What happens when you leave a rising Hollywood career, give away your belongings, and follow an inner call into the unknown?​

In this episode of The Unknown Tribe, Alex Ferri sits down with Dan Horton, an actor-turned-spiritual facilitator and guide at Shasta Vortex Adventures, to explore how grief, nature, and trust led him from Los Angeles to the mystical landscapes of Mount Shasta and beyond.​

Dan shares:​
- How the “call” showed up in his life, and why most of us resist it at first​
- The moment loss and intuition pushed him to leave LA and head north with no fixed destination.
- A powerful encounter with a mountain lion in Sequoia that reshaped his relationship with fear and protection​
- What it means to live in complete trust of the unknown, guided by signs, synchronicities, and "hot springs as waypoints"
-How Mount Shasta’s energy, Lemurian lore, and vortex sites inform the spiritual journeys he now guides​

From hero’s journey teachings and archetype work, to violet flame activations and fifth-dimensional explorations, Dan reflects on how the same frequencies he works with in Shasta are now woven into his time as a visiting guide at Palmaïa – The House of AïA.​

This is a conversation about listening when life calls, honoring the land, and allowing yourself to be reshaped by places that hold deep spiritual resonance, from the mountains of the north to the mangroves and sea of the Riviera Maya.​

In this episode of The Unknown Tribe, Alex Ferry sits down with Dulce Ruby, Mexican creator, meditation guide, and founder of Despierta, to explore a path where the dreamworld and waking life merge as one continuum of awareness.​

A lifelong seeker and visionary, Dulce shares how her lineage of curanderas, her years teaching meditation across the globe, and her time living in a temple inspired the creation of Despierta, a conscious brand rooted in the art of herbal alchemy and intention.
