Neurons to Nirvana - The creative catalyst of grief with Maggie Daniels
play

03/25/22 • 55 min

Ever find yourself swimming in grief? Poet, writer and director Maggie Daniels has, and she wrote SWIMMING in hopes of bringing a relatable experience to any listener who has lost a parent, tried to save a friend, or feels alone and unable to articulate their feelings.

What do we gain when we lose someone we love? Maggie and I explore this topic in-depth in this heartfelt episode. Maggie explains how writing her poetry book "Swimming" helped her through a traumatic experience. Maggie shares some real wisdom about capturing moments from our loved ones while we have them as well as shares several of her powerful poems. She's pushed through trauma by making a trailer for a movie script called "Tanglewood" based on a true story.

Neurons to Nirvana - Journey with Mother Aya

Journey with Mother Aya

Neurons to Nirvana

play

11/11/21 • 39 min

Ayahuasca, known as the vine of the soul, is a plant native to the Amazon region, brewed from a jungle vine into a tea, and has been used by shamans for centuries in healing ceremonies. Tom shares his very personal journey with Mother Aya when traveling to South America. Ayahuasca is a ceremonial experience. A shaman is a vital difference between recreation and medicine. When someone says they “drink Ayahuasca,” it inherently means to drink in ceremony. This episode is a two-sided account of Tom’s ceremonial Ayahuasca experience. You will hear a personal account of visions, nightmares, and fears that unfolded and ultimately the sense of wonderment, enlightenment and self-love. Tom is joined by Adam Stammers, one of the retreat helpers from Bristol, England, who assisted the shaman and the participants throughout the entire ceremony. Adam’s perspective and insight may help the listener frame how an Ayahuasca ceremony can appear from an outsider’s point of view.

As an independent artist, Asher Laub has found ways to monetize his music career by both pushing conventional boundaries in composition and implementing creative strategies that inspire fans to keep consuming his unique music. He is an electronic violinist, bollywood violinist, producer, composer, and performer.

Asher is known for breakdancing across stages with his LED electric violin, and after you hear his how he lost his music career to adrenal insufficiency and subsequently recovered, I believe that you will be inspired by his story.

Cannabis pioneer, co-founder of the non-profit medical cannabis dispensary Harborside, Weed Wars reality TV star and Forbes Contributor Andrew DeAngelo speaks about a variety of topics related to plant medicine and cannabis legislation. One of his most passionate advocacy positions is to free every prisoner that has been incarcerated unjustly for cannabis and in many places where it has been decriminalized or in fact now even legal through the Last Prisoner Project.

His mission stems from a very personal family experience and it conveys how our personal experiences fuel an unrelenting persistence to advocate for change. Andrew is an exceptional individual who has made it his mission in life to help others navigate the confusing regulations and commercial aspects around cannabis.

Andrew has an important call to action for all of us on ways to get involved from the grassroots education, to voting, to personal entrepreneurship.

Even if you may not believe in cannabis decriminalization personally, I ask that you keep your mind open as Andrew provides a powerful playbook on how to have a successful advocacy and involvement program in how to invoke change on any single issue that you might be very passionate about currently in today’s very polarizing cultural and political climate. Andrew’s is cannabis, and after you listen to our discussion, I believe you’ll understand why exactly.

A native from Georgia, Chance shares his motivational approach to writing, publishing, coaching football, and making the very most of his life, including owning and learning from his mistakes. That's how he got the nickname Lucky Chance.

Neurons to Nirvana - Southern Charm and Soulful Swag with Niki J Crawford
play

09/01/22 • 17 min

Niki J Crawford and her band bring the heat with a high-energy soul get down. There is undeniable energy hitting the airwaves on this week’s podcast. You can feel her Soul, Funk, and R&B sound. Niki and the band members have shared the stage and have played with Carlos Santana, Snoop Dogg, Al Green, Macy Gray, The Roots, and Keb Mo just to name a few of the performers who have sought out her talent.

She has performed on various late-night TV shows such as Jay Leno, David Letterman, Conan O’Brien, and Saturday Night Live.

Making her way from the small country town of Springhill, Louisiana to Los Angeles, Niki is a triple threat: powerful vocalist, imaginative screen and songwriter, and stunning actress.

Niki sat down with me after the California Worldfest to bring her signature southern charm, and probably the best compliment I could share with you is that sitting down with Niki feels like being home in Savannah, Georgia.

Check out Niki's links: https://linktr.ee/NikiJCrawford

Also in this episode, you can join along in the experience through video on my YouTube channel @neuronstonirvanapodcast

What does it mean to be a Utopian? After twelve years, attendees of UTOPiAfest celebrate mind-blowing musical performances, breathtaking West Texas Hill Country sunsets and dark skies showcasing the Milky Way.

In this first of several Discover UTOPiA episodes, I interview founder Travis Sutherland, and creative mastermind Wayne Dalchau. UTOPiAfest encompasses the best aspects of the festival experience: great performances, musical discovery, quality time with new and old friends, and a true alternative and escape from the large festival scene.

In April, I went backstage to hear from the musicians about what UTOPiAfest actually meant to them. There are great songs and stories that you can only hear on the Discover UTOPiA episodes. Stay tuned for future episodes featuring many great musicians.
