Compass Conversations Podcast

<p>Children naturally operate from a place of knowing, questioning everything else but rarely questioning what they know to be true. By honoring this innate wisdom, we empower them to maintain a strong connection to their intuition. This changes our role. We shift from authority figure to facilitator of self-discovery.</p><p>The journey of reconnecting with intuition is a constant weaving and unweaving. It requires a willingness to let go of preconceived notions and embrace the unknown. By honoring and celebrating the innocence of children, we create space for them and ourselves to cultivate self-trust and intuitive awareness.</p><p>Embracing innocence involves redefining education and creating space for joyfulness. It’s about inviting children and adults alike to trust themselves and explore the world with curiosity and wonder. By doing so, we unlock new possibilities for learning, growth, and connection.</p><p>This special episode of Compass Conversations includes all of the board members for the Intuitive Learning Foundation. As they share their experiences and wisdom, we get a glimpse into the awareness, consciousness and vision that is guiding ILF. Together we are creating a space where young people, and people with decades of experience, can come together to rediscover our true nature. </p><p><br/></p><p>Podcast Participants:</p><p>Andrew Freeman - <a href="https://masterpath.coherenceeducation.org/">https://masterpath.coherenceeducation.org/</a></p><p>Michael Gordon - <a href="https://michiganross.umich.edu/faculty-research/faculty/michael-gordon">https://michiganross.umich.edu/faculty-research/faculty/michael-gordon</a></p><p>Greta Franklin Matos - <a href="https://quilaquina.com/">https://quilaquina.com/</a></p><p>Chloe Garrison - <a href="http://www.intuitivelearningfoundation.org">www.intuitivelearningfoundation.org</a></p><p>Kerri Lake - <a href="http://www.generateharmony.com">www.generateharmony.com</a> </p><p><br/><br/></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

<p>How do we build a new world together - within ourselves, for each other, and for the future? What does it look like? What does it take? What is in our hearts?</p><p>Most of us in western societies have silenced our innate sense of self and surrendered our power to cultural norms, structures, and values. This override of our natural state begins unconsciously at a very young age and continues for some of us until the end of our lives. </p><p>However, there is a growing community of people who are beginning to reawaken and ask questions like: <em>How do I bring myself back to my heart?</em> and <em>How do I peel back the layers of protection I have built over my authentic self?</em> For each one of us who accepts this challenge of rediscovery, we collectively become better, higher, and more coherent. But it’s work - amazing, painful, beautiful work.</p><p>But what if we never left ourselves at all? We have the opportunity to offer this remembrance to our children. They still carry their innate wisdom and untarnished intuition. One of the most profound gifts we can offer future generations is a way to stay rooted in themselves — tools that help them recognize the illusion of disconnection and separation. </p><p>Instead of molding them to fit into a societal box, we can invite them to turn inward — to feel what they truly want to create, to honor what is uniquely theirs to bring into the world. </p><p>These transcendent conversations open space for new ways of being. Today’s discussion reveals possibilities for building a world aligned with who we truly are and offers a refreshing sense of hope that such a world is not only imaginable, but within reach.</p><p><b>Podcast Participants:</b></p><p>Amy Budd - <a href="http://www.wholeheartranch.com">www.wholeheartranch.com</a></p><p>Leila Angod - <a href="https://carleton.ca/iis/people/leila-angod/">https://carleton.ca/iis/people/leila-angod/</a></p><p>Clare Morris - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100095790481853">https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100095790481853</a></p><p>Shea Stewart - <a href="http://www.equinebalance.net">www.equinebalance.net</a></p><p>Drew Freeman - <a href="http://www.coherenceeducation.com">www.coherenceeducation.com</a></p><p>Kerri Lake - <a href="http://www.generateharmony.com">www.generateharmony.com</a></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

<p>At some point along the way, many of us come to a point where we ask ourselves, <em>who am I?</em> Who am I really, under all the layers of protection I’ve built - who is under there? Why do I do what I do? Where does my inspiration come from, and what along my path is guiding me toward that awareness. And why horses? For many of us, horses are the ones who guide us into this journey of self inquiry</p><p>Most of us are so far removed from our own being that life feels foggy and confusing and hard. In this episode, we dive deeply into exploring the essence of who we are, what gifts we bring to the world, and how horses help us find our way. When we are quiet enough to listen, bold enough to be authentic, and open enough to connect, we rediscover our place as part of the whole - we find harmony. Life becomes more simple, more clear. Even when challenges and obstacles arise, we can soften our grip on the reins, trusting that life is always working in our favor.</p><p><b>Podcast Participants</b></p><p>Stephanie Revennaugh - <a href="https://www.stephanierevennaughfineart.com/">www.stephanierevennaugh.com</a></p><p>Carla Bauchmuller - <a href="http://www.theintuitiverider.com">www.theintuitiverider.com</a></p><p>Suzi Cloutier - <a href="http://www.zebswish.org">www.zebswish.org</a></p><p>Matthias Geisen - <a href="http://www.matthiasgeysen.com">www.matthiasgeysen.com</a></p><p>Terry Kuebler - <a href="http://www.terrykuebler.com">www.terrykuebler.com</a></p><p>Kerri Lake - <a href="http://www.generateharmony.com">www.generateharmony.com</a> </p><p><br/></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

<p>In her book, <em>The Tao of Equus</em>, author Linda Kohanov shares her personal journey, revealing that it wasn’t until she fully embraced the wisdom of the horse that she finally felt comfortable being human. With this revelation as a springboard, Episode 22 weaves together, strand by strand, a beautiful story of what it means to be human.<br/><br/>As humans, each of us has the innate capacity to sense truth. In the absence of conflict or resistance, the doorway to wisdom, clarity, and the next possibility opens, and an ancient, lost language re-awakens within us. But somewhere along the line, we forgot.<br/><br/>Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of years ago, our ancestors began building societies. Alongside these advancements came rules and structures that gradually confined humans within societal &quot;boxes,&quot; dictating what is considered “right” and “normal.” And eventually, we also began creating our own individual boxes, layering them one within another and burying our true selves beneath countless layers of confinement. <br/><br/>Horses, on the other hand, do not recognize boxes. They see straight through the layers of “stuff” we have accumulated and reveal to us the truth: there are no boxes. They guide us into awareness of how deeply we have sheltered ourselves <em>from</em> ourselves. We are then left with the work of shedding the layers and uncovering our authenticity, as well as supporting others on their own journeys of self-reclamation. Horses have generously agreed to be our guides on this journey, to walk us home, if we let them.<br/><b><br/>Podcast Participants:</b><br/><br/>Will Brown - <a href="https://palmandlotus.com/">https://palmandlotus.com/</a> <br/>Jillian Kreinbring - <a href="http://www.jilliankreinbringinspired.com/">www.jilliankreinbringinspired.com</a><br/>Gray Kyle Graves - <a href="http://www.wholehearthorsemanship.com/">www.wholehearthorsemanship.com</a><br/>Leanne Haight - <a href="http://www.facebook.com/leanne.haight">www.facebook.com/leanne.haight</a><br/>Chris Adderson - <a href="http://www.forthehorse.com/">www.forthehorse.com</a><br/>Kerri Lake - <a href="http://www.generationofharmony.com">www.generationofharmony.com</a></p><p><br/><br/></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

<p>Consider, for a moment, what it might be like to be truly competitive, but without a combative edge or drive to dominate. Is it possible? <br/><br/>Competition can give us so many great things: community, physical and mental challenges, and goal posts by which to measure our progress - it can bring out our best and showcase our preparation, dedication, and talent. The darker side of competition is when we are motivated by comparison, rather than inspiration, causing us to turn against our fellow competitors, our horses, and even ourselves. How many of us can strive for high levels of excellence while maintaining a positive, emotionally balanced energetic space? And how many of us can do it with the eager, focused engagement of our equine partners as well?<br/><br/>When we have a clear sense of self, our values, and our purpose, we come to realize that competition is rarely about others; it’s about our personal journey, our commitment to growth, and remaining in integrity, regardless of external circumstances. Competition becomes a test of character - a pursuit of goals, not rivals.<br/><br/>Podcast Participants:<br/><br/><a href="http://www.equinebalance.net">Shea Stewar</a>t<br/><a href="https://www.copperlineequestrian.com/tik-maynard">Tik Maynard</a><br/><a href="https://www.facebook.com/jessica.whiteplume.5">Jessica White Plume</a><br/><a href="https://dauphinhorsemanship.com/">Daniel Dauphin</a><br/><a href="http://www.barbraschulte.com">Barbara Schulte</a><br/><a href="http://www.generationofharmony.com">Kerri Lake </a></p><p><br/><br/></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
