In this episode, we are simply delighted to be with our beloved bliss sister and dear friend, Victoria Bennett (Vik) who is a poet, author, creative activist, and Wild Woman.
When not juggling writing, full-time care, and genetic illness, she can be found where the wild weeds grow…within ALL MY WILD MOTHERS: her debut memoir of motherhood, loss and an apothecary garden.
Hear the mystic tale of a poet in northern England awakened by Troubadours in the middle of the night.We dance on tables... and answer the call to free the wild woman in us.We find when we are our authentic selves in the world, we can create anything and that’s when the magic starts!Find the small thing worth the gift of your hope. And what is courage but hope mixed with love.We plant a herb garden and get more than blooms. We are given myths, healing and wise companions on our journey.We see what can grow in the broken ground of grief and find that life grows not in spite of the broken places, but because of them.Some seeds require disturbance in order to grow. If we try to cut out the things that hurt and that are difficult, then we also cut out all the joy.When we garden wild, we are celebrating a connection, a companionship, an honoring of our place in a vital biodiverse environment.We blow the dandelion with its seeds of wishes out into the world!LIFE arrives, reaching for the light, bathing in tears, reckless and determined to grow wild and lush over what was once barren stone.Her writing spans non-fiction, memoir, poetry and games-based storytelling. It was long listed for the inaugural Nan Shepherd Prize (2019), and the Penguin WriteNow (2020) programme, and was a winner of a Northern Debut Award (2020) for non-fiction from New Writing North, and an early extract won the Mother’s Milk Writing Award 2017.
Vik founded Wild Women Press in 1999 to support rural women writers in her community and curates the global Wild Woman Web project, an inclusive online space focusing on nature, connection, and creativity.
Vik shares, “…stone by stone, seed by seed, life grows not in spite of the broken places, but because of them…”
Join us as we look forward to a story of radical hope, to reclaiming our wild spaces and letting the light into those broken places as we transform the rubble into a garden with her!

In this episode, we are thrilled to be in the company of and in conversation with
We are asked if we ready to flip the light on and see what is stored in our metaphorical closet?We build the courage to be able to see ourselves in our fullnessLearn that a feeling is not a fact - we came here to learn and evolve through our challengesFind that when we hit those spots that are so painful and it feels like everything has crumbled - that is the birthplace of creationWe consider that we can hold both the pain and beauty at once. Can things be both?Some of the hardest moments end up being the most fertile of our evolutionWe are here to evolve through a certain set of challenges...we should take the curriculumLove and acceptance is high frequency and brings us peaceStep inside to find the unique spark within YOUR Sanctuary of Self
Psychotherapist and Authentic Empowerment Guide, Nicole Sartini.Nicole started in the mental health field 23 years ago at the age of 19 and has
practiced as a professional psychotherapist since 2010.
She is the co-owner and founder of Bridge Counseling and Wellness, an
integrative mental health counseling center with 5 locations in Louisville, KY, and
The Academy of Integrative Mental Health, a continuing education platform for
mental health professionals across the country and beyond.
She carries a unique window into the world by having had the honor of being an
intimate part of thousands of people’s healing journeys and through her own
personal work as a trauma survivor who has found resiliency and peace.
Nicole says, “When it really comes down to what actually brings about true
contentment and makes a meaningful difference in both our personal and shared
world, the only real power a person has is the power to bring clarity, insight and
healing to their inner world. By doing so, they bring about a sense of peace with
what is within themselves and are able to allow the love they find themselves to
be at their core, to overflow and help shape the outer world. That is the kind of
power that allows us to know and connect with ourselves so deeply that we can
then find a way to use our unique makeup and gifts to honor ourselves and the
collective. It’s a power that not only enhances our personal sense of well being,
but allows us to leave this planet a little bit more kind, evolved, loving, peaceful
or beautiful than it was before our time here.”

In this episode, our hearts are rejoicing and reverent to be in the enlightening and awakening presence of mystic wisdom teacher and guide, Mary Reed, who is ushering in the Way of Love, the Truth of Love, and the Luminous Light of Love.
We welcome her back to Caravan of the Heart to celebrate and cherish the release of her new book and big, beautiful, inspiring love letter, Humanity’s Epic Awakening A Mystical Odyssey Beyond Belief.
We become fully aware of the light of the divine here through us and as us. We make our Love visible. No scripture or sermon is necessary to live according to love...every heart knows the way.We ask, If love is all we need - then why hasn't there ever been enough love to make our suffering go away? We find out the answer.Expand to hold the wisdom that the origin of our pain is our belief that we are separate from everything, separate from love.See how when we reject what we label “bad” we are stuck in a cycle of pain- what we resist...persists. Invite whatever comes into my awareness...I will love unconditionally as an equal part of all that I am. "There is a great love coming....like a great tidal wave...like the force of a thousand winds...it is unstoppable... and you should welcome it when it comes!"We look forward to Mary helping us remember that how we are in each moment IS our contribution to the collective. She offers to us… “You see how powerful you are? Throughout the cosmos you are being celebrated!” We celebrate HER and all of her contributions in service to Divine Love!Mary was a staunchly agnostic healthcare executive living in Washington, DC when she began venturing uncontrollably into mystical experiences in the company of Jesus, Buddha and angels.
She finally surrendered her “normal” life and spent several years in a tiny nunnery in the Himalayas coming to terms with her unexpected abilities. Her profound experiences are both a road map and an invitation into the Divine wisdom we all hold within.
Mary’s work is a palpable transmission of Divine Love as evidenced in her three books — Unwitting Mystic Evolution of the Message of Love, Divine New Being A Sublime Guided Passage to the End of Hell, and Humanity’s Epic Awakening A Mystical Odyssey Beyond Belief.
Mary says, “However we are reacting to others is our contribution to others. However we are reacting to the world is our contribution to the world. What is it YOU want to contribute?”

(Our laptop completely failed. We offer to you an inspirational talk by Renee given at a Unity service a few years ago. We are in the process of getting things replaced and should have a new guest episode next week. In the meantime, here’s an invitation to love…)
In this episode, you are invited to consider that it is impossible that there is anything but love! Why not explore this? We encourage you to activate your spiritual GPS to find out where you are (love) and where you are destined (love)…all paths meet at the crossroads of love.
Marianne Williamson says, “Until we see love as the meaning of life, life seems to have no meaning at all. The sense of meaninglessness produces chaos, and the chaos produces fear. There is only one way out of this, and that is to see every moment and every situation as an invitation to love.”
”There is only one way out of this, and that is to see every moment and every situation as an invitation to love.” ...find out what "this" is...
If we don’t choose love – what are we choosing instead?We cannot be in the world of connection and the world of estrangement at the same time…when we are feeling joy, we cannot feel fear; when we are feeling tranquil we cannot feel resentful; when we are feeling love we cannot feel critical…We can choose our destination but we need to know exactly where we are and where we wish to go.Love is the only way and when it feels like it is not love it is only just a lack of love.The perfect you is accessed through the love within you. Choose love over fear and find your shine!Free your heart from hatred.Free your mind from worries.Live Simply.Give More.Expect Goodness.DECIDE to love it! That’s the way of love!Remember, YOU are love and YOU are loved!
Let's Connect! Schedule your personal or couples retreat and let us nurture you and your love!

Find out how this songbird finds an opening and gets freed from her cage.Fall into Worship as we recognize ourselves as part of the whole - as coming home. We see worship as swimming out and broadening our perspective to connect with the lifeforce saying, “I love you and you love me....thank you for being with me on this journey”.We ask what if we didn't run away from the demons in our heads and instead we chose to love them? Step into the knowledge that by actively choosing love we feel empowered. Discover the key turned in the lock that opened up the love of self and the knowing of our worth.You are invited to, please, be yourself...it is the most beautiful thing you can do! We trust that who we are is enough. We are with the Divine Feminine as she invites us to slow down...Her Love is tender...it is fierce...it is deep listening...it is clear communication...it is intuitive dreaming...it is powerful prayer...it is everything!Since the release of her debut album “Made of Stars” (2016), Fia has been touring worldwide and continues to touch hearts wherever she goes. She has fast become one of the leading voices on the spiritual music scene after the release of her two albums ”Legacy of Light” (2017) and ”Waterfall of Wisdom”(2019). Since then, several EPs, singles and various collaborations have taken place, and winter 22/23 she enters the studio to create her fourth album with spirit inspired music.
It i said that she has a “unique way of weaving music that empowers the listener to drop deeper into themselves and find their own medicine…" Expect to be healed!
Fia says,
“The life that I live
I feel honored to give
In humble service to the Divine
I am grateful for every single breath that I may breathe
For the expansion
For the gift of being me
I’ve got another page in my book
And I will use it well, I will use it well
Cause when I go
I want to know
That I left it all on the table
That I gave it all I’ve got
I wanna be remembered as Love
Leaving behind
A legacy of Light
Of Light”

In this episode, it is our immense privilege to have as our guest a powerful poetic voice, author, singer/songwriter, avid nature-woman, and educator, Meredith Heller.
A California Poet in the Schools, Meredith leads Writing By Heart workshops at public & private schools, women’s prisons, The Institute for Poetic Medicine, The Kennedy Center for the Arts, wellness retreats, and online for adults and teens.
We ask the question…Do you write the poem or does the poem write you? What does it mean to Be 1000% percent present and get 1000% out of the way so the creative muse can come through?When we really show up and learn something new about ourselves...this is what is alive!We befriend ourselves...hold ourselves with the deepest love and respect and listen for the whisper in our ears.Discover how to find your own natural, creative voice.Offer the monster of your inner critic tea and dark chocolate with almonds.Realize that we need both the darkness and the light to grow. Melt the armor, put the sword down and learn to trust.Stay with it until you break open...then you will break through.Realize that you can write yourself back to life and give a voice to your pain.Turn your tears into temples. Midwife and reweave the world.Learn to feel wildly alive.We allow ourselves to make some wonderful new mistakes.We trust that there is a benevolent energy that wants the best FOR us and wants the best FROM us.Her passion is empowering people to believe in themselves, trust their creative instincts, tap their wild wisdom, express their truth, and ignite their hearts.
She is the author of Write a Poem, Save Your Life, and three poetry collections, Songlines, Yuba Witch, & River Spells. Meredith was selected as a teaching-artist for an online education program through The Kennedy Center for the Arts. She was made a Poetry Partner by the Institute of Poetic Medicine, and she receives a grant from them each year to teach in the women's prisons.
Meredith says, “If writing has claimed you as its own, as it has me, you will know that writing is how we breathe, how we bloom from darkness into love. Dig deep into the caverns of your memories, thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Dig up all the bright delicious juicy ones, the bubbling lava angry ones, the lonely soggy miserable ones, the broken self-hating demeaning ones, the dark monstrous secretive ones; dig in, because this is where your poetry lives.”

In this episode, we are in the presence of a Champion…Our Shero…a revolutionary advocate for this planet and its people, Julia Butterfly Hill!
For 738 days Julia Butterfly Hill lived in the canopy of an ancient redwood tree, called Luna, to help make the world aware of the plight of ancient forests. Her courageous act of civil disobedience gained international attention for the redwoods as well as other environmental and social justice issues, which is chronicled in her bestselling book The Legacy of Luna: The Story of a Tree, a Woman, and the Struggle to Save the Redwoods.
Our souls are transformed by a Super-Shero of Resilience! Bear it all...push at edges even when it's uncomfortable because that's where growth happens.We find a conscious "No" to one thing is a conscious "Yes" to something else!We don't have to hold it all... just allow it to flow through.Discover a pufferfish transform into a butterfly!With waste, there is no "away". Indigenous cultures don't even have a word for "trash".We don't need more stuff, we need to find more courage, more love. more connectivity!We dispel the idea of "We the People" and expand to "We the Planet"!Today we strive to do our best to live love in action in every moment. Today we ask "what kind of world do I want to leave behind with the life that I have led?"Julia, with the great help of steelworkers and environmentalists, successfully negotiated to permanently protect the 1,000 year-old tree and a nearly three – acre buffer zone.
On December 18, 1999 Julia Butterfly Hill, then 26, came down to a world that recognized her as a heroine and powerful voice for the environment.Her courage, commitment and profound clarity in articulating a message of hope, empowerment, and love & respect for all life, has inspired millions of people worldwide. After she returned to the ground, Julia toured the world speaking about her experience, and about the many lessons she learned, to the media and audiences large and small.
The recipient of numerous prestigious awards and distinctive honors, Julia Butterfly Hill is one of the most internationally recognizable figures in environmental activism.
Julia founded the non-profit organization, Circle of Life and was the visionary of We The Planet, setting the standards for green festivals, events, and tours in the US. She co-founded the Engage Network and is the inspiration behind What’s Your Tree.
She has addressed the United Nations, lobbied congress, and has continued to stand on the front lines of environmental and social justice issues all over the world.
JULIA SAYS, “When I entered the majestic cathedral of the redwood forest for the first time, my spirit knew it had found what it was searching for. I dropped to my knees and began to cry because I was so overwhelmed by the wisdom, energy and spirituality housed in this holiest of temples”
Julia Butterfly Hill is most known for living in a tree, but she has had a wild and full life before and after. She “cusses like a sailor and prays to trees.”

In this episode, we are ecstatic to be with and in the sublime and divine presence of Creator, Artist, Author and Podcaster, our bliss sister and dear friend, Mary H. Reaman.
We invite the gift that prayer is a friendly talk with GodWe are reminded that the greatest love we can give each other is in seeing and calling forth our goodness.Be baptized in the knowledge that we are ALL already whole.Remember that playing is praying with creative vitality. It is crucial to keep play incorporated in our lives...its where wonder is, where awe lives and imagination resides! Learn how Holy Bubbles, Cosmic Acorns, the Brush of Sacred Dreams, the pen summoning your spirit myth...lets the Divine create through you.We allow our unconscious to become conscious by opening a door in our imagination and allowing ourselves to walk through.Find out what happens in a Magic Bath!Explore why there is a ticker tape parade for your anxiety.Be a soul adventurer following the clues the spirit leaves.Recall that it is within the silence of our souls that we find healing, insight, compassion and peace. Go to where I AM is all that can be said...
Following the call of her longing, Mary has pursued unchartered territories and taken on a variety of roles over the years including pastor, founder, public speaker, teacher, preacher, creator of ceremonies, author, artist, and podcaster.After 25 years of honing her skills as a pastor, teacher, and preacher, Mary has redirected her attention to the arts and healing, believing that societal and cultural change, even the possibility for world peace, as well as the desire for peace in our relationships HAS to begin with healing the wars, disease, and dissonance within ourselves.
To that end Mary offers spiritual companioning, art as meditation opportunities, reiki and energy work, spiritual development classes and workshops, threshold ceremonies, and more to facilitate healing and restore balance to mind, body, and spirit. She also shares her insights on her podcast, Watering Whole with Mary.
Mary says, “Realizing that life is about transformation means never resisting development at the deepest level. And that requires a profound receptivity on our part - because we can only change the world if we change ourselves, if we can love ourselves unconditionally, and more often than not, hold a stance of uncertainty and humility when it comes to understanding others and the game of Life in which we find ourselves. And in order to do that we have to develop a spirituality for the long haul.”

In this episode, we are grateful to be in the presence of the compelling writer, time traveler and friend, Perdita Finn.
She is the co-author of The Reluctant Psychic and, with her husband Clark Strand, The Way of The Rose: The Radical Path of the Divine Feminine Hidden in the Rosary and Take Back the Magic: Getting to Know the Dead.
We are encouraged to not rush for the answers and to step into the mystery. Explore how womb and tomb are so closely attuned. Find out how Bourbon, Dark Chocolate and a furry white cat saved her Mom's life. Be present at the moment of two hearts' cataclysmic convergence in the portal of a Hungarian pastry shop.We are asked, “What is the one story you would leave behind for people to know about you?” We are living in a river of prayer that flows to us and through us…pull on a thread and wait for the tug on a heartstring. What if we could truly feel the souls of our family in the living things around us? What if the dead were right here and just waiting to be of service? The dead most want to teach us is that we have all the time in the world because we are all in this dance forever.A longtime devotee of the earth, Perdita has studied with mystics and shamans, Zen masters and naturalists, but her greatest teachers have been the dead themselves. She is the co-founder of The Way of the Rose, an international rosary fellowship dedicated to the earth and the Lady by any name you like to call Her.
She says, “What if our souls were nothing but threads piercing the veil first one way and then another, sewn back and forth eternally? What if the veil didn’t separate the worlds but was the world—the whole fabric of existence? From this side, we see only the knots, the tangles, the threads cut short too soon. What if we could feel the long thread of our souls entangling with other threads? What if we could follow a red thread through to the other side of the tapestry as it becomes a dress, a jewel, a rose, a pair of lips, a heart? What if we could glimpse the picture of our lives from the other side? That’s what the dead do, of course—they see at last what life is really for. To touch that reality we have only to pull on a thread and wait for the tug on a heartstring.”

In this episode, we are greatly honored to have our hearts nourished by Pouria Montazeri, the founder of "In The Footprints of Rumi."
Pouria shares the riches of his familiarity with Rumi's language, culture, and religious/spiritual background to support individuals in understanding what Rumi said and taught, which has been ignored, erased, or misinterpreted through translations and renditions in the West. His fluency in Persian enables him to translate Rumi and other Muslim Sufi mystics and poets in a way that brings together East and West.
Join us as we marinate in magic, get permeated by presence and saturated in the sweetness of unity.Feel with us as we join in the beautiful dance of intimacy between joy and sadness and find where they meet. Understand with us that the purpose of the core of pain is to bring us back home and how it is a blessing when we see it that way.Remember that the heart is a threshold...once you get a little glimpse of that glance and a taste of that kiss... you are done. Find out what is connecting the seen with the unseen mystery. Know that we all need a mirror, we all need a friend, we all need a confidante.Honor that we are trustees, we are humble servants that were gifted this life to serve this planet, all of its species and each other.E-mail

In this episode, we are beyond grateful to have in our presence a living legend, a forty-five year, environmental health activist, John Blair…a commercial mortgage banker turned Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist. See the photo: https://cdn.ebaumsworld.com/mediaFiles/picture/677914/85339150.jpg
He founded and still serves as president of Valley Watch, Inc. whose purpose is "to protect the [public health and environment of the lower Ohio River Valley. He also published, for three years a monthly newspaper called the Ohio Valley Environment during a really activist surge in the early 1980s.
A believer in active civil disobedience, he gained notoriety when he stole the groundbreaking shovels at a Union Carbide hazardous waste facility in Henderson, KY in 1985. Watch the video: https://youtu.be/_V-BvOlXoNY
In 1997, John, had an epiphany regarding the need to eliminate coal as an energy source.
During the early 2000s, he was instrumental in stopping a number of new coal plants as well as helping establish new rules for national air quality standards and helping to establish a number of small community-based organization that usually successfully fought local environmental issues.
Since 2018, he has been working with one of those groups-SW indiana Citizens For Quality of Life in Spencer County, IN to stop a bizarre proposal to build a coal to diesel refinery.
We learn the 3 "C's" of environmental activism: Confrontation, Cooperation and Civil Disobedience.Find out one of the best ways to stop a polluting, poisonous behemoth is sometimes to just...steal the shovels...at the groundbreaking...right in front of them...live on the air.We deepen into the powerful mantra "Think globally act locally." and how vital that is right now!Learn the key is Perseverance. The only thing that wins is outlasting the other side.We cheer each other on…Don't give up – Get up! Don't get depressed - Get Determined!Have the epiphany…You get fired when you speak your mind and when you stay quiet…so you might as well speak your mind.Learn to discern fiction from fact.Set out to change the world and fight injustice.Ask the question…what can I do to help fight for a healthy, viable planet?John says, “Freedom is like a muscle. It atrophies if it is not exercised.” We know our conversation with this living legend will strengthen us to fight this good fight!
