New Orleans' Seán Johnson & The Wild Lotus Band create a universal style of cross-cultural spiritual music filtered through the depth, sincerity, and soul of their own American and ancestral roots. Their music merges conscious lyrics, sacred chants from the spiritual traditions of yoga and beyond, and roots, rock, gospel, and global grooves. They are known for creating interactive, soul-stirring songs to dance and sing along with as well as to grieve and heal.
In 2005, Seán founded the band as a post-hurricane Katrina philanthropic music project, raising funds across the country for relief from the devastation of the storm. The theme of searching for grace and inspiration amidst challenge and destruction has permeated their music ever since. In 2007, they released their first album, ‘Calling The Spirits’ which caught the ears of pioneering Canadian record producer Terry McBride, founder of Nettwerk Records and Lilith Fair. McBride signed the band to Nettwerk for the release of their follow-up album, ‘Devaloka.’ When Putumayo World Music founder, Dan Storper heard ‘Devaloka,’ he chose music off the record to be featured on Putumayo’s first compilation of music designed for yoga. Inclusion on three Putumayo albums has helped propel the band’s music to listeners across the globe. Their last album ‘Unity’ debuted #1 on the iTunes World Music Chart and #3 on Billboard. Their upcoming album ‘Mystery’ will be released on October 29th on Be Still Records. They are a favorite headliner at conscious music festivals across the U.S. and have played The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival on multiple occasions.
In addition to being a musician, Seán is also a respected yoga teacher and teacher trainer who teaches at conferences and retreat centers internationally including Yoga Journal, Kripalu, Bhakti Fest, and The German Yoga Conference. He is the founder of Wild Lotus Yoga in his beloved hometown dubbed "New Orleans' Home for Heart-Centered Yoga," and Soul School, an interdisciplinary yoga teacher training program that focuses on teaching yoga with skill, heart, and imagination that he guides with Mitchel Bleier. He has a Master’s degree from The Naropa Institute-Oakland with focus on teaching chant as spiritual practice, apprenticing there with south Indian musician and teacher Russill Paul, author of 'The Yoga Of Sound.' He is the co-curator and coordinator of Putumayo World Music’s yoga music series. Seán is passionate about his Irish roots and ancestry, a pillar of his spirituality. He co-leads online Celtic Spirituality gatherings and retreats in Ireland each year with his friend, Ireland native Mary Meighan, founder of Celtic Journeys.
In all these roles, Seán relishes creating a playful, tender, brave space for people to open their hearts and voices, and embrace their innate creativity.

In this episode of Inspired Artist Podcast, I welcome authors Stephen Webber and Katherine Plant for a discussion around the a near-death experience (NDE) and the afterlife.
A description of the book: If you are grieving from a heartbreaking loss of a loved one, this book may help you find peace. If you are wondering if all you see here on earth is all that is, this book may bring some insight to your thoughts. If you are a person who believes in the infinite spirit inside each of us, this book may be an affirmation of all that you hold sacred. After an accident leaves a loving father in a coma, on the verge of life and death, he travels to another place. On the outside, he was in a hospital bed; but, on the inside he was in a place he calls, “The Place Between Here and There.” It was a place where time did not exist, where people were spirits and bliss is achieved through understanding.
• Everyone and everything have a spirit.
• Your higher self is always in spirit and is guiding you.
• All spirits are connected and form the one universal consciousness.
• Your consciousness grows from both good and bad experiences.
• You can connect and communicate with those in spirit.
• Signs and synchronicities are your connection to spirt.
This book details his journey to this wondrous place, then back to earth, where he must rehabilitate from grave injuries, only to then experience the worst tragedy a parent can imagine. With the help of a soul connection from the higher realms, he finds his way back to the peace and bliss he learned from The Place Between Here and There.

In this LONG-awaited episode I welcome GuruNischan to the podcast. GuruNishan grew up in 3HO (the Kundalini Yoga community started by Harbhajan Puri, aka "Yogi Bhajan"). She is now hosting her own amazing podcast called "Uncomfortable Conversation: The Untold Stories of the 3HO Kundalini Yoga Community." This is the vivacious bio from her website https://www.gurunischan.com||
"My name is GuruNischan. (I didn't make that up:) But I'm NOT your GURU.
I'm a Soul Provocateur. An Alchemist. A Breath Trainer. A Teacher of the sensory system. I will seduce you into experiencing more of your innate capacity to live in conscious attention.
I AM here to facilitate you becoming your own best authority of your Mind, Body & Spirit, aka, your human psycho-somatic experience.
WTF does that mean?
- It means that you're designed more powerfully than you've been led to believe.
- You're designed more powerfully than a high performance sports car.
- You're the most sophisticated "computer" functioning on the planet.
- You're seriously, IT!"

Arjuna O’Neal grew up on 7 Mile on Detroit’s Eastside, surrounded by poverty and trauma. The son of a drug dealer, he was exposed to gang culture as a child and the violent lifestyle that came with it. Arjuna was only 15 when he started selling drugs himself and was running his own operation by age 17. But everything changed one fateful day when a bullet nearly took his life, and in that moment Arjuna was confronted by every choice he’d ever made. He realized then, he had only two options to survive; to allow the cycle of violence and hopelessness that led to this moment continue, or to change everything. The bullet had severed his femoral artery and left Arjuna paralyzed for over a year. During his long recovery, Arjuna discovered a personal relationship with God, the power of yoga to strengthen his body, and the benefits of meditation to regain control of his mind. After fully recovering, he went back to school and earned an Associate of Arts in Business, a Bachelor of Science in International Business, and a Master of Business Administration. Additionally, Arjuna expanded his yoga studies and became an E-RYT 500 Yoga Alliance certified instructor. As Arjuna transcended the trauma of his early life, he was able to recognize the spiral of self-destruction of his friends and neighbors. His near-death experience fostered a newfound calling to help others before it was too late. It was this inner calling and second chance at life that inspired Arjuna to create Share Necessities, an organization dedicated to improving communities by empowering the young people within them. As a father and an example to his own children, Arjuna is determined to help every young person he encounters to create their own healthy life, bright future, and the peace of mind that everyone deserves.
