28. Meredith Spearman and the Maze to Metanoia
Apr 2101:30:22Tap to summarizeIn December of last year, five short months ago, a substack appeared, and it made quite a splash. It’s titled MAZE TO METANOIA, and it’s authored by a shining new voice in this field—Meredith Spearman. Her essays are a much needed antonym to the steady drumbeat of “disclosure” news and speculation. Meredith is ignoring the UAP headlines, and instead looking at the complexities of contact with a grace and insight that is so needed right now. This is a really strong interview— and it’s exactly the kind of conversation I want to have. Meredith is a gifted speaker, and beautifully addresses the elusive issues, and how they’re all tangled up within a long list of overlapping subjects. This interview runs one hour and 23 minutes.

Mar 2101:54:12Tap to summarizeSamantha’s story is a rich tapestry of experiences that shouldn’t be connected—but they are.

Samantha just self-published her first book, BORN AWAKENED, with the sub-title An Otherworldly True Story. This is a deeply personal memoir of travels beyond the veil.

Feb 1901:47:57Tap to summarizeBefore we met, Lucinda sat directly across from me and declared that owls are connected to UFOs and shamanism. Be assured, we talked after that.

Transcribe →24. Bryn Chainey—Rabbit Trap, and brave filmmaking
Oct 1901:22:51Tap to summarizeRabbit Trap is a movie about fairies. It’s also a story of the landscape, and the yearning for connection. Bryn Chainey is a young British director with a vision of how a film should feel, and the emotions it can generate. The film features Dev Patel and Rosie McEwen and a mysterious third character, played by Jade Croot. But the real stars are the sound and the land. We talk about movies, folklore, inspiration, healing, and the mystery of the creative process. Rabbit Trap is available for streaming on Amazon Prime, Apple TV and Google Play.
