Spiritual Retreat Creator: Ruby Chapman - On Trust, Grief, and the Courage to Evolve

Ruby Chapman is a retreat space creator, energy worker, and spiritual guide based in Mudgee, Australia. Ruby has spent years navigating the edges of her comfort zone—from solo pilgrimages through the Andes to building Zensei, her wellness retreat space. In this conversation, we explore trust, presence, grief, shadow work, and what it means to surrender to something beyond our control. Expect to learn how Ruby learned to trust her intuition over her logical mind, what happened during her spiritual awakening in Peru, why solitude is one of the most powerful tools for self-discovery, how to work with your nervous system to stay present, the ancient practice of collective grief ceremonies, why your shadow is just untransmuted light, how to distinguish between surrendering and giving up, the neuroscience behind consciousness and telepathy, why we can't actually multitask, and much more. This conversation goes deep into the uncomfortable truths about spiritual growth, the power of being present, and the courage it takes to keep evolving when you can't see the path ahead   Bevan's Therpautic offerings: https://theembodiedmind.com.au/   Ruby's Retreat Space: https://www.zensiretreat.com.au/
