practices

In a series of heartfelt conversations, Imam Wisam Sharieff and Dr. Gina DeBarthe delve into the significance of Ramadan, sharing personal experiences and reflections. They emphasize the importance of cultural traditions and practices within the Muslim community, discussing the impact of technology on its observance and the potential for creating new traditions. From fasting to personal growth, they explore the spiritual dimensions of Ramadan and the importance of discipline. Wisam's insights into personal growth and spirituality resonate, while discussions about religion and laws in Islam provide depth. Amidst podcast emotions and reflections, they discuss progress and personal details, reaffirming their commitment to genuine content and podcast excellence.

Guest: Mike Marinacci, author of Psychedelic Cults and Outlaw Churches: LSD, Cannabis, and Spiritual Sacraments in Underground America

Mike is an independent expert on psychedelic spiritual groups and nontraditional American religious sects. He is also the author of California Jesus and Mysterious California, and coauthor of the bestselling Weird California. And he lives in the San Francisco Bay Area in California, USA.

In this very engaging conversation, Mike starts by talking about what inspired him to write this book, and then we jump into discussing several of the major psychedelic groups he discusses in his book. A few highlights of our interview: The Native American Church and their struggle to receive legal permission from the United States government to use peyote in their rituals; how non-indigenous people also tried to gain this legal permission for their own churches; the highly eventful life of Timothy Leary and his engagement with LSD, and his later League for Spiritual Discovery; the forerunner to satirical groups such as the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, the Neo-American Church; the introduction of ‘crisis response’ help with the use of LSD by the Church of Naturalism; the switch to the use of legal drugs by the Church of the Tree of Life; the success of the Ethiopian Zion Coptic Church with the Rastafarians, and the downfall of the Church after the group became too highly involved in drug trafficking; and the complicated efforts to profit commercially from the use of entheogens by the present-day Ayahuasca Healings group.

In this message, Martin preaches on the importance of Community. 

Are you navigating a time of transition? Perhaps you’re ending a relationship or are in a new one, perhaps you’re coming to terms with a life changing diagnosis, preparing for motherhood, or starting a new career… You might find your sense of self is shifting and things suddenly feel uncertain and overwhelming. Whatever the circumstances, transition is something we all know intimately and must dance with constantly throughout our lives.

To be in transition is to be in a liminal space. It’s the messy, murky unknown we encounter when we’ve left behind what’s familiar and are on the precipice of something new. Navigating times of transition can be an uncomfortable and confusing experience. Yet times of transition are also rites of passage that hold enormous potential for growth and self-discovery.

Join us as we explore the messiness and transformational potential of transitions big and small.

We chat about:

• How Indigo came to choose “transition” as the topic for her doctorate and why this topic is close to our hearts
• Transitions as an invitation to learn to be with discomfort and “not knowing”
• Navigating the transition to private practice as therapists 
• Transitional places as sacred spaces 
• Finding practices that support and hold you in times of transition 
• Learning to slow down and be open to what is emerging 
• How times of transition can invite encounters with Soul
• Navigating grief and loss in times of transition 

… and so much more!

In this message, Pastor Jesse starts off our new sermon series talking about spiritual formations. 

In this episode, the guys discuss if practices are the real driver that leads to belief and unbelief. We are more formed by what we do than by what we believe. Does this mean what we do leads to what we believe?

It was my pleasure to speak with Prof. Dr. Wouter Hanegraaff about his new book, Hermetic Spirituality and the Historical Imagination: Altered States of Knowledge in Late Antiquity. As Wouter preferred not to give a general summary, I chose four very important themes of the book to discuss: what the Hermetica is really all about; the notion of embodiment in the Hermetic texts; the difficult but extremely important task of interpreting the ancient texts; and the importance of the faculty of the imagination - not only within the Hermetica, but also for the scholar trying to understand what the texts are actually saying. 
Wouter does an excellent job of explaining the terms gnosis and nous (that Wouter calls the "hero of the book") and how they are used within the Hermetic texts; these terms are crucial for the rest of the discussion.  Following the four themes, Wouter discusses in more detail how Platonism influenced the Hermetica, how Gadamer's concept of hermeneutics plays a role in the process of understanding these texts, the paradox of how we think about the term imagination, and how Wouter tries to 'systematically privilege weirdness' when studying the Hermetic texts.

How can we expand our ideas of practices and rituals through deeper engagement with astrology? What is Pluto and what's my relationship with Pluto transiting through my 5th house?

I'm trying something new! Episodes 26-31 will be me answering some of the most juicy questions I received from my Instagram community. I had so much fun answering these questions, and I hope you'll find something useful from my answers, too. 

(PS - In the intro to the episode, I mentioned the wrong sequence of the episodes. Oops! Episode 26 will actually cover Lion's Gate, Housing Contract, and Chiron in Cancer. Meanwhile, Episode 31 covers questions on working with naysayers of astrology and the contradiction of astrology.)

In this episode, I answered the following questions: 

• [08:13] "What are your daily / weekly astrology practices and rituals?"
• [29:50] "Can you share reflections and lessons from Pluto transiting your 5th house?"

Resources I mentioned: 

• Diana Rose Harper's a primer on planetary prayers, or, how to start praying to the planets
• Richard Tarnas's Cosmos and Psyche
• Jeffrey Wolf Green's Pluto Volume 1

Feel free to jump around within & between episodes to listen to the answers to the questions you're interested in! Use the timestamps to help you out :)

“I see much more of my own learning in this learning about Curanderismo and these practices. And not just the practices, obviously, but the outlook on life, the cosmology, the philosophy of how to live a right life, or in right relationship, because it certainly is much more than medical practices and rituals and remedies.” ~ Caroline Ortiz, MS, MPH, RN, NC-BC

Ah-Ha's

• When we can listen with our whole selves it creates a safe space for everyone
• It is powerful to listen and to be listened to
• Listening can happen in reading and writing, and in any situation
• Curanderismo is a Spanish name given to the healing practices from Mesoamerica
• There is a synergy between nurse coaching and curanderismo
• Nature as a Healer
• We are our own Healer
