Clark Strand was a Zen Buddhist monk. Now he writes books of love poetry to Kali Ma and manifestos to the Dark.

In this conversation, we trace his spiritual path from childhood Protestantism through monasticism and massage school — ultimately leading him into deep devotion to the Divine Mother.

Listen in, as we step into the Dark together.

Clark Strand has been studying the world’s spiritual traditions for more than thirty years. The author of several books including Waking the Buddha, Meditation Without Gurus, Waking Up to the Dark and Now is the Hour of Her Return, Strand has written for The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and the Washington Post/Newsweek “On Faith” blog. He is the founder of Way of the Rose, a growing nonsectarian rosary fellowship open to people of any spiritual background, with members around the world. He lives on a dark road with no streetlights in the southern Catskill Mountains.

we discuss —

• the many paths of spiritual devotion
• the patriarchal traditions of many world religions
• how Clark encountered the Divine Mother
• feeling safe in the dark
• why Now is the hour
• human civilization vs human culture
• the power of simple-hearted devotion
• writing poems for Kali
• remembering our birdsong

In this episode, curandera + indigenous foods activist Felicia Ruiz shares with us the importance of connecting to your ancestry and how to begin working with your ancestors. She shares with us what holds people back from connecting to their roots and what belonging + transformation can unfold when we undertake this healing invitation.

Felicia is a curandera, indigenous foods activist, and natural foods chef whose work is deeply rooted in the healing properties of all earth medicines. Her business name came to be after friends lovingly called her "the kitchen curandera", as she was often creating healing foods and remedies in her tiny adobe kitchen.

Her work has been featured in Food & Wine, Spirituality & Health, and on "Padma Lakshmi's Taste The Nation" among many other platforms. Felicia lives in the Sonoran Desert with her husband, and she has a book coming out this month called Earth Medicines. We have a link below where you can order or pre-order your copy.

It is with great honor, that with permission from her elders and earning the title of Curandera in ceremony, Felicia carries on the lineage of natural healing ways through private consultations, medicine workshops, and ceremony.

we discuss —

• The perspective of plants + plant memory
• Centralizing ancestral relationships in both everyday life + ceremony
• The importance of connecting to your own medicine from your own land first
• The harm of appropriating and capitalizing on Native culture
• The healing she witnesses when people connect to their own ancestry
• How to begin your own ancestral healing journey
• How our individual healing is our responsibility and our gift
• What often holds people back from ancestral work
• Why shadow work is an important, valuable component to a spiritual path
• How food can help us reconnect to our heritage
• Personal insights + boundaries learned from her daily ancestor practice

An out-loud contemplation, or riff, on death seasons. These times, like Autumn, ask us to shed, to pull in, to move closer towards the center which knows our discomfort. How can we honor the irritations, the chafing? How can we set the table, prepare a meal and offer nourishment to our fears?

Langston Kahn weaves us through our mutual accountabilities to our constellation of selves + collective healing. Join us as we talk about the difference between happiness + joy, the spiritual roots of burn-out and how we can re-frame triggers as gifts towards our healing.

LANGSTON KAHN is a Black, Queer teacher and shamanic practitioner who specializes in radical human transformation, ancestral healing, and restoring an authentic relationship with our emotions.

He stands firmly at the crossroads; his practice informed by somatic modalities, contemporary shamanic traditions, initiations into traditions of the African diaspora, and his helping spirits and ancestors weaving it all together.

Langston gives workshops and lectures internationally, in person and online. He is a senior teacher in the Cycle of Transformation and has served for 5 years in the Last Mask Community, a collective of people striving to live in alignment with ancient shamanic principles in service of personal and collective liberation.

For more information you can visit his website LangstonKahn.com.

we discuss —

• The difference between joy + happiness
• How we can cultivate coherence between our different layers of self + expression
• What it looks like to be accountable to the soul
• Contextualizing our spirituality as part of the whole cultural context
• Moving in and out of collective and individual healing
• What accountability can look like as it relates to burn-out, over-giving, codependence and perfectionism
• How to make more coherent choices by recognizing our multiplicity of selves
• The value of being triggered + how we can use triggers as gifts
• Collaborating with apocalypse instead of being victims of it

We often bring the cult of the “Individual” to our business practices which boxes us into myopic perspectives that stay within our niche borders. How could we reframe our approach to business more towards that of a Creatrix — where we center the Call that we hear, become a vessel for the Gift + open our arms with wild hospitality?

we discuss

• Going against the grain + listening to your Call
• The problem with niche and the cult of the exceptional individual
• Re-thinking the paradigm of marketing towards hospitality
• Creating businesses more like art where we offer gifts
• Leaving space for Spirit to come through
