In Nina's words... "I was raised in Paris by an American mother and a French father and exposed to philosophy, art and beauty from an early age. I carried this interest into my studies at Brown University and my work at Sotheby's. My study of healing modalities started in my twenties with the death of my parents. At that time, I realized that my calling was to be of service to the beauty within us. I am grateful to all the guides along the way who have held space for me.

Sheila Nicholls' first brush with fame was when she streaked into public consciousness in an act of radical self exposure. Live at a Lords cricket match between England and Australia at the Ashes in 1989 she did naked cartwheels propelling herself onto the front pages of the tabloids in Britain and much of the commonwealth. It was her first feminist action. She was 19 and a few months later she went to stay with a friend in LA and didn’t go home. No one had even heard of A levels. Fantastic. She has released three critically acclaimed albums: Brief Strop (1999), Wake (2002), and Songs From the Bardo (2009). In each album, smattered between songs of desire and yearning, are rousing feminist fantasies, testimonies to the failure of war, commentaries on the ridiculousness of worldwide chest-beating, anthems to the freedom gained if we just rewrote our collective mythology, and the personal eternal journey to rewrite one’s own.

In Astara's Own Words: "Before I founded Flower of Life Press alongside my husband Scott, I was a Transpersonal Psychotherapist and book designer turned accomplished Creative Director within the realms of a larger international publishing house. In my tenure, I realized how the voices of womxn were far too sparse and the barrier to releasing your message into the world was too complicated for any modern goddess with an enriching and healing story to share. I wanted to be an author advocate and uplift the voices of womxn. I knew I needed to create a container where they could be fully supported while writing their groundbreaking manuscripts and developing their body of work—whatever that might look like! I now spend my days supporting writers, like yourself, to birth their stories, market their books, and become bestselling authors who are seen as experts in their field. In my spare time, you’ll find me writing, making art, and walking on the beach in Connecticut with my writer-husband and our 3 multi-passionate daughters, or playing cards with my elderly parents down the street. I am a seeker who loves exploring life’s mysteries, especially through the Creative Arts, ceremonial plant medicine, and Sacred Travel.  As a Priestess of the 13 Moon Mystery School, The Rose Mystica Mystery School, and a Spiritual Mentor, I am devoted to walking the path of the open heart and supporting womxn to embody their sovereignty, elevate their consciousness, and breakthrough any internal barriers… to a level of presence, passion, and power they never dreamed possible."

Having grown up in a spiritual community that recently and rightly shattered, Jai-Jagdeesh spent the past few years confronting uncomfortable truths and questioning long-cemented beliefs. Oftentimes in the wake of devastating revelations, asking “why” and “how” comes first, followed closely by introspection. Layers of trauma reveal themselves, the foundation crumbles, and a painful process begins.

Paige Allia's favorite description of her is when a student described her as a peace warrior. This resonated with Paige and she strives to bring this fierce sense into every space she encounters. Paige is a survivor and is passionate about the work she does to support other survivors of sexual and domestic violence as a program coordinator for Hope Shores Alliance in Alpena, Michigan as well as in guiding participants in trauma informed yoga classes. Paige incorporates soundscapes, reiki, guided relaxation, breath work, and yoga poses to encourage her students to explore their bodies and minds to connect to their souls and heartfelt desires. Music has been integral to Paige's life since she was a toddler learning Suzuki method violin and has studied music for over 20 years. Paige sees music as one aspect that makes us uniquely human. Paige is a bit silly and she laughs rather loudly at times. She loves to eat, she devours books, and she loves playing with her three cats and cattle dog.  More info on Paige: https://www.karmicrootsyoga.com/ ------------ ABOUT YOUR HOST: Porter Singer is a spiritually-inclined musician, podcaster, and creative sound mentor.

New Orleans' Seán Johnson & The Wild Lotus Band create a universal style of cross-cultural spiritual music filtered through the depth, sincerity, and soul of their own American and ancestral roots. Their music merges conscious lyrics, sacred chants from the spiritual traditions of yoga and beyond, and roots, rock, gospel, and global grooves. They are known for creating interactive, soul-stirring songs to dance and sing along with as well as to grieve and heal. In 2005, Seán founded the band as a post-hurricane Katrina philanthropic music project, raising funds across the country for relief from the devastation of the storm. The theme of searching for grace and inspiration amidst challenge and destruction has permeated their music ever since. In 2007, they released their first album, ‘Calling The Spirits’ which caught the ears of pioneering Canadian record producer Terry McBride, founder of Nettwerk Records and Lilith Fair. McBride signed the band to Nettwerk for the release of their follow-up album, ‘Devaloka.’ When Putumayo World Music founder, Dan Storper heard ‘Devaloka,’ he chose music off the record to be featured on Putumayo’s first compilation of music designed for yoga. Inclusion on three Putumayo albums has helped propel the band’s music to listeners across the globe. Their last album ‘Unity’ debuted #1 on the iTunes World Music Chart and #3 on Billboard. Their upcoming album ‘Mystery’ will be released on October 29th on Be Still Records. They are a favorite headliner at conscious music festivals across the U.S. and have played The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival on multiple occasions. In addition to being a musician, Seán is also a respected yoga teacher and teacher trainer who teaches at conferences and retreat centers internationally including Yoga Journal, Kripalu, Bhakti Fest, and The German Yoga Conference. He is the founder of Wild Lotus Yoga in his beloved hometown dubbed "New Orleans' Home for Heart-Centered Yoga," and Soul School, an interdisciplinary yoga teacher training program that focuses on teaching yoga with skill, heart, and imagination that he guides with Mitchel Bleier. He has a Master’s degree from The Naropa Institute-Oakland with focus on teaching chant as spiritual practice, apprenticing there with south Indian musician and teacher Russill Paul, author of 'The Yoga Of Sound.' He is the co-curator and coordinator of Putumayo World Music’s yoga music series. Seán is passionate about his Irish roots and ancestry, a pillar of his spirituality. He co-leads online Celtic Spirituality gatherings and retreats in Ireland each year with his friend, Ireland native Mary Meighan, founder of Celtic Journeys. In all these roles, Seán relishes creating a playful, tender, brave space for people to open their hearts and voices, and embrace their innate creativity.   For more info, visit www.SeanJohnsonAndTheWildLotusBand.com   You can also connect with Seán on Instagram and Facebook. And you can find the band's music, including their new album 'Mystery' wherever music is available online.    -- :: EARTH BREEZE LAUNDRY SHEETS :: These Earth-friendly dehydrated laundry sheets will leave your clothes super clean, without the waste of bulky plastic containers.
