Dive Deep Into Reality With Sam

Hey all!This week I've got Daniel joining me, a beautiful brother coming from the big island of Hawaii. In a previous conversation with Daniel, he told me a beautiful story about how he once went by "Dan". One night, through a powerful insight, the great spirit, appeared to him and communicated that it was time to use his full name, for the "el" in "Daniel", means "god", and its now the time to bring the vastness and sacredness of god into his own being. This story so beautifully sums up my experience interacting with Daniel, he is a traveling man, moving from place to place, exuding love and peace wherever he walks, strums and sings. This podcast brings me to tears as I hear the stories that Daniel shares, and the musical poetry that has grown out of these powerful experiences. This weeks episode explores the spirit world, our power as humans to create our own reality, and the beauty of following your heart. If you'd like to hear more of Daniels music or supp

Hey loves!This week I have Jules on and we're exploring her journey of freedom, flowing and van life in Australia. Jules inspires me so much as she has taken a leap of faith from our conventional world into a world of unknown, novelty and exhibitionism. She embodies the idea of learning to be comfortable in the "not knowing".  We discuss what its like to live simply, to live in the moment and to start to embrace life. If there will ever be an episode that's a wake up call for all of us to get out and start living our passion, it's this one! I hope you enjoy our lovely chat on the beach as we watch the waves come in and out, and as one of Jules' tattoos says, "send it" (go for it!)for jules' amazing photography check out: https://www.instagram.com/ju_crm/to support me further, check out: https://www.gofundme.com/divedeepwithsamto support Daniel for his amazing intro music, check out: http://www.thetravelingman.com/Support the show

Hey all!So as I'm starting to get a bit deeper into the realm of community building, "holding space", running workshops, yoga classes and facilitating communal events, I've started to come across some really helpful methods for creating a safe and supportive environment. Whether you're a lecturer, workshop facilitator or yoga teacher, this podcast can give you some awesome insights in bringing more potency and depth into your classes. When we start to offer and teach from an authentic space within ourselves, we can have a truly memorable and powerful effect on our students and participants. It's incredible to participate in a  workshop or yoga class that changes your life. That's the power we have as facilitators. This podcast shares both practical and philosophical ideas that can help us bring depth and love into the spaces we are holding. Some of these ideas come from Tom Lang's book "great guiding principles" and some are ideas I've learned through obs

I've got chad on this week, and we're exploring the world of conspiracy theories. We look predominantly at the flat earth theory as an example. Through these provocative and interesting perspectives, we can really start to learn the value of questioning and critical thinking throughout our daily lives. I have a teacher that says, "I have my beliefs, and I try not to believe in them too much". So in today's podcast, we will look at the lens of reality we were given as kids, and start to ask some questions. Why do we really believe, what we believe. This is a fun and provocative episode, so if you're down for a smile and some depth, this one's for you!Support the show

In this weeks episode, we'll explore the in's and outs of living alternatively in every sense of the world. Max and Daniella join me today to dive into their relationship. We will unpack the challenges and benefits of non monogamy and how living in a van can change your perspective on life.

This one will be a perfect step for anyone considering any type of alternative life style. It's more accessible than you think! Support the show

As last week and next weeks episode will start exploring relationships, I wanted to take a short episode to give a background on alternative relationships such as polyamory and non monogamy. In mainstream society we find monogamy to be the main, and usually only available relationship model, however as divorce rates are rising and people are leaving the mainstream, alternative models are on the rise. We see more and more people drawn to exploring conscious relationships and looking for depth in their interpersonal connections. This week we will explore a few other relationship structures and offer a taste of the world outside monogamy. for more reading, i heavily recommend the website: more than twohttps://www.morethantwo.com/opening uphttps://archive.org/details/OpeningUpAGuideToCreatingAndSustainingOpenRelationshipsor the ethical sluthttps://www.amazon.com/Ethical-Slut-Practical-Relationships-Adventures/dp/1587613379Support the show

How can we find more depth in our relationships? How can we truly bring presence and unconditional love in our partnerships? This week we have Matt and Arabella on who give us a beautiful overview about the power of bringing presence and unconditional love into a relationship. Their embodiment of their values is inspiring as we see how liberating our relationships could be like, if we take accountability for our emotions, provide a safe space for our partners and create a strong foundation of communication. Matt and Arabella share their story through love and as listeners, we get the opportunity to fall in love with them.

Emma and I have a an awesome chat this week, discussing the motivations behind the alternative practice of dumpster diving. With enormous corporations disposing of immense amount of edible and packaged food products, we are seeing more and more, the need to manage our waste as a society. As members in that society, we can start to take things into our own hands by voting with our dollars, and minimizing the waste on the ground (or dumpster in this case). Join us this week as we explore the wacky and zany adventures of dumpster diving and learn how this simple step can really serve us and the greater community!thanks for listening!SamIf you want to support the show, check out my go fund me at www.gofundme.com/divedeepwithsamSupport the show

Vipassana, a meditation technique to walk the path of enlightenment, is said to have been taught directly from the buddah. A Burmese man, S.N. Goenka has brought the technique to the west as donation based 10 day silent meditation courses. These 10 days are used to establish ones self in the technique and immerse in meditation. In this week's episode I chat with Max Gan, about Vipassana meditation and what to expect from the 10 day silent course. We explore practicalities of the course and go into some theory behind the technique and why it can be such an effective daily practice. Whether you're planning on attending a 10 day Vipassana course, you've heard the word thrown around, or it's an entirely new concept to you, check out this episode to gain some insight in this powerful, game changing practice!Find a vipassana center near you: https://www.dhamma.org/en-US/locations/directorySupport the show

Last week, I chatted with Daniella Margotta about finding medicine and we briefly explored the idea of psychedelics within that context. This week I wanted to expand a bit into the world of substances and give some guidance as to what substance may be right for you, if you are already looking to explore and deepen your practice with psychedelics. If you are looking for some background into the nature of the experience and some logistical info about substances, look no further, this episode is for you!Check out MapsCheck out these awesome third wave articles:- On meditation and psychedelics: https://thethirdwave.co/psychedelic-meditation/- On coping with anxiety during a trip: https://thethirdwave.co/cope-anxiety-paranoia-trip/check out the Psychedelic parenting podcast: http://www.psychedelicparenting.org/Support the show

In the west we think of medicine as a pill we take, but on this weeks episode, Daniella and I explore a larger meaning of medicine. We redefine it as any choice, action, movement that brings you closer to balance. In this lens, when we bring intention and purpose to our decisions, we can find medicine in anything. A conversation could be medicine, even watching a movie at the right time in the right place, can be medicine. This week we'll jump into Daniellas rocky past with the traditional western methods and help shed some light into how we can take responsibility for our own health and become the true care takers of these temples that we live in.Thanks for listening!Support the show

Hey all!This week we'll dive into psychedelic therapy. This is a huge movement on the rise as organizations like MAPS and schools such as NYU are getting grants to keep researching the powerful effects of substances in a controlled therapeutic setting. We are seeing substances like MDMA and Psilocybin that are helping us make enormous steps forward in treating depression and PTSD. In these exciting times, I'd love to give some perspective and share my own experience with using therapeutic models and helping others gain insight into their own lives through the help of these tools.Check out MAPS here: https://maps.org/Check out James Fadimans Book here: https://www.psychedelicexplorersguide.com/check out the third wave here https://thethirdwave.co/Support the show
