The ability to slow down and self-regulate is a very important act of self-love and self-care that is accessible to anyone. - Robin Clements
My guest today is Robin Clements, an international leader in the field of conscious connected breathing. He is the founder of Breathwave, as well as a surfer, yogi and father.
Robin also happens to be my neighbour. As well, my partner has trained with Robin for many years and so it was inevitable that one day that I would dive deeper into breathwork.
This episode was recorded during Robin’s introductory 7 day training, in the beautiful Highlands area on Vancouver Island. Each day we gathered in circle to connect with each other, learn the science and way of breath, and dive deep into our practice.
In our conversation, Robin shares his own journey into breathwork, the foundational capacity to self-regulate one’s nervous system, and what patterns he often recognizes in men. We touch on partnership and fatherhood, and how his own relationship to breath has evolved over the years.
We begin this episode with a 10 minute breathwave journey for you. Feel free to listen on high quality headphones, find a comfortable place, and surrender to the breath of life.

#56 | The Sacred Role of Satire - The Alichemist
Dear listeners,
My guest today is Muhammad Ali Sardar, aka The Alichemist, a satirist who speaks to the themes of money, power, sex, race and religion.
In particular, he caught my eye through his various Instagram reels that depict a wry critique of men’s work tropes, blind spots, and the dangers of spiritual materialism.
Our conversation today is a hybrid experience. First, we open with his alter ego Patrick Dragon Lotus Flying Jaguar, where he speaks to his path of becoming a sacred men’s work facilitator, and how to succeed in this burgeoning industry.
From there, we shift gears and release the character - and I speak with Ali about his personal journey through transformational spaces, as well as the power of satire to bring a sacred mirror and upend dogma wherever it manifests.

#58 | The Courage of Radical Transparency with Melissa Maya
As lovers, can we move beyond the need to get it right - and instead be absolutely captivated with the desire to be real with each other?
My guest today is Melissa Maya, a writer & artist who works as a feminine leadership and somatic intimacy guide. She is devoted to midwifing a culture that is rooted in the resurgence & remembrance of feminine intelligence & intuition, and in her own words, “in service to women becoming obedient to their true nature.”
This conversation was sparked by a post from Melissa where she shared about her former experience as a domina - a female dominatrix - and what she discovered was most effective in inviting her male clients into a deeper surrender.
I hear her story, as well as her explorations of isogeny - the capacity to shift between an integrated masculine and feminine polarity, as well as the intimacy that can develop through the path of radical transparency in relationship.
