The Mountain Mystic Podcast
Welcome to a new form of ascension path: an embodied spirituality that unfolds as we deepen into our present, lived experience for all that it is in these wild, often chaotic, often painful and challenging, yet infinitely beautiful lives lived as human beings. An embodied spirituality: one that demands that we know our very real, very alive world here on planet earth as we simultaneously learn to go within, know ourselves ever-more-deeply, and learn the discerning path of healing, of transformation, and of wild & deep fulfillment.
When I left my life as a Biomedical Researcher in pursuit of a path that could truly help heal the world, I didn't expect my greatest teacher to come in the form of Earth, herself. But that's what happened! Along with guidance from a diverse set of ancient wisdom traditions and some phenomenal modern teachers, I've been able to carve out my own path out of a modern industrial complex and, moment by moment, learn to choose what is healing and nurturing and joyful and fulfilling!
As a trail runner and rock climber, it is my bond with the great outdoors that taught me deep truths about our misalignment with Nature and our own selves. Here, may we step into conversation focused on re-alignment with our true nature. Through it, may we find a better path forward as we heal the deep wounds cut into all living systems.

Embodying a New Vision for Planet Earth [New Earth Embodiment]
I am sitting here watching LA on fire: the latest catastrophe hitting our planet with devastating effects; and I am holding space for how I can best lead myself and my communities into the healing and transformation that we are all ready for. And I am humbled, because I just don't know how to fix this and how to solve these great problems that our world is now facing.
It is in this space that I return to the practices that I have learned as I've come to know the embodiment path. The reality is that us human beings hold tremendous power to not only transform ourselves, but also the world we are all part of. The problem is that we were taught to do this by living in our heads, doing all we can to be smart enough and muster up enough willpower to cause the change we believe to be most important. This is one way to do things, and sometimes it creates useful results.
The embodied path is different. It has us largely getting out of our heads, becoming ever-more present in felt connection to all that we are (as individuals, as communities, and as the ecosystems we are all part of).
