  • The simple daily practice that can transform your relationship with yourself
  • What science is finally proving about ancient wisdom

This episode offers a revolutionary framework for understanding trauma and human development that bridges ancient wisdom with modern neuroscience. Whether you’re a practitioner looking to expand your toolkit or someone seeking personal transformation, Will provides practical insights for working with your nervous system and returning to natural aliveness. His approach offers hope that we can move beyond simply managing symptoms to actually resolving trauma at its root – not through forcing change, but through gentle awareness practices that allow our natural capacity for healing to emerge.

S2 EP54: Raj Jana and Natalie Adele: A Spiritual Journey Through Burning Man

n this episode of Stay Grounded, Raj and his partner Natalie take us on a transformative journey through their experience at Burning Man. This annual event in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert is far more than just a festival – it’s a temporary city built on principles of radical self-expression, communal effort, and gifting. For one week, tens of thousands of participants create art, share experiences, and push the boundaries of their comfort zones in a unique environment that challenges societal norms and personal limitations.

Key insights from Raj and Natalie’s Burning Man adventure:

  • The power of intention-setting in manifesting synchronistic experiences
  • How radical self-reliance paradoxically fosters deep community connection
  • The unexpected wisdom found in getting lost during a dust storm
  • Why play and childlike wonder can be profound tools for personal growth
  • The transformative potential of gifting without expectation of return
  • How Burning Man serves as a “maturation ceremony” for many participants
  • The delicate balance between sacred rituals and profane celebrations
  • The challenge and reward of truly allowing oneself to receive
  • Why preparing for Burning Man can be as enlightening as the event itself
  • How the playa becomes a mirror, reflecting one’s deepest essence

The biggest takeaway from this episode is the profound personal growth that comes from releasing control and embracing the unknown. Raj and Natalie’s experiences highlight how surrendering to the unpredictable nature of Burning Man – and by extension, life itself – opens doors to transformation, deeper connection, and a more authentic way of being. Their journey teaches us that true surrender isn’t about giving up, but about opening up to the magic and potential of each moment.

With over 30 years of experience in the field having supported thousands of patients, Dr. Winters brings a unique perspective to the cancer journey, emphasizing the critical importance of emotional and spiritual healing alongside physical treatment. Together, they explore the often-overlooked aspects of cancer recovery and how inner work can be a transformative force in the healing process.
