Phoebe Wyss is a seasoned astrologer with more than 40 years of experience, she is the author of three astrology books and a meditator on the Osho path. In this episode, I speak with Phoebe Wyss about cosmology, sacred geometry, quarter days, synchronicity and experiential astrology as a path of self-discovery. We also talk about her pioneering astrology game Lebensrad, the Wheel of Life, which she created and published in Germany in the 1980s. The game was built on synchronicity, and Phoebe describes how people repeatedly received answers that felt uncannily relevant to what they were...

We have been on the edge for so long - now we are here! What do we do now with the confrontational and autonomous energy? If you want inspiration to answer that for yourself, this is the episode to tap into. Even if not, because there is more to this conversation - You will meet Evolutionary Astrologer and teacher Dabney Lawless, who also has her own YouTube channel with excellent interviews and solo content. In this episode, she shares why she believes astrology is, in a way, lawless, as well as her own recent healing experiences through Chiron transits. We then dive into a collective energy...

Our guest today, Joel Blackstock, is deeply inspiring. Whether you’re passionate about therapy or simply curious, this conversation is getting you there - we explore the natural therapeutic evolution, how pattern recognition is central and then Joel breaks down the differences between EMDR and Brainspotting, and then takes us further into Emotional Transformation Therapy. I highly recommend listening to this one.

This is such a rich episode! Meet Justin Wilford (IFS practitioner, writer, and former academic) who for some sick reason has two PhD's. But that is all in the past. Now he is full time working with IFS (Internal Family Systems therapy) both client-work, teaching groups and retreats. COME and be with us as we explore the core ideas of IFS, including multiplicity, Self, burdens and the UB's, and the insight that our parts are not just protective, but sacred.

"What are the deeper psychological needs trying to be met through this new technology? What are the hidden archetypal patterns at play in turning to the prospect of a different kind of mind, a mind not quite human, perhaps a mind that is more than human? In this liminal space, we find a spectrum of fantasies ranging from a coming utopia ushered in by the potentials of these immaculately conceived technologies, to the enslavement or destruction of humanity by rogue AI that has outsmarted its programmers."* WELCOME to such a rich episode, where technological philosopher, mythologist, futurist...

This is the second part of our (yes, yours and mine!) meeting with Kingsley L. Dennis, who holds a PhD and works as a full-time writer and researcher. He is the author of more than twenty-five books and numerous articles, making it no small task to choose what to focus on!! But today is long planned job (planned by myself Mannah)of me bringing some challenging questions to Kingsley, as I recently read his 2020 book "The Modern Seeker: A Perennial Psychology for Contemporary Times." We explore what the perennial path is, and how it can be expressed through the modern language of psychology....

In her book Black Paths and Green Cathedrals: A Guide to Ecological Paganism, Sian Sibley writes: "greed and gluttony are not just permitted, they are encouraged, driven by a profiteering media that feeds our fears because fear sells. And yet, no one ever tells us what ‘enough’ even means. We are kept hungry on purpose, starved of contentment, because a person who knows they have enough is a person who cannot be controlled." WOW. This wow factor goes all through our conversation. So welcome dear listener to TAP into a conversation about: -How working with trees is very different from...

”Using astrology psychologically is not a recent trend, though; it was widespread among the alchemists of Europe, such as Paracelsus and Athanasius Kircher, who sought to undergo the great work or magna opus of transforming and transmuting the self. Astrology later attracted the attention of Western psychologists and psychiatrists” (quote from Maja D’Aoust) TAP in with us as we speak of: Shadow work, subconscious influences, counter-part, your double ganger and alter-ego and why it is so important and so natural! Here are some of the themes we talk about: -The unexpressed energy in...

I had to do one more interview at the astro-conference when I heard Katharina Westblikk speak!! It turns out she also works therapeutically at her Arhat Center. She is an esoteric astrologer, healer, yoga teacher, lecturer, and the owner of Arhat Center in Bergen, Norway. Tap in as we talk about what esoteric astrology is..I come into the conversation with a certain frame of reference due to the high horse I have experienced many esoteric astrologers to be on, but there is an explanation of the hight. Also...Mind you, I’m in a sensitive state as I didn’t get much sleep... Be intrigued...
info_outlineIf you are curious about mediumship, I really recommend this interview with medium, teacher and author Tiffany Hopkins. We talk about her book, "Beyond – A Living Person’s Guide to the Dead" (2025), which I find to be an easy read, as well as very informative and mind-expanding. I would call Tiffany Hopkins a visionary in this area of mediumship, and I am so glad for this conversation with her. You are very welcome to tap in with us as Tiffany Hopkins shares about:
-How she became a medium in a town of mediums
-Tiffany worked in tech for 20 years, and it is not too far off from mediumship
-Spiritualism, the Second Great Awakening, and Lily Dale
-How mediumship and working with AI are similar
-The need for discernment
-Staying connected to different aspects of your being
-The foundation of mediumship and why it changes us
-The experience becoming real as it is shared
-Creativity and mediumship—where you receive and express
-The importance of therapeutic support and being validated
-The countercultural component of mediumship
-Will mediumship be culturally accepted?
-Mediumship as inherently healing and care work
-The therapeutic context
-Now—what if not all the information is from spirit? Tiffany has a neuroscience background and offers her new two metaphors for what is happening in mediumship
-Evidence for Spirit
-Improvisation as we listen to both at the same time
-Can you bring in information and integrate it?
-The spiritual connection is not practical!
-LONELINESS—and a potential loneliness renaissance
-the social construct of this one romantic partner (I relate this comment then to the Pluto in Scorpio generation)
-The Pluto in Scorpio generation is born from 5th of November 1983 to 10th of November 1995 (with retrograde returns during the period so be sure to check out your actual birth day) and we talk about the deep heartbreak that often comes in relationship because we are to grow so much, that we need the pain head first- for healing to occur the trauma need expositon/confrontation/that we dare deal with it.
