In this episode, host Erik Jampa Andersson sits down with Lian Brook-Tyler, a shamanic healer and founder of the Be Mythical Academy, as well as the host of the wonderful @BeMythical podcast. They discuss the importance of living a soul-led, heart-centred, and sovereign path, as well as the limitations of modern spirituality and the need to integrate relational dynamics into our spiritual practice. They also touch on the complexities of language in recognising the personhood of non-human beings, the never-ending nature of the spiritual journey, and the impact of neurodivergence on spirituality. The conversation touches on the need to move away from a monolithic and homogenous view of humanity (and nature) and embrace the richness of individual differences. They also explore the idea of "living mythically" and its relation to being in relationship with the many others in our more-than-human world.
