Jenn speaks to Canadian born Tara Eden, a Feldenkrais Method professional and ISMETA® Registered Somatic Movement Therapist/Educator based out of Chiang Mai, Thailand about embodied authenticity. From her upbringing in Canada and early years of exposure to dance therapy to living in NYC, Tara shares how wanting to find alignment was the key to her move to Asia. She talks about her discovery of Feldenkrais Method, on setting intentions and being intuitive is important and why she continues to embrace the embodied lifestyle, living the slow life, being true to herself and finding grounded-ness and being able to share this awakening technique with more individuals. (Recorded on January 16, 2023)

About Tara:

After graduating from a 4-year Feldenkrais Method Professional Program and becoming an ISMETA® Registered Somatic Movement Therapist/Educator – and from years practicing Thai Massage, teaching yoga, exploring creative movement and movement therapy and a lifetime of observing people and what drives them – Tara helps people learn how to reconnect to their body, to realize where they are causing themselves unnecessary pain or strain, to discover new healthier self-use, to be empowered to trust and learn from their own embodied experience and to discover a unique inner calm, stillness and knowing that arrives spontaneously in an embodied state change.

Katie and Jordan get the ol’ Chiang Mai Shanghai in this week’s adventure. What started as a trip to teach English turns out to be ten days in a village atop Doi Inthanon, the highest peak in Thailand where Catholicism rules and the priest is a demi-god. 

On the first day, Katie and Jordan are welcomed to a house blessing as guests of honor where they eat the spiciest food of their life and pound rice whiskey for the ceremony. 

Jordan has a mental breakdown attempting to use a poorly installed squat toilet and Katie realizes she’s technically been to the Himalayas.

Get a glimpse into the life of a monk as Laura spends a few days at a Buddhist university in Chiang Mai.  With Gayle Lennox as my guest, we'll also talk about the many ways to learn about Buddhism and meditation in and around this city in Northern Thailand.

Myanmar's media, fleeing the military's crackdown on journalists, have found a new home in Chiang Mai. Over the past year, parts of the media ecosystem — journalists, newsrooms, funders — have re-established their operations the northern Thai city.

The creation of this new hub represents an important milestone for this region. For the first time, we're seeing an ecosystem built around media startups coming together in Southeast Asia.

Splice's co-founder Alan Soon was on a road trip with Sonny Swe, the CEO and founder of Frontier Myanmar. They talked about how Frontier made the move, and what's in store for 2022. This interview was recorded in Sonny's car on a drive from Chiang Rai to Chiang Mai.

The Mind of a Digital Nomad - Tom Libelt Interview Ep. 8.0

Hosted By: L J

Tom Libelt learned from a young age how to sell and negotiate business by getting haggled by Russian vendors.

His family moved from Poland to the US to escape communism and his parents took any job they could to survive.

After seeing all this as a young man, this motivated him to never want a "job" and keep moving forward as an entrepreneur and now a true Digital Nomad.

Before the new norm of working remotely that dominates the Coronaverse - Tom was living it and running his successful We Market Online Courses & Smart Brand Marketing Firm.

After working and living in around 14 countries, he currently divides his time between the US, Poland and Thailand.

In this epidsode - we explore the Mind of a Digital Nomad. Getting a little deeper into the history and experiences that make Tom the man he is today and giving a little insight into his history, business, energy management and ideas that you might need if first you think about embarking on a Digital Nomadic journey especially alluring during these uncertain times in the Coronaverse where opportunity and new horizons beckon, to those willing to make a change.

So lets have some fun - and dive into The Mind of a Digital Nomad.

In this special episode, i'm joined with some trail running friends, #vertclub,  where we go into some thoughts about our upcoming race called the CM6 that takes place in Northern Thailand on August 8.

As we all know, Covid-19 created difficulties for all races around the world with many cancelling and postponing their event.  CM6 wasn't any different and the race was recently given the green light by the Thai government to proceed with caution and particular limitations.  

Anyway, thanks to proper enforcement to help contain the Covid situation in Thailand, this little trail running wolf pack is "ready" to toe the line once again.  In this chat we go into our 34km trail run earlier that morning, share some trail running tips and even go into the things that got us/keep us running.  And not all our answers have to do with alcohol, but since most of us were drinking during this... guess we can't completely say that they weren't influenced by it.

Hope you enjoy the episode!

Antoinette Jackson is the CEO of Superbee, a social enterprise that produces everyday products that support green, sustainable lifestyle. They are famous for their beeswax wraps, but what is really fascinating is how Antoinette puts so much focus on the people in the company. She expresses how paying attention to the workers' happiness is key to producing good products and a lasting company.

Our guest today is with Swami Dayananda or as she’s known today, Ani Pema, a Tibetan Buddhist nun. And we’re your hosts Marc Ketchel and Larry Holmes.

Swamiji currently resides in Chiang Mai, Thailand, but has spent decades living and traveling in India, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, and Thailand. She is a direct disciple of Swami Muktananda, the Shaktipat (or Direct Transmission) Master, and spent the last 12 years of his life with him as he traveled the world initiating thousands into the Way of the Siddhas or Perfect Masters. 

After Muktananda’s passing she eventually found resonance with Tibetan Buddhism and was initiated into a monastic order as a nun in 2001 in Bhutan. 

Our conversation covers the full spectrum of her spiritual work in many yogic disciplines and spiritual traditions as well as the convergence of Transpersonal Psychology as taught by Jungian professors prominent at the time. 

In our conversation, we discuss her investigations and study of the effects of multigenerational trauma in spiritual practice and awakening. We explore the understanding of Shaktipat and subsequent Kundalini unfoldment. She shares with us what she feels is the most important understanding gleaned from the 50 years of her practice, what she calls embodied humanity. 

We discuss her discoveries through deep spiritual work in two of the greatest direct transmission lineages in modern spirituality.  Her wisdom and insights are rare and completely applicable to our current times. 

We hope you enjoy this conversation.

Lisa Nesser arrived in Thailand 15 years ago with $500 in her bank account and a round-trip ticket home. But after seeing the way Burmese refugees were being denied entrance to Thai schools, she decided to open her own school in her back yard. Since then, she’s created a small empire of social enterprises in Chiang Mai (a vegan restaurant, a zero-waste store, a donation center, and many more), and has mentored dozens of Burmese refugees to help them start their own successful social enterprises. Lisa is a powerhouse social entrepreneur, and it was an honor to sit down with her for this conversation. 

This conversation is a must-listen for anyone interested in social entrepreneurship and not-for-profit work abroad.

A former model and corporate executive, driven to introspection after a natural disaster, resolves to move from her native Thailand to New York City and become a chef. That’s the improbable, and improbably successful, journey of Chef Hong Thaimee, who now presides over a number of Thai restaurants in New York City, with dreams of conquering the world “one pad Thai at a time.” Hong shares her story with Andrew, painting us a verbal picture of her Chiang Mai childhood, first days in New York City, education at Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s Spice Market restaurant, and adventures as an entrepreneur in a strange land. Here's a thought: If you like what you hear, please tell your chef-fascinated friends, subscribe to Andrew Talks to Chefs (it's free) on iTunes or Stitcher, follow us on your favorite social media platforms @ChefPodcast, and/or rate or review us on Apple's podcast store.
