On the show today we have conscious filmmaker, musician, mystery guide and life coach, Ben Joseph Stewart! Apart from recently working with Pete on the docu-series The Magic Plant, Ben has made many amazing and important films that explore the subjects that present themselves to him. He is a big believer in seeking the truth, following intuition and allowing the stories he tells to come to light in the most powerful way possible. Ben is also dedicated to sprinkling his films with silver linings and positive calls to action - he does not want to produce only doom and gloom!

For Ben, it is about changing the narrative and framing the conversation, on perspectives that might get overlooked or even covered up. In this episode, we hear from him about his personal journey of discovery, a bit about each of his different projects and how he has managed to stay afloat through all of life's challenges. We cover a vast array of topics, touching on the importance of sleep and dreams, staying present and mindful, and dealing with information overload.

We also unpack Ben's connection and adoration of nature and how he seeks to present natural beauty and the wisdom it has to offer us. Ben is generous enough to share some of his sacred practices around cannabis use and how he views the idea of ceremony. We finish off the chat with a meditation on the state of the world right now and some of the nefarious agendas that are coming to the surface as a result of the so-called pandemic!
