Melissa Stangl & Sylvia Bringas

In this episode, Erick sat down with Melissa Stangl and Sylvia Bringas from Soltara Healing Center to riff about the power of peak experiences, how they demand you to break your old stories, and the process of integration. They also dive into how we can balance our relationship with social media and use it as a tool for expansion. On that note, Melissa and Sylvia have co-founded an incredible online community called The Maloca. You can learn more about The Maloca below.

 

Melissa Stangl is the Co-Founder and COO of Soltara Healing Center and the Co-Founder of The Maloca. After spending years working in scientific labs and corporate offices, Melissa realized the healing and transformative potential of working responsibly with psychedelics and plant medicine. In 2015, she consciously chose to leave Corporate America and moved to live and work in the Amazon jungle. Melissa has since used her background in engineering, science, and management to help advance the plant medicine and psychedelic movements – first by helping run a top-rated ayahuasca center in Peru, and now as Founding Partner and COO for Soltara Healing Center, a Shipibo-led ayahuasca center in Costa Rica, with a focus on integration.

 

Sylvia Bringas is the Co-Founder of The Maloca. She is also a trauma-informed and initiated spiritual worker helping highly sensitive people navigate the complexities of a neurotypical world. She helps individuals reclaim their sensitivities to re-mystify their lives and live vitally alive–mind, body, and spirit. Her interests, connection, and natural aptitude in nature, art, and myths captivated her at a young age. They imprinted within her perception and felt understanding that there is more to life than what we perceive with our mind. And she is dedicated to using these skills to facilitate healing for all those courageously walking the path

David Gilbert

This week we have David Gilbert on the podcast. David is a performance and life coach that assists his clients in embodying their peak state of performance. He specializes in the use of peak states (i.e., flow) to maximize productivity and life satisfaction.

 

David also recently launched The Golden Life, an online community that applies the practices of peak performers and principles of spiritual alchemy for personal transformation. Here members develop their ability to see the treasure that lies behind our greatest pains and struggles, find accountability partners in the pursuit of optimal experience, and learn how to alchemize the power of peak states into daily life. 

 

In this episode, David and Erick break down the importance of peak states, integration, and embodying personal transformation by showing up and making change in our communities.

Hayden Mora’s Myth

This week we have my good friend Hayden Mora on the show. I met Hayden through Fit For Service and wanted to bring him on to talk about how we can contend with ideas we don’t agree with in good faith. In this episode, we lay the ground work for having difficult conversations with people we disagree with, and we walk through an example of what one of these conversations might look like.

 

A quote from Hayden’s recent article on Medium sums our conversation up perfectly…

 

“I’m not suggesting we water down our truths, if anything, I think we need to bring fuller, more nuanced, more vulnerable versions of our truth to one another. I am arguing though - that we must find ways in which we do not allow our passion and conviction for creating a more beautiful world - to be a part and parcel of a process in which we undermine the humanity of those who disagree about what that world could be.”
