Marc-John Brown I Awaken To Plant Spirit Medicine

Today’s pod guest is a Shamanic Practitioner and Plant Medicine Integration Coach. He is closely partnered with a retreat centre in Peru's Sacred Valley collaborating with the Shipibo tribe:Introducing Marc-John Brown

Marc-John works hand-in-hand with the country's indigenous populations to educate the modern world on the ancient ways of utilising sacramental plants for personal discovery and growth. The teachings centre around living in harmony with nature and with Pachamama, our Earth Mother.

Marc-John travels the globe regularly, taking indigenous tribe members with him on a mission to take their Earth-based wisdom ways powerfully to the wider world. He collaborates with several non governmental organisations which seek to protect the indigenous way, as they grow in popularity around the world.

Marc-John's message is one of high vibration and inspiration in a modern setting, whilst remaining well-rooted in the ancient ways of the tribes with which he works.

We are so pleased to be bringing you a fascinating and uncommon topic, which raises questions and controversy, only because the majority of the world’s population is unaware of the value and magic of plants as a natural healing and spiritual medium.

Rose Siva | Awaken Your Resourcefulness

Today’s pod guest is a wonderful empty nester, grandmother, and author of children’s books: Rose Siva

Rose has had a lifelong love of books and reading – and dinosaurs. When her first career choice (looking after the Queen's horses) fell through, she immediately decided she would be an archaeologist so she could dig up dinosaurs.

However real life got in the way of her dreams at age six, and many years and two kids later she found herself running a private education business with a focus on learning and reading skills.

By chance Rose attended a lecture on Queensland Dinosaurs, which opened up an opportunity for her to volunteer to work on real dinosaur bones in Winton in 2008. With a reliable 4WD, two weeks of spare time, and a can-do attitude, she found herself camped in the shearers’ quarters on the Elliot property some distance from Winton where a number of dinosaur bones had been found. There she learned how to be preparator and is now a lifetime supporter of what is now the Australian Age of Dinosaurs.

It was a pleasure to haveRose on as our guest, a woman who takes life in her stride, showing much resilience, resourcefulness and a “can-do” attitude, as she reinvented herself and adapted to many changes along the way. We know you will be inspired!

In This Episode Find out:

A “can-do” very normal kind of life (02:50)
No waiting for anyone to fix your problems (03:10)

‘Awakening to Your Truth’

Today’s pod guest is extraordinarily special to us: Billie Lue Fung

You will fall in love with this lady’s heart, as we did, when co-creating with her in 2018/19. Through her Divine Mind Intelligence framework, she guided us to greater awareness of how to truly FEEL, and how to make choices based on a synchronised heart and mind. Her insight and wisdom has helped us to see ourselves in a different light, and her laughter and joy will have you smiling from ear to ear.

Billie Lue Fung engages us through her life journey from being raised by a blind lady, awakening to her gift, then being told at the age of six, to shut down her truth. She then lived the next 25 or so years of her life in a lie, attracting pain, violence, and unhealthy relationships. Billie shows us how she journeyed back to her truth, through experiences at tops of mountains and ones beyond her physical self. A riveting experience, enriched with so much growth, wisdom, love and joy.

Billie is the Director and Creator of Divine Mind Intelligence (DMI), a proven system, that helps her clients activate their nature, as quantum creators, thus attaining levels of Mastery that they once thought impossible. Billie co-creates a myriad of future visions, with clients from diverse backgrounds, guiding through DMI and quantum readings.

Billie Lue Fung’s mission is to serve from the highest point of consciousness, through love and truth, so others can awaken to their own truth.

EACH and every one of us has our TRUTH to discover and to HONOUR. It does not matter what your experience is, and it does not matter what anyone else thinks, what MATTERS is that you are here in your human body, to discover your TRUTH, to reconnect with your divinity, to know thyself and to experience UNIVERSAL TRUTH, which we know is LOVE.
