On todays episode I talk about a lesson I learned from the sacred medicines retreat I attended at the Nada Brahma Healing Center in Costa Rica. To start things off I talk about the Center itself and the care that is taken to ensure that the experience is wonderful and fulfilling. I won't write more here, the episode stands for itself. Enjoy.

On today's podcast, we are joined by Lyndsay, who runs the YouTube and Instagram channels called "Bike-Hike_Botany". Lyndsay shares her journey of discovering her perfect place, Jaco, Costa Rica, after being raised in Canada and spending the last 20 years exploring unique places and pursuing diverse interests.

Lyndsay is a self-described "Tomboy" who enjoys outdoor activities such as surfing, biking, hiking, and botany. During the pandemic, she started taking videos of her hikes and bike rides, and also captured the amazing flora she found along the way. This led to the birth of her YouTube channel "Bike-Hike-Botany", which has over 60 episodes and counting. On her channel, she takes viewers on unique trails that showcase stunning views, fascinating plants, and interesting facts, inviting them to experience the paradise that is Costa Rica.

In addition to her love for the outdoors, Lyndsay has honed her skills as a furniture designer/maker, yoga instructor, free dive instructor, florist shop owner, avid botanist, hiker, freelance video editor, and digital creator. She has also lived in Malta, Egypt, and Costa Rica.

If you're looking for an adventure or simply enjoy appreciating nature's beauty, make sure to check out Lyndsay's channel on YouTube or Instagram. Stay safe and blessed, everyone!

On todays episode I talk about the mental and physical preparation for a sacred medicines retreat. I will be attending a retreat at the "Nada Brahma Healing Center" here in Costa Rica. I've been on the ground for a few weeks, eating right and focusing on my intentions. This episode talks about a few of my intentions and the progress I've gained from the process of focusing on my intentions. On this journey to self-awareness and understanding I've leaned heavily on journaling over the last couple of months and I've gained a deeper insight into myself. I highly recommend it. 

Set and Setting, key to a successful retreat and being able to bring a dynamic version of that into integration back into life. The real work starts after the retreat, so I will definitely do a follow-up episode to cover the retreat and the path of integration into my daily life.

Everyone be safe, stay blessed, and trust yourself. You're telling yourself more than you know.

In this episode, I chat with Bruce and Megan about their journey as digital nomads, having traveled the world for the past 6 years. Their adventure began in Thailand where they met and quickly discovered their complementary strengths. Bruce is the rational and organized one, while Megan is the risk-taker and adventure-seeker. Together, they have visited numerous countries, including Malaysia, South Africa, Europe, Costa Rica, Montenegro, Namibia, and Vietnam. Each new location presents its own set of challenges, but they have learned to navigate them together, making each place a life-changing experience.

One of the challenges that Bruce and Megan face is balancing their work and their desire to explore. As digital nomads, they rely on their work to sustain their travels, but they also want to take in all the breathtaking locations they visit. Despite this challenge, they have managed to find a balance that allows them to enjoy the pleasures of traveling and each other's company. They have also discovered that making friends and engaging with the local culture has enhanced their experiences. From enjoying weddings in Thailand or having friends everywhere they return to.

Their journey has been filled with ups and downs, but Bruce and Megan's synchronicity and love for adventure keep them going. The stars aligned to bring them together, and the world has kept them together. From the cave in Thailand to the mountains of South Africa and the beaches of Costa Rica, this episode showcases their amazing journey as digital nomads, exploring the world and sharing their love with others. 

Wonderful opportunity to meet Bruce and Megan, looking forward to hearing where their travels take them together. Don't forget to subscribe and always...stay blessed.

The time has come, less than a week I will no longer be a homeowner. I will once again be living out of a bag, this time to enjoy the adventures. On this episode I talk about the upcoming move and the "Insertion Phase" of living, podcasting and building health all over the place. To start things off I want to set the tone, get the balance and centering that comes from a healing retreat, meditation, diet, and intentions. I will be attending a retreat at the Nada Brahma Healing Center in Costa Rica. Once the retreat is complete I will have a clearer picture of where to go next. No pressure, no expectations..what a hard thing to do. The pressure of trying to have no expectations! Well, listen to the episode and you'll hear more no that.

Caught up with Jacob Bowman (The Journey Series) and started talking about his experience in Columbia as his Vision Quest. We are going to shoot for a couple of weeks for the episode, let us both get settled. Can't wait to chat with Jacob again, always so curious. Disrespectful Peasant!!

Alright everyone, stay safe, be blessed and show people the love out there. Lots of folks could use it, let em have it. Peace.
