The Intuitive Mojo of the Shaman The Mojo Sessions

The Mojo Sessions with Gary Bertwistle

I was recently hosted on the Mojo Sessions Podcast by Gary Bertwistle. The Mojo Sessions features intimate conversations with the world's most interesting people. Gary has collected over three hundred interviews with some of the world's most interesting minds. The podcast series takes a minimalist approach and focuses on the guest to bring you valuable and memorable conversations.

Gary is a masterful interviewer. He goes beyond the superficial, easy questions to the deeper, more insightful inquiry. Gary related specific passages in my memoir, The Shaman's Wife: A Mystical Journey of Surrender and Self-Discovery, to awakening to new levels of consciousness. I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with him. I'm sharing it here because you will leave with new ideas and renewed perspectives on nurturing a spiritual life. Admittedly, this is a long podcast, an hour and fifteen minutes, mainly because it was such a rich conversation. I'm confident you'll find it worth your time.

Here are some of the things we discussed.

• conscious leadership and systems change

• radical coaching questions that shift a client

• the role of intuition in human development

• what a shaman and shamanism is/is not

• The Shaman’s Wife - my story - we discuss some excerpts from my book

• the spiritual longing

• the role of shamanism in my coaching

• thresholds and limitless possibilities

• coming to wholeness through surrender

• what white water rafting taught me

• suffering, love, and loss

• what is amor propio, and why it is fundamental to a life of meaning

• ancestral memories and trauma
