About Sinead:

Sinead is an Intuitive Healer who specialises in Womb work, intimacy, desires, and pleasure. Sinead came into this work after years of struggling with her periods, emotions, and lack of pleasure in my life. As she started to learn about the womb wisdom that has been lost, she realised that it was all connected to our disconnection from our wombs and the magick that we hold there. Sinead now shares this wisdom with others across a range of different modalities and life phases. Sinead is passionate about getting this knowledge into the hands of young women, so that they can feel empowered transitioning into cyclical life.

In this week's episode I am speaking with Duke Sayer, a self-awareness and energy coach who after experiencing chronic pain and numbness in his 20's changed his life by finding his truth. In this powerful conversation Duke shares with us how this change took place not only physically and mentally but also across his whole life as he transformed how he showed up in the world and in his business.

We discuss in depth:

  • how before he had any of the tools he has today he realised that the situations he was experiencing were happening for him and not to him

  • the process he went through to find his truth

  • the importance of being open to what is to come and having trust

  • how change without embodiment and integration can still leave you feeling numb or stuck

  • what can potentially lie on the other side of change

  • the idea of awakening to self and what it truly means

About Nikki:

I began my yoga journey in 2012 with the hopes of gaining enough flexibility to touch my toes. After the first few months of consistent practice, not only did I achieve my goal of reaching my feet, I also slept better at night, felt more relaxed during the day and noticed a bigger gap between stress triggers and my habitual responses.

Yoga has made a significant impact on my physical health, but it has always been the psychological shifts that have most piqued my interest. From this place of curiosity, I pursued 500 hours of Yoga Teacher Training, and an 800 hour Yoga Therapy Training, not to mention a bookshelf full of yogic texts and books that connect the body and mind.

I love connecting the anatomy and physiology of biomedical science, with the energy and philosophy of yoga. It's from this merging of yoga and science that I share balance of western medicine and eastern wisdom to my community. It is my intention is to educate, empower, and inspire each of my clients by providing the tools needed to lead themselves to a better state of health and well-being.

About Zoe:

Zoë K. M. Foster is on a quest to uncover and rebirth the deep soul of our world. As an artist and writer, she fully embodies this energetic intention to create immersive, profoundly sensual and multi-sensory experiences through her large-scale abstract art, poetry, meditations and reflections.

She is also the creator of SacredExpression™️ Yoga - a playful, whole-body experience involving life-size paper, coloured pastels, sacred geometry and divine feminine immersion to help you tap into your deepest soul messages and integrate them fully into your conscious, everyday evolution!

Zoë’s background in cognitive psychology, linguistics, design and yoga allow her to play with - and hold sacred space for - the many tensions between what we expect, and what actually most needs to be expressed – both personally and collectively.

This is where tantra, embodiment work and cosmic spirituality step in to free us from the shackles of Greek thinking, and what we find there is an unseen space beyond polarities: an infinite spectrum of possibility.

Through her YouTube show, “Core Truths”, Zoë hosts intimate conversations with soul-driven changemakers all playing their part in birthing the new world. She digs down right to the core light of who we are, and what motivates, inspires and drives us as individuals, as humanity and even as an integral player within the universe itself...

“When you use this word [Sacrosanct] it calls on me to tap into my inner sacred space and align more and more to the integrity of that energy.”

In this beautiful first episode with Annemiek I find my feet with the new podcast format and we talk about this word 'Sacrosanct' what it evokes in us and how it felt in our bodies to receive it.

We discuss:

  • Sacred Mayonnaise
  • How tapping into the precious essence at the heart of our lives unlocks deep connection to meaning and purpose and how your career doesn’t have to be spiritual in order to access that.
  • Why we’re both ‘anti’ being hired to empower people (and the real implications of empowerment, sovereignty, self initiation and responsibility.)
  • Being in right relationship with our surroundings and our self
  • What is Sacrosanct in her life right now - how layering the sacred with the every day has become a way of life (something she learned from a mentor of hers Lindsay Pera)
  • What the pandemic has made sacrosanct for her
  • How this podcast and the art of conversation is doing its part to dismantle Capitalism and allowing us to create something else extraction culture and consumer awareness.

Welcome to This Sacrosanct Life podcast.

The podcast where we find reverence in our reality and magic in the mundane.

Each episode I'm going to be exploring self actualization and mysticism, from a place of curiosity and asking “What is actually valuable, important, hallowed or sacred to us?”

Sometimes alone, and sometimes with a guest I will be unpacking different perspectives and ideas on living a wild, true and uniquely satisfying life where you get to be more you.

My intention is that you become more inspired and motivated to live courageously and to share your authentic, magical, playful, powerful, joyful essence with the world.

Next Steps: * Join the next Value Filtered Living Community Call (free) - You are so welcome to join our community call for a monthly check in. We pull a card, drop in for a meditative moment and a breath together followed by a conversation on ‘adulting’ and living a Value-Filtered and ‘Sacrosanct’ life! This is also where you can ask any questions you may have; from one of the self study courses, about taking your journey further or something that is present in your life. All of you is welcome.
