For this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Hosshin, a yoga teacher with over three decades of spiritual exploration. He shared his journey of retreating from modern life to live in the Scottish wilderness, where he is building a personal sanctuary for deeper spiritual work. We delved into his belief that the heart acts as a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms, and how this connection brings clarity and healing in a world that often feels fractured. Throughout our conversation, Hosshin spoke about his experiences growing up with unusual psychic phenomena, his decision to leave the hustle of city life, and the slow, intentional path that led him to the remote life he leads now. He also reflected on how larger events, like COVID, were a culmination of generational karma, and how we, as individuals, can navigate this through spiritual practice and inner work. This is a discussion about finding meaning in chaos, seeking sovereignty, and discovering how our inner lives can shape the world we live in.
