A single bow can hold a whole way of living: one that welcomes grief, honors endings, and leans fully into love. In this episode of the Rose Woman podcast, Christine Marie Mason sits down with Astrid Brinck, a contemporary teacher and integrative therapist from Chile whose life’s work orbits reverence, grief, and the deep craft of holding space. Together, they explore how natural cycles, fully felt sorrow, and conscious endings can carve us into more joyful, present, and reverent human beings. About Astrid Brinck Astrid Brinck is an apprentice of love, a contemporary teacher, facilitator, and integrative therapist from Chile. For more than three decades, she has devoted herself to understanding the maturation of the human heart through the lens of nature’s cycles and life’s initiations. Drawing from her research and lived experience, she created The Circle, a process for self‑mastery, along with the Inner Freedom Process and Reverent Leadership Training. Astrid works with leaders, organizations, and communities worldwide, focusing on cultures of care, grief and completion work, and the subtle relational skills required to hold space with integrity. She also trains facilitators in the “temptations of the facilitator” and how to create containers where people remain fully sovereign while being deeply supported. Listen now to journey with Astrid into a different way of relating to love, loss, leadership, and the sacred work of simply being human.

What if love, resonance, and political courage were not separate conversations, but facets of the same underlying reality? In this new episode of The Rose Woman Podcast, Christine welcomes back philosopher, environmental lawyer, and homesteader Tamlyn (Tam) M. Hunt to explore how consciousness, AI, renewable energy, and tropical panpsychism all meet in a single resonance-based view of the world. From Hawaii’s ʻāina to the AI tsunami, from back-to-the-land experiments to a “resonance model of politics,” they trace how a deeper understanding of consciousness might change the way we do policy, leadership, and love itself. Tamlyn M. Hunt applies a unique blend of expertise in different but related fields to lead discussions on big picture trends. Tamlyn's decades of work as an environmental lawyer focused on renewable energy law and policy have given him tools to frame the necessary conversations on how we can make wise changes. Coupled with his academic work in philosophy, spirituality, and cognitive science, Tamlyn explores how we can use a deeper understanding of consciousness to relate to ourselves and our world in a more beneficial way. Through his work as a writer, scholar, and speaker, Tamlyn seeks to bridge connections across the gap between science and spirit. He is co-developer of the General Resonance Theory of consciousness, with Prof. Jonathan Schooler, and has published a number of peer-reviewed articles fleshing out the details of this rigorous approach to the study of consciousness. Tamlyn is also a novelist, working on his second novel, Leilani, set on the Big Island of Hawaii where he has lived since 2016. Listen in as Christine and Tam follow the thread from “it’s all vibrations, man” to the AI reckoning, resilience politics, and ontological loveand invite you to feel how “the many become one and are increased by one” in your own life.

When a broken heart turns into a blueprint, one woman can quietly change the fate of thousands. In this episode, Christine sits down with Sister Lucy Kurien, the visionary founder of Maher (“Mother’s Home”), an interfaith, caste-free network of homes for women, children, and men in India.  Called to Serve Sister Lucy Kurien was born in 1956 in Kolayad, Kannur District, Kerala, India. After several years of formal education, at age 14 she moved to Mumbai, where she was profoundly distressed by the appalling poverty and squalor in the city. Having carried a strong inner desire for justice since childhood, she felt a deep calling to make a difference in the lives of the poor and famished around her. In 1980, she joined Sisters of the Cross, a religious order. It was a difficult decision that meant giving up the bliss of an independent and free life. After 4 years of training, she was professed to the order. The Birth of Maher Sister Lucy started Maher activities in a small home in Vadhu Budruk, near Bhima Koregaon on the Ahmednagar highway. Her tireless efforts and the work of the dedicated staff led to the expansion of Maher activities to nearby areas. These include the villages in Shirur, Haveli and Khed talukas, as well as the city of Ratnagiri, Miraj & Satara in Maharashtra. Beyond Maharashtra, Maher has established homes in Kerala, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Karnataka, Bihar and Andhra Pradesh. In 2011, unable to ignore the plight of abandoned men on the streets, Maher opened its first home for destitute, aged, and mentally challenged men. Today Maher reaches the life of the poorest of the poor through as many as 25 different outreach projects, including 672 village self-help groups and 75 interfaith, caste-free homes that currently shelter 996 children and 292 men and over 798 destitute women. Since its founding, Maher has provided care and shelter for more than 6200 children, 6,500 women, and 850 men. In this conversation, you’ll hear how Sister Lucy transforms heartbreak into practical compassion—turning love into food, shelter, education, mental health care, and long-term dignity. Press play to hear Sister Lucy’s extraordinary story and what it truly means to be “the medicine and refuge” in a hurting world—and if her work moves you, please donate to Maher. Your listening amplifies her message; your giving helps keep “Mother’s Home” open for those who have nowhere else to turn.

In a world that never turns the lights off, what happens when you willingly choose complete, uninterrupted dark?  Joining us for today’s conversation is Meghan Elfsten. She is the Director of OMYA Dark Retreats, a California Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT), and holds a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology. She is completing her Somatic Experiencing® training in September 2026 and facilitates immersive dark retreat experiences designed to support nervous system regulation, deep restoration, and inner reconnection. Rooted in Somatic Experiencing®, her work weaves mindfulness, relational awareness, and body-based practices to gently unwind patterns of trauma, addiction, and chronic overstimulation in a way that feels more womb-like than punishing. Drawing from her own life-changing time in extended darkness, Meghan became deeply devoted to the question: What becomes possible when we remove all external stimulation and finally listen to the body? At OMYA Dark Retreats, she now creates highly supported, trauma-aware containers where participants can safely turn inward, meet long-buried parts of themselves, and access deeper layers of emotional and embodied healing—without plant medicine, performance, or spiritual bypass. If you feel the pull toward the dark, Meghan is offering 20% off for our listeners at darkcaves.life with the code ROSEWOMAN at checkout.

What happens when the “perfect Christian wife” decides her life belongs to her after all? In this episode of The Rose Woman Podcast, Christine sits down with Tia Levings, New York Times bestselling author of A Well-Trained Wife and I Belong to Me: A Survivor’s Guide to Recovery and Hope after Religious Trauma. Tia writes and speaks about the realities of religious trauma, evangelical patriarchy, and the trad wife life, decoding the fundamentalist influences in our news and culture; her work and quotes have appeared in Teen Vogue, Salon, Newsweek, the Huffington Post, and the hit Amazon docu-series Shiny Happy People. Together, Christine and Tia explore how high-control religion shapes women’s bodies, marriages, motherhood, aging, and even our politics, why the trad wife aesthetic is so seductive right now, what happens when adult children step away from the faith of their families, and how to slowly rebuild a sense of self, boundaries, and spirituality on your own terms. Based in Raleigh, North Carolina, Tia is mom to four grown kids and, when she’s not writing or speaking, she loves to travel, hike, paint, and daydream. If you’ve ever felt confined by an ideology, a relationship, or a role you were told to play, this conversation offers language, validation, and a gentle map back to yourself.

Xavi Ginesta built Voxel into the world leader in B2B travel payments, then sold it to chase a different question entirely: who are we, really? In this conversation, he traces the arc from conscious capitalism to The Festival of Consciousness, from his book Humanitas with the mystic Sergi Torres to a research practice on the future of human potential. At the center is a deceptively simple claim — that the scarcity mindset sets a ceiling on everything we can become, that love is the actual driver of the universe, and that the only way past the ceiling is the inner work no decision can shortcut. Christine and Xavi move through altered states, and the limits of the senses, the brain as receiver rather than generator, a clear-eyed critique of transhumanism, and a practical invitation to let the heart lead and the mind execute. In this episode, we cover so many topics, including: (00:00:00) Introduction to Xavi: The Festival of Consciousness, Voxel and Humanitas(00:04:47) Xavi’s Business Journey And The Birth Of Voxel(00:09:11) Creating The Festival Of Consciousness And Finding Joy(00:16:13) Meeting Mystic Co‑Author Sergey Torres And Their Book “Humanitas”(00:20:31) The Question Of “Who Am I?” And Knowing What We Are Not(00:23:25) Consciousness, Reality, and Glimpses Beyond Sensory Domination(00:27:49) Expanded States, Scientific Evidence, And A Wider Aperture Of Awareness(00:29:53) Researching Human Potential And The Power Of Symbiotic Cooperation(00:34:59) How The Scarcity Mindset Limits Our Collective Purpose Frequency(00:36:35) Letting Go Of Control And Trusting Evolution Over Rational Planning(00:39:29) Embodied AI, Humanoid Robots, And Questions Of Experience(00:42:30) Brain As Receiver, Not Generator, And Emerging Scientific Evidence(00:44:05) Love As The Fundamental Nature Of Consciousness(00:49:20) Inner Transformation, Belief Systems, And The Limits Of Willpower(00:51:39) Practical Paths To Inner Work(00:58:10) Closing Reflections and Invitation Helpful links: Xavi Ginesta - Founder of Voxel and Humanitas Foundation.

Step into this one with your whole body, not just your ears. On this episode of The Rose Woman Podcast, we’re joined by someone who lives right at the crossroads of soul, sexuality, and science: Eva Clay. She isn’t here to offer cliché “tips and tricks” — she’s here to invite you into a deeper, more intelligent relationship with your own pleasure, power, and aliveness. Eva is an acclaimed somatic psychotherapist, sexologist, speaker, and founder of the Institute of Intimacy Arts. Grounded in both clinical rigor and embodied practice, her work focuses on the integration of soul, sexuality, and science. A former professor of neuropsychology, she brings a sophisticated understanding of the brain, nervous system, and human intimacy, offering a clear perspective that intelligence and eros are fundamentally intertwined. She’s guided thousands of people toward deeper embodiment, relational capacity, and access to pleasure and vitality. Rooted in somatic science and over two decades of training in classical and sexual tantra, her work invites a return to sensation, truth, and aliveness. She creates spaces where the nervous system can soften, guarded patterns can release, and satisfying intimacy can emerge. Eva has a particular passion for guiding women in the midlife portal to claim agency, power and pleasure. If you’re curious about what it really means to live erotically awake—beyond performance, beyond pathology, and beyond old stories—this conversation is for you. Listen in and let this be an invitation back to your own sensation, truth, and wild, sovereign aliveness. In this episode, we cover so many topics, including: (00:00:01) Eva Clay's Journey and Background (00:02:45) Transitioning from Pathology to Pleasure (00:09:54) The Archetype of the Witch (00:15:37) The Integrated Witch and Unintegrated Witch(00:29:53) Somatic Psychotherapy and the Witch Path (00:36:19) Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (00:39:53) Erotic Midlife Program and Upcoming Retreats (00:42:20) The Role of Sangha in Healing (00:42:53)  Final Thoughts and Resources  Helpful links: Eva Clay - Join the Erotic Midlife circle a live, virtual Community to redefine sexuality - in midlife and beyond Consultation with Eva ClayConnect with her on  Instagram @evaclay and Facebook @evaclay Your host: The Willingness Teachings on May 4 and 28, 2026Rasa: Living Inside the Mood of Beauty on May 29, 2026NEW Book by Christine: Mantra, Tantra, Ayahuasca: Ecstasy, Devotion, and the Return of the Holy Body.

What does it really mean to lead when the world feels like it’s on fire-when the news cycle, the climate, the culture, and even our own nervous systems feel stretched past capacity? In this episode of The Rose Woman Podcast, we’re asking a deeper question beneath all the conversations about performance, productivity, and “resilience”: What kind of inner life does it take to stay human, sensitive, and sane while holding responsibility for others? Since 2005, Amy Elizabeth Fox has served as one of the founders and Chief Executive Officer of Mobius Executive Leadership, a global transformational leadership firm. For the last twenty years, she has served as a leadership and culture change advisor to eminent professional services firms and Fortune 500 companies and facilitated immersive executive development programs for senior leaders.

Amy is considered an expert in healing individual, family, and collective trauma and has been a pioneer in introducing trauma-informed development and psycho-spiritual principles into leadership programs.   If you’re curious about how leadership, trauma healing, and spiritual practice can actually belong in the same sentence, you’ll want to lean into this one.

This is an invitation to remember the freedom you were born with. In this episode of the Rose Woman Podcast, we sit down with Lixuan An to explore what true freedom feels like in a real, lived body and life.  Lixuan was born in Beijing, China, and came to the US at the age of 15 to enter University. After a 20 year stellar career in marketing and tech which took her around the world, a near death experience in 2005 completely changed the course of her life. Lixuan left the business world to embark on a two-decades long intensive study of philosophy, psychology, mysticism, religion, and a myriad of healing modalities, including ancient rituals, hypnosis and plant medicine. Today she is a highly regarded art curator, public speaker, spiritual teacher and mystical healer, and has helped thousands transform their lives. With her empathy, compassion, intuition, and guidance from ancestral and cosmic realms, Lixuan helps individuals to investigate and comprehend the root causes of their sufferings and to help them remove obstacles on their path to joy, peace, fulfillment, and unconditional love and wellbeing.  Lixuan resides in Silicon Valley and in Sweden. She regularly leads transformational retreats and workshops worldwide.
