  Ep. 120: Build From Your Why - Jason Sander

  Aug 17, 202630 min

  Jason Sander | Land Steward, Community Architect, Educator, and Founder of Project Nomad What if your why could change the room? In this episode of the Awaken Your Purpose Podcast, Zenka Caro speaks with Jason Sander, a teacher, land steward, community architect, and new Sedona resident whose work focuses on creating spaces where people feel safe, present, connected, and free to make mistakes. Jason shares how his early years as a teacher helped him understand that purpose is not only about what we do. It is about why we do it. Whether in a classroom, a café, a campground, a community project, or a conversation, Jason believes the intention behind the space changes what becomes possible inside it. ✦ Holomovement Purpose Lab ✦ Search the archives: https://www.holomovement.net/purpose Take the quiz + find your stage: https://www.lightnet.org/purpose/quiz Found your purpose?

He shares lessons from teaching, experiential learning, land stewardship, hospitality, and his former project Nomad Cafe and Campground in Kanab, Utah. For Jason, spaces are never just spaces. They are conditions for presence, connection, learning, healing, and community. Jason also speaks about Project Nomad, his emerging work in Sedona to connect people already doing good work, build community from the bottom up, and create conscious events rooted in collaboration rather than competition. This episode is about purpose, presence, community, safe spaces, land stewardship, collaboration, and the simple but radical practice of knowing why you are in the room. ✦ About Jason Sander ✦ Jason Sander is a land steward, community architect, educator, and founder of Project Nomad.

  AYP 119: Crew Members of Spaceship Earth - Frank White

  Aug 10, 202653 min

  Frank White | Author of The Overview Effect and Space Philosopher What if we stopped seeing ourselves as passengers—and remembered that we are all crew members of Spaceship Earth? Frank White coined the term “the Overview Effect” to describe the profound shift in awareness astronauts often experience when they see Earth from space: one interconnected living system without visible borders or boundaries. In this episode, interviewed by Yasmine El Baggari, Frank shares the moment that inspired his groundbreaking work, what he learned from interviewing astronauts, and why it took decades for his vision to reach a worldwide audience. Together, they explore purpose, persistence, borders, environmental responsibility, space travel, and the expanded perspective humanity may need to address our greatest challenges. Frank also shares the movement to send him to space—and why living your purpose may inspire others to discover their own. We are not passengers on this planet. We are crew members—and every crew member has a role.

  Jul 27, 202641 min

  Jerome Martin | Metaphysical Practitioner, and Founder of Light Body Bootcamp, ET Contactee What if the light body is not a metaphor, but a real part of who we are? In this episode of the Awaken Your Purpose Podcast, Sharon Clark speaks with Jerome Martin III, an ET contactee, metaphysical practitioner, and founder of Light Body Bootcamp. Jerome shares how a series of extraterrestrial contact experiences changed the direction of his life, taking him from construction work into the development of a training system for consciousness. Through these experiences, Jerome says he learned practical methods for strengthening the light body, deepening higher self connection, cultivating intuitive abilities, and helping others access expanded states of awareness. ✦ Holomovement Purpose Lab ✦ Search the archives: https://www.holomovement.net/purpose Take the quiz + find your stage: https://www.lightnet.org/purpose/quiz Found your purpose?

He also shares how his purpose unfolded in phases. What began as one-on-one training became Light Body Bootcamp, a community and system designed to help people strengthen their light body, connect with their higher self, and activate intuitive faculties that Jerome believes are already built into human nature. Jerome also discusses altered states of consciousness, brainwave shifts, ET contact, psychic abilities, the body as a doorway, and the difference between intuition and higher self guidance. His central message is that humans are more capable than we have been taught to believe. This episode is about consciousness training, spiritual evolution, purpose, contact, inner guidance, and learning to trust the abilities that may have been waiting inside you all along. ✦ About Jerome Martin ✦ Jerome Martin is an ET contactee, metaphysical practitioner, and founder of Light Body Bootcamp. Through classes, workshops, and online training, he guides people through practical methods for strengthening the light body, deepening higher self connection, cultivating intuitive abilities, and supporting conscious evolution.

  Ep. 116: Sedona’s Secret Library of Future Science - Gisele Bonefant

  Jul 20, 20261h 3m

  Gisele Bonenfant | Healer, Archivist, and Keeper of the Patrick Flanagan Library What if the future has already been invented, but is sitting quietly in boxes, books, and forgotten archives? In this episode of the Awaken Your Purpose Podcast, Zenka Caro speaks with Gisele Bonenfant, a Sedona-based practitioner, archivist, and guardian of the Patrick Flanagan Library. Gisele shares her extraordinary journey from working in a Boston law firm to becoming the caretaker of rare books, future-facing scientific ideas, and a powerful Vogel crystal photonic healing technology known as the Crystal Photonic Triangulation Unit. Her story is a living breadcrumb trail of intuition, humor, service, and saying yes when every cell in the body lights up. ✦ Holomovement Purpose Lab ✦ Search the archives: https://www.holomovement.net/purpose Take the quiz + find your stage: https://www.lightnet.org/purpose/quiz Found your purpose? Add your data + insights: https://www.lightnet.org/labs/purpose?view=my-map Browse the research, books, tools + resources: https://www.lightnet.org/labs/purpose ✦ ✦ ✦ In this conversation, Gisele speaks about her role as archivist for the Patrick Flanagan Library, a collection connected to the life and work of inventor, scientist, and futurist Patrick Flanagan. She describes the library as a kind of vortex where researchers, inventors, and seekers encounter ideas that may have been decades ahead of their time. She also shares her vision for preserving and expanding access to these materials, including the dream of scanning rare books and documents so that the knowledge does not remain hidden in Sedona, but can reach people around the world. Gisele also introduces the Crystal Laser Bed, a rare Vogel crystal photonic triangulation unit that works with crystal, color, light, and sound. She describes it as a 21st-century version of ancient healing technologies that once used crystalline caves, sunlight, moonlight, minerals, and sound for restoration and alignment. At the heart of this episode is a deeper question: How do we know when something is truly ours to follow? For Gisele, the answer lives in the body. When the cells light up, when the heart knows, when the inner GPS says yes even before the mind understands, that is the breadcrumb. This episode is about future science, sacred archives, the body’s intelligence, Patrick Flanagan, Sedona, humor, courage, and the strange beauty of following the path that makes no logical sense until it becomes your life. ✦ About Gisele Bonenfant ✦ Gisele Bonenfant is a Sedona-based archivist, practitioner, and caretaker of the Patrick Flanagan Library. A lifelong lover of books and research, she began by cataloging thousands of Patrick Flanagan’s books and helped bring the library into public form so the knowledge could be shared rather than returned to boxes. She is also a practitioner of the Crystal Laser Bed, a rare Vogel crystal photonic technology that works with crystal, color, light, sound, intuition, and the body’s subtle intelligence. Her work lives at the meeting point of spirituality, science, humor, energetic healing, and the preservation of knowledge that may help shape the future. ✦ Guest Links ✦ Patrick Flanagan Library: https://patrickflanaganlibrary.com Crystal Laser Bed: crystallaserbed@gmail.com ✦ Interviewer & Host ✦ Zenka Caro is the founder of LightNet and the Holomovement Purpose Lab.
