S1 E20 - Dreaming as Power: A Shamanic Approach to the Nighttime Realms - LightSong Talking Stick Podcast
Co-hosts: Jan Engels-Smith and Micah Schwader
What if nightmares aren't omens of doom but invitations to reclaim our soul's strength? What if that dream you can't shake is a message from the spirit world asking you to step into your full potential?
In this heart-opening episode of the Talking Stick Podcast, Jan Engels-Smith and Micah Schwader dive deep into the realm of dreams—not through the lens of Western psychology, but from the perspective of shamanic wisdom and spiritual empowerment.
Their dialogue explores how dreams can reveal our hidden power and how our left-brain analytical tendencies often distort the meaning and potential of these right-brain, spirit-driven experiences.
With vivid stories of their shamanic experiences, Jan and Micah illuminate how dreams, daydreams, and imagination are all sacred portals into the quantum field of possibility—and how aligning with this frequency can profoundly shift not just your nights, but your days.
This is more than a conversation about dreams—it's an invitation to remember your innate magic.
Tune in to discover:
· The difference between left-brain dream analysis and shamanic interpretation
· How to re-enter and reshape difficult dreams to reclaim personal power
· Why "daydreaming" can be more effective than traditional prayer in manifestation
· The connection between dream frequency and daily life outcomes
· How imagination is a form of spiritual communication and creative healing
Listen now, and step into your dreaming power.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
