Sumi Dishes on Korean Food and Being Satisfied on Long Beach Island
Bridge to Being
Today’s episode is going to be a little unconventional, kind of like our Lobsterbird. We are going to be getting a bit quantum in this episode with her mother, Sumi, who is also a known food psychic. Modern Magic has brought Sophia back to her childhood home on Long Beach Island, where Sumi shakes a ham at her and answers deep questions about banchan (Korean tiny side dishes), fortune, and how our quality of life might be tied to the quality of tradition and culinary provision from the land. Your Creative Sparks: KOREAN FOOD is very tied to the LAND and to the SEASONS. GOOD FOOD is...

The Looking Glass of Your Love Frequency with Julie Pierce in Ireland
Bridge to Being
Lobsterbird returns to us from the rolling land, a myriad of greens and wildflowers, so many fields that just ARE. They aren't getting mowed, and they are perfectly perfect anyway. The animals are keeping them. Grasses are growing where they need to grow. The flowers are reaching up. With Julie Pierce, we reflect on our truth and being-ness - one can only behold that which is within. When we look through this mirror with radical acceptance and love, we enter a portal that beams with our radiant heart. Your Creative Sparks: The origin of the YOUME TREE.

The Art of Yoni Dancing with Lyoni Fisher in Bali
Bridge to Being
Today we are transmitting from the beautiful, sensual land of Bali in Indonesia, introducing *Yoni Dancer* fresh from the Bali Pilgrimage.

She also discovered a new language of energy, one that is felt in the body and personified in the dance.

Home is a place where we build our world with our breath, letting the walls be an air of spaciousness and freedom for all beings, including animal beings, plant beings and human beings.

#47 Audioblog Storytime!, Part 1: The Great Lobster Rescue Back Story
Bridge to Being
The more we tell our stories, the further they move from the truth. Thankfully, this story was recorded close to the truth in a blog written back in 2015, after Lobsterbird returned from her first pilgrimage in Shikoku, Japan. Her entire reality was shattered and shifted. She returned home completely rudderless, left out in the spaciousness to rediscover what the world really is - and what our path is, and how to find it. This episode was recorded Live in Bali as part of a deep investigation of HOME.

- Sumi says we should accept what life gives us. Except she wants Korean food. It’s hard to accept American food.
- Is there a problem praying to Buddha AND Jesus? Sumi says, no problem!
- Sumi says one lie never stays one lie. It always grows.
After driving solo across the country, traveling around the world, going on pilgrimage in Mongolia and Canyon de Chelly, Lobsterbird returns to her childhood home in southern NJ. She’s been on a hero’s journey. She has witnessed and experienced a lot of darkness. Her illusions of reality have been completely shattered. “Who do I trust? What is it that I believe in?” She felt at a loss, so she prayed. And the answer to her prayer was standing in the kitchen. The inimitable Sumi, who Sophia simply calls, Mom.
