Be Mythical

This week's show is with Mary Reynolds. Mary Reynolds is an accomplished landscape designer who gained international recognition after debuting at the Chelsea flower show in 2002. Her inspiring story was featured in the 2016 film "Dare to be Wild".

In addition to being a bestselling author and occasional television presenter, she also founded "We are the ARK", a global movement aimed at promoting practical solutions for preserving the environment. Mary is also an advocate for safe and sustainable food production, and actively campaigns against harmful practices such as the use of pesticides, herbicides, GMOs, and fossil fuels. Despite her many accomplishments, Mary remains humble and is known to dabble in cooking.
In this conversation, Mary and I explored the arking movement, why she sees its so necessary, what can get in the way of us going from gardeners to guardians, the small changes we can all make to be part of healing the land, and how ultimately it’s healing ourselves.

We’d love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below or share in our fb group.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

  • Arking is something tangible and accessible that we can all do in some way, rather than waiting for someone or something else to create the solution, and if enoigh of us do it it could create a tipping point in consciousness

  • As we support the land to heal, it will provide a reflection of and support our own healing in ways that are truly magical

  • We can begin small and simply by stopping the use of chemicals, creating small passageways between our garden and surrounding land, turning land back to nature, removing non-native species, and watching and waiting.

This week's show is with William Apple. William Apple is a Psychological and Spiritual Mentor, as well as a Psychodynamic Coach.

The Foundation of his Work is rooted in Carl Jung’s Concept of “Individuation”, and takes a new approach towards fostering a conscious relationship with that Process by quantifying a Depth Psychological and Psychoanalytic approach to the Inner Child as a Precursor to Shadow Work. He is Certified in CBT, DBT, ACT, IFS, and Polyvagal Theory, and his Inner Child Work is strongly influenced by Alice Miller, D.W. Winnicott, Jacque Lacan, Marion Woodman, Magda Gerber, Bell Hooks, and many others.

In this conversation, William and I explored the unfolding journey of creating a relationship with the inner child, how confronting it can feel to see how much of our life has been created from the wounding of the child, and how we can be with that in an accepting and accountable way, and lastly and maybe surprisingly, given what a gloomy picture I may have just painted - how it can be a beautiful and playful experience!

We’d love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below or share in our fb group.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

  • The inner child is all the wounded parts of us that have been fractured through conditioning and the parts of us that have been created as coping mechanisms as a result

  • The fish metaphor that arose is one that I think is very helpful in allowing us to see the depths of the conditioning - as William said “We’ve been led to believe we’re fish!”

  • I loved what William said about how those of us who have been in the work for many years, it’s not been a waste of time - it’s actually a map back to ourselves if we look at the work and our fantasies about it, it can reveal so much about our wounds. We can continue doing that work, with awareness and actually enjoying the play!

This week's show is with Frederica Helmiere. Frederica Helmiere is a complexity enthusiast and an aficionado of transformational learning experiences. Frederica currently serves as Director of the Synthesis Institute's Psychedelic Practitioner Training program.

Prior to this, she served as Director of Education at Spiritual Directors International, designing online learning experiences for advanced spiritual professionals. In the past she has served as a Peace Corps volunteer, a global interfaith peacebuilder, a bike mechanic, log cabin builder, and faculty at the University of Washington and Seattle University.

Fascinated by the ways that consciousness, worldviews and discourses change and expand, she has spent the past twenty years exploring the tools available to respond to civilizational crises, especially the modern West's loss of the sacred.

Frederica holds masters degrees from Yale Divinity School and the Yale School of the Environment, and a BA from Dartmouth College in Religion & Environmental studies. She lives in Seattle with her husband and daughters.

In this conversation, Frederica and I explored education and training for psychedelic practitioners in the emerging psychedelic landscape, the different ways we can learn a craft, the notion of ‘calling’, and the readiness to practice.

We’d love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below or share in our fb group.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

  • I love what Frederica spoke about in terms of the different ways of knowing: somatic/embodied, cognitive, sacred and relational. We so heavily prize cognitive knowing in the modern culture and yet it clearly is only one way, not the only way.

  • The practices of healing and guiding are thousands of years old, and whilst there very much can be a place for formal training and accreditation, lived experience over many years is something that also has deep value - we can consciously bring both together

  • Whilst we can think that all we need is a certificate of accreditation, I love what Frederica said about the gnosis of readiness to serve can come directly from Spirit or from our community recognising that we have a much-needed skill to offer.
