian Center for Shamanic Studies and has been teaching internationally ever since, in Russia, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Belgium, Sweden and the UK. He has been a frequent contributor to Sacred Hoop magazine and served for some years as European Editor for Journal of Shamanic Practice. He lives with his partner Zara in the woods of southern Sweden at Åsbacka, their home and retreat center.
Jonathan is known for his grounded, present and warm teaching style. He sees shamanism as a spiritual path and his main focus is shamanic healing, spiritual ecology and shamanic community work. As a teacher, he feels his role is to help people find the road to the Spirit world, encourage them to accept the power offered, and learn how to bring power back to the physical world.Shamanism is about life. Life is change. Shamanism is change with power.
In this show, Jonathan and Lian explore the topic of learning from spirit teachers.
They begin with Jonathan’s own story of attempting to live a more conventional life before realising that it wasn’t his true path, that alongside some profound and also disruptive experiences, led him to explore the spiritual realms.
Jonathan also discusses discovering his path of shamanism through his friend, well-known shamanic teacher and author, Michael Harner, which went on to inspire him to embrace the practice of learning from spirit teachers.
Lian and Jonathan spoke about the transition from learning from human teachers to spirit teachers, stressing the need for patience, trust, and openness in this ongoing process, which can last a lifetime!
We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.
What you’ll learn from this episode:Working with spirit teachers requires patience, trust, and openness to learn their language and receive their teachings - they may not come in the form we expect or want
The transition from learning from human teachers to learning from spirit teachers is a natural progression in the shamanic path, though it’s one we can either rush towards or resist.
The teachings from spirit teachers are vast and endless, and there is always more to learn.

This week’s show is with Jessica DiRuzza MFT. Jessica is a depth psychotherapist, astrologer, and teacher, as well as a wife, and badass mama. For over 15 years, she has worked lovingly and collaboratively with individuals, couples, and groups on their embodied transformative journeys. Her life’s calling is to integrate the insights and wisdom of astrology and psychology to support humans living the most meaningful lives they can with the precious time they have here. She offers sessions online with people from around the world and from all walks of life.
Jessica received her Master’s in Counselling Psychology with an emphasis in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute, where she wrote her thesis on shame and the reclamation of the feminine voice. She earned her bachelor’s from California Institute of Integral Studies where she studied and taught archetypal astrology and transpersonal psychology. Together with her husband, Travis, they co-founded Trust Psyche School of Astrology and Depth Psychology, which offers a full astrological curriculum, from beginner to professional, with a beloved community of students from over 25 countries. They would love for you to come live astrology with them.
In this episode, Jessica delves into her fascinating journey of intertwining astrology and psychology, revealing how these two disciplines—astrology as the language of the sky and psychology as the language of the soul—are profoundly interconnected. She shares how her experiences with psychedelics sparked a deeper exploration into astrology and depth psychology, emphasising the transformative power of uniting these fields to better understand one's purpose and navigate life's challenges and uncertainties. Lian shares her own return to astrology and together, they explore how astrology provides profound insights into identity, purpose, and relationships.
This discussion offers a unique perspective on embracing one's individuality and making conscious soulful choices through the lens of astrology.
We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.
What you’ll learn from this episode:Astrology is the language of the sky and psychology is the language of the soul, and they are deeply interconnected - providing maps of the macrocosm and microcosm - as above, so below.
Uniting, or perhaps re-uniting, astrology and psychology offers a powerful framework for understanding our deepest identities, life purposes, and how we can more consciously navigate challenges.
Astrological charts can offer profound insights into who we are, including potential neurodivergent traits. There’s so much wisdom available in a chart, that just focusing on one aspect, as you heard in this episode with Lian’s Libra stellium, can provide a deeper understanding, allowing for making more informed decisions and cultivating a more authentic, expressed life.

This week’s show is with returning guest Mike Bais. Mike is a physiotherapist, counselor, university lecturer and author, also having had his own practice for many years. He is a trained priest in the esoteric christian tradition, which lead him to follow the mystical side of this lineage called the A.S.A. (Apostolic Succession of Arimathea). He believes that the Teachings of Christ are universal and should not be limited to a religious structure.
His esoteric training comes from the western mystery tradition and the Toledano Kabbalah. Living in the Netherlands (Utrecht) he extensively worked with teachers and groups in the UK.
After some decades of study and practice in the western esoteric tradition, the inner work came together in these three streams or disciplines that make up the Circle of Avalon.
Mike sees it as his life’s work to teach these traditions to whomever wishes to receive them. He is a mystic and teacher by nature and through his groups, individual sessions, workshops and writing, transmits them in the most pure and true way he knows.
Mike is the author of 3 books: Paths on the Tree of Wisdom – A course in 21st Century Kabbalah, A Kabbalistic view on science: Book 1 and A Kabbalistic view on science: Book 2.
In this show, Mike and Lian discuss the power of myths, legends, and archetypes on the path of the soul.
Mike shares his own journey of discovering the importance of myths and working with the round table mythology.
They also discuss the cultural conditioning that dismisses the role of myth and the need to reclaim its relevance in our lives. They explore how archetypes can be used as guides on our individual quests and how they can help us navigate different aspects of our lives.
We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.
What you’ll learn from this episode:Cultural conditioning often dismisses the role and relevance of myth, but it is important to reclaim its significance in our lives - working with myths and archetypes allows us to access deeper dimensions of ourselves and explore what is possible beyond societal limitations. Myths have the power to inspire and guide us in our personal growth and spiritual transformation.
Although there is an objective aspect to archetypes, subjective experience is an essential aspect of working with archetypes, and it is important to embrace the subjective nature of these experiences. Trust and honour that subjectivity by finding a myth that resonates with you as a first step.
The interplay between different archetypes and the relationships between them are crucial in understanding their power and significance - this is part of why working with archetypes within a community or group can amplify their potency and create a deeper sense of connection and understanding.

This week’s show is with Jessica DiRuzza MFT. Jessica is a depth psychotherapist, astrologer, and teacher, as well as a wife, and badass mama. For over 15 years, she has worked lovingly and collaboratively with individuals, couples, and groups on their embodied transformative journeys. Her life’s calling is to integrate the insights and wisdom of astrology and psychology to support humans living the most meaningful lives they can with the precious time they have here. She offers sessions online with people from around the world and from all walks of life.
In this episode, Lian and Jessica go unexpectedly deep on the topic of neurodivergent parents, parents of ND children, and really, so much of what they spoke about is relevant to all parents who are devoted to honouring their own and their children’s wild souls.
They’d actually planned to record on a completely different topic (astrology and psychotherapy - which they’ve now recorded too!) but within two minutes of getting on the call, Lian mentioned that she’d seen that they’re both autistic, they began sharing their own experiences and that with their children that brought tears to their eyes.
They realised that it was the topic they needed to speak about first - and it turned out to be an incredible and moving episode, that went in some deep, painful, and thought-provoking places… places that bring us face to face with our conditioning and wounding… places that we believe anyone on the path of soul needs to go at some point, ND or not.
They explored the journey of self-discovery and acceptance of being autistic, and how it relates to individuation, parenting and ancestral healing, and the role of parents in breaking the cycle of masking, misunderstanding and abuse, and promoting unconditional love and acceptance.
We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.
What you’ll learn from this episode:Creating a safe and accepting environment for neurodivergent children to be themselves is crucial for their well-being and growth but we also need to go first as parents, and devote to a journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance for ourselves too.
One of the most challenging aspects of this journey is understanding that being true to oneself can have impacts and consequences - learning discernment is important.
When we are able to love and accept ourselves as neurodivergent people, we are healing our lineage too, the generations that came before us and will come after us.

This week’s show is with Be Mythical co-founders, Lian Brook-Tyler and Jonathan Wilkinson.
In this conversation, a special 10-year episode of the podcast, Lian and Jonathan reflect on their journey, including the deep unfolding of the show itself, and answer listener questions posed to each of them.
They discuss the organic and spontaneous nature of starting the podcast and the importance of trusting their intuition, the dedication and vision it has taken to be consistent over so many years.
The personal and thought-provoking questions they asked and answered were:
If you had to drop all your different practices and only keep one - what would it be and why?
Looking back on the past 10 years, what are you most proud of? And is there anything you regret or would like to have done differently?
If you could give one piece of guidance to a young man who is struggling with life, what would it be?
What is something about you that you’ve rarely or never spoken about publicly before that you feel ready to speak about now?
If you could go back in time 10 years ago and tell yourself something at the outset of this podcasting journey what would that be?
If you could whisper into everyone’s ear in the world at the same time in whatever their language is what would that be?
What was the most powerful experience of your life?
Where is the most magical place you have been?
If you were trapped on a desert island what one item, spiritual or not, would you bring?
In responding to these questions, Jonathan and Lian talked about the power of vision quests and the impact they can have on personal growth and maturity, the concept of mirrors and how they can provide deep self-reflection, finding beauty in suffering, and the magic of the English land.
The conversation concludes with a powerful message of love and self-discovery.
We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.
What you’ll learn from this episode:Looking back on the reason the podcast began shows the importance of trusting intuition and following the organic and spontaneous nudges that show up along the way.
Many of their answers came back to the importance of self-discovery and the different ways we can walk the path of knowing thyself
And now a question for you, the listener, imagine if you could be transported in time to a decade into the future and take a look at your future self, living your own soul’s truth… What would you see? And what does that require of you now?

This week’s show is with Chris Lüttichau. Chris is the founder of Northern Drum Shamanic Centre, a UK-based educational organisation offering a renewed perspective on traditional shamanic and medicine teachings, and a safe grounding from which to learn them established in 1998.
Chris is the keeper of an integral body of teachings that he shares in workshops and ongoing training groups. The teachings cover a broad range of topics from healing and the art of dreaming to spirit contact and the way of the council. Chris is the author of the critically acclaimed book on shamanism ‘Calling Us Home – Find Your Path, Your Balance and Your Inner Strength’ published in 2017 and ‘Animal Spirit Guides: Discover your Power Animal and the Shamanic Path’ published 2009. He is an international teacher, and has appeared on TV on BBC 1, and in Denmark on TV2, and has given radio interviews in the USA, Canada, and the UK.
In this show, Chris and Lian explored the intersection of shamanism and working with myths and archetypes.
They discuss the power of myths to reveal truth and teach us about ourselves and the universe. They also delve into the different ways that myths are understood in Western Vs. shamanic cultures, with the Western perspective often viewing myths as symbolic archetypes and the shamanic perspective seeing them as living, magical stories.
They highlight the importance of relating to myths from the heart and intuition rather than the analytical mind, and the role of myths in guiding us to live in harmony and prepare for death.
Overall, Lian and Chris invite listeners to build a bridge into the mythical reality.

What you’ll learn from this episode:Myths are powerful stories that reveal truth and teach us about ourselves and the universe, and can guide us to live in harmony with all of life and prepare for death.
The Western perspective often views myths as symbolic archetypes, while the shamanic perspective sees them as living, magical stories.
Relating to myths from the heart and intuition allows us to enter the mythical reality and receive direct guidance.
Building a bridge into the mythical reality is a way to reclaim our birthright and live in a more connected and meaningful way.

This week’s show is with Paul F. Austin. Paul is a prominent figure in psychedelics, has guided millions to safe and meaningful psychedelic experiences through his work as the founder of Third Wave. Featured in Forbes, Rolling Stone, and the BBC's Worklife, he pioneers the convergence of psychedelics, personal transformation, and professional success.
Paul empowers leaders, creatives, and pioneers to leverage psychedelics for profound personal and professional growth. Paul's expertise also extends to microdosing, a trend gaining momentum. He authored "Mastering Microdosing," a comprehensive guide that seamlessly blends research and anecdotes. It's a transformative resource for leaders, creatives, and healers. He views psychedelics as refined skills cultivated through mentorship, exploration, and purposeful use—critical for humanity's ongoing evolution.
As the longest-standing and youngest entrepreneur in this field, Paul's focus on merging psychedelics with professional development is evident in his transformative training program Psychedelic Coaching Institute The program caters to individuals who seek to integrate their psychedelic experiences into their business practices, all under the guidance of one of the industry’s most trusted leaders.
In this show, Paul and Lian explored the topic of working with psychedelics in a healing and transformative capacity, especially for those of us already in the change-work field.
Paul shares his origin story and how he combined his passion for meaningful work and social impact with psychedelics.
They discuss the modern stigma around psychedelics Vs the historical use of these substances.
Lian and Paul talk about potential benefits of including psychedelics in change-work and emphasise the need for intention, reverence, responsibility, integration, and community when using psychedelics as a catalyst for healing and transformation.
We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.
What you’ll learn from this episode:Including psychedelics in change-work can break through deep conditioning and armoring, allowing for more subtle energetic techniques to be effective.
The stigma around psychedelics is rooted in archaic religion and outdated policies, and it is important to move past this stigma to explore the potential benefits of these substances. The historical use of psychedelics in ancient and indigenous cultures suggests their benevolent impact on human consciousness.
Creating systems change and a new paradigm requires a communal approach and a focus on impact and interconnectedness.
Reciprocity and honoring indigenous wisdom are essential in the psychedelic space, especially for those of us who are benefiting directly or indirectly from their generosity.

This week’s show is with Be Mythical co-founders, Lian Brook-Tyler and Jonathan Wilkinson.
In this conversation, they reflect on the challenges for old souls in fitting in and the longing for deeper conversations and connections. They discuss the vital role of intentional community in personal growth, touching on the need for discernment in choosing communities, the roles we each play, the need for intention, and the impact of technology on modern-day connections.
They highlight the power of coming together in community and the transformative experiences that can arise from shared journeys, and emphasise the importance of finding connection and support for those of us on the path of individuation and union.
We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.
What you’ll learn from this episode:Finding like-minded individuals and forming connections is essential for personal growth and a sense of belonging, we aren’t meant to walk this path alone.
Intentional and conscious communities provide a space for transformative experiences and deeper connections - discernment is important in choosing communities that align with one's values and goals.
Understanding the roles of members, especially your own, is important when joining a community… be intentional about why you’re in a community and what you’re there to provide and receive.
