The Enlighten DXB Podcast

This episode is a little different.Instead of our usual conversation, we invite you into a 30-minute sound healing journey with Jenny Dunsford, a sound and vibrational healing practitioner and Wim Hof Method instructor based in Dubai.Sound healing uses vibration and frequency to promote relaxation, calm the nervous system, and support deeper states of presence and awareness. While research continues to explore its effects, studies suggest sound-based practices may help reduce stress and activate the body's natural relaxation response.But this episode isn't really meant to be understood.It's meant to be experienced.Find a quiet space, put on your headphones, take a deep breath, and allow yourself to be guided by the sounds. After the session, Jenny joins us for a brief conversation about sound healing, vibration, and the transformative power of simply slowing down.Press play, and give yourself permission to pause.Connect with Jenny DunsfordInstagram: Come_omm_with_meSend us Fan Mail=== CONNECT WITH THE ENLIGHTEN DXB PODCAST COMMUNITY ===Check out all the shownotes, bios, and background information at: Website:   www.EnlightenDXB.comInstagram:   @EnlightenDXB  Listen on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3RAC9aX Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3KSb5Qz Watch on Youtube: https://bit.ly/3RAIS4s Special Shout out to our two soundtracks: "Shadow" - Jungle Meets Desert (EP) by Janax Pacha, Fadi Rifaai, Louay Al Awam, Sandu"Gold Tiger" - for YogaIf you're in and around Dubai (UAE) - and would like to sign-up for one of our in-person retreats in Dubai or beyond, we recommend signing up to our email newsletter.

What does it truly mean to become a man in today’s world?In this episode, Nic shares his experience with men’s work, men’s circles, vision quests, and the journey from adolescence into grounded manhood. Through years of facilitating transformational work for men — and attending the same men’s circle with the same group of men for 17 years — he reflects on the lessons that emerge through brotherhood, accountability, emotional honesty, and long-term commitment.We explore why men’s circles have become such powerful spaces for healing and personal development, how men’s and women’s circles differ, and what many boys are missing in the transition from adolescence into mature masculinity. Nic also speaks about rites of passage, authentic purpose, soul calling, and what it means to “step up” as a man in the modern world.This conversation covers modern masculinity, conscious manhood, emotional maturity, men’s mental health, personal growth, leadership, spirituality, and the importance of community and initiation in a disconnected world.If you’re interested in men’s work, masculine development, self-discovery, purpose, brotherhood, or navigating manhood with greater depth and authenticity, this episode offers grounded insights and lived experience from decades on the path.Watch this episode on videoConnect with Nic Woodthorpe-WrightInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicww1/Website: https://wwacoaching.com/Send us Fan Mail=== CONNECT WITH THE ENLIGHTEN DXB PODCAST COMMUNITY ===Check out all the shownotes, bios, and background information at: Website:   www.EnlightenDXB.comInstagram:   @EnlightenDXB  Listen on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3RAC9aX Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3KSb5Qz Watch on Youtube: https://bit.ly/3RAIS4s Special Shout out to our two soundtracks: "Shadow" - Jungle Meets Desert (EP) by Janax Pacha, Fadi Rifaai, Louay Al Awam, Sandu"Gold Tiger" - for YogaIf you're in and around Dubai (UAE) - and would like to sign-up for one of our in-person retreats in Dubai or beyond, we recommend signing up to our email newsletter.

In this episode, we explore what happens when we begin truly listening to the body and stop accepting pain, fatigue, and disconnection as “normal.” Together with Anita and Peyman from Wellnest, we unpack how modern life pulls us out of body awareness, how emotions can become stored within the body, and why physical symptoms are often meaningful signals rather than problems to suppress.The conversation dives into the role of fascia, body-based communication tools like the BEST machine, and why experiences such as loneliness, stress, and generational conditioning can show up physically. We also explore the approaches people turn to when seeking healing, and the different ways stored experiences and trauma can be addressed through movement, awareness, and integrative care.This episode offers a grounded, holistic perspective on healing beyond symptoms—inviting a deeper understanding of the body as an intelligent system designed to restore balance, resilience, and vitality when given the right supportGuests Bio: Wellnest is Dubai’s active recovery club, bringing together pain management, sports recovery, biohacking, and movement-based therapies to support whole-body wellbeing.

By combining expert-led care with science-backed practices, including the exclusive Spiral Stabilization method, Wellnest focuses on restoring balance, mobility, and long-term vitality. Its holistic approach targets key longevity pathways—strength, cellular health, lifestyle, and prevention—helping individuals heal from within and perform at their best.Wellnest’s websiteWellnest's InstagramSend us Fan Mail=== CONNECT WITH THE ENLIGHTEN DXB PODCAST COMMUNITY ===Check out all the shownotes, bios, and background information at: Website:   www.EnlightenDXB.comInstagram:   @EnlightenDXB  Listen on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3RAC9aX Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3KSb5Qz Watch on Youtube: https://bit.ly/3RAIS4s Special Shout out to our two soundtracks: "Shadow" - Jungle Meets Desert (EP) by Janax Pacha, Fadi Rifaai, Louay Al Awam, Sandu"Gold Tiger" - for YogaIf you're in and around Dubai (UAE) - and would like to sign-up for one of our in-person retreats in Dubai or beyond, we recommend signing up to our email newsletter.

Get comfy, for this extra special (meaning: extra long and extra deep) episode with Rita Hraiz (recorded at the end of 2024). We dive into the question: How do we deepen into our spiritual practice and connection, and come into alignment with our solar plexus and heart, based on ageless esoteric wisdom? When tragedy and atrocities strike, such as the wars scarring humanity in our present day, how do we strike the balance between being a vessel of love and spiritual enlightenment, and an actor on this material plane trying to do what is “right”?  We dive into everything from ageless wisdom, esoteric psychology, kundalini awakenings and its various stages, and the various traditional spiritual texts that hold some sacred keys to sacred portals. Rita also speaks about a coming Golden Age on the precipice - a great awakening to realize Shambala - a collective shift of all of humanity into a more enlightened state that we are all walking towards. Don’t miss the beautiful meditation at the end, where Rita invokes Vajra Heruka (also often referred to as Vajrahrīḥa), a powerful deity in Vajrayana Buddhism that works to remove obstacles, destroy ignorance and ego and cut through delusion. Guest Bio: Rita Hraiz is a spiritual visionary, sacred artist, and modern mystic devoted to awakening the divine feminine and guiding souls back to their truth. As a lifelong student of Ageless Wisdom and a keeper of the Shambhala flame, Rita weaves ancient teachings with modern consciousness to help others embody love, purpose, and radiant presence. Through her transformational work in color alchemy, soul mentorship, and conscious fashion, she empowers seekers to walk the path of beauty, integrity, and inner liberation. Rita is not just a teacher—she’s a mirror, a catalyst, and a voice for the rising light of a new humanity.Connect with Rita:Website: www.ritahraiz.com  Instagram: @rita_hraizSend us Fan Mail=== CONNECT WITH THE ENLIGHTEN DXB PODCAST COMMUNITY ===Check out all the shownotes, bios, and background information at: Website:   www.EnlightenDXB.comInstagram:   @EnlightenDXB  Listen on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3RAC9aX Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3KSb5Qz Watch on Youtube: https://bit.ly/3RAIS4s Special Shout out to our two soundtracks: "Shadow" - Jungle Meets Desert (EP) by Janax Pacha, Fadi Rifaai, Louay Al Awam, Sandu"Gold Tiger" - for YogaIf you're in and around Dubai (UAE) - and would like to sign-up for one of our in-person retreats in Dubai or beyond, we recommend signing up to our email newsletter.

In this special episode, I had the privilege of sitting down with the extraordinary Daniel Li Ox—a QiGong Master, ordained Zen Buddhist monk, and the visionary founder of ZenCleanz, a line of powerful fermented detoxification enzymes designed to support fasting and healing. With over five decades of exploring life as a student of ancient wisdoms, Chinese medicine, and spirituality, Daniel brings a playful yet profound perspective to the table.Our conversation was full of surprises and profound insights. Daniel’s childlike curiosity and deep humility left me utterly enchanted. He reminded me that the path of a spiritual warrior doesn’t have to be weighed down by solemnity; instead, we can walk it with light-heartedness and joy. Together, we explored themes of stagnation, personal growth, and what it means to keep the “bubbles in our champagne” alive—a metaphor for staying vibrant and connected to our passions.Daniel also shared his belief in the transformative power of grounding, and how spiritual practices can help us feel more deeply, process emotions, and transform energy in this lifetime. His insights are as practical as they are profound, delivered with his signature cheeky humor and openness.Whether you’re curious about QiGong, intrigued by the idea of fasting for healing, or simply seeking pearls of wisdom from a true seeker, this episode offers it all. Tune in for a journey through spirituality, self-discovery, and the art of staying vibrant on the winding path of life.If you'd like to try out and order ZenCleanz's enzyme kits - you can get a 5% Discount Code by entering the coupon EDXB15 at checkout.Send us Fan Mail=== CONNECT WITH THE ENLIGHTEN DXB PODCAST COMMUNITY ===Check out all the shownotes, bios, and background information at: Website:   www.EnlightenDXB.comInstagram:   @EnlightenDXB  Listen on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3RAC9aX Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3KSb5Qz Watch on Youtube: https://bit.ly/3RAIS4s Special Shout out to our two soundtracks: "Shadow" - Jungle Meets Desert (EP) by Janax Pacha, Fadi Rifaai, Louay Al Awam, Sandu"Gold Tiger" - for YogaIf you're in and around Dubai (UAE) - and would like to sign-up for one of our in-person retreats in Dubai or beyond, we recommend signing up to our email newsletter.

Nikola is a cultural transfiguration catalyst, who relishes in building values driven systems, organizations and communities at scale. In this episode, we speak into the nuances of collective trauma and ancestral trauma, and how these often intersect - especially where major societal upheavals existed, particularly in times of war. We speak into the four fundamental collective traumas - from (a) the collective trauma of splitting the spirit world from science and the material world; (b) the collective trauma of patriarchy, and creating an imbalance between the feminine and masculine sides of our nature; and (c) the collective trauma of individualism vs collectivism and the schisms this collective shift has caused in society; and finally (d) the collective trauma of separating the individual human from the (mother) Earth and Nature herself. We dive in deeper to the current realities of the Holy War being fought in Gaza today, thirteen months in - and what that conflict means from a collective trauma lens. We get vulnerable and ask the uncomfortable questions so many of us are thinking about, but perhaps haven’t dared to speak into publicly. Let’s have THAT conversation.

Pythagoras used to prescribe song and music for various ailments like depression and anxiety. But of course, ancient wisdom would prescribe us song or movement as a healing modality, wouldn't it? Erika sits down with Fadi Rifaai in this episode, who is a Singer, Actor and Writer with a particular penchant for communing with God through singing Sufi Poetry. In this episode, you will witness the power of music. Witness how one human being can become an antenna for us all to connect to Spirit, through the simple revolutionary act of emptying oneself to become a musical vessel. Get ready to feel the healing medicine found in music in this very special episode where music = liberation.Send us Fan Mail=== CONNECT WITH THE ENLIGHTEN DXB PODCAST COMMUNITY ===Check out all the shownotes, bios, and background information at: Website:   www.EnlightenDXB.comInstagram:   @EnlightenDXB  Listen on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3RAC9aX Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3KSb5Qz Watch on Youtube: https://bit.ly/3RAIS4s Special Shout out to our two soundtracks: "Shadow" - Jungle Meets Desert (EP) by Janax Pacha, Fadi Rifaai, Louay Al Awam, Sandu"Gold Tiger" - for YogaIf you're in and around Dubai (UAE) - and would like to sign-up for one of our in-person retreats in Dubai or beyond, we recommend signing up to our email newsletter.

MayBritt Searty is a Family and Systemic Constellations Therapist, a Doctor of Natural Medicine, and a psychosomatic body worker in Dubai. She describes herself as a passionate life-long explorer of alternative ways to doing things, which has led her to becoming a long-time practitioner of cranial sacral therapy, osho therapy, homeopathy, and various other modalities that helped her explore the psychosomatic aspects of illnesses. In this episode, we dive deep into the world of ancestral and generational trauma, the mother wound, and the stories that hold power in our family systems. We talk about the inevitability of traumatizing our own children and carrying traumas not just from our own parents, but often unconsciously from 7 generations that came before us. We touch on the power of healing through stillness, and through so many modalities that she’s explored over the years. MayBritt also shares so many beautiful personal stories from her own ancestry, and speaks into the various illnesses she and her family members have had to battle that she believes were the result of unresolved ancestral trauma. We also touch on the power of the land we are born in, and the power of the lands that we are called to… and also reflect on the growing healing community in Dubai, where MayBritt sees a current balancing of masculine and feminine energy in the city itself. Connect with MayBritt:IG: @maybrittseartyhttps://www.instagram.com/maybrittsearty/Send us Fan Mail=== CONNECT WITH THE ENLIGHTEN DXB PODCAST COMMUNITY ===Check out all the shownotes, bios, and background information at: Website:   www.EnlightenDXB.comInstagram:   @EnlightenDXB  Listen on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3RAC9aX Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3KSb5Qz Watch on Youtube: https://bit.ly/3RAIS4s Special Shout out to our two soundtracks: "Shadow" - Jungle Meets Desert (EP) by Janax Pacha, Fadi Rifaai, Louay Al Awam, Sandu"Gold Tiger" - for YogaIf you're in and around Dubai (UAE) - and would like to sign-up for one of our in-person retreats in Dubai or beyond, we recommend signing up to our email newsletter.

Erika sits down with one of her favorite IFS (Internal Family Systems) coaches that she's ever had the pleasure of working with, Riké John. In this episode, Erika and Riké speak into the power of walking the spiritual path and doing the work in sisterhood, shoulder to shoulder, while running a women's circle together in Dubai. They talk about the importance of empowering each other to become a Queen amongst Queens. They speak into the importance of healing the sister-wound, which requires showing up in our most vulnerable, most authentic and rawest frequencies in each others presence. They geek out on how Shadow Work, IFS Parts Work, and how Desire-Based Coaching can help us heal our darker parts, while staying focused on walking towards the light. Riké shares how she works with all of our inner children and inner parts, how they all show up differently in different people, and how unconditionally loving ourselves is always the answer. Finally, they discuss how Fear often disguises itself as Love, and how we must always be conscious to choose Love over Fear. This is a dynamite session with this Queen amongst Queens; we hope you enjoy it.Connect with Rike: IG: @lovewithrikewww.rikejohn.com Send us Fan Mail=== CONNECT WITH THE ENLIGHTEN DXB PODCAST COMMUNITY ===Check out all the shownotes, bios, and background information at: Website:   www.EnlightenDXB.comInstagram:   @EnlightenDXB  Listen on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3RAC9aX Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3KSb5Qz Watch on Youtube: https://bit.ly/3RAIS4s Special Shout out to our two soundtracks: "Shadow" - Jungle Meets Desert (EP) by Janax Pacha, Fadi Rifaai, Louay Al Awam, Sandu"Gold Tiger" - for YogaIf you're in and around Dubai (UAE) - and would like to sign-up for one of our in-person retreats in Dubai or beyond, we recommend signing up to our email newsletter.

I sit down with Roos-Veerle Krijnen, a medicine woman and coach that uses the principles of nature as her ultimate guide. I’m so grateful to have one of my dearest sisters and friends that have walked this spiritual warrior path with me to talk about everything from the power of radical honesty and meeting each other in the depths, what it means to go through a process of purification, and the lessons nature has for humanity. We feel into what it really means to listen to our bodies, and ask the question: “What if pain were here, not to be managed or silenced, but welcomed as a messenger?” We also speak into how society tends to raise more enslaved minds rather than sovereign independent thinkers, and how important it is to empower and educate ourselves. Especially at a time when dis-ease is ailing modern societies at alarming rates, and how Western and Eastern medicine take different approaches. We also speak into how different it is to do life from masculine energy vs feminine energy, and how it even has played out in our friendship… and how Shamanism and medicine journeys can help us tune deeper into ourselves and see if we are living in alignment with our dharma and life purpose. We were both so nourished by this conversation, we hope you feel the same!Connect with Roos-Veerle Krijnen: IG: @nakedtruth_guidewww.nakedtruthretreats.comSend us Fan Mail=== CONNECT WITH THE ENLIGHTEN DXB PODCAST COMMUNITY ===Check out all the shownotes, bios, and background information at: Website:   www.EnlightenDXB.comInstagram:   @EnlightenDXB  Listen on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3RAC9aX Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3KSb5Qz Watch on Youtube: https://bit.ly/3RAIS4s Special Shout out to our two soundtracks: "Shadow" - Jungle Meets Desert (EP) by Janax Pacha, Fadi Rifaai, Louay Al Awam, Sandu"Gold Tiger" - for YogaIf you're in and around Dubai (UAE) - and would like to sign-up for one of our in-person retreats in Dubai or beyond, we recommend signing up to our email newsletter.

Nathan Marcuzzi is an energy worker, bodyworker and breathwork facilitator. He travels the world to educate people on how to access and clear their energy bodies, particularly through de-armouring and what he calls full-body ecstatic experiences, which uses Kundalini energy to open the body up to greater joy and aliveness.In this episode, we speak about what it means to be a healer (and if anyone but our Self can be healers for ourselves); what’s the difference between energy work and body work; the importance of breath and energetics in healing trauma, and how we can access ecstatic experiences and/or full body energy orgasms... and perhaps most importantly, what are some of the things that get in the way of joy and pleasure. Nathan shares nuggets of wisdom throughout, as he shares some of the most profound moments on his own healing journey.From 2018 to 2025, Nathan Marcuzzi was the founder of Somagetic, an approach that included three modalities: breathwork, de-armouring, and what Nathan called the ecstatic experience (mentioned in this video as a full-body energy orgasm).Nathan has since evolved this chapter of his work.
