This is huge mistake in the new-age community. Denouncing materialism because you think it’s “unspiritual”. The irony is that you say you’re content, yet you secretly long for something more. In this episode I offer a few insights to help you stop hiding behind your spirituality as a shield against ambition.

Most people have been taught a very limited understanding of what "mind" is AND how it works.
 
We typically think of mind as being locked inside our skulls – just our brain doing its thing. But this understanding of "mind fields" - particularly if you're an energetically sensitive person, can help change everything...

2025 is almost here. And while most people have big dreams, they continue to live a life of mediocrity.
Don't spend another year being one of them. You need intentional action. You need purposeful direction.
Stop the distractions and stagnation. Stop the procrastination and confusion.
You need vision.
Here's how you can cultivate it.

It’s been over a decade now since I started this journey in the shamanic healing arts for awakening and higher consciousness. And it's really over the past few years, with THIS year in particular, that the gears have shifted in a big way.
The Pilgrimage, Vision Quest, Kayaking with Whales, Interstate Journeys, Body Transformations, Further developing Esoteric Faculties of Mind, Desert Dreaming, Heavy Grieving...
This year has been a huge one, and it feels right to acknowledge this past season of my life on the podcast and share it with you all.
There's a fair bit of gold in this one - I reckon you'll gain some great insights and find it to be a valuable listen.
Thanks for tuning in, I appreciate it.

This is the story of my Personal Pilgrimage and Vision Quest in the Central Australian Desert.
For several days and nights I fasted in a small circle, in solitude, on top of sandy red desert dunes. The desert is harsh and my Quest was gruelling. Fierce winds whipped my tarp into a frenzy, the scorching sun was relentless, and the incessant attack of flies was next level. The days were unbearably long, and the nights ticked over slow as slow.
 
Despite the sleep deprivation and extreme conditions, the desert landscape is punctuated by a beauty beyond words. Rainbow bee-eaters darted between trees. Dawn and dusk brought a radiant palette of pastel colours. Wind gave ancient voice to the needle-like foliage of desert oak. Shooting stars careened across vast night sky. The veil of perception thinned, giving rise to mystical encounters with desert spirits.
 
You can expect to hear about all of this, including some of the challenges I faced, some of the themes such as grief and worthiness that I was presented with, some of the big questions that I was tussling with and got some clarity on, the importance of mystical encounters with the divine, the various emanations and qualities of the desert, my developing relationship with the wind, some insight and wisdom for high-level creatives, and a whole lot more.
Enjoy the ride.

There's a price to be paid for the rapid acceleration of transformation: the intensification of the death-rebirth process. My earliest Ayahuasca sessions fit the bill precisely, and for the first time ever, I share about those initial experiences on the podcast.
Remembering these profound experiences can be a challenge, and we often experience the fading, so I offer some practical insight into how to enhance our recall and anchor our experiences into our mind-body-soul complex with more lucidity.
I also riff on Rumi's wisdom, Rick Rubin and "The Creative Act", Christopher Basche's book "LSD and the Mind of The Universe: Diamonds From Heaven", and some timeless wisdom from the mountains.
Enjoy the ride.

If you’ve ever thought the plant medicine world was too serious, or if you take yourself too seriously, well... this is for you.
 
Nick Sun was an award-winning, international stand up comedian for 13 years. Then he drank Ayahuasca and had a malefic entity exorcism that ended a 12 year bout of depression.
 
Following this, he met Gaia, who informed him that the world was turning upside down and that she needed help. The Ayahuasca spirit then activated his deceased herbalist healer grandfather’s DNA within him and his life took a turn for the weird. He chronicled his spiritual awakening and descent to the underworld in his new book: No' Mo' Trippin'.
 
In this episode we talk about approaching the sacred with the profane, Nick's role of comedian within the world of plant medicines, mind parasites and demonic possession, the great forgetting and the myth of progress, disconnecting to reconnect (including disconnecting from plant medicine), land spirits in the Australian desert, paranormal experiences, hairy men, and more...
