About Feather of Light Podcast

"On healing" with Brandon Tilt, is my philosophical/academic exploration space where I share my lens as a counsellor, IFS-Coach and offer reflections around spirituality. I am not a teacher, an expert and don't claim expertise in my profession, but I have lived a very full and experience-laden life, beginning my healing journey in 2015, gradually learning from my studies of Psychology, Spirituality, Philosophy and my experiential wisdom from overcoming various addictions. More recently I've been understanding the world of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and applying this lens to healing myself. brandontilt.substack.com (https://brandontilt.substack.com?utm_medium=podcast)

   #81 On Human Centered Designs for Communities with Dr. Julie Waldron

   In this episode I interview a professor of mine at EIA Universidad in Las Palmas, Antioquia, Colombia. We have a lovely discussion (in English, which is her second language) and she shares more about her experience in her field of Human Factors and Ergonomics. Dr. Julie Waldron is an Architect and Lecturer at Universidad EIA, and mother to Oliver, an eight-year-old boy who inspires her to think about the future of cities for all. She leads the “EnergEIA” Research Group and the MSc. in Smart Cities, and holds a Ph.D in Human Factors from the University of Nottingham. Her research focuses on sustainable cities, energy transition and human-centred design, exploring how technology and innovation can improve people’s quality of life. We flow through a range of topics, many of which admittedly go over my head, but land on some beautiful and inspirational take aways about the human condition and how engineers and architects impact millions of people through cultivating environments. We also briefly explore the community energy project she is leading, and I am helping with, and end on the importance of community involvement/inclusivity.

   #80 On Energetic and Spiritual Hygiene with Paradox P. 1

   In this episode Paradox and I explore Energetic hygiene practices, sharing some of our own personal practices, as well as discussing the topic in general. We bring in our personal experiences as well as practices we have been introduced to, in some cases granted permission to share or teach, others we humbly approach with our limited understanding. We discuss a range of tools from various lineages, witchy pagan teachings, practical wisdom from the counselling field, to the universal wisdom of water, shamanic teachings from the Shipibo and sound healing. Paradox is a multi-media artist, and activist who aspires to become a decolonized somatic art therapist. She currently works as a tarot reader, offering intuitive guidance and advice with her business “DivinationsByParadox”. I deeply appreciate her perspective as an Indigenous woman of Nehiyaw & Metis ancestry who has undertaken a long journey of reconnection to her ancestors and culture, whilst navigating the complexities of healing her addictions and traumas. ᑭᓇᓈᐢᑯᒥᑎᐣ (kinanâskomitin) Nitotem!

   #79 On Healing our Sexual Energy and Compulsiveness

   This brief podcast episode is my first attempt at recording any podcast episodes since leaving Canada to study abroad in Medellin on July 7th. I am slowly catching up to the regular flow of life, and I feel it’s important to add that this topic has been highly relevant to my healing since long before my travel date. Compulsive patterns are common for ADHD folks, especially those who previously filtered their experience using substances, video games, junk food, or other process addictions. I also used to be seriously addicted to P*rnography and around age 22 chose to break this habit. Our sexual energy is potent. When we aren’t able to understand the severity of social conditioning that we are exposed to, often since childhood, or are essentially “slaves to our desires”, we can operate in a kind of autopilot for most of our lives. I propose that anyone who listens to this podcast takes personal accountability for their actions (especially men in the context of misogyny and exploiting women) whilst also doing the delicate inner work of introducing more care and self love into your inner world. Underneath of it all, there exists the isolated, disconnected, and wounded parts of us that long for connection, acceptance and love. My intention with my podcast episode is not to shame or dismiss the struggles of those who are actively healing their sexual wounding, but to encourage honest and sober reflections that lead to lasting changes which with time and effort, reduce harm to self or others. Thanks for listening! More episodes to come with guests that I meet in Colombia or eventually, other parts of South America. I acknowledge that these lands belong to Los Pueblos indígenas en Colombia: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muisca_people) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muisca_people)⁠ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muisca_people)⁠Muisca⁠, ⁠Quimbaya⁠, ⁠Tairona⁠, ⁠Calima⁠, ⁠Zenú⁠, ⁠Tierradentro⁠, ⁠San Agustín⁠, ⁠Tolima⁠, and Urabá. I will try and add more in depth land acknowledgements or episodes that talk more about these people’s and their history as I uncover this knowledge myself.
