Mary’s teachings on conscious communication are really beautiful. Communication is such a profoundly important area of our lives where we must be conscious and intentional.

Mary is a wealth of knowledge and I’m excited for you to hear our talk.
After two decades in the study and practice of medicine, Sarah Bamford Seidelmann took a three-month sabbatical to search for a way to FEEL GOOD again. Having witnessed human suffering early in her career, and within her own family, she longed for a way to address more than just the physical needs of her patients and to live in a lighter, more conscious way. Swimming with Elephants tells the eccentric, sometimes poignant, and occasionally hilarious experience of a working mother and wife undergoing a bewildering vocational shift from physician to shamanic healer. During that tumultuous period of answering her call, she met an elephant who would become an important companion on her journey, had bones thrown for her by a shaman in South Africa, danced with sacred stones, and traveled to India for an ancient Hindu pilgrimage, where she received the blessing she had been longing for. Ultimately, she discovers an entirely different kind of healing, one that enables her to help those who are suffering in the way she had always aspired to.

She’s an internationally recognized speaker, workshop host and she offers classes, retreats and meditation groups. Rachel was raised in an “evangelical Catholic” family and received her masters in Theology at Loyola Marymount University. Her Thesis focuses on gender, religion, and justice, and includes research she conducted on the witch trials of the Early Modern Period in Germany. I’ve been wanting to do a podcast series on understanding the dynamics of feminine and masculine energy, and how we can find harmony with these energies in our lives. As both a philanthropist and Brand Architect, I’ve studied social systems, human behavior, and politics extensively. Along the way, I began to recognize the profound role of patriarchy in world history. That led me to studying the potential of matriarchy. The more I’ve studied, the more I’ve begun to believe that matriarchy may be the most viable path towards fostering a harmonious, and close to egalitarian, world. Rachel was the natural pick to guide us through this discussion. Her unique background and studies, her heart for humanity, and her empathic abilities all give her a profound ability to navigate this territory and lead our discussion. This is the first of this series. I don’t know how many we’ll do, but I believe you’ll find this first discussion quite provocative and moving. It was truly an honor to talk with Rachel about feminine energy, masculine energy, patriarchy, matriarchy, world history and where we could be heading as a society. This conversation could fundamentally alter the way you view these energies and political systems. I hope it does. Get ready for a wild journey.
