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...

Bridge to Being

What happens when your worst childhood nightmare becomes a reality? Can you see through the illusion, the reality of what is real/not real? On the heels of three weekends of epiphanies and enlightenment, amid Colorado mountain beauty and koi pond and pumpkin patch, that is exactly what happened. Fly away with Lobsterbird as she shares her experience in a tender place, an *inverse conscious unconscious creation* in which her worst nightmare serves to heal her worst nightmare. Your Creative Sparks: TIME and SPACE are not as they seem. In fact, they are not even REAL. There is a BELL CURVE to...

Bridge to Being

In her first solo walk with us in months, Lobsterbird travels along a magical path lined with multi-colored mushrooms, catching us up on her adventures through the many realms of spirituality, entrepreneurship, pilgrimage, the quantum field and more. Join us on the border of the forest of the New Jersey Pine Barrens, where the New Jersey Devil is in fact said to live, as Lobsterbird faces parasitic hunters in order to return home with the healing elixir she discovered along her hero's journey.   Your Creative Sparks: COLLABORATE with FEAR.

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. I see you, and therefore I can see me....

Mystery is present in the lush, fertile spirals of Ireland. Soulful conversation flows between Lobsterbird and Maryanne Chaney as they sit upon thousands of blades of grass and are licked in the face by furry creatures. Above is a gorgeous sky of blue filled with fluffy, cotton clouds. And below? Who knows? Could be worms… bugs… poop? What does poop have to do with a state of grace, balanc-ing and spiraling up? Only everything. And how much are you willing to let go to find out?

Bridge to Being

Today we are transmitting from the beautiful, sensual land of Bali in Indonesia, introducing *Yoni Dancer* fresh from the Bali Pilgrimage. Lyoni experienced the “arc of healing” which represented lifetime of healing in only ten days. The crucible of pilgrimage allowed her to discover she could be her authentic self, in all her unique glory, and still be accepted, embraced and loved. She also discovered a new language of energy, one that is felt in the body and personified in the dance.

Bridge to Being

This hero’s global journey leads her Home. But where is Home? 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. We can be at home amid the symphony of crickets, cicada and geckos, under the pitter patter of rain on a thatched roof. “I can find Home where I am - Where the Heart is. I now finish this story to release it and let it go, because there is a new story to be to

Bridge to Being

As Part Two of this story unfolds, we discover the fantastical how this Lobsterbird landed on her spiritual path. On the heels of completing the Shikoku Pilgrimage, and having read “A Tale for the Time Being” by Ruth Ozeki, Sophia returned to a life that was fundamentally and dramatically changed. She was seriously considering moving into a monastery and becoming a nun. “A Wrinkle in Time” lands her instead in Maine, risking life and limb to release trapped lobsters back into the wild...

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.

Your Travelogue

  • How Kim’s chronic illness led her “into the cave” where she found the shamanic path offered the radical healing she needed to get herself out of bed and back into life. [5:06]
  • The one thing she wanted to do most was travel again, even if it was virtual. Then Kim met Sophia’s and joined her first virtual pilgrimage. That led to sacred site healings, and she started to feel better. Since then, she has traveled with the League of Heroes to Tulum, the UK, and now Bali, in 2018 alone. [8:29]
  • A life or death decision: How the Temazcal sweat lodge ceremony in Tulum challenged both the teacher and the student. [14:35]
  • After 20 years of shamanic training, it was Kim’s personal healing that finally gave her the courage to step up and lead others on their own healing journey. [22:02]
  • Bringing in the higher consciousness into shamanic practice and merging the new awareness with the old ways. [25:42]
  • Bringing shamanism to the western world: The tale of Michael Harner, an anthropologist who studied the headshrinkers and was invited to do a vision quest with them. [29:10]
  • Rhythm is an important part of the shamanic journey because it transports us. Drumming gets us into that theta trance space without the use of illicit drugs. [31:07]
  • The three worlds: Why you would go there and what kind of work you would do there? [36:39]
  • You can sit with the rock people and listen to their stories. Same with the stars and the animals. They all have something unique to teach you. The Earth NEEDS more people who can connect with the Nature Spirits again. [40:33]
  • The shamanic path and soul retrieval: “I don’t think people understand what WHOLE means.” [50:16]
  • Kim’s new apprenticeship program begins in January. In it, she teaches how to connect with the ancestors of the land, how to work with the medicine wheel, symbolism and animal communication, and the survival archetypes of energy. [55:55]
  • Pilgrimage + Shamanism = the fastest path to transformation. [1:01:45]
