Today's episode features a unique guest, Fuana, a channeled ancient ancestor who resided on earth during the age of Atlantis. Fuana speaks through Chris Berry, a master musician of the African drums and Mbira, who studied and lived amongst the Shona people in Zimbabwe for many years of his youth, where he was initiated as a spirit medium.

Fuana, also referred to lovingly as "grandfather," or his nickname, "Haha,"  is a kind hearted and funny spirit, who shares insightful wisdom from the perspective of the spirit world, and also shares about traditions within his community during his time on earth 10,000 years ago.

In our conversation we discuss:
-the liminal space (the space "between" the physical and the spiritual"
-birth and how our ancestors play an important part of helping the baby come to the planet
-what happens after death & how we create our reality
-how there is no separateness between the physical body and the spirit realm
-how to deal with depression and challenges of the human existence
-the power of intention, prayer, and free choice
-illusions within our society & giving personal power away
-marriage and agreement protocols during Atlantean times

& so much more, this is truly an inspiring episode!

We are joined by singer/songwriter Esme' Olivia, and doula, herbalist, and mama, Jaide Rabbit  in our conversation as well.
