JOURNEY WITH ME

This series of posts will take you on real-world journeys through the most magical sites I’ve found on this planet. Over the years, I’ve been blessed to explore an incredible number of sacred places, some of them well-known, some of them completely unknown. In most of them, I’ve found revelations and insights I am eager to share with you.

Oftentimes, these places offer direct access into the world of archetypes, the mythical realm where the evolution of human consciousness is forged over centuries and millennia. And yet, these “journeys” are also human and relatable, because they touch on themes that we are all dealing with in our daily lives.

There’s only one meaningful choice in life, he said

You can join the forces of Light

Or you can join the forces of Love

—

If you choose Light, you’ll dedicate your life in service

To the elevation of human consciousness, constant refinement, sublimation of the gross

To purification and ascetic contemplation

This is the Straight Way, which will take you higher and higher

You will be held by the Clerics, guided by the Saints

Doing your part for the Perfection of Humankind

Some will call you a dead bone, a fanatic, a prude

But you will learn to pray for them, too

Until you offer your last breath

—

If you choose Love, you’ll dedicate your life in service

To the enlargement of the human heart to contain it all

To the embodied experiencing of every facet of humanness

Not shying away from the temples, the markets, or the back alleys

You will embrace it all, accept it all, love it all

This is the Windy Way, which will take you deeper and deeper

You will be held by the Courtesans, guided by the Mystics

Doing your part for the Wholeness of Humankind

Some will call you a renegade, an impious, a lowly

But you will learn to love them, too

Until you offer your last breath

THE EMOTIONAL GAME OF MONEY If you are invested i

THE EMOTIONAL GAME OF MONEY

If you are invested in any kind of financial market, I’m sure you have experienced some strong emotions in the last couple of months.

Between February and April, the S&P500 stock index fell by up to 19%. Tech stocks and crypto have been down even more.

What did you do during these big market swings? Did you panic-sell? Did you hold steady? Did you buy more?

Or did you choose not to get involved at all and stay on the sidelines?

Those cold percentage numbers hide powerful emotions.

Markets, especially financial markets, are extremely emotional.

In fact, dealing with money beyond simple everyday use is an emotional process with a strong shamanic element.

What do I mean by that?

We go into altered states of consciousness when dealing with money. The more we are involved in investments, businesses, financing, real estate, etc, the more movements in markets will bring us into altered states, flooded with powerful emotional energy.

This is why having little or no money can be so liberating. When we don’t have skin in the game, we may feel like we have more control over our emotions and states of consciousness than when we do have money.

Conversely, those who have chosen to work with the energy of Money will inevitably experience an emotional roller coaster, especially at the beginning of their journey.

Do you have the tools to vibrate those emotions and transmute them into action?

Do you have the capacity to see market volatility as an upsurge of life force, and surf the waves of the markets instead of drowning?

We are in a time when markets are highly volatile and emotionally charged.

If we choose to engage with markets, we need to make sure our emotional and shamanic body is resilient enough to handle the movement.

This is part of what we’re going to explore in my upcoming MC on Money.

We will access tools from embodied shamanic work, financial knowledge, and an approach that sees Money as a life force—dancing between polarities, always in search of a dynamic equilibrium.

There’s a silver thread running through the thre

“Anyone who is not interested in money in one fo

“Anyone who is not interested in money in one form or another, is deemed to have played his cards all wrong and missed out on the real purpose of his life. “

- C.G. Jung

Wise words, and yet I don’t know that there’s a more charged topic. Not even Power.

The way Money tickles our ethical dilemmas, the way it brings up our contraditions and hypocrisies is second to none. The bipolar attitude most of us have towards Money is legendary.

And honestly, I can’t blame us.

Because what we call “money” today is an extremely multi-layered, abstract, and volatile construct.

Money in our age looks like a house of mirrors in which our emotions are going to lead us head-on into a crash.

A labyrinth that forces us to do the opposite of what our survival instincts tell us to if we want to survive.

Like in a surreal casino, we are forced to play against a house that bends the rules, but doesn’t mind rewarding us beyond any logic if we outsmart it.

This Masterclass is going to open your eyes in uncomfortable ways. I’m not here to tell you that you “deserve” abundance. I’m not here to tell you that you should just price yourself higher and all will be well.

The journey with Money is confronting, and I’m striving to make my contribution so that the people I love have a better chance at playing this rigged game.

This is an invitation to open your eyes to the madness and complexity of our currency system, and become more skilled in navigating its head-spinning landscape.

And hopefully, have some fun in the process.

One of the coolest things I did last year was part

One of the coolest things I did last year was participating, together with KamalaDevi McClure, in a virtual summit organized by Re/Culture Media, creators of The Village of Lovers documentary.

We were interviewed by John Wolfstone, co-creator of the documentary, on all things ISTA, with a specific angle on sacred sexuality, accountability, and the transformations ISTA was undergoing.

John turned out to be much more than an interviewer. I discovered in him a keen, inquisitive soul, a leading voice in the global conversations that matter to me.

So I am beyond excited to meet again with John, this time accompanied by two powerful ISTA allies Laurie Handlers and Araminta Barbour.

This time, our conversation will be more focused on Power. This is a new and exciting direction that I feel ISTA orienting itself to, while keeping its roots firmly anchored in the field of sacred sexuality and embodied awareness.

As long-standing communities like Tamera have discovered decades ago, there is a nexus between sexuality, power, currency, and our relationship with the Earth—and all of those dimensions are drivers of global conflict or global peace.

I hope we can unpack some of these undercurrents in our talk with John. I don’t know where the conversation will go, but I know there will be an outstanding amount of curiosity and willingness in the room.

That’s it. It is birthed.

This creation - ARKHÈ - has been gestating in me for years.

Since way before I got interested in Tantra, sexuality, and shamanism.

This goes back to my discovering C.G. Jung at 21, while I was in a passionate relationship with an incredible woman who is now one of the best Jungian analysts in Italy.

I was completely transfixed when I read about archetypes and the collective unconscious. At first, this involved a lot of studying, meditating, looking inside, and analyzing.

Then, thanks to shamanism and embodiment, the door opened for me to live the archetypes - letting them speak through me, move through me, feel through me.

My life hasn’t been the same ever since.

Now, it’s time to bring the two streams together.

Embodiment and shamanism, and the deep explorations of emotions and sexuality, on one side.

Deep psychological, transpersonal, archetypal initiatory work, on the other side.

It is clear, it is guided, and it is happening.

Jung himself tried to do embodied archetypal work, in the gatherings held on mount Ascona in Switzerland, together with an assembly of mystics, theosophists, anarchists, and artists.

But the time wasn’t quite ripe for a full-blown embodied archetypal transpersonal culture to arise.

Is the time ripe now? We’ll find out. I believe so. I feel so.

For now, this first round is mainly targeted at experienced beings, who are ready to jump into an electrifying container in formation.

It’s the Maiden Voyage.

If you want more, I’ve written more in-depth about what ARKHÈ, is and who it is for, here:

Deep exhale.

It is birthed.

WHY AM I OBSESSED WITH ARCHETYPES? It’s essenti

WHY AM I OBSESSED WITH ARCHETYPES?

It’s essentially a matter of efficiency.

Let me explain:
As William James said, “We are like islands in the sea, separate on the surface but connected in the deep.”

Our individual stories and experiences may LOOK and FEEL different and unique, but ... they aren’t.

Most of what we go through is a variation on one among a few scripts.

Think about our most painful dramas.

The hardships of romantic love, power play and intrigue, intergenerational drama, war between genders, conflict between siblings…

These are some of the scripts that humanity plays out in a myriad of different ways.

It’s one of the illusions of our hyper-individualistic society that we are all so radically different from one another.

We are not.

So which one is smartest: spending 100% of our time in our personal stories and dramas, or trying to understand the scripts behind them?

Working with archetypes is like getting access to the source code of those stories.

Long ago, I discovered that an hour invested in looking at the depths of human experience would save me weeks trying to make sense of individual humans (including myself).

That’s not to say that one can just eject themselves into the archetypal world and live there forever. That would NOT work.

Archetypes inhabit a middle world.

It is wise to visit them, and then return to our personal lives, enriched with new teachings and tools.

No masterful work of art, no profound and far-reaching idea, no heart-rending passion, has ever come out of our private, personal self ONLY.

Behind all greatness, you’ll always find the current of our collective unconscious, embodied by archetypes.

If you want to join me for a ride in the deep waters of archetypes, I have a Masterclass coming up on the 21st of November which can be the indispensable starting point.
