#156 | Lee Papa | The Temple of All Knowing

Author and speaker Lee Papa on a near-death experience in 2008, an ayahuasca retreat in Peru, and bringing mindfulness to the workplace. Lee is an author, international speaker, mindfulness expert, and corporate wellness strategist whose life was forever changed by the ultimate adventure: an unexpected journey to the Light during a profound near-death experience in 2008. That moment opened a doorway to deep spiritual awakening and set Lee on a path of exploring the unknown within. From a terrifying ayahuasca retreat in the Peruvian jungle, preceded by months of prophetic dreams, to mystical encounters captured in her celebrated book, Temple of All Knowing, Lee's journey weaves the supernatural with the grounded, showing us how the extraordinary is always available in daily life. Today, she channels those insights into her role as The Wellness Director™, helping corporations, leaders, and employees navigate stress, change, and uncertainty through mindfulness-based strategies, microlearning programs, and her signature Mindfulness Lounge™ experiences. - Promo Link: https://preview.mailerlite.io/preview/432108/sites/167173507607692550/reset_focus_video To learn more about Lee: https://linktr.ee/livemindfullee Chapters 0:00 Welcome Lee Papa 2:36 Reconnecting people to their humanity 5:07 Sleepwalking for decades 7:40 Ryan's trekking series 10:10 Synchronicity and Ryan's move to China 12:43 Space spending and life on Earth 15:13 Is our world older than we think? 17:51 Questioning official advice 20:25 Finding her own spirituality 23:00 A perfect storm of crises 25:31 Reiki and energy healing 28:02 Two light beings 30:38 No attachment 33:15 Calling her sister 35:48 The truest experience of her life 38:20 Revisiting the experience less and less 40:59 Hearing what others think 43:31 A new way of living 46:03 Near-death experiences go mainstream 48:37 A language for the extra senses 53:38 A novice in plant medicine 56:15 Preparing for life in the jungle 58:49 Purging 1:01:30 The ayahuasca ceremony 1:04:03 A kind doctor from Texas 1:06:40 A dose that hit hard 1:09:10 Exploring Peru 1:11:41 Are we all sensitive enough? 1:14:16 Turning to your inner world 1:16:54 Self-love before service 1:19:27 Still hopeful 1:22:05 Gregg Braden and an AI experience 1:24:35 We are like children 1:27:11 AI as a tool, not a master 1:29:46 Children raised on technology 1:32:16 Only love and no attachment 1:34:47 Loving without conditions 1:37:20 Grief without despair 1:39:57 Raising your vibration 1:42:32 Many paths 1:45:04 Coaching with spirituality 1:47:39 A 6,000-square-foot wellness centre 1:50:11 Living more in fewer years 1:52:44 Hidden messages in water 1:55:19 Ryan on reporting from China 1:57:53 Comedy and laughter 2:00:24 Seeing your own patterns 2:03:02 Ryan leaving Toronto at 22 2:05:37 Living where you don't speak the language 2:08:09 A bubble of happiness 2:10:44 Nature worship in Tibet 2:13:21 Where to find Lee The Ryan Pyle Podcast is ad-free by choice.
