Living Goddess with Chameli Gad Ardagh

Chameli sits down with Ellen Dee Davidson, author of Sacred Forest Bathing, to explore the ancient art of listening to the trees. With decades of practice in sitting, listening, and communing with the forest, Ellen shares her lived experience of how trees speak to us, through presence, sensation, and subtle messages. Together, they explore how each of us can enter into a more intimate relationship with the natural world, learning to receive the guidance, healing, and companionship that trees so generously offer. This is your invitation to slow down, tune in, and discover how the forest can become a teacher, ally, and sanctuary.   To learn more about Ellen and her book Sacred Forest Bathing: www.ellendeedavidson.com   Events with Chameli: Awakeningwomen.com/events Submit your questions and suggestions to [email protected] Follow Awakening Women on Instagram This podcast is produced by Shann Vander Leek.

In this intimate conversation, Chameli sits with her dear sister Kim Rose Keller, a Sex and Intimacy Coach whose life and work have been devoted to love and the beauty of human connection. Together they explore the landscapes of intimacy, grief, and the gift of community, and what begins to matter most when the illusion of “later” falls away. Kim speaks with exquisite honesty about her journey of living with a terminal cancer diagnosis, and how this encounter with mortality has opened her even more fully to life, to pleasure, to humor, to friendship, and to the sacredness of every ordinary day. This is not only a conversation about dying, but about living with nothing held back, about the courage to stay open to the full range of feelings, to keep loving, and to find grace in the mystery that holds us all.

Chameli shares an update on where she is in her life and practice, about being in a season of ebbing, energy turning inward, about shedding and slowing down. She speaks about the courage it takes to become honest, to listen deeply, and to center the desire of the soul. What happens when we create space for simple beingness? Is it selfish to honor what the soul longs for, or is it, in truth, an act of service to our collective healing in its deepest sense?

Like a pre-programmed car radio automatically playing the same handful of familiar stations, we tend to run on repeat a few familiar, but not always beneficial, thought loops and habitual activities. Chameli shares how the animals she lives with help her in her practice of cultivating senses below the senses, which allows for a more fine-tuned ability to perceive the often subtle signals from the soul.   Events with Chameli: Awakeningwomen.com/events Submit your questions and suggestions to [email protected] Follow Awakening Women on Instagram This podcast is produced by Shann Vander Leek.

Chameli shares a different way of setting intentions for the new year, and every day, by asking ourselves the question: what is essential? She tells the story of Shiva and the Dasha MahaVidyas (Ten Wisdom Goddesses), a story reminding us that trying to escape parts of ourselves, and clinging to others, will keep us stuck in the realm of appearances and disconnected from the union at the Source of all forms.
