Archaic DrumAuthor: James Benton
The Archaic Drum Podcast hosted by James Benton, enters into conversation with various visionaries, teachers and free thinkers discussing a variety of topics which are oriented towards creating personal and global transformation. We hope that through these discussions to arrive at a deeper understanding into the nature of positive change by drawing on the wisdom and teachings of those who have committed their lives in their own unique ways to making a difference in the world. The topics in discussion will include, but not limited to, indigenous wisdom teachings, the use of plant medicines, particularly the psychedelic "entheogens" that are rapidly being discovered to be powerful tools for healing and personal/global transformation. We also take a look at non-psychedelic shamanic techniques and other transformational methodologies and practices. We are as well in conversation with various teachers from other traditions such as Buddhism, Taoism, the non-dual community, etc. Many of us are finding ourselves being faced with various challenges both internally and externally as we each try to discover our place and purpose amongst the vast changes that are now emerging. Here, we will be discovering ways to soar beyond these challenges in a way that is both empowering and liberating. We must at last recognize that we are not bound or limited by external conditions. Our method of transforming the whole begins within, realizing that we must find a clear and stable center in order to engender any truly meaningful change for ourselves or the world.

AD 036 Jeffrey Wium
Wednesday, 30 November, 2016
Jeffrey Wium’s work, studies and spiritual explorations have taken him around the world, providing firsthand experience with varying systems, ideologies and perceptual realities. In 1995, after ten years of intensive production schedules, location travel and living in metropolitan centers, Jeffrey moved to quieter environs to nurture a path of inner study. After an indepth study of Qigong in both the States and in China, he sought a deeper understanding in Tibet, Nepal and India, and received the Avaloketesvara initiation directly from the the Dalai Lama during his time in these regions of the world. He has trained and worked with a variety of healing/transformative modalities which have included, meditation, yoga, bio-geometric design, wilderness living skills and indigenous philosophy. Jeffrey began his education in Andean energy medicine in 2004 with academic programs and research expeditions as well as traditional apprenticeships in the Peruvian highlands. He has operated as a celestial Paqo since January 2007. Jeffrey offers talks, integrative programs, personal and professional consultations and health-centered retreats based on conscious living principles, experiential learning and non-duality. His astonishing film, Wisdomkeepers, Paqo Andino, he states, was created as a way to allow others to experience ancient eco-spiritual ways of life, understand animistic consciousness and help foster personal and collective well-being.
