In this episode, I’m joined by Debbi Dachinger, award-winning host of the Dare to Dream podcast, shamanic practitioner, healer, author, and so much more. Debbi’s path has woven together journalism, indigenous shamanic traditions, energy medicine, and direct inquiry into humanity’s relationship with non-human intelligence, making her a uniquely grounded voice in conversations about the unseen and the cosmic.

We begin with Debbi’s personal life story and the experiences that shaped her path, including how she was chosen and trained within shamanic lineages and how those initiations opened her awareness to multidimensional realities. She shares how her calling unfolded organically through service, healing work, and a deep remembering of who she is beyond this lifetime. From there, our conversation expands into what it means to connect with your galactic family as an embodied remembrance that many people are quietly awakening to right now.

A theme of our discussion is the idea that before incarnating, many of us entered into agreements — conscious soul contracts — to be here at this time as lightworkers, wayshowers, and catalysts for planetary transformation. Debbi offers insight into how these agreements reveal themselves through intuition, synchronicity, and a persistent sense of mission. We explore how shamanic wisdom intersects with galactic consciousness, how ancient Earth traditions have always understood humanity as part of a much larger cosmic family, and why so many people feel a growing urgency to remember why they came here.

We also dive deeply into the meaning of the starseed mission itself — what it actually represents beyond labels, why some souls feel out of place in this world yet deeply committed to helping it evolve, and how remembering that mission can realign your life with purpose, compassion, and clarity.

An incredible episode! Drop in!

In this episode, Brynn Anderson and I listen together to a rare lecture from the legend Manly P. Hall, recorded on December 22, 1985, before a live audience in Los Angeles, as a way of consciously opening a new year. In this lecture, Hall uses the turning of the season as a metaphor for the rebirth of light and life within each of us, emphasizing that every new year presents the same quiet invitation: to realign. He speaks of happiness not as something to pursue, but as a natural byproduct of alignment; when thought, action, and inner purpose come into harmony with universal law. Rather than urging external change, Hall points toward inner maturity as the true foundation for renewal.

A central theme of the talk is light itself. Hall describes the sun as both a macrocosmic source of life and a microcosmic symbol of the illumination each person carries within. To "act as the light within" he suggests, is to live in a way that naturally expresses clarity, balance, and understanding. Over the course of his lifetime, Hall returned again and again to this idea: that personal growth and inner responsibility are not only spiritual ideals, but the real solution to our collective challenges.

As we listen, Brynn and I take notes, and we reconven after to reflect on what we have learned.. This episode offers a different kind of New Year opening - one grounded in awareness rather than urgency, and rooted in the understanding that lasting change begins with alignment, as we step forward carrying the light we’ve cultivated within.

Born in Peterborough, Ontario, Hall moved to the United States at a young age and soon became a prominent lecturer on occult and metaphysical topics. His curiosity and passion for ancient wisdom culminated in the publication of *The Secret Teachings of All Ages* in 1928, Over his lifetime, he authored more than 150 books and delivered over 8,000 lectures. His teachings spanned subjects such as Hermeticism, Rosicrucianism, astrology, comparative religion, and the symbolism found in sacred texts.In 1934, Hall founded the Philosophical Research Society (PRS) in Los Angeles, a center dedicated to the study of philosophy, comparative religion, and personal development. The PRS continues to preserve his vast collection of manuscripts and teachings.Hall's work has had a lasting impact on those seeking spiritual growth, often serving as a bridge between modern spiritual seekers and ancient wisdom traditions.

In this episode, I talk with Gary Lachman, author, cultural historian, and founding member of Blondie. Gary is widely regarded as one of the most prolific contemporary writers on Western esotericism, consciousness, and the hidden currents shaping culture.

Our conversation centers on his most recent book, 'Touched by the Presence: From Blondie’s Bowery and Rock and Roll to Magic and the Occult', his second autobiography and a deeply personal account of his spiritual development. The book traces his journey from the New York punk scene into a lifelong engagement with mysticism, synchronicity, and the inner life, exploring how moments of contact with something beyond the ordinary can quietly redirect an entire existence.

We talk about Gary’s early influences and how classic comic books, science fiction, and music helped form an imaginative framework that later opened naturally into esoteric study. We then talk about his journey of unfoldment, as his life story seems to intertwine with the growing counter culture of 70's and beyond. We continue into how those experiences, including meeting Debbie Harry, shaped his world view and led him into to becoming one of the most prolific writers in esoterica.. He reflects on the shamanic and transformative power of music, including the unique cultural and spiritual field surrounding the Grateful Dead, and how sound itself can function as a vehicle for altered states and collective meaning.

Gary also shares insights from his brief time connected with the O.T.O., the realities many seekers encounter when entering formal occult structures, and his broader reflections on how human beings intuit, dream, and sometimes prefigure the future before it fully arrives.

This episode is a thoughtful exploration of art, music, memory, mysticism, and so much more.. Drop In!
