In this episode, I have an insightful chat with Shamanic practicioners Laova and Eric Lingen about the fascinating world of Shamanism and its spiritual rewilding implications. Here we discuss the spirit world, spirit guides, the ancient and cross-cultural beliefs of shamanism, direct forms of spiritual communication, signs and synchronicities, and so much more. Listen in to this fascinating topic about our individual spiritual journeys into finding greater meaning in life, through the guidance of our spirit allies and shamanic practices that have enhanced our lives in so many magical and meaningful ways.

In this interview with repeat guest and movement expert Annette Cashell, we discuss ways to integrate movement into the learning space for children. So many of these changes are simple and cost-effective, and go a long way in enhancing concentration and enthusiasm for school. Listen in for an insightful conversation on how to change the learning space (both in schools and at home) to include more movement, which is particularly significant in a world in which convenience makes it all too easy for even kids to be sedentary.

So much of rewilding is focused on questioning modern-day conventions, and reimagining life in ways that turn our assumptions upside down, allowing us to see things differently and live in ways that allow us to thrive. No where does this become more apparent then when we live within a different culture and are forced to examine our cultural assumptions on a daily basis.

In this episode, I interview Elizabeth Newcamp, co-host of the Slate podcast Mom and Dad are Fighting. Elizabeth shares her experience living three years in the Netherlands and how it deeply changed her as a parent. So much of discussing another culture involves examining our own, so this interview also centers on looking into our own cultural beliefs, particularly with regards to parenting. As a fellow homeschooling mom, Elizabeth also shares with us her homeschooling journey, and how it fundamentally changed based on her experiences abroad.
