• Ocean Voices: A Journey into Intuitive Interspecies Communication with Dr. Lynne Shannon, Wynter Worsthorne, Eleni Gkikakis, & Christine Noble Seller

  We are often taught to see ourselves as separate from the living world — yet this separation is an illusion. As we grow into our fullness as human beings, we come into resonance with the shared intelligence of Life.  It is natural to be open to conversation with Nature and other species.In this unique two-hour webinar-workshop, the Ocean Voices team — Intuitive Interspecies Communicators collaborating with marine scientists and researchers — shares how this groundbreaking initiative began and how it is transforming the way we listen to and engage with the Ocean.During this experience, you’ll:•  Hear first-hand how Ocean Voices bridges science and intuitive communication.•  Learn the principles of Intuitive Interspecies Communication (IIC).•. Experience the H.E.A.R.T. method (Heart Energy Achieving Real Transformation).•. Be gently guided in a direct, heart-based communication with our Ocean kin.Led by Dr. Lynne Shannon, Principal Researcher and head of the Marine Sustainability Lab at the University of Cape Town, the team also includes Wynter Worsthorne, Eleni Gkikakis, and Christine Noble Seller. Their work has been shared at the Global Biodiversity Forum in Davos and within Nature’s Council, inspiring new ways of knowing and collaborating across species. This is a special meeting of science and spirit as we listen to the Ocean together.Be ready to slow down, listen deeply, and embrace your fully human self — stepping into that wider conversation and relationship with Ocean, grounded in respect, reciprocity, and wonder. Support the show

• Herring Protectors with Kh'asheechtlaa

  Among the Tlingit people of Sheet’ká Kwáan (Sitka, Alaska), the yaaw, the herring, are honored as sacred relatives. The story of Kaxátjaashaa, the Herring Rock Woman, tells how the first herring came when she sang to them with respect, laying their eggs in her hair. From this teaching, Kiks.ádi women have carried responsibilities to the yaaw for generations through ceremony, harvesting, and collective care.In this conversation, Kh’asheechtlaa – Louise Brady, of the Kiks.ádi (Raven Moiety – Frog Clan), shares stories of the yaaw, their importance to Tlingit culture and ceremony, and their place in the wider ecosystem that supports whales, birds, fish, and people. She also speaks about the founding of the Herring Protectors, an Indigenous women-led grassroots movement rooted in traditional teachings that celebrates the yaaw, challenges destructive extractive practices, and asserts a sovereign Tlingit relationship with the land and waters.We invite you to join this webinar to learn about the yaaw, the people who continue to honor them, and why protecting herring matters for the life of the Ocean and for us all. Support the show

• Whale Kinship: Stories of Love and Evolution with Pat McCabe

  Dive into the deep wisdom of Whales with Pat McCabe (Weyakpa Najin Win, Woman Stands Shining), as she shares stories of kinship, presence, and the great evolutionary teachings carried by our Ocean relatives.During her recent time with Whales in Tonga, Pat witnessed their intimate family constellations — mothers and calves, quiet escorts, and the radiant love that flows through them. Through these encounters, Whale offered profound reminders about relationship, guardianship, and the spiral of time itself.Whale invites us to see evolution not as a long, linear timeline, but as something simultaneous — a vertical movement where past, present, and future rise together, like Whale itself lifting from the depths into the light.In this special conversation, Pat shares about her experiences with Whale as elder, teacher, and kin. Through her stories and ceremonial presence, we are invited to listen more deeply, to feel the spiral of time within us, and to remember our place in the great web of life.This is a chance to sit with Whale’s medicine of love, presence, and evolution — and to let their song awaken new possibilities in our hearts.Support the show

• The Plastic Crisis & Our Interconnected Ocean with Rachel Bustamante & Tamara Adame

  Plastic pollution is one of the most urgent and far-reaching threats facing our Oceans today—touching everything from marine life to coastal communities to climate resilience. In this powerful conversation with Rachel Bustamante of Plastic Pollution Coalition and Tamara Adame, a scientific ocean diver and anti-plastics activist, we explore the multifaceted impacts of plastic on Ocean health, and the deep interconnections between pollution, policy, and our relationship with the living world.With a background in environmental policy analysis and campaign coordination, Rachel has worked to protect marine biodiversity and Ocean health at both state and global levels—including participation in the UN Global Plastics Treaty negotiations and direct advocacy with U.S. lawmakers. Her work is grounded in a commitment to justice, care, and solutions that protect people and planet.As a scuba diving instructor in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, diving in the Mexican Caribbean, Tamara started noticing a huge influx of plastics to the Ocean about eight years ago. Her own grassroots efforts at organizing Ocean cleanup - and seeing how little impact that had on the quantity of plastics in the region - led her to become an anti-plastics activist, both in her state of Quintana Roo and at the national level. Plastic bags in supermarkets have now been banned across Mexico, thanks to the efforts of many anti-plastics advocates, including Tamara.This session includes grounded insight, personal story, and tangible steps for those seeking to become more active stewards of Ocean health—whether in local watersheds or at the global level.Visit the webinar page to watch short film Mermaids Against Plastic and download a resource list with links mentioned in the webinar. To learm more about Rachel Bustamante and her work visit her here Plastic Pollution Coalition. To learn more about Tamara Adame and her work visit her website.  Support the show

• Amazon to Ocean: The Currents That Connect Us with Dr. Rosa Vásquez Espinoza

  The Amazon breathes life into the Ocean. Through airborne rivers, nutrient cycles, and unseen pathways of energy and water, these two great bodies—Forest and Ocean—are intimately intertwined.In this opening session of our Ocean Conversation Series, we are joined by Dr. Rosa Vásquez Espinoza—Peruvian chemical biologist, National Geographic Explorer, and award-winning artist. Raised between Lima and the edge of the Amazon jungle, Rosa’s work bridges Indigenous knowledge and modern science in service of biodiversity, conservation, and cultural resilience.This intimate, conversational session explores the nutrient flows between forest and sea, the role of traditional ecological knowledge in scientific understanding, and the art of storytelling as a pathway for ecological healing and reconnection.We also glimpse Rosa’s personal journey—her grandmother’s backyard “natural pharmacy,” her pioneering research on the Boiling River and medicinal stingless bees, and the global ecosystems that have shaped her vision. Her newly published book, The Spirit of the Rainforest, weaves these threads into an immersive journey through the Amazon—science, spirit, and story entwined.This is a conversation about relationship and reciprocity. A chance to listen to the waters—of land, sea, and self.Dr. Rosa Vásquez Espinoza is a Peruvian chemical biologist, National Geographic Explorer, and award-winning artist whose work bridges Indigenous knowledge and modern science to protect biodiversity and uplift rainforest communities. Founder of Amazon Research Internacional, Rosa has led groundbreaking studies on extreme ecosystems, including the Boiling River and medicinal stingless bees, while advocating for policies that honor the intrinsic value of Nature.With Andean-Amazonian roots and global research spanning from the Amazon to Yellowstone and Alaska, Rosa integrates science, storytelling, and ancestral wisdom to foster deeper connection with the living world. Her recently published book, The Spirit of the Rainforest, offers an immersive journey into Amazonian ecology, culture, and healing.Support the show
