Description

In our society, real spiritual experiences are taboo and it’s tragic. The people who have seen or felt the truth are labeled insane by the secular, heretical by the religious, and are gaslit by the New Agers. Because it is a “here and now” experience that goes beyond identity, it innocently threatens any belief system that it meets by default. The result? The most beautiful part of ourselves, the truth of our existence, is forcefully banished to the margins and the experiencer themselves then suffers the consequences. On this podcast we will fearlessly dive into these margins, interviewing people from all walks of life who have felt the answers and seen the unseen. Our mission is to bring their stories out of the spiritual closet and into the open to gain precious insight and wisdom that go beyond ideals. In a society plagued with cultism, dogma, and nihilism, these stories serve as a healing elixir to both listener and experiencer alike, bringing truth, love, peace, and magic to an increasingly fearful and cynical world.

First, I’d like to thank you all for your patience as Tales From the Truth Seekers had to take a brief hiatus. But we are back, and the past few weeks’ episodes will be coming to you this week! I am excited to reintroduce a truly magical person to you all, Mr. Mark Phillips, whom you may have met in Season One. Mark opens up about his continued psychic evolution at Arthur Findlay College, which we affectionally refer to as the “real life Hogwarts.” (Yes, it is a magic school, housed inside a beautiful chateau in the UK.) Mark also gives real world, down to earth, examples of the incredible healing experiences that can come from mediumship work, as he acts as a bridge between worlds, connecting loved ones from the beyond. Lastly, Mark shares an astonishing update for us from his own story, that will leave you with a new-found faith in the power of love. Mark’s Bio: Mark lives in Scotland and throughout his life from childhood has had a keen interest in the supernatural but never for a second believed this was something he was able to be a part of. Mark had a couple of experiences with loved ones, who had passed, in dream throughout his life; At the age of 44 Mark realised that having a connection with Spirit is not only for the select few, now as a newly working medium and channel Mark’s passion is sharing that we can all connect with Spirit, our own intuition/psychic faculties and healing modalities which are within us all.Mark’s Substack - The Mind’s AyeMark’s InstagramNatalie’s Links:Solas - 1:1 Mystical Self-Discovery ProgramSubstackWebsiteEtsyIG - @sidhe.channelled.artMy Story, Part IMy Story, Part IITales from the Truth Seekers Podcastavailable on Spotify, Apple, & SubstackOther links:Arthur Findlay College Get full access to Sidhe (SHē) at nataliesidhe.substack.com/subscribe

The commonly held belief surrounding sleep paralysis is that it is a disorder, a glitch of the brain if you will, nothing more. If that is the case, the why have millions of people, over the course of thousands of years, all experienced the same beings? The hat man, the incubus, the smoke entity, implying the existence of one common realm where they reside. Tales from the Truth Seekers, Season Four is coming to you tomorrow, the night before Christmas, opening with Dr Sheila Pryce Brooks . Sheila shares her insights and expertise on the spiritual experience of sleep paralysis. How appropriate. I believe a certain well-known old, English miser would approve of this perspective of the spirits that come to haunt you in the night, and how they’re actually a revelation of spiritual awakening…Humbug?I don’t believe so. Because according to Sheila’s life long experience with this phenomenon, it is very real indeed, and while many modern materialists chalk it up to a simple sleeping disorder, Sheila has come to find that it is actually a spiritual gift. Although sometimes terrifying, sleep paralysis is a great threshold to the beyond.Sheila’s Bio: Dr. Sheila Pryce Brooks is a researcher, writer, and speaker who explores sleep paralysis as a powerful, and often misunderstood, altered state of consciousness. Drawing from over 30 years of lived experience and academic inquiry, she bridges science, spirituality, and contact. She hosts the Sleep Paralysis News Podcast, and shares posts on Substack opening conversations around anomalous states and their deeper meaning.

Dr. Joan Walton has generously offered to switch hats with the host of Tale from the Truth Seekers so that listeners could get the inside perspective on Natalie’s story, what motivated her to start the podcast to begin with, and what she has learned and observed by interviewing 30+ people about their spiritual experiences in just one year. Dr. Joan Walton’s main role is at York St. John University in the UK, in the School of Education. She is also chaired by of the board of directors for The Scientific and Medical Network, and chair of the executive committee of the International Network for the Study of Spirituality, Consciousness and Science. Natalie and Joan discuss the challenges of integrating back into society after a spiritual encounter, and the ten years of Natalie’s closeted existence, as she desperately jumped from one spiritual community to the next in hopes to find validation and support. They also dive into how healing the podcast has been for Natalie, as it forced her to come all the way out of the spiritual closet, naturally attracting others who have gone through the same thing, thus forming the spiritual community she’d always been hoping to find. Natalie highlights multiple episodes from past seasons, reveals big plans for the future of the podcast, and offers a big picture perspective on the universal nature of spiritual awakenings and near-death experiences. Natalie’s Bio: Natalie is the sole creator behind every handmade piece at Sidhe Readings & Channelled Art, and is the host of Tales from the Truth Seekers podcast. After walking through the world as somewhat of a cynic for many years, Natalie found herself deeply humbled by a quite sudden and profound state of "non-ego" in 2014. This 48-hour period initiated her into a life-long spiritual journey. While on this path, Natalie has discovered that unique, first-hand, spiritual experience can threaten rigid belief systems of religious, secular, and New Age people alike. Because of this, she is dedicated to empowering people to look within for the security they seek and to release complete dependency on blind belief or external systems to guide them. Over the past ten years, Natalie has been certified in MindfulSchools, Reiki Level 2, and has graduated from the Spiritual Guidance Mentorship program at Edgar Cayce’s Atlantic University. Natalie is also an ordained Avalon Rose Priestess through the Avalon Rose Chapel in Glastonbury, England. In the muggle world, Natalie is an actress, singer, dancer, choreographer, director, and playwright. She holds a B.A. in musical theatre performance, an M.A. in theatre education, was a high school theatre director for seven years, and is passionate about the connection between spirituality, mental health, and the arts, and the powerful healing effects that they can have, especially for disadvantaged youth.

In 1977, P.M.H. Atwater died and came back three consecutive times. After this experience, she was sure that she was going crazy, until she attended a symposium in which a speaker gave a talk on eternal consciousness and shared an image that exactly matched what she had experienced when she died. She was finally validated. While she was existing beyond the veil, she also heard a voice, so big it filled the entire universe, and the voice told her that she was to do the research, and write a book for each of her deaths. Over the past forty-three years she has gone on to write twenty-seven books and has studied roughly five-thousand cases of near-death experience. In this episode, she opens up about her childhood, how she got her name, and she shares stories about all the people she’s met along the way. While unconditional love is the common denominator in near-death studies, the divorce rate post-experience is as high as 80%. Mrs. Atwater shares her insight on why this is, and how we can better support these wise but vulnerable souls as they navigate reentry into the material. She also believes that the near-death experience isn’t simply anomalous, it is a part of the evolution of human consciousness, and we have Mrs. Atwater to thank for playing a vital role in this great unfolding. P.M.H. Atwater’s Bio: An international authority on near-death states, Dr. PMH Atwater, L.H.D. uses the culmination of her research to establish that the near-death phenomenon is not some kind of anomaly, but is rather part of the larger genre of transformations of consciousness. She combines her 38 years of near-death research with what she was doing in the 60s and 70s, experiencing, experimenting with, and researching altered states of consciousness, mysticism, psychic phenomena, and the transformational process, to reveal what transformations of consciousness really are, why we have them, and where they lead us. This lifetime endeavor covers over 43 years of work, involving nearly 7,000 people. Her meticulous and unique protocol gives validity to what she has discovered, and verified, about the percentage worldwide of people who have undergone near-death experiences.

In her teenage years, Dr. Sioux Oliva discovered The Urantia Book, and after encountering beings from another dimension on a California beach, her curiosity around non-human intelligence has never waned. In 2014 she published Dr. Sadler and The Urantia Book: A History of Spiritual Revelation in the 20th Century. In this episode, she shares with us a wealth of knowledge and research around NHI. Her key takeaway? The sheer volume of credible evidence suggesting that these beings are real, have material craft, and can travel through dimensions. She also theorizes that they have been around a long time, probably longer than human civilization itself. Who are they? What do they want? Are they here to help or to harm? Some of it still remains a mystery, yet soft disclosure is happening, the gap in awareness is surely closing, and how cool is it that we get to be alive on the earth when it does?Sioux’s Bio: Sioux Oliva is an American historian and lecturer. Born in in Buffalo, New York and raised in San Diego, California, Sioux earned her Ph.D. in History from the University of Southern California in 1999. Her first project was managing a non-profit website to introduce the teachings of The Urantia Book to a wider audience sponsored by Lyn and Norman Lear. Some of her other notable projects and clients include assisting Mrs. Robert F. Kennedy organize her personal papers at her home, Hickory Hill, in McLean, VA; designing a research scheme for the Estate of Marilyn Monroe; doing four family history projects and cataloging thousands of documents found in Grey Gardens for Sally Quinn and Ben Bradlee; and research projects for The Getty and The City of Los Angeles, and The Autry Museum of the American West. Sioux lives outside of Asheville, North Carolina, with her husband and their two Field Setters. Sioux has been published in American Indian Culture and Research Journal, Virginia Living, and wrote a chapter, "Winning the Sovereignty Jackpot: The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act and the Struggle for Sovereignty" in the book Indian Gaming: Who Wins? Since then Sioux has focused her research on the paranormal in human history, mainly focusing on UFOs/Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP). She is on the Leadership Team of the Visible College, who are a volunteer group of scholars who promote serious research into UAP and related topics. Our goal is to produce and collaborate on high quality research so that we can better understand this complex topic. She also supports the SOL Foundation which focused on bringing intellectual insight into UAP research to meet scientific and political challenges.Natalie’s links: Personalized Sculpture - Etsy Substack 1:1 Mystical Self-Discovery Program WebsiteInstagramMy Story, Part I My Story, Part II Tales from the Truth Seekers Podcast also available on Spotify, Apple, Substack & YouTubeSioux’s links: Dr. Sadler and The Urantia Book The Visible College The SOL FoundationLinkedInInstagram Twitter X Want to engage in dialogue with like-minded fans of this podcast?

Anthony and Boutaina both immigrated to the United States as children giving them unique and highly insightful perspectives from a young age. After graduating college and finding their way into the work force, they both found themselves in the position of being asked to analyze “narratives” online in order to “get ahead” of any naturally occurring beliefs the public held that were not optimal for company sales or political successes. In this episode, both were willing to speak openly, calling out big name organizations, as well as our own government, for consciously and purposefully creating propaganda to control what citizens think. We also get to hear some amazing spiritual awaking stories, as Anthony took the time to study ancient shamanic practices and recreate a system that would induce a spiritual experience. Let’s just say, it worked, and his life has never been the same.Anthony and Boutaina were co-hosts of Obliterate The Construct, a podcast that delved into the extraordinary, sharing and discussing encounters with otherworldly phenomena and exploring humanity’s greatest mysteries.Anthony’s Bio: Anthony Miller is the Anthony Miller is the co-host of Fire in the Cosmos Podcast, and Coordinator for Virginia Citizens for Disclosure -- a grassroots organizing campaign launched by the New Paradigm Institute advocating for UFO Disclosure. He is an experiencer who takes an integral approach to studying Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) and consciousness, examining the wide-ranging connections between various anomalous experiences. With a career in open-source intelligence, he leverages his expertise in media and disinformation analysis to raise awareness on the narratives and constructs that have shaped our reality and how we can rewrite them. Anthony holds a master’s degree in public policy and national security from George Mason University and a B.A. in international studies from Virginia Tech. Note: Anthony is now the host on the podcast, Fire in the Cosmos, his co-host is now Sinéad Whelehan, -- UAP/consciousness researcher, explorer, death doula, Director of Communications at Centre for The Unification of Science and Consciousness (CUSAC), educator, and spider-woman.

Jessica Desilets spent her childhood as a Catholic, but in later years felt confused by the notion that such a loving and forgiving god could simultaneously be so harshly judgmental. As she grew into young adulthood, she turned to alcohol as a means to numb herself from childhood trauma and societal messaging, eventually finding herself in recovery at AA. Following a seemingly random intuitive hit to pack up and and move across the country to Virginia, she discovered The Monroe Institute, and decided to gift herself a retreat for her fortieth birthday. Jessica’s intense, and unimaginably beautiful spiritual experiences happened here, just months before the time of this recording, and she very bravely chose to describe it publicly for all of us to witness. Jessica is not a trite imitation, but an experiential, embodied example of what it is to remember the essence of what we really are - the entire universe, infinite and eternal, love. Jessica’s bio: Jessica Desilets is the founder of Chapter of Us, where she guides others to explore expanded states of consciousness through specialized Monroe Sound Science® meditation experiences. With a background in nuclear medicine and a heart anchored in multidimensional awareness, Jessica blends science and spirit to guide others inward and to remember the vastness of who they truly are by offering experiences that are both grounding and expansive!

Yet, we want to make it clear that here at Tales from the Truth Seekers, we do not condone spiritual bypassing, and the statements are much more nuanced than they may seem. We believe in sacred rage, and taking enlightened action for helping to ease the suffering of others. We also share in the feelings of powerlessness that so many of you are experiencing, and even though it might not feel like it in the moment, connecting with the sacred, and with our inner source of joy, is one of the most powerful things you can do in times like these. After you’ve raised the money, called the senator, petitioned, protested, donated, and voted, participating in the divinity and joy of your every day life can help ground you to, not just fight against insanity and fear, but to become the living antidote.

Tonya Schroka is no stranger to spiritual experiences, having had ties to the other realm since childhood. In fact, this episode opens fresh off of a psychic session that Tonya so generously gifted to me. But nothing could prepare her for the sudden death of her beloved husband followed by an apparent possession of his soul. This profound and unique spiritual experience shifted her grieving process into something truly complex and spiritually transformative. Tonya also opens up about her seven year journey with chronic pain, and illustrates for us that miraculous healing is not only possible, but a very real lived experience. Throughout the tidal waves of ups and downs, grief and pain, love and healing, she has found that the most immense breakthroughs occur through total and complete surrender. Tonya’s bio: Tonya is a wife, a mother of five, and a lifelong space holder. She is a certified reiki master and a certified master intuitive, supporting highly sensitive women navigating spiritual transitions, awakenings, and soul remembering. Her work unfolds in four sacred paths - energy healing, soul coaching, and intuitive readings. She’s rooted in community leadership and has a deep reverence for healing.

C.S. Patrick grew up going to Catholic mass, only to find it repetitive, empty, and nonsensical. Yet he always held interest in the mysterious side of life, resulting in the opportunity to embark on a real-life ghost hunt with Chip Coffey from the popular TV show Paranormal State. After many slight brushes with the unexplainable, he began to research the medicinal effects of psilocybin, and became curious to try it for himself. Already a nature lover, Patrick came to realize that the states he could access through this natural aid, brought him to levels of empathy and wonder he could have only ever imagined before. These experiences then fueled him to find validation and context within the Eastern and indigenous religions of the world, and to continue to advocate for open-mindedness in the face of the great divine mystery. C.S. Patrick’s Bio: C.S. Patrick is a professional brewer and small business owner. He has a Bachelor’s of Architecture and a Master's in Construction Management. He spent eight years building pharmaceutical clean rooms, schools, and civic buildings domestically and internationally. He’s won numerous awards for original beer recipes, including Best Beer in Maryland 2022, as well as gold medals for original lager, feist beer, and oatmeal stout. He is also a bassist for a regionally touring band with radio airtime, and an amateur mycologist.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk shifted something. For me, I could no longer sit back and stay silent as I watched my fellow liberals cheer and laugh at someone’s brutal murder on TikTok. Their reactions ignited a fire in me to educate the American public on the realities of the age of misinformation they are living in. I was shocked at how many people online misinterpreted my pleas for humanity as Nazi sympathy. But I refuse to live in a society made up of cultism and senseless death. For those of you who have been following me on social media, I want to reiterate that this has nothing to do with politics, social issues, or sides, and that my claims about brainwashing are for every American, including myself. No one is immune. In this episode, I interview former open-source intelligence analyst, Anthony Miller. In it, Anthony breaks down for us the entire journey that information takes before it reaches you and I. From analysts, to customers with government or corporate interests who buy the information, to how they use that information and for what purposes, to media, news outlets, public affairs spokes people, out of context headlines and video clips, to social media echo chambers, then eventually to us. He is a voice from the inside, and gives clear examples of information corruption that he has witnessed first hand, and explains how this happens everywhere, all the time. We are not fear mongering. We are not blaming. We are simply passionate about making you aware so that you can empower yourself to look beyond the narratives that we are all products of. This knowledge should humble all of us, and this humility it is the only way forward. Anthony’s Bio: Anthony Miller is the co-host of Fire in the Cosmos Podcast, and the Co-Coordinator for Virginia Citizens for Disclosure -- a grassroots organizing campaign launched by the New Paradigm Institute advocating for UFO Disclosure. He is an experiencer who takes an integral approach to studying Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) and consciousness, examining the wide-ranging connections between various anomalous experiences.

You may have heard of Scarlett’s story, as she was featured on The UnXplained with William Shatner in 2019. But her experience barely fits into a television show format, as it is one of the most beautiful stories you might hear on your quest to know the unknowable. Scarlett was doing her best as a single mother of two boys with special needs, when she discovered reiki healing could be highly beneficial to her son, so she decided to earn her certification. One night, while attending her AA meeting, she met a grieving mother who confessed that she had just been told by the hospital that there was nothing more they could do for her son. Much to her own surprise, Scarlett responded by telling the mother not to give up just yet, and that she would be happy to perform reiki on him the next day. This is where the unbelievably powerful magic, channelled from the beyond, begins to illuminate her story. He was a stranger, hovering between worlds, and she was a channel for divine love. Scarlett’s Bio: Scarlett L. Heinbuch, PhDScarlett L. Heinbuch worked in the financial services field for more than 20 years. She is an internationally known researcher/theorist in the area of women’s financial health and social norms theory.In her other world, Scarlett had a childhood Near-Death Experience (NDE) at the age of four, in which she was out of her body and felt the love and awareness of the universe. After returning to life, she found her spirit had retained the capacity to explore other worlds and encounter other beings in multiple realms. She had an encounter in a Shared NDE with a dying stranger that resulted in a healing miracle and meeting her soulmate, detailed in her book, We Met on the Other Side: A True Love Story.

Laurel Waterman was a happily married wife and mother of two small children when the unexpected death of her husband in 2018 launched her into a quest for proof of consciousness beyond the brain. She was devastated by the loss, and her grief began to overwhelm her. Yet she didn’t settle for the pity or advice from therapists suggesting she “just believe” he was still out there. She needed actual, experiential, proof. In this episode, she brings us along on her intimately personal quest to, not just blindly accept the continued existence of life after death, but to know it, fully, for herself. Her story is deeply touching, and it will also have you asking important questions about our society’s current materialist paradigm, and how detrimental it can be for those who grieve. Maybe it’s not childish to hope for an afterlife. Perhaps our eternity is actually a great fundamental truth of the human existence, and our deep need to rediscover it is fueled by our innate gravitation towards an alignment with what is real. Laurel’s Bio: Dr. Laurel Waterman has a Ph.D. in Curriculum and Pedagogy, Wellbeing Emphasis, at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) at the University of Toronto. She holds an MA in Adult Education and Community Development from OISE and has been teaching narrative non-fiction writing in the Professional Writing and Communication program in the Department of Communication, Culture, Information and Technology (CCIT) at the University of Toronto, Mississauga since 2009. She is a board member of The Scientific and Medical Network (SMN), a UK-based educational organization focused on the intersection of science and spirituality, and belongs to the Academy for the Advancement of Postmaterialist Sciences (AAPS Global). Laurel teaches in the Approaches to Consciousness and Learning through Integrative Practice modules in the Alef Trust’s MSc in Consciousness, Spirituality, and Transpersonal Psychology.Click here for more information on Dr. Waterman, to see her publications, and check out her work in the world.

Rowena Worth has a background working in corporate, was a body builder, endured years of abuse and workplace bullying, and followed the societal expectations of continuously moving along, until one day it all caught up with her and she found herself in a completely dissociative state. Unable to perform mundane tasks, professionals told her that she would never fully heal. And yet, Rowena has come to call her breakdown a breakthrough, because she mysteriously knew throughout all of the turmoil that if she took this pause as an opportunity to listen to the voice within that she would be okay, that she is okay, and that she always was. Following this inner knowing eventually led her to an indigenous Australian holy land, coming back from which she was forever changed.

You may have heard of Becca Cramer from The Telepathy Tapes Podcast with Ky Dickens, as she was recently featured on The Telepathy Tapes Talk Tracks, Ep 8. Being a self-proclaimed skeptic and nuclear engineer, Becca examined over 100 peer-reviewed studies, only to find that the scientific arguments against telepathy were significantly flawed. In this episode, we get to hear Becca’s personal story, from atheist, to agnostic, to alcoholism, to an injury that forces her to deal with chronic pain on the daily and has opened her heart and mind to the possibility of consciousness beyond the brain. We also dive deep into her scientific findings around telepathy, the arguments and counter-arguments, and why The Telepathy Tapes story is actually more realistic than the materialist claims that currently exist. Becca has come into this objectively from both sides, and not only is she ready for the paradigm shift, she is a part of it. Welcome to Season Three of Tales from the Truth Seekers. Becca’s Bio: Becca Cramer is an independent researcher and writer, currently focusing on the latest research in Spelling to Communicate (S2C) methods and autism. She recently discussed my research on the Telepathy Tapes Talk Tracks. She has a background as a nuclear engineer with an MBA, and she’s also a busy mom of two young kids.

My Story, Part II (Solo)

My Story, Part II (Solo)

2025-07-0201:14:26

In a world that’s falling apart and seems laden with suffering, there’s a simultaneous unfolding of a collective awaking to our true nature and purpose on this earth. In this realm of duality, perhaps these extremes are unavoidable, yet the natural inclination towards balance is what can always bring us hope. I know, from a deep experiential place, that the human spirit, and all of creation, is made of one consciousness bound together by a force called “unconditional love.” So as we look out upon the landscapes of horror that seem to infiltrate our news sources, the best antidote to chaos that exists, is simply connecting with this gentle, profoundly powerful force within ourselves. Not through chasing, or attaching, but through pause, connection, and compassion for what’s real, now. This is the only true antidote. This is sanity.I also hope it goes without saying that plenty of people have good experiences with religion, I do not condone gaslighting in the face of suffering, you should dream big, and any and all kinds of people have spiritual gifts. (There are times during solo episodes when the words flow and constant clarifications are tedious, so I have made sure to include them here.)If you’d like to support me and the work that I do, please check out the links I have included below.

Lainie Gratz has had her beautiful, albino, pet corn snake for years now. She recalls upon her first day having him, a spiritual teacher claiming the snake was an oracle. Not thinking much of it, years went by, until one day during her intuitive work she realized some of her downloads might actually be coming from her lovely, elongated, limbless, companion. At this point, Lainie had many spiritual experiences under her belt, but no matter what has happened before, nothing prepares you for when Spirit finds yet another incredible way of connecting. Not exempt from the witch wound that so many of us carry, she decided to keep this new discovery to herself. Yet, overtime she has found that one of Mr. Yin’s ultimate gifts is helping others to overcome their fears. So, in line with this theme, Lainie is now going public about her magical connection with this docile, sweet, and very curious creature - The Amazing Mr. Yin. Lainie’s Bio:Lainie Gratz is an astrologer, artist, and spiritual guide. With a lifelong sensitivity to the unseen and a background in the arts, her journey has always been one of decoding symbols—whether through painting, planetary alignments, or intuitive downloads. Her life has been shaped by initiatory experiences—ranging from deep study in an ancient mystery school to plant medicine ceremonies, sacred travel, and years of devoted ritual practice. She offers astrology readings, spiritual mentoring, and magical guidance rooted in lived experience and cosmic timing.But she doesn’t walk the path alone. Lainie is often joined by her companion, Mr. Yin—a rare albino corn snake with a reputation for being much more than a pet. Believed by one of her teachers to be a reincarnated oracle from ancient Greece, Mr. Yin has become a quiet force of healing and insight. During readings and events, people report feeling a profound sense of calm in his presence—and many have received unexpected emotional release or messages simply by being near him. Together, Lainie and Mr. Yin travel, teach, and guide others toward their own awakening, weaving astrology, intuition, and reverence for the unseen into every experience. If you have an event, resort, or gathering that would be a good fit for Lainie and Mr. Yin please reach out to her at lainiegratz@gmail.com.Natalie’s Links: 1:1 Mystical Self-Discovery Program - SolasSidhe Readings & Channelled Art Website - SidheART.comSidhe Art & Poetry Etsy Shop - NatalieSidhe.etsy.comTales from the Truth Seekers Podcast - also available on Spotify and AppleInstagram - @sidhe.channelled.artMy StoryLainie’s Links: IG - @lainie.gratz Website - LainieGratz.comMr. Yin’s Links: IG - @theamazingmryin Organizations mentioned: The Aquarian Bookshop and Metaphysical Center - Richmond, VaMaymont Park - Richmond, VaThe Psychic Festival - Richmond, VaThe Fae Festival - Charlottesville, VaThe Green Cauldron - Charlottesville, VaBooks mentioned: The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle The Harry Potter Series Get full access to Sidhe (SHē) at nataliesidhe.substack.com/subscribe
At a young age Todd favored connecting with nature over the stuffy atmosphere of the church. His temple was “true wilderness.” Later in life, after becoming reacquainted with psychedelics, he began to understand that he was somehow relating with a consciousness that was beyond his own. This realization led him to become involved with organizations like The Pari Center in Italy, a place dedicated to open dialogue around science, psychology, and the sacred. Another common symptom of spiritual experience is optimism. Once the big picture is pulled wide open for you, it’s hard not to spot the unlimited potential that sits within every single one of us. While news outlets may have you gripped with anger, fear, and depression, perhaps Todd is here to offer you a healthier perspective. Todd’s Bio:Todd Bureau divides time between Hope, Alaska, the Chihuahuan desert of Terlingua, Texas, and Tuscany; B.A. French and History, M.A. French Literature; jumped the academic ship Literature and fled to the wilds when it docked at Dissertation; with a fundamental inclination for the natural world and the privilege of choosing it, started a small group tour operation in Alaska and directed it for a delightful 25 year livelihood/lifestyle; in a place of limited roads and long distances, became a commercial pilot and aircraft mechanic for that livelihood, shamelessly rationalized for that life; continuous cherished dance with French and Spanish, with Italian the new partner; retirement activities of furious outdoor play, ponder, and doing oral histories; pre-Covid gave fact-based talks on psychedelics to lay audiences; ongoing passion humbly aiding efforts to nudge from the throne, the purely materialist approach of science, the one that denies the subjective. Research participant in the Global Consciousness Project and Wyrd Research, using those as the basis of presentations to initiate and foster discussions on the widest considerations of Consciousness. Closely associated with the Pari Center in the wee medieval hamlet of Pari, Italy. It’s all pretty darned joyous. www.paricenter.com Natalie’s links:1:1 Mystical Self-Discovery Program - SolasWebsite - SidheART.comEtsy Shop - NatalieSidhe.etsy.comPodcast - Tales from the Truth Seekers- also available on Spotify and AppleIG - @sidhe.channelled.artMy StoryOrganizations mentioned: The Pari Center - Tuscany, ItalyThe Tom Tom Festival - Charlottesville, VaThe Department of Perceptual Studies - The University of Virginia The Scientific & Medical Network & The Galileo Commission - London, UKAcademy for the Advancement of Post-Materialist Sciences (AAPS) - Tucson, AZBooks mentioned: LSD and the Mind of the Universe - Diamonds from Heaven by Christopher M.

Dr. Krista Stanley was no stranger to unexplainable phenomena from an early age. As a child she seemed to possess the ability to simply “know things,” and was always curious about how this all worked, eventually leading her to earn a PhD in Wisdom Studies, concentrating specifically on psychic mediumship. A doctor of mediumship? Not a combination you typically hear about, due to certain societal expectations within our current paradigm, yet this gives even more significance and urgency to her work. Join us in learning about Krista’s personal journey as we lift the taboos, break the stigmas, and bridge the gap between modern academia and ancient, universal, beyond-the-brain consciousness. Let’s remember the mystery.Krista’s Bio:Krista Stanley, Ph.D.Dr. Stanley holds a PhD in Wisdom Studies. Her interest is in cutting-edge consciousness-beyond-the-brain research and its intersection with psychic phenomena, particularly howindividual consciousness participates with Cosmic Consciousness. In her practice as a mediumand teacher, she partners intuitive insight with logical reasoning, a skill gleaned through athirty-year career in corporate management. Dr. Stanley is an Evidential Medium and uses thisskill to demonstrate the co-creative process of participation — through telepathic awareness,psychic and mediumship training, dream exploration, and tracking synchronicities.
