Friends from Wild Places
Business Owner Professionals and entrepreneurs from all over the world come to speak to me and tell me why they do what they do and their vision. I feature a Non-profit Org to spread awareness.

Tales from the wild, stories from the heart. A journey into the mind and soul of fired up business professionals, where they share their vision for the future and hear from a different non-profit organisation every month as they create awareness of their goals and their needs. Dive into a world of untamed passion as we join our host, Shireen Botha, for this month's episode of Friends from Wild Places.
Shireen Botha:I really appreciate you talking about the repeated pattern, because I think a lot of us we recognize there's a repeated pattern, but I know for myself that I recognize there's a repeated pattern, but I know for myself that that, um, I I recognize there's a repeated pattern, but I run away from it because I don't. I know the pain that comes with that repeated pattern, so I just want to avoid it completely, instead of doing what you're doing and actually dealing with it, so that I can't one, one thing I don't want to know.
Joseph Drumheller:This isn't you, this is everybody. But if you avoid the pain, it will continue to repeat.
Joseph Drumheller:That's it it will continue to repeat. So it takes courage and it takes a certain amount of awareness to realize that, yes, I have a repeating pattern. There's a suppressed emotion that goes with it that needs to be healed, and so it's. So it's very, very easy. I don't want to use you an example, but I can, if you want, for just a sec. So imagine yourself being in that situation that that makes you want to run away. So just imagine that you're in that just for a moment. You don't have to just think about it. And so what's going to happen is that you're going to feel a certain feeling, and you're going to feel it somewhere in your body. So if you could feel that feeling and put one or two words on it, what would you call it?
Shireen Botha:jeez, I don't even think that there's a word strong enough to what the feeling is okay, so we'll just call it a strong feeling.
Joseph Drumheller:How's that? Yeah that's okay. So where do you feel that in your body?
Shireen Botha:oh, in my gut like right.
Joseph Drumheller:Yeah, like it's me right okay so if we're talking spiritually, we'd be okay. It's it's that the suppressed emotion is in your third chakra, which is your chakra of power and control. And so if I was to work with you at the hypnotherapy session, that's all I would need to do for our first session, and we wouldn't have to go relive your past or anything like that. But we could go into, take you into a relaxed state, lower the critical faculty of the mind, open you up to where you experience that overwhelming feeling in your gut and simply let it go through different techniques. So I wouldn't have to know anything about you, I wouldn't have to know your history or anything, and you could start to be, and you within three days.
Joseph Drumheller:I send people a follow-up sheet where they can tick off the results to see the results immediately afterwards, because if the session session was effective, you'll start to see the shifts immediately after the session, within the first, maybe within the first three days, for sure, and then and then at that point you could continue if you want to go off, and then we get like deeper and deeper as we go. But everyone has some, has core issues to deal with, but also no one has that many, we just have a few, you know, and so um. So when you get into the healing part of things, you can experience, um, some very accelerated growth over a short period of time, and usually when people uh, get healing, help and healing, it's when they're ready, so you don't have to like worry about, do I need this stuff? No, it's like when the issues come up, that's when it's time to deal with it.
Tanya Scotece:Okay, amazing, amazing. Do you do it virtually to like people can?
Joseph Drumheller:work on zoom and I do groups and you know all sorts of stuff.
Shireen Botha:So would it be powerful in person?
Joseph Drumheller:Yes, yeah, absolutely, but it's very, very effective. On Zoom also, because what we're doing is that we're going into your subconscious mind. I don't need to be there, you know. So, like on my video courses, I have people watching. I mean, like for six years, people watch like 10,000 minutes of my videos a month. It's like so I'm out there, like continually spinning in space and I don't know if I'm helping anyone or not. It's so weird, you know so. But yes, you can do it virtually, you can do it with online courses. It's the most effective way is to do it in person, because that's when we can actually get into the hands on healing part of it. That's what brings in the energy healing component. I can do that at a distance as well, but it's, you know, it takes it up a notch in person yeah, my goodness, um joseph, you've written a book, right?
Shireen Botha:can we? Can you talk a little bit more about that as well?
Joseph Drumheller:actually I've published five so far.
Shireen Botha:I've written five, four here's my question what is the one book that's impacted your life the most, and could you talk about that one a little bit more?
Joseph Drumheller:absolutely. Jason and the carotid king. It's a children's picture book, so there's a story behind.
Joseph Drumheller:In 2015, I was struggling financially you know which us healers tend to do and I was really down in the dumps. And a friend of mine said hey, let's go for a backpacking trip into Glacier National Park in the United States. And so we went for a four-day hiking trip. We climbed mountains, saw grizzly bears, and I was really, really depressed going into this trip and I had these experiences with animals that were just crazy. So this was part of my spiritual connection with nature. And so the first day before we left, we were at a car campground at this lake before we'd take off into the trail, and so I just went walking with my flip flops on just down this creek, you know, ankle deep, feeling really depressed, and I heard this noise in the bush and I thought, oh my God, it's a grizzly bear and it was a squirrel. And the squirrel runs up, this tree, hangs over this limb, is about 10 or 15 feet ahead of me and I'm standing in this creek and it starts chattering at me like crazy and I asked it can you please help me deal with this pain and release the pain? I asked it out loud. It runs down this tree, runs down this log and runs up this other log and it's like two feet away from me and it jumps on me. I couldn't believe it. And so that was the beginning of our trip, and so it was really smoky during this trip.
Joseph Drumheller:This is a very symbolic trip. We get up to this pass, the temperature drops 20 degrees, the wind blows and it starts snowing, and this is in august, in the middle of summer, and so we get buried in snow. But the next day we wake up and it's beautifully clear. So it's like it was a symbolic thing that, like all this stuff has got cleared out. So I come back from that trip at the end of the week this is part of, so I'm all charged up with nature, I'm in a great mood and I'm whitewater kayaking the next week, and, and as I'm pulling my boat out of the water, I see this thing in the water and it looked like this dead little creature, and so I picked it up and it was a crawdad or a crayfish, whatever you want to call them, tangled up in fishing line, and so I meticulously unwound it, threw it back in the water, it took off. And then I went home and my wife that night said you know, that'd make a really great children's story. And so I wrote Jason and the Karate King the next day at a coffee shop on a napkin.
Joseph Drumheller:And then the magical part of it came afterwards when I connected with this illustrator named Lily Avakum. She's born in Tehran, iran, and we worked for eight months on this book and it was just absolutely a magical, magical experience. It was great from beginning to the end. And this the story is um, this kid goes down a boat, finds a crawdad, pulls it out of the water and for his saving this king's life, he goes underground or underwater in his dreams at night and he turns him into an artist afterwards. So I don't know. So that's my. That was like such a magical story and Lily and I still have a pretty good connection to it. So it was great.
Shireen Botha:That's such a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing, joseph. Yeah, listeners, you know that we love also supporting each other is a really big thing right here in the studio. But it's also very important that we support a non-profit for the month, and so that part of the show has come, and so for this month, we want to support re-sources resourcesorg. Um, we're going to have all the note, the, the links and the show notes for you to go and donate and assist and go and check it out, see what they're about. But, joseph, since you're here, I'd love you to just share with us and the listeners a little bit more about the organization and what it does for the community. I know I've looked into it, but I know the listeners don't really know.
Joseph Drumheller:So Resources is a small nonprofit. It's in Bellingham, washington, and there's two aspects. I used to work for Resources long ago and so I would go around to schools and give presentations on recycling and wise use of resources, and so what? The other part of Resources is it's a construction recycling facility. So they'll go in it to places where they're tearing down old buildings or homes and stuff and they'll take out everything that's salvageable, and so it's like kind of a goodwill construction store, so they recycle all these building materials that otherwise would go into the waste stream, you know. And so they're fabulous. You know they're incredible, they've been, it's been at it a long time and bellingham is the kind of town that would really support that kind of stuff. So you know, it's very um, I don't know what you call it very earthy yeah, I think it's really cool.
Shireen Botha:If you want to know, yeah, go check it out. We've got it in the show notes. Um, learn more about resourcesorg. Um, it's about us, so go check it out. Listeners, that's our nonprofit for the month. We love it. We want to support and make small little changes wherever we can. So thank you, joseph, for bringing that to our attention. We really appreciate it. Before we move on, do we have any other questions that we want to to ask you before we get into a little bit of a game?
Tanya Scotece:um, I just want to ask, joseph, joseph, do you have anything based on? You know our podcast? You know today, as far as anything that we didn't ask you, maybe that you would like the listeners to know. Or you know you know something, maybe that you know anything at all, like from your perspective.
Joseph Drumheller:So just I kind of mentioned on a little bit, but kind of my whole focus is I've gone through all this hypnotherapy and energy healing and all and all that great things. But kind of where my heart really lies right now is like in the advocacy advocacy for soul evolution. And so right now is like in the advocacy advocacy for soul evolution and so um, so that is doing our healing work and then tapping into this higher quantum energy to help us progress as a species, and so when we start to learn to do that collectively, I really think we're going to be able to do things that we consider miraculous right now, when we start to learn how to use these higher vibrational energies collectively as a people. And believe me, the world needs it right now because all this, when you work in higher vibrational energies, um, it's aligned with very high levels of integrity, so it can't not work with low vibe, so it's all high vibe, so it's all about the betterment of everyone.
Joseph Drumheller:So, it's about, you know, it's not like. You know, like our financial system is so set up to benefit just a few, you know. So this is the for the betterment of all, and this all inclusive mentality is what we're going to need to survive as a species, because, you know, we're at a critical phase right now, and so we need to go through a critical level of development, and so we need to be-.
Tanya Scotece:We can do a LinkedIn Live or something we can do, joseph LinkedIn Live and get everybody on LinkedIn, or something.
Joseph Drumheller:And have us go into meditative states where we actually feel the energy, and then just realize that, well, a lot of people do realize, realize, but we need to all come together now in a way that we never have before, and so hip. So technology is a plus and minus to that, because technology can unite us all, but technology is also making us incredibly isolated. So you know, we all spend a lot of time alone, more than we ever used to. So, um on our technology. So okay, so whatever.
Tanya Scotece:So yeah, that's that's it so, higher level, conscious, right for the for humanity levels of consciousness for for everything. Yeah, okay so uh, and I'll turn it right back over to shireen in one second. What is your spirit animal guide? Is it? Is it the squirrel? Is it the bear? Did any of those happen to? Uh, what is it?
Joseph Drumheller:if you don't mind me asking, oh, for me, For you, oh, so I've got two for sure. So one is a Canadian goose, and so I used to this might not sound so great, but I used to. My father raised me, you know, hunting ducks and geese, and so one time when I was in my 20s, I was in the fog and I called this. I was walking along a riverbank and I called a goose out of the the fog and I shot it and I killed it and it was it can't. And when it landed it came right to my feet and I could feel the energy of the goose transfer into my body and so, and so they've been my animal totems ever since I quit hunting.
Joseph Drumheller:That moment, that at that second, and yeah, yeah, and so they've been. They're just, they're around whenever, you know, whenever I need help or they and I see them in very unusual places at times. And then the other one is it would be the grizzly bear. Just because I've had so much interaction with them, especially working as a geologist and stuff, I used to call me bear man and I had fellow geologists that wouldn't work with me because I attracted bears.
Tanya Scotece:You got to like put that on a T-shirt or something or a hat. Wow, beautiful, beautiful. All right Back to you, shireen.
Shireen Botha:Yeah, yeah, so we've come to that part of the podcast. We were going to do something a little bit fun before we end the podcast, so I thought about an association game. We've played it before on the podcast and we seem to have quite a bit of fun with it. So have you played association game? Do you know what it's about? Joseph and Tonya?
Joseph Drumheller:I think Tonya you know Joseph I think you just say a word and the next person says a word that's similar, or something like that.
Shireen Botha:Right, that's's related to the word and then you can't repeat the same word. That's obviously game over, um, and sounds like a college party game yeah, or if you run out of words and you can't think yeah. It's also a way of game over. All right, I have, let's start, because I think I've got a good one.
