This week’s show is with Be Mythical co-founders, Lian Brook-Tyler and Jonathan Wilkinson.

In this conversation, a special 10-year episode of the podcast, Lian and Jonathan reflect on their journey, including the deep unfolding of the show itself, and answer listener questions posed to each of them.

They discuss the organic and spontaneous nature of starting the podcast and the importance of trusting their intuition, the dedication and vision it has taken to be consistent over so many years.

The personal and thought-provoking questions they asked and answered were:

• If you had to drop all your different practices and only keep one - what would it be and why?

• Looking back on the past 10 years, what are you most proud of? And is there anything you regret or would like to have done differently?

• If you could give one piece of guidance to a young man who is struggling with life, what would it be?

• What is something about you that you’ve rarely or never spoken about publicly before that you feel ready to speak about now?

• If you could go back in time 10 years ago and tell yourself something at the outset of this podcasting journey what would that be?

• If you could whisper into everyone’s ear in the world at the same time in whatever their language is what would that be?

• What was the most powerful experience of your life?

• Where is the most magical place you have been?

• If you were trapped on a desert island what one item, spiritual or not, would you bring?

In responding to these questions, Jonathan and Lian talked about the power of vision quests and the impact they can have on personal growth and maturity, the concept of mirrors and how they can provide deep self-reflection, finding beauty in suffering, and the magic of the English land.

The conversation concludes with a powerful message of love and self-discovery.

We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

• Looking back on the reason the podcast began shows the importance of trusting intuition and following the organic and spontaneous nudges that show up along the way.

• Many of their answers came back to the importance of self-discovery and the different ways we can walk the path of knowing thyself

• And now a question for you, the listener, imagine if you could be transported in time to a decade into the future and take a look at your future self, living your own soul’s truth… What would you see? And what does that require of you now?

This week’s show is with Chris Lüttichau. Chris is the founder of Northern Drum Shamanic Centre, a UK-based educational organisation offering a renewed perspective on traditional shamanic and medicine teachings, and a safe grounding from which to learn them established in 1998.

Chris is the keeper of an integral body of teachings that he shares in workshops and ongoing training groups. The teachings cover a broad range of topics from healing and the art of dreaming to spirit contact and the way of the council. Chris is the author of the critically acclaimed book on shamanism ‘Calling Us Home – Find Your Path, Your Balance and Your Inner Strength’ published in 2017 and ‘Animal Spirit Guides: Discover your Power Animal and the Shamanic Path’ published 2009. He is an international teacher, and has appeared on TV on BBC 1, and in Denmark on TV2, and has given radio interviews in the USA, Canada, and the UK.

In this show, Chris and Lian explored the intersection of shamanism and working with myths and archetypes.

They discuss the power of myths to reveal truth and teach us about ourselves and the universe. They also delve into the different ways that myths are understood in Western Vs. shamanic cultures, with the Western perspective often viewing myths as symbolic archetypes and the shamanic perspective seeing them as living, magical stories.

They highlight the importance of relating to myths from the heart and intuition rather than the analytical mind, and the role of myths in guiding us to live in harmony and prepare for death.

Overall, Lian and Chris invite listeners to build a bridge into the mythical reality.

Featured in Forbes, Rolling Stone, and the BBC's Worklife, he pioneers the convergence of psychedelics, personal transformation, and professional success.

Paul empowers leaders, creatives, and pioneers to leverage psychedelics for profound personal and professional growth. Paul's expertise also extends to microdosing, a trend gaining momentum. He authored "Mastering Microdosing," a comprehensive guide that seamlessly blends research and anecdotes. It's a transformative resource for leaders, creatives, and healers. He views psychedelics as refined skills cultivated through mentorship, exploration, and purposeful use—critical for humanity's ongoing evolution.

As the longest-standing and youngest entrepreneur in this field, Paul's focus on merging psychedelics with professional development is evident in his transformative training program Psychedelic Coaching Institute The program caters to individuals who seek to integrate their psychedelic experiences into their business practices, all under the guidance of one of the industry’s most trusted leaders.

In this show, Paul and Lian explored the topic of working with psychedelics in a healing and transformative capacity, especially for those of us already in the change-work field.

Paul shares his origin story and how he combined his passion for meaningful work and social impact with psychedelics.

They discuss the modern stigma around psychedelics Vs the historical use of these substances.

Lian and Paul talk about potential benefits of including psychedelics in change-work and emphasise the need for intention, reverence, responsibility, integration, and community when using psychedelics as a catalyst for healing and transformation.

We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

• Including psychedelics in change-work can break through deep conditioning and armoring, allowing for more subtle energetic techniques to be effective.

• The stigma around psychedelics is rooted in archaic religion and outdated policies, and it is important to move past this stigma to explore the potential benefits of these substances. The historical use of psychedelics in ancient and indigenous cultures suggests their benevolent impact on human consciousness.

• Creating systems change and a new paradigm requires a communal approach and a focus on impact and interconnectedness.
