    A Hunger for Wholeness
    The results of the Cherrystone study describing the science of the effects of trauma on DNA passed on to the 14th generation has been known and mostly ignored. This podcast illustrated how the human body develops its unique sensitivities from the basic need for survival. These characteristics are encoded in the DNA. What this podcast does so clearly is to connect the dots from indigenous people and self healing to modern life that uses pseudoscience that deepens the trauma rather than healing it. I would posit that allopathic medicine benefits from prolonging illness whether psychological or physical and helps to maintain the cycle of the pharmaceutical industry of creating and recreating drugs to ameliorate symptoms but not heal. An informative podcast worth listening to.
  • Waking Up With Ryan
    Irresponsible Platforming
    My heart breaks noticing the title of this podcast and then witnessing the platforming of disinformation. This is not nonduality. This is not love and compassion and healing. This is spreading information that is leading to more death and destruction of indigenous people while wearing the costume of being awake. It’s sad to see.
  • Ismee LD
    Great speakers!
    I knew of some of the guests speakers, and now have learned of so many more. This is one of the only spaces that are doing “the work” without spiritual bypassing injustices and incorporating indigenous voices. Thank you!
  • disappointedmama 0987654321
    Misinformed and political when I was expecting philosophical insights.
    How can an indigenous people be occupiers. Why are you parroting terrorist propaganda. Not in MY name. Why don’t you learn the facts about the war in Israel before

    Apian Wisdom
    We humans would be wise to humbly ask what we have to learn from our apian relatives.

    SAND episode #100 - Palestinian trauma
    I happened to listen to #100, not expecting a lot of new ideas, because I thought i understood a little bit about the war in Gaza. I was so wrong. I’m happily humbled by the speakers I listened to. My eyes and heart are more open now and my horizon on the issues has been expanded greatly. This deals with the intersection of historical injustice, western colonialism intersecting with Zionism and oppressing both Palestinians and Jews alike, and the ways in which these very real things can have spiritual implications - and possibly spiritual solutions. I’m so impressed by everyone’s passion and commitment. Thank you.

    And the time become thus…
    I stumbled across the podcast this evening, or perhaps more in alignment with my practices, it stumbled across me. If the latest episode (#83) with Mattias Daly was indicative of the other previous 82 episodes then I am all-in. Thanks for sharing the journey ! Paul

    Llama Tsomo
    She’s worth $2 billion. Don’t see a llama at that income! American capitalism at its worst!

    The Frenkal Episode is Elegant
    I understood every genius word , as he spoke, I have experienced mystical freedom throughout my life. Yet I could not put words together to describe a bit of it. How thrilling to listen to this conversation. Thank you!
  • KeenaSP
    My Go-To Right Now
    This podcast continues to bring me a sense of balance, connection and hope. These conversations carry deeply beautiful and important perspectives that invoke a sense of connection and welcome a sense of ‘remembering’.
  • Strumin
    Wounded Healer
    Your interview with Angel Acosta connected with me as a music professor and activist that also experienced the trauma of gun violence as a teen.
  • vanishingpoet
    Activism and inclusion
    What exactly does non duality have to do with identity politics and forced diversity ?
  • Iorderintoomuch
    Expand!
    I can’t even relate how thought provoking and important the conversations in this podcast are- whether you agree or not with the viewpoint- it’s conversations and thinking that needs to be happening. May it help guide us into the compassionate future we need now ❤️
