From Shadow to Sovereignty

🌟 Episode Summary:

What if the turbulence of our times isn’t the end… but the beginning?

In this episode of From Shadow to Sovereignty, I sit down with visionary leader Stephen Dinan founder of The Shift Network, author of Sacred America, Sacred World, and a bridge-builder between ancient wisdom and our emerging future.

We dive deep into Stephen’s personal journey from skeptic to spiritual pioneer, his early awakening through unexpected experiences, and the bold idea at the heart of his work: spiritual sovereignty. From men’s circles and tender edges of connection, to AI as a conscious collaborator, Stephen’s insights will challenge, inspire, and maybe even rewire how you see the future.

• What men’s circles taught Stephen about intimacy, boundaries, and authentic brotherhood
• Why the breakdown of old systems might be the birth pangs of a new civilization
