   129. From Guru Culture to Community & How Spirituality Is Changing with HeatherAsh Amara

   This week, I'm talking with HeatherAsh Amara, author, teacher, and someone who's been doing this work for over three decades. We talked about how the spiritual landscape has shifted from guru culture to something more community-led, what unconditional leadership is, and how discernment is just judgment with less drama attached. We also got into firewalking, what happens in your body when you walk across hot coals, and why a bad book review might actually be good news. Plus social media, abundance, AI, and why sometimes the best thing you can do is just start. A wee note: I recorded this at the end of 2026. I’ve been tardy in getting this conversation posted 🙂 Find HeatherAsh: Website: https://warriorgoddess.com (https://warriorgoddess.com) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewarriorgoddessrevolution?igsh=cTF0cmxkejlyc2V6 (https://www.instagram.com/thewarriorgoddessrevolution?igsh=cTF0cmxkejlyc2V6) Mentioned in this episode: Scottish Highlands & Hebrides Pilgrimage 2026 with Rhonda & Ash - (2026 sold out - 2027 wait list open  - https://warriorgoddess.com/scottish-pilgrimage/) Wild, Willing, Wise by HeatherAsh Amara Warrior Goddess Training by HeatherAsh Amara HeatherAsh's Substack, Out of the Fire: https://heatherash.substack.com/ It's Not Your Money by Tosha Silver The Telepathy Tapes podcast The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz Barry and Marina's firewalk events https://kickashfirewalks.co.uk/ (https://kickashfirewalks.co.uk/)

   128. Gay, Queer Catholic Priest, Rev. Dr David William Parry, speaks on where the church lost its way & how to find a new way forward

   In this fascinating and wide-ranging conversation, I welcome Reverend Dr David William Parry, a gay, queer Old Catholic priest, poet, and theologian whose work bridges Christian tradition, LGBTQ+ spirituality, and the arts. As founding pastor of St. Valentine's Hall in London—an inclusive Catholic community—David brings a unique perspective on how ancient spiritual traditions can speak to modern seekers across all paths. We explore the surprising connections between Catholic mysticism and shamanic practice, challenge mainstream religious assumptions, and offer hope for those wounded by religious trauma. David's openness about his identity as an "unrepentant homosexual" clergyman provides refreshing honesty about navigating faith traditions that have historically excluded queer voices. You can learn more about David's work on his website (https://www.davidwilliamparry.com/home)

[…] And you might get burned, I don't know, let's find out, and I still have that sweater that I rolled in, and we're still amazed that it's intact, that, you know, holes didn't get burned in it, and it was so much joy, and so much possibility wrapped in what, a minute, maybe two, right? And that's really what fire walk coals teach us, is that there are these moments of possibility where we don't know what will happen, and we, me and Heather Ash, when we're leading our fire walks, and when we're attending the fire, we don't know at any fire walk, if everyone's gonna walk, if no one's going to walk, if there's a mixture of people that are gonna walk and not gonna walk, but either way, it will be an amazing fire walk, because we were there together, and we were doing this ritual in the ceremony, and that's the magic, is that we don't know, right?
