Ep 113: Becoming Intimate With the Void - Cristiana Rocha

Cristiana Rocha | Guide, Energy Practitioner, and Keeper of the Sacred VoidInterviewed by Sharon Clark for the Holomovement Purpose Lab
What if your purpose begins when you stop running from emptiness?
In this episode of the Awaken Your Purpose Podcast, Sharon Clark speaks with Cristiana Rocha about presence, loss, source, and the mysterious doorway that opens when we become intimate with the void.
Cristiana shares that she was never really looking for her purpose. For her, the highest purpose is to be here, to live this life fully, and to experience the gift of existence with presence. Instead of treating confusion, emptiness, or feeling lost as problems to escape, she began to see them as sacred openings into something deeper.

In this conversation, Cristiana explores what it means to become present to what is alive in the moment, even when what is alive feels like grief, uncertainty, loss, or the unknown. She speaks about becoming intimate with the void: the space before words, before purpose, before form.
For Cristiana, this void is not empty. It is origin. Womb. Source. A place where something deeper can begin to speak.
She also shares a deeply personal experience connected to reconnecting with her axial tonal lines, the energetic grid of the body, the Earth, and planetary life force. This moment changed something within her and became part of how she now understands purpose, embodiment, and the collective field.
This is a short but potent conversation about surrender, mystery, presence, and the sacred intelligence that can emerge when life removes what we thought we needed.
✦ About Cristiana Rocha ✦Cristiana Rocha is a guide and energy practitioner whose work explores presence, embodiment, energetic alignment, and the deeper intelligence that lives beneath language. Her reflections invite us to stop treating emptiness as failure and begin listening to it as a doorway.
Through her work, Cristiana helps open space for people to reconnect with the body, the Earth, and the source field that exists before words, before identity, and before the mind tries to name our purpose.🌐 Cristiana Rocha : https://www.instagram.com/cristiana_rocha_me_be_we/

Ep. 112: The Day Time Stopped - James Bolden

James Bolden | Founder of Iris Cocreative, Creative Process Facilitator & Conscious Design Strategist
What if your mind is not telling you the truth, but protecting the version of reality you have already outgrown?
In this episode of the Awaken Your Purpose Podcast, Zenka Caro sits down with James Bolden, founder of Iris Cocreative, a creative process facilitator working with conscious businesses, purpose-driven organizations, and emerging communities around the world.
James lives in the fertile in-between: design, philosophy, technology, evolution, consciousness, creativity, architecture, village building, flow, and intersubjective awareness. His work is about creating tools, systems, and design solutions that help communities see themselves, find each other, and build what wants to emerge.
This conversation moves from conscious technology and community mapping into something much deeper: identity, death, time, purpose, and liberation. James shares how a near-death experience in 2012 changed his relationship with time, surrender, and what it means to be available to something larger than the self.
Together, Zenka and James explore the mind’s strange little monarchy: how limiting narratives, inertia, and identity can masquerade as truth. They also explore the “we-space,” the intelligence between people, and what becomes possible when technology stops performing and starts serving connection.

Ep. 111: The Biggest Lie in Self Help - Adham Chalabi

Adham Chalabi | Master Coach, Researcher, Thought Leader, and Philosophy Nerd Turned Life Coach
✦ Holomovement Purpose Lab ✦
What if your purpose is not what feels good, but what tells the truth?
In this episode of the Awaken Your Purpose Podcast, Sharon Clark sits down with Adham Chalabi, a philosophy nerd turned life coach who spent years in kitchens before learning how to help people sort out their minds instead of their menus.
Adham is a master coach, researcher, and thought leader dedicated to uncovering the deeper structures of the human psyche, guiding people to set their hearts ablaze, push past their limits, and get honest enough to meet the person underneath the mask.
This conversation goes straight for the nerve. Adham challenges the idea that purpose is simply about following your bliss. Instead, he points to the places we avoid: the burnout, the breakup, the disruption, the crack in the old self. According to Adham, purpose is the ultimate expression of who you are authentically, and sometimes the doorway is not pleasure. Sometimes it is discomfort with a flashlight.
Together, Sharon and Adham explore truth, responsibility, skepticism, community, personality, procrastination, and the strange courage it takes to stop lying to yourself. This is not fluffy purpose talk. It is purpose with teeth, humor, shadow, chaos, order, and a very honest look at what happens when you finally decide to live from the real thing.

Ep. 110: Stop Looking for Your Purpose - Rachel Astarte, LMFT

Rachel Astarte, LMFT | Holistic Psychotherapist, Author, Educator, and Host of Self Talk with Rachel Astarte
 
✦ Holomovement Purpose Lab ✦
What if your purpose is not something you chase, but something you remember?
In this episode of the Awaken Your Purpose Podcast, Sharon Clark sits down with Rachel Astarte, holistic psychotherapist, transformational coach, author of Celebrating Solitude: How to Discover and Honor Your Highest Self, and host of Self Talk with Rachel Astarte.
Rachel shares how her purpose began as a childhood knowing that she was here for a reason, then grew into a lifelong devotion to helping others understand what it means to be fully human and infinite at the same time. From staring into the endless sky as a child to learning how to make big spiritual ideas accessible, Rachel brings language to the strange, sacred terrain where personal healing meets collective evolution.
This conversation explores purpose, intuition, ego, non-duality, grief, community, and the body’s inner knowing. Rachel speaks about the underdeveloped ego, the developed ego as a container for spirit, and why purpose is not always a career, achievement, or grand public mission. Sometimes it is rescuing dogs. Sometimes it is tending a garden. Sometimes it is being kind to a shopkeeper. Purpose may be less about becoming someone new and more about putting down the heavy bags and remembering who you already are.

Ep: 109: Purpose Is a Feeling, Not a Project - Dan Spinner

Dan Spinner | Founder of Biofield Awareness, executive coach, author, and former CEO of the Deepak Chopra Foundation
What if your purpose is not something you think your way into, but something your body already knows?
In this episode of the Awaken Your Purpose Podcast, Zenka Caro speaks with Dan Spinner, founder of Biofield Awareness, executive and life coach, author, former CEO of the Deepak Chopra Foundation, and senior advisor to the Esalen Institute.
Dan shares how his understanding of purpose began not as a career plan, but as a feeling. As a child, he found comfort, love, and support in trees, nature, and the living field around him. Later, through Zen, Aikido, meditation, coaching, and decades of work with organizations and leaders, he began to recognize that purpose was not only an idea. It was a somatic signal. A coherence. A quiet North Star in the body.

✦ ✦ ✦
In this conversation, Dan explores purpose as an embodied experience: the feeling of flow, renewal, connection, and deep knowing that tells us when we are aligned. He describes how forcing, pushing, and ignoring the body’s wisdom leads to exhaustion, while surrendering into what is truly calling us can bring unexpected energy and renewal.
Dan also speaks about Biofield Awareness, coherence, the energetic ripple effect of who we are, and why the tone of our being may matter even more than our words. He shares stories from childhood, his years studying Aikido, his work with nature, and his decision in his 70s to only follow what genuinely called him.
This episode is a beautiful invitation to trust your own experience, listen beneath the noise, return to stillness, and discover purpose not as pressure, but as a living current.

Ep. 108 - What If We Stopped Playing Monopoly With the Future? - Kara Stonehouse

Kara Stonehouse | Founder of Love Organized, graphic recorder, strategic facilitator, and visionary systems thinker
What if the problem isn’t that humanity is failing at the game, but that we are playing by the wrong rules?
In this episode of the Awaken Your Purpose Podcast, Zenka Caro speaks with Kara Stonehouse, creator of Love Organized, a bold vision for redesigning community, money, governance, and culture around care for the whole.
Kara describes our current economic system as a giant game of Monopoly, one that ends the same way every time because the rules are built to concentrate wealth, reward extraction, and exhaust the people trying to build a better future. Her invitation is simple and radical: flip the board. Create a new game. Build systems where cooperation, regeneration, purpose, and care become the foundation.

✦ ✦ ✦
In this conversation, Kara shares how Love Organized imagines communities 50 years into the future, asking: How do we live together? How do we finance what matters? How do we support the people doing systems-change work before they burn out? How do we create economies where care, purpose, and contribution are valued?
She also speaks about three major shifts: governance designed to care for the health of the whole, culture that helps people develop from the inside out, and money created through commitments to care for each other and the Earth.
Kara’s own purpose emerged through visioning, community spaces, mentorship, and the moment someone reflected back the power of what she was carrying. Today, Love Organized is becoming her legacy project: a living invitation to build regenerative community pods, support conscious co-creators, and create new systems of care that can scale beyond the eco-village into cities, neighborhoods, and global networks.
This is a conversation about courage, new economies, community, purpose, and the strange magic that happens when people stop asking permission to build the world they came here to create.
✦ About Kara Stonehouse ✦Kara Stonehouse is an Evolutionary Leader, TEDx speaker, ceremonialist, poet, artist, and meshworker with The Hague Center for Global Governance, Innovation and Emergence.

Ep. 107: Indigenous Wisdom Meets Quantum Science - Connie Baxter Marlow

Connie Baxter Marlow | Author, Filmmaker, Futurist, and Co-Creator of The Trust Frequency
What if trust is not a nice idea, but a frequency?
In this episode of the Awaken Your Purpose Podcast, Zenka Caro sits down with Connie Baxter Marlow, author, filmmaker, photographer, futurist, and co-author of The Trust Frequency: Ten Assumptions for a New Paradigm.
Connie shares the story of receiving the name “Eagle Woman” and the instruction to fly high and report back what she sees. From her early questions about the missing pieces in our worldview to her decades of learning from visionary Native American elders, Connie offers a fierce and tender vision of humanity’s next leap: moving from fear, possession, and separation into trust, abundance, self-love, and peace on Earth.
This conversation explores indigenous cosmology, quantum science, the holographic universe, destiny paths, shadow work, purpose, and what happens when we stop trying to survive inside an old paradigm and begin walking in absolute trust.

Ep. 106: Are We Wise Yet? The Rise of the Holo Sapiens - Andrew Cameron Bailey

Andrew Cameron Bailey | Filmmaker, Author of The Trust Frequency, and Holo Sapians: Conscious Evolution in Action
What if the next step in human evolution is not becoming smarter, but becoming kinder?
In this episode of the Awaken Your Purpose Podcast, Zenka Caro sits down with filmmaker, author, and evolutionary thinker Andrew Cameron Bailey to explore what happens when purpose stops being something we chase and starts becoming something that chases us.
From discovering Zen Buddhism as a teenager in South Africa, to the early human potential movement at Esalen, to founding the Sananda Foundation and later co-authoring The Trust Frequency with Connie Baxter Marlow, Andrew traces the winding river of a life shaped by consciousness, inquiry, and service. The conversation moves into his new book, HOLO SAPIENS: Conscious Evolution in Action, which asks whether humanity has truly become wise yet, and what it would mean to consciously choose a more evolved way of being. Andrew shares why kindness, integrity, sincerity, and coherence may be the real markers of our next evolutionary step, why wisdom without love is incomplete, and the three simple practices he offers anyone seeking their purpose: sit, breathe, remember.

Ep. 105: Stop Dimming Your Light - Diana MaAra Divine

Diana MaAra Divine | Soul Guide, Galactic Shaman, Author, and Founder of BeLight Quantum Academy
What if the life you’re living is only 70% of who you really are?
In this episode, Susan Platinsky sits down with Diana MaAra Divine, a Soul Guide, Galactic Shaman, Quantum Educator, author, oracle deck creator, and founder of BeLight Quantum Academy. Together, they explore purpose, joy, quantum creation, energetic sovereignty, light language, and what it means to stop dimming your light and finally come online as who you really are.
Diana shares how her awakening began more than 20 years ago and how her path unfolded through shamanic initiation, plant medicine, past-life remembrance, quantum healing, and a lifelong desire to help others reclaim their inner wisdom. She also opens up about living two parallel lives, one in the corporate world and one in spiritual teaching, until her book, Mastering Quantum Creation: Awaken the Phoenix Within, Manifest Your Reality and Reclaim Your Cosmic Power, helped her step more fully into her purpose.
This conversation moves from practical guidance, like “follow the joy,” to deeper questions about soul memory, light language, coherence, resistance, conscious creation, and the kind of world we could build if more people lived from purpose instead of fear.

Ep. 104: The Holomovement Effect - Mariko Pitts

Mariko Pitts | Core Synergist for the Holomovement, Event Designer, PR Strategist, and Builder of Coherent Fields
What happens when joy becomes the organizing principle?
In this episode, Zenka Caro sits down with Mariko Pitts, Core Synergist for the Holomovement, to talk about purpose, surrender, coherence, grief, service, and the strange magic that happens when the right people gather in the right field.
Mariko shares how her journey through public relations, Hollywood, crisis communications, extreme athletes, event design, and personal loss led her to a simple but powerful purpose: to embody more love on the planet and amplify it.
This conversation explores the Holomovement Wave, the power of high-frequency gatherings, and why finding your purpose may be less about forcing an answer and more about relaxing enough to hear the next right step.

Why joy is not frivolous, but a frequency that can organize your next steps
How coherent fields create synchronicity, healing, clarity, and momentum
Why the Holomovement Wave is not a standard conference, but a living field of connection, music, embodiment, collaboration, and purpose
How Mariko moved from crisis PR and corporate storytelling into service, consciousness, and event design
Why trying too hard to “find your purpose” can block the very guidance you’re seeking
How grief, especially the loss of her mother, became part of Mariko’s deepening path
Why your emotional body is a guidance system
How simple acts like breath, music, movement, grounding, or one small moment of joy can open the next doorway
