The Conscious Fire Culture

The Mystic Danny Verdad

I interview a true mystic!
This episode is so special because this may be Danny's one and only appearance. 
I interview our sacrament practitioner Danny Verdad. We talk about his upbringing in traditional ways on the mountain in a small village in central Mexico. The benefits of retreat for wildland firefighters and why you should or shouldn't come. Danny speaks about how the retreat is not about changing or losing your identity but helping your soul remember the truth about love.
We explore deep philosophical questions and different perspectives of humanity. And every time I speak to Danny, I learn something new and see him for what he is. A true mystic that has changed my life in so many beautiful ways.
Don't miss this episode. Listening to Danny speak is always a blessing.

Destiny DeHaven: The Pattern Breaker and BS Detector

Today we have Destiny DeHaven, a pattern breaker, professional bull shit detector, speaker and SRT (subconscious response therapy), and NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) practitioner. 
We dive into what NLP is and how neurons fire. We discuss how you can rewire a neurological pattern and how it can benefit you. We talk about how to utilize emotions like anger and recognize how they can hurt or help you. Understand how your “bullshit” can hold trauma in your body and how the energy from emotions is held in your body after an event that may have been traumatic. Destiny runs Anne through an incredible example of her SRT process and we work through tough emotions live! Follow along in the process and see if you can move through a situation in your life.

Wildland Firefighter Mental Health with Close the Gap Wellness

Join Thomas, Anne, and Dani Shedden as we discuss what it takes to be healthy in wildland fire.
 
Dani explores the CISM, CBT therapy, and why mental health is physical too. We talk about gut health, PT, bodywork, acupuncture, and meditation. We discuss the grief process and why acceptance and surrender can create powerful healing. We go deep into why building your team of supporters is so important.
 
"Yeah, and you know there's no real answer or timeframe of how someone's gonna handle grief or how it's gonna impact them, and what I will say is when we go through something traumatic or we have a loss and we're grieving that. As clinicians, the biggest thing that we do is listen and support and understand the grief cycle. There's no real order in how we grieve. I think that some losses we have we will feel for our whole lives. It's how we handle that loss and how we allow ourselves some space to grieve and then how we seek treatment."

The Huna Experience

Anne Interviews Thomas about his recent Huna Level 2 experience. 
Thomas takes us straight to the weird magic of Huna and explains how intense the energy was during class. We take you on a ride through Hogwarts in Hawaii. We talk about why Ho'oku'u may be more powerful than Mental-Emotional Release because we are working with the spiritual, and mental, emotional bodies. 
We discuss the law of mentalism, quantum mechanics, and why everything is in your mind. We really go down a rabbit hole of what reality is.
Warning: if you don't have a strong sense of reality you may not want to listen to this podcast.
