Counter Cultural by Erah Society – Details, episodes & analysis

In this episode, we delve into the question, 'What is Spirituality?' 

This thought-provoking topic is often met with a wide array of perspectives, and as you know at Erah, we aim to challenge conventional commentary and push the boundaries of understanding.

There are a lot of popular interpretations of spirituality that have shaped our societal and individual beliefs. The majority of our actions, conscious & unconscious, are in some way influenced by religious, philosophical, or traumatic worldviews. we may just be able to break through to the 'universal love' so many wisdom teachers of the past have spoken about. 

Throughout this contemplation, continue to stay open to what wants to be shared with you. Contemplation, much like meditation, is multifaceted. It grants a very private and intimate look into what is living within. It invites us to challenge the facts we hold as truth & encourages us to look again. To explore this topic for ourselves & eventually open a larger, more inclusive dialogue with all we touch with our work & life.

If you prefer to read along, this contemplation is published in the Erah Society Journal.

In this episode, I sat down with Krystal Thompson, a seeker, guide, and founder of The Aura Lab - a modern mystery school dedicated to initiating, supporting, and elevating cosmic women along their soul paths.

She uses Human Design, Astrocartography, and Inner Voice Facilitation to help mystics reconnect with their internal guidance, become fluent in the language of energy, and transform their lives into an expression of the Divine within.

In this episode, I share my first time sitting with mushrooms. I learned & experienced so much. The 3 things I walked away with:

1. The method will never be the Source.
2. People are suffering despite their smiles.
3. I’m in the incorrect space. Not just Bali but industry-wise. 

What I know for sure is that I have nothing without a Personal Baseline & it's here that everything grows from. Similar to a very fertile garden bed, if we don't know the climate & needs of our Personal Baseline we'll keep sowing seeds wondering why nothing is fruiting. Enjoy.----more----

In this episode, I re-introduce Energy Fasting as I've developed this tool over the last 4 years. EF supported me in not only recentering my health but also keeping me attuned to my own field, direction & purpose. As entrepreneurs who are building businesses where we are sustainably resourced enough to enjoy our prosperity, practices like Energy Fasting have been my lifeline. If you don't already have a practice that prioritizes your holistic well being as you walk the path of entrepreneurship, or are wanting to add another one to your kit, then this episode is for you. Enjoy.

In this episode, I answered the questions sent in around the Anxiety Free Content Live Class. Creating content shouldn't be a place of dread and fear but many times it is because we don't have a plan or vision of our business. Business for me takes a minimum of 7 years to really uncover fully. Throughout that time we begin understanding our own depths along with how best we can implement Slow Business principles that support our gifts, talents & personal purpose. Marketing, messaging & content creation is a skill we entrepreneurs will have to find our own unique way through. If you missed the Live class, you can catch it through the link below. Enjoy.

Time Stamps
6:43- Introducing Epiphany.
8:47- Splenic Projector balancing creating in the moment & structure.
13:19- Selling with Calm digestion (Human Design determination).

In this episode, we’re moving beyond the binary thinking that to be rich is unethical and to be poor means you’re in integrity. The majority of us desire to live as our God Self, True Self, Authentic Self but can get easily caught up in the projections of the world or from others. As Spiritual beings having a very material & human life, this static of all-or-nothing beliefs can create stagnation in our lives, businesses & bodies. Alex openly shares his experience with cheating at a job, getting fired & coming back into acceptance of his essential desire to be financially stable. Didn’t think we’d get this deep but I know collectively we are navigating this. What I know for sure is that we each deserve our version of a fulfilled human incarnation. Enjoy.

In this epsiode, I'm sharing a fire message first to myself & secondly to you. I speak to my personal realizations around undervaluing myself, my intelligence, genius, empathy etc. As a Black Woman in this space, I will no longer be standing for internalized or externalized violence against myself or others. Respect yourself, your voice needs to be amplified, your mission needs to be heard & you need to be taken care of. As entrepreneurs, we can not afford to devalue ourselves in any way, we are the biggest asset we have. Enjoy.

In this episode, I'm talking about starting over, one of my favorite topics & something that should be more normalized. In business, we are constantly starting over. Creating another refined version and this act shouldn't be seen as a failure but as an opening. As founders & entrepreneurs, this is one of the most fertile seasons because it shows not only are we growing but we are becoming deeply aware. If you're in a space where your business is calling for its next iteration, then this episode is for you. Enjoy.
