How would you fancy 10 days sat crossed-legged, meditating 10 hours a day, in silence? No phone, no journal, and no mates. Just you and your thoughts for company. Sounds like hell right? It’s got a fancy name – ‘Vipassana’ – but I like to call it the ’10 day suffer fest’. Vipassana means to ‘see reality as it is’ and in that regard, it definitely delivers. A ridiculously hard but insanely rewarding experience, Vipassana will show you things about yourself and the nature of reality that can take ...

Boom! Its a New Year and we are off to a fresh start with Inner Truth. Happy 2019! It's typically this time of year that we contemplate what has past and what will come for us over the next 12 months. All the life reflection, breakups, new romances, job searches, seem to come to fruition at this time. So I thought it would be fun to kick things off with someone who makes predictions for a profession. Tarot is something has fascinated me for years, in particular its connection to archetypal psych...

One Year No Beer and its Co-Founder Ruari Fairbairns are taking the world by storm. The 30, 90 and 365 alcohol-free challenges set by him and the OYNB platform have proved insanely successful over the last three years, with tens of thousands of completions and a 95%+ success rate at keeping people off the booze. Testimonials from participants that have completed the challenges are absolutely fire so I sat down with Ruari to talk about how they are doing it, why it’s so successful, and why going ...

Wow. What a year it's been! Incredible to think Inner Truth only launched to friends and family in January this year and now we stand at 58 episodes with tens of thousands of downloads. It's hard to believe that somehow I ended up interviewing some of my favourite artists (Nick Mulvey!), writers, and most inspiring leaders in the conscious field. Most of all its been amazing to start conversations in this area, build a wonderful audience, and connect with so many amazing souls along the journey....

Trish Whelan is one of the best and most sought after Kundalini Yoga teachers in Ibiza + most importantly, an absolutely wonderful soul!

In this conversation we dived right in to why Kundalini is such a great technology for this time (the Age of Aquarius), how it can support you, and the...

Three weeks ago on a relatively spare of the moment decision (call it divine inspiration), I smoked the venom of the Senoran Desert toad known as Bufo Alvarius . The venom contains the chemical 5-MEO-DMT, commonly considered the most powerful psychedelic in the world. Lord knows who tried it the first time (they probably had quite the shock), but when you smoke it, you experience extremely rapid ego dissolution, lose all sense of your body + mind (as you know it) and become one with the universe...

What lies beyond the world we can see with our eyes? The answer is a lot more than you might think! There is a language hidden in the world of things seen, that can help us to understand what is really going on in the world around us. Shamanism is one of the ways we can see through and integrate the physical and spiritual planes of existence. It is one of the oldest wisdom traditions known to man and having fallen temporarily onto the fringe of popular culture, it is now becoming popular again a...

Daniel Pinchbeck is a NY Times best-selling author who’s work covers psychedelics, shamanism, and most recently climate change. We talk a lot on Inner Truth about our own wellbeing and recently I’ve been thinking a lot about how our own inner lives are symmetrical with the outer world. How we treat ourselves inside is a close mirror for how we respond to events outside and also how we treat the environment. One of the people that’s been at the forefront of this kind of thinking is the incredible...

Sam Lee is a Mercury Prize nominated folk singer, song collector, award winning promoter, broadcaster, animateur, and naturalist. He's been on my radar a while because his music and events really speak to a lot of incredible tradition that can help connect us inward and discover our own story.

What ...

Nick Mulvey is someone who’s been at the top of my Spotify playlists for years now and someone I’ve followed right from his early EPs back in 2014. His debut album First Mind was an amazing release that got a Mercury Prize nomination but its his second album – Wake Up Now – released last year that really showed a big shift in his personal vulnerability and willingness to address deep issues. The album explores a lot of really profound topics on what it means to be human and what it means to be t...

Probably one of my favourite interviews. In it we talk all about how ordinary life can feel like living in the matrix and what we can do to break out of it.

Most importantly though he is just supremely committed to activating the best inside people, bringing out their light and life force.
