THE RISE OF THE ENERGY ARTS WITH QI GONG MASTER, QI HEALER AND CERTIFIED LIFE COACH, PASCALE JENART Pascale Jenart started her professional life in Banking for ten years and then moved her attention to mothering her two wonderful kids. She fell in love with Tai Chi and started competing in Singapore, Hong Kong, and China. Qi Gong came into her life as a way to improve her Tai Chi, to deepen her felt connection with the Qi. This deeper exploration led to her being a golden medalist several times over. In 2014, Pascale fell sick Thyroid disfunction, and decided then to explore the power of the Qi. She was able to restart her Thyroid by practicing Qi Gong, which led her to create her company Chi Balance and start teaching. She wanted to share this fantastic body/mind health tool. Pascale studied Qi Gong for ten years with a Chinese Grand Master and has been teaching since 2014. During those ten years, Pascale developed her Qi knowledge by studying Acupressure, Yin and Yang in food, Reiki, and finally when she felt she was ready to go deeper, she trained in Qi Healing. During the pandemic, Pascale also completed her ICF certification as a Life Coach as she realised that a lot of her clients needed to share and have a safe space to reflect after the healing, and she have the tools to take responsibility for their own healing journeys. Join us as we explore the nature of Qi, the relationship between Qi Gong and Qi Healing, Pascale’s own journey into the Energy Arts and so much more! You can find Pascale at: | |||

THE RISE OF THE ENERGY ARTS WITH CRANIOSACRAL AND REIKI MASTER, STEPHANIE EDWARDS Since childhood, Stephanie had a desire to learn about the human body and how it connects with nature. She has always sought to lead a holistic and spiritual lifestyle, initially focusing on meditation and yoga. With a thirst to expand her knowledge and understanding of energy healing, she spent time in Asia in 2013 studying Reiki before qualifying as a licensed Western Usui Reiki Practitioner and Master Teacher and a Jikiden and Millenium Reiki Practitioner. Reiki has influenced, changed, and reconnected her back to a happier, spiritual existence which is always evolving.
Her interest in Holistic healing and healing her own personal trauma did not stop with Reiki and has led me down the magical path of Reflexology, TRE (trauma release exercise), Think and Craniosacral therapy.
Craniosacral Therapy has widened Stephanie’s view of life as she perceives it and how the body’s inherent wisdom is far greater than we can comprehend and how deep healing can occur on all levels. We perceive the body as only having a few levels but in fact it has many of which we are not fully aware of.

| 22 Sep 2022 | The Modern Crone: Season 3: Afterlife with Sharon Harvey | 00:51:06 | |
Sharon is a tutor at the Arthur Findlay College where she is known for her lively, humorous approach. Sharon is from a travelling family who only settled in a permanent home following the tragic death of her Grandmother's children. Following this, her grandmother would not move far away from where they were buried and so they settled down. She never forgot her roots and kept the barrel top caravan in her garden. Her Grandmother was a great influence on her and was well known for her 'gifts' especially in healing, including animals. As a child Sharon was always drawn to God and would skip school to sit in churches and graveyards where she felt close to him. As a teenager she saw spirit but didn't understand it and it frightened her. Eventually however her interest was aroused again and she began reading Tarot cards and doing sittings. Her real love was to be found at the Arthur Findlay College where her proper mediumistic development began. Her great inspiration was Mavis Pittilla, and Sharon joined every course of hers that she could. Mavis once said: "The Spirit World is Sharon's World and she has to be a medium." These words have meant everything to Sharon and have inspired her through good and bad times. Sharon's love of life is infectious and she enjoys sparking the interest of new students which she does with ease. Her favourite expression is "God doesn't want you to be miserable", and she certainly practices what she preaches. Sharon is married with three children and four grandchildren, some of whom already exhibit her mediumistic traits. Sharon's grandfather was also very psychic and he used his abilities in a very enterprising way. Earlier this year I spent a week at The Arthur Findlay College in Sharon’s Trance Mediumship class…which was incredible on so many levels.

| 06 Oct 2022 | The Modern Crone: Season 3: Afterlife with Carol Blake | 00:43:03 | |
AFTERLIFE with Trance Medium and Circle Leader, Carol Blake After a few years in an awareness group Carol started trance mediumship groups in 2007, every week with her mentor and tutor Pat William Ellis. Pat had 75 years in Spiritualism and passed away in 2021 at the age 93, still working. He was a wonderful trance philosopher, and Carol feels so privileged to have worked with him. He went to the Author Findlay College when Gordon Higginson was there. Fifteen years later Carol is still doing trance every week. Carol used to say that getting into the physical energies was by chance because it wasn't planned. But she has been told many times that she is a physical medium, and nothing happens by chance, when working with Spirit. Twelve years on with the physical circle all Carol can say is “wow what a privilege!”. She has her own awareness group and trance group every week plus a physical mediumship circle of which she is circle leader. Carol’s husband is the physical medium. It is very much a home circle. They are allowed by the ‘Spirit Team’ to have a couple of demonstrations a year for other trance workers to experience the physical energies with the intelligent phenomena. Carol still loves her mediumship one-to-one work which has grown alongside her other mediumship work. You can contact Carol here: https://www.facebook.com/carole.blake.33671 | |||

| 17 Nov 2022 | The Modern Crone: Season 3: Afterlife with Bronia West | 00:50:25 | |
AFTERLIFE with Psychic Medium, Tarot Consultant and Crystal Healer - Bronia West Bronia West is a Spiritual Psychic Medium, Tarot Consultant and Crystal Healer who studied with the Spiritual Venturers Association to obtain her Diploma in Crystal Healing. This was founded by Edmund Harold who was a trance medium and linked the clear quartz crystal to trance mediumship. She is also a member of the Affiliation of Crystal Healing Organisation. Bronia believes that our own personality and the uniqueness of our very being, allows us to open and expand the mind, body, and spirit, awakening and igniting the flame within our souls. It is the very essence of the divine spark that gives us the zest to search for knowledge, truth and understanding. If we do not understand our own awareness, the energy of our own spirit, we cannot begin to understand the awareness and energy of others, both on the physical plane and those who reside in the spirit world. She is a great believer that our sensitivity and heightened awareness is contained in the very core of our being, within our soul of personal belief system - this is the unique universal energy and power of your spirit. Since her journey’s unfolding in 1990 (and well before then as she can recall events that she experienced in childhood), Bronia has found that there is always something new to experience through our sensitivity of sight, feeling, sensing, and knowing. She is a great believer in unlocking the awareness of the spirit and she has produced an inspirational card deck, “The Awakening of Your Spirit” where each card can be a focus and message for what you truly seek.

| 30 Nov 2022 | The Modern Crone: Season 3: Afterlife with Biba Logan | 00:47:51 | |
AFTERLIFE with Intuitive Artist, QHRT Practitioner and Psychic Medium- Biba Logan Biba Logan is an intuitive artist who began painting after a vision she received in a dream. She began painting with the understanding that she is not the artist, but the vessel that the spirit of creativity needs to be expressed through. Biba attunes to what she describes as ‘golden access to the light’ which contains all the information she needs as an artist and intuitive and all that we will all ever need. Her focus is learning to attune to that energy and allow it to be. She began to understand that her paintings are healing in nature. They are encoded with frequencies that are assigned to the people that are drawn to them. Each piece is created for a specific person and when that person receives the painting, the light information within the painting sets a frequency within their environment and they will be able to communicate with their spirit team and receive the healing that they need. They are multi-dimensional paintings and so the healing and connection is multi-dimensional. After several months of non-stop painting and much success with acknowledgements which was not her initial intention, Netflix took several of her paintings for one of their tv shows being made in Ireland. Painting released in her a deeper awareness of the way the mystery works. Biba knows how to paint and how to communicate with those in the unseen realms and bring messages of hope and love to those seeking solace, guidance, love and healing. She has since qualified as a Quantum Healing Hypnosis Practitioner and has begun to write a book about her journey to discovering the mystery within. It’s to help people enquire and discover their connection to a greater power of light and love within.

| 14 Dec 2022 | The Modern Crone: Season 3: Afterlife with Kerry Alderuccio | 00:51:07 | |
AFTERLIFE with Author and Psychic Medium - Kerry Alderuccio Kerry Alderuccio’s introduction to all things of a psychic nature came to her relatively late in life. It was after the loss of her adored 19-year-old son, Sam, that she realised that the instinct that she had always had, might be something more profound. Throughout her life she has always been aware of changes in the energy around her, naively assuming that everyone felt such things. But as her loved ones gradually passed away, she always remained very aware of their presence. It was after Sam’s untimely passing that Kerry decided to act on this instinct and look for answers as to where Sam was and how contact could be made. She began her mediumship studies initially by sitting in circle in Melbourne and then attended Arthur Findlay College in the United Kingdom, where her psychic and mediumship gifts became very apparent. Kerry’s studies continue at Arthur Findlay College with yearly visits for two weeks at a time. Kerry believes that knowledge and learning have no ending, just like life itself. It is Kerry’s wish to work with and help as many people as possible to assist them in coping with their own grief, whether that be through simple conversation, a mediumship reading or a tarot reading, where she can gain insight into them in a psychic way.

| 13 Apr 2023 | The Modern Crone: Season 4: Creative Spirit with Anastassia Selezneva | 00:50:39 | |
Creative Spirit with Creative Director - Anastassia Selezneva Anastassia Selezneva first began her creative exploration as a painter in her youth, and transitioned to jewellery design as a new medium in 2012. The desire came spontaneously when she walked into a jewellery supply store on Queen St in Toronto. This chance encounter ignited an immediate curiosity. Anastassia taught herself basic goldsmithing techniques late into most nights and early mornings. Moving between her kitchen counter and her makeshift studio, she experimented with wire wrapping gemstones, fusing metals, and stone setting. Her life began to form a duality; she was a business analyst by day, and an artist by night. The pull to be immersed in creativity was clear and in 2015, Anastassia quit her job, began training as a professional goldsmith at George Brown College and simultaneously, launched her line, Anastassia Sel Jewelry. Synonymous with her roots, Anastassia’s collection is handmade in Toronto, using 100% certified Canadian gold and ethically sourced materials. Since then, Anastassia’s work has been featured in Vogue, Elle, Wedluxe, Brides, among other publications, has walked the New York, Milan and Toronto runways, and can be found in select boutiques in Canada, US and online. Join us as we explore Anastassia’s journey into her full creative expression, how our greater purpose keeps finding us until we respond, her incredible melding of spiritual travel and downloads into her jewellery, and how working with gold as supreme medium.

| 28 Apr 2023 | The Modern Crone: Season 4: Creative Spirit with Professional Artist Julie Williams | 00:46:49 | |
Creative Spirit with Professional Artist - Julie Williams Julie Williams was born an artist, passionate and creative as a little girl. She was drawn to esoteric practice as a teen, a full-blown Hippy in the early 70’s and then became a dedicated Biba follower of fashion in London. After studying art and ceramics at school she wanted to go to Art School in Brighton UK but her plans were thwarted so she went to Paris for a year in 1977. There her true passion for in Art and the History of Art developed, she returned home and completed a BA in business studies, tourism and law to appease her parents and shortly after emigrated to Sydney Australia. Finding love and becoming a mother at 24 left no time for developing her artistic passion. She immersed herself in ‘Looking at Art’ until the age of 41 when she finally achieved her dream and enrolled at the National Art School in Sydney in 2000. Since then Julie has been in numerous exhibitions in Sydney, Regional Australia, and Singapore including a satellite exhibition during ARTJOG in Jogjakarta Indonesia in 2018. It was whilst living in Singapore for five years that Julie also developed her esoteric practice and deepened her Spiritual enquiry that really shifted her creative practice. Her paintings are conceptual, based on an idea and constructed with attention to her craft, but lately she has felt drawn to clearing her mind of all thought and trusting her Spirit to pull her through a painting. A painting is an illusion of space and it is this playing with space through shape, form and colour that keeps Julie painting. Join us as Julie shares her unique journey into claiming her creative expression fully later in her life, how her process feels as she nurtures concept to finished work, and how important her spiritual practice is for staying in flow and aligned with the truth of her works.

Rebecca Downie is an international personal branding photographer whose clients are based across the UK, Singapore and Australia. Her great uncle was a photographer and it was the many old photos from her mum's life that instilled in her the value of photos. A tangible record of a life lived. From teen years she often had a camera in her hand but with no creative role models in her life she followed the traditional path of uni and business, followed by a 15 year career in the media and marketing industry. When looking to leave corporate to create a life on her terms she turned to her love of photography. Her passion is empowering women leaders and founders to proudly take the space they deserve. Her 'why' in business is to provide a service that not only creates a portfolio of stunning on-brand marketing images for their business, but one that shows them, via the power of her lens, just how fabulous they are. And how the world already sees them.

On today’s episode I am joined by Mark Flood.

He feels that in an age of information proliferation, we can all forget where to go to find our own visions- while being surrounded by so much of the sight already seen. Mark has learnt from shamanic teachers over the past seven years and also acknowledges the teachings from the unseen and inner ones that have been with him and felt since a young boy. He considers himself to still be in training for his shamanic becoming, as he believes in the long road, and the long ways in which learning arrives through the measures of walking this path through great distances of time. Mark moves deeply and reverently within the spaces he holds and really enjoys the connective moments that arise out of the hearts of human beings gathering in sacred circles. He practices the shamanic work daily and has allied himself through this work to a purpose and a type of medicine that helps to reveal a vision of life that Is unique and available to every one of us. Join us as we explore Mark’s story of a felt-knowing of the Great Mystery from his boyhood, the ecstatic path of the soul, the disruptive dynamics of Shamanism, the soul’s call, working with spiritual allies and finding the resonance of ‘wonder within’. Mark shares with us how his poetry moves through him as an extension of this ‘felt knowing’ and a sublime revelation of the nonlinearity of who we were, who we are and who we are becoming, all coexisting in every moment. We end the podcast with a reading of Mark’s beautiful poetry. Divine! https://www.instagram.com/sandbox_shamanics_visioning/ www.sandboxshamanics.com | |||

| 28 Oct 2021 | The Modern Crone: Season 1: The 21st Century Shaman: Rubiyanti Basuki | 00:51:30 | |
Rubiyanti Basuki was born in the high land of Dieng Plateau, Java, in 1979 and left home at an early age, engaging in life’s lessons when most of us are cocooned in family and school. Her connection with Spirit and the land through her Kejawan roots meant that she responded to life experiences through a wider angle. Yanti believes that her path of complex life realities was, and is, a path of empowerment, held by Mother Earth, to accelerate consciousness and spiritual evolution. She sees her experiences of life and her two children as clear channels of wisdom within that evolution. Join us as we explore the native spirituality of Java as the ‘flowing water of spirit’; the importance of harmony with all phenomenon; the relationship between the land and respect of its drive for balance; the true nature of Java’s sacred sites; shamanism and structured religions and how spirituality is not mutually exclusive of success in business and life...and so much more!

21ST CENTURY SHAMAN WITH SHAMANIC HEALER, MEDITATION TEACHER AND SPIRITUAL MENTOR, LOUSE GILMORE Notwithstanding her early work as a journalist, after an intense period of crises, tragedies and shocks, Louise discovered meditation and threw herself into discovering all she could about it. This led her to eventually learning and teaching meditation and training people to become teachers for 40 years. Shamanism ‘grabbed’ her in a similar way and she has explored, practiced and taught this fascinating modality for 20 years. Louise also offers one to one shamanic healing sessions. Louise also happens to be my teacher, mentor and dear friend and I am so thrilled that she is joining me for a chat in this season. Join us as we explore the nature of ‘modern shamanism’, trance and the wisdom that is available to us within altered states; the spiritual familiarity of shamanism; the active space of dreaming; the importance of meditation to enter silence and what can be found within the silence. We ask the questions: Is Shamanism in our DNA? We share our experiences of ecstatic posture and meeting in ‘the other’ regardless of time or space and the questions these experiences raise about a shared spiritual reality and the power of intention….and so much more!

| 09 Dec 2021 | The Modern Crone: Season 1: The 21st Century Shaman: Miguel Kavlin | 00:47:41 | |
21ST CENTURY SHAMAN WITH SHAMANIC TEACHER, SPACE HOLDER AND MEDICINE MAN, MIGUEL KAVLIN Miguel A. Kavlin was born in la Paz, Bolivia, where he lived until he was 17 years old. Upon finding himself in the United States to study at university, he started to have unusual experiences which eventually led him to become interested in Native American culture and religion. Miguel’s spiritual path has led him to studying and participating in various ceremonies with Beautiful Painted Arrow (Joseph Rael), leading him to eventually inherit the title of Chief for both the Sun-Moon Dance and the Long Dance with sacred Cactus of the Andes; training with Sifu Kenny Gong, an international martial arts teacher and traditional Chinese doctor, in the arts of Shing-Yi Chuan and Pa-Kua. This training has provided Miguel with a very serious grounding to all his spiritual practices. Eventually Miguel’s path led him to an apprenticeship with Don Agustin Rivas Vazques in his jungle camp. Now Miguel is the only foreigner authorized by Don Agustin to conduct his ceremonies outside the Peruvian Amazon. Since 1995 Miguel has also been apprenticing with Don Hector Aguanari and Don Jose Coral. Amongst his many incredible achievements Miguel has completed graduate studies in Anthropology and Philosophy; has set up a non-profit agency that works with NYC’s public school students in multicultural awareness, violence-prevention, adolescent rites of passage, and various other educational programs; a three-part Video-Documentary series on Peruvian Amazon Shamanism, entitled Spirits of the Rainforest featuring interviews with Don Agustin Rivas Vazques and the Paintings of Don Pablo Amaringo. Miguel started the Sacharuna Community in Bolivia, 25 years ago, dedicated to help people heal disorders and learn to serve using practices and teachings from the Amazonian Indian, native North American, Buddhist, Sikh and Judeo Chrisitian traditions and teachings. Miguel’s deepest prayer, to truly be of service to the collective in the most profound ways possible. Join us as we explore the truth of ‘the Hollow Bone’ state, the vibrational nature of being, the importance of devotional inner practice and the ‘Principle’ Idea’ of all things. We share our experience of Ayahuasca ceremony, the communion with the Spirit of the Plant Medicine and the ‘naked truth’ it enables….and much much more!
