I’m joined by my beautiful friend Chela, a Costa Rican healer, therapist, moon dancer, astrologer, doula, and all-around embodiment of feminine wisdom.

Send us a text This is a special episode from the "lost archives" of the Love Is Our Nature Podcast, recorded back in October of 2022. In this episode of the Love Is Our Nature Podcast, I sit down with one of my dear brothers, Ben Gabin. We recorded this in-person here in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica—on a gorgeous day overlooking the ocean, hummingbirds flying by—and the vibes were on point. We dive into creativity, connection, conscious living, and courage. Ben shares how freestyle rap helped ...
Send us a text Episode Overview: In this episode, I have the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Hebe Dickins, a somatic therapist, energy psychologist, and yoga and meditation teacher. Hebe’s journey started in the world of acting, but her deep curiosity about the mind-body connection led her into the fields of trauma healing, energy psychology, and somatic therapy. We dive deep into what trauma really is, how it can show up in our lives (often without us realizing it), and the power of t...
Welcome to the first Solo-cast of the Love Is Our Nature Podcast! In this episode I veer away from the usual interview format to share with you a vulnerable open-hearted reflection. I also share a valuable and inspiring message from my past self, as I explore the challenges and fears that often hold us back from pursuing our dreams. Some Key Takeaways: Facing Fear: The central theme revolves around fear and how it can paralyze us, preventing us from pursuing our most cherished dreams and goal...
There's no summing up the professional title of Cristina Kalyani. She is a yoga teacher, hypnotherapist, sound-healer, Akashic Records Reader, Reiki practitioner and many other things as well. My favorite title for her however, is Friend. In fact, she was the first person to meet Luka after his surprise arrival at 4:51am on Halloween. Kalyani waited outside of the supermarket till it opened on her way to come visit us to bring us diapers and wet wipes. Ellanah and I were ex...
One of the intentions of the L.I.O.N. Podcast is to inspire people to create a life beyond their dreams. That’s why I invited Nicolin on the show, because she is doing exactly that. She is no different than anyone who’s been living in the city working a 9-5 job. Just recently she was living in New Your City working for a big PR firm. What separates her from many people is that when she felt that life had more to offer her, she took action. This is the process that I am i...
Annabelle recently founded her own Yoga School, The Bhakti Path, and just led her first Yoga Teacher Training in Costa Rica. In this episode, she shares her beautiful story of following her heart and trusting her intuition. I love that aspect of her story because I feel that we could use a little bit more of that. You hear her story of how she refused to get a 9-5 job in order to pursue her passion. I met Annabelle in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica. She became Ellanah’s h...
We’re gonna be parents! None of us imagined it happening so soon, yet here we are. This is probably the most vulnerable episode of this mini-series with Ellanah. We both put it all out on the table in regards to what it was like to learn that we were going to be parents 3 months into our relationship, and even more so, the challenges that arose as we sought out to deepen our connection. There is no stronger binding agent between two people than having a child together. And so str...
CONTINUATION OF EPISODE 22. Having shared with you what prepared us for a conscious relationship, in the remainder of this session (Part 2), Ellanah and I delight in telling you the story of how it all happened. I remember making a deal with the Universe. The deal was that when it would be time for me to connect with a romantic partner, it would be inevitable that I miss it. This way I wouldn’t have to sit there and try to figure it all out. As you’ll ...
We got to know Ellanah, her story, and some of the beautiful work she’s doing in Part 1 of this Special Feature. In Part 2, Ellanah and I explore the idea of Conscious Relationship, and more importantly, what we each went through in preparation for one. It's a beautiful topic to explore given that it is dear to all our hearts. Both of us find ourselves incredibly blessed to be taking part in each other’s lives as romantic partners. For me...
One of the beautiful things I noticed about Ellanah early on was how every single person in the community in Costa Rica had the most wonderful things to say about her. Everyone without fail seemed to notice something very special about her. I myself couldn’t help but notice the soft loving presence and awareness that she would bring to every single moment. She seemed to kiss the Earth with her feet with every step she took. I wasn’t alone in thinking of her as the best exam...
“We don’t need to save the world. We need to let the world save us.” I was delighted to bring Darren back for the first episode of Season 2 of the Love Is Our Nature podcast. A lot has happened since I first had Darren in episode 8 about a year ago. I have partnered up with Darren to bring to life the Gaia Awakening Institute, which will be inaugurated later this year. The Gaia Awakening Institute is a center devoted to the evolution of huma...
Sitting on the plane last Sunday as my flight was about to land back in Miami, I was literally moved to tears. I had just finished journaling and reflecting back at the beautiful process that took place this whole year and feeling so much gratitude for the life I have, and for who I get to be for myself in my body. It’s a tough thing to describe, this feeling of coming home to myself and arriving into the heart. In this episode, where we flip the script with my good...
Steffen is another one of those people that the Universe put directly on my path. 50 steps away to be precise. Steffen is my next door neighbor in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica. And he just so happens to be a fantastic music producer as well, with whom I’ve gotten to co-create some pretty amazing community events. He recently DJ’d an #EcstaticDance at our place where he played two and a half hours of original music! But what I most value him for is his kind and noble heart. He’s one ...
200 species a day currently go extinct. 80% of the people in the world live on less than $1/day. These are some of the facts that Alnoor underlines during this insightful episode. Alnoor acquired a Masters Degree in Political Philosophy in London School of Economics and Political Science. He is one of the Co-Founders of Tierra Valiente ‘aka’ Brave Earth, an alternative community in the Costa Rican Jungle where people get to exercise the atrophied muscle of living in communi...
Have you ever seen two grown men cry over their love for one another? I’ve been fortunate enough to foster deep brotherhood with several men throughout my life, so that experience has not been uncommon. Mike is one of those brothers, and we had one of those moments here. I met Mike in my first Ayahuasca Ceremony just over 4 years ago. We then had a weekly call for the next 18 months to support each other with our new intentions. Mike is a successful stock options investing ment...
The reality in which all your dreams have come true already exists in the field of possibilities. That's one of the things that Alesha emphasizes with all her clients. In this episode we get to discuss how you can make that reality your own. There's nothing that brings me more joy than seeing other people smile. And people smile most when they are experiencing their greatest joy. That's why I am excited to share this valuable conversation with you. When you make your dreams come ...
Kyle Mitri is a great friend of mine. I call him a Soul-Brother because the moment we met, we clicked instantly, and have thoroughly enjoyed every second we get to spend together since. Today Kyle coaches people in relationships, leads men's work coaching sessions, and has a conscious real-estate business (you'll learn what conscious real-estate is). However, that wasn't always the case. In this episode Kyle shares with us his 15 year bout with severe depression. If you have ever experienced ...
Sacred Sexuality is the art of using intimacy between humans and within yourself as a way of transcending in consciousness, liberating yourself from core wounds and conditioning and opening your heart fully to experience pleasure, bliss, ecstasy and joy in this life. This practice and exploration is what Livia dedicates herself to full-time. Livia is a Coach from the Tantric Institute of Integrated Sexuality. She starts by telling us how her intuition guided her to come to Santa Teres...
The Universe gave me a pretty amazing housemate. Phillipa Attwood, aka Pippa, and I crossed paths by living Templo Lila, our lovely home in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica. One thing that I’ve learned about this community is you never know who’s right in front of you. Getting to know Pippa has been a great joy of mine. I’ve learned so much from her in the short time that we have lived together. What has been most apparent to me is her deep love for nature. As someone who ...
