In this episode, Russell Sturgess—a pioneer in Western mindfulness and spiritual mentoring—joins Jake and Callan for a profound exploration of healing, consciousness, and the hidden wisdom within the Tarot. Drawing from his background in osteopathy, Bowen therapy, and decades of spiritual study, Russell shares how his journey led him to uncover the Cathar Code—a transformative path to inner peace encoded in the Marseille Tarot. Russell delves into the origins of the Tarot as a map for human transcendence, the significance of the Beatitudes, and the process of moving from ego-driven living to a state of love, joy, and presence. He also discusses the importance of becoming the observer, the concept of the dark night of the soul, and how ancient wisdom can guide modern seekers toward authentic fulfillment.
