Liminal Wisdom for Unsettling Times with Zenju Earthlyn Manuel

Season 3 · Episode 20

Friday, February 13, 2026 • Duration 55:02

"You never know what will wake you up and bring you back into the awakened state that you were born in." —Osho Zenju Earthlyn

Osho Zenju Earthlyn, a poet, author, ordained Zen priest, and medicine woman of the drum, has written the manuals for our time. Years ago, after reading two of her books—Opening To Darkness and The Shamanic Bones of Zen—it was clear to me that she understands the medicine that would be deeply needed now. I was excited for our conversation, and it offered profound gems of wisdom for these times.

We talked about how she arrived on the Zen Buddhism path, how she considers it a path of liberation to live a full life, exploring the layers of meaning of darkness, extraction that takes place in spiritual circles, rituals and ceremony, and so much more.

Dream Wisdom with Athena Laz

Season 2 · Episode 10

Wednesday, November 27, 2024 • Duration 41:13

Dreams are messengers of insights, prophecies, and creative inspirations, a doorway to discovering more about what lies in the depths of our being. Paying attention to our dreaming life is a way of weaving practice into a full cycle of a day and honoring the states of consciousness that we usually dismiss as not real or unimportant. They are also a way to help us heal.

In this episode of Radiant Rest, Tracee Stanley hosts a fascinating conversation with Athena Laz, an intuitive, dream teacher, psychologist & author of The Alchemy of Your Dreams and The Deliberate Dreamers Journal, about dreaming as a powerful pathway to healing. They discuss:

The story of how Athena discovered the world of dreams and the power they behold
Different types of dreaming, including lucid, cognitive, and prophetic dreaming
How to work with dreams and the symbols that arise in them
What happens when we don't pay attention to what our dreams are trying to tell us
The difference between lucid dreaming and astral projection

Much more, including a visualization practice to connect with the dreaming world
