18. Shay Rays: Ascension, Light Codes & Discernment

“You’ve been activated, welcome to your ascension” Quincee invites the priestess of detail and energy worker Shay Rays into a blindfolded painting experiment, tracking their movement through the body’s energy centers. Shay shares about her major spiritual awakening at age 30 during quarantine that led her to channel symbols and “light codes,” alongside kundalini energy and trance messages. She describes an early period of fear, misplaced devotion to outside entities, and subsequent lessons in discernment, sovereignty, and returning to craft. Shay explains light codes as “soul script,” reflects on art as a mystical portal that can shift inner and outer reality. Now transitioning from the desert to Seattle, she speaks on healing, embodied leadership, joy, curiosity amid divisiveness (including AI), and visions for future creative projects, retreats, and spaces. 00:00 Into the Void 00:34 Blindfold Painting Ritual 00:42 Root Fire Check In 03:26 Awakening Into Art 05:30 Comfort With Shadow 07:07 Psychic Opening Stories 09:29 Discernment and Sovereignty 13:19 Mystical Painting Practice 14:37 Phoenix Breakthrough 18:08 Art as Portal 20:35 What Are Light Codes 22:01 Codes and Identity Shift 23:55 Kundalini Awakening Realization 24:37 Loneliness and Misunderstood Gifts 26:57 Entering the Heart Forest 27:45 Returning Home and Healing 30:30 Beginners Mind in Art 32:25 Joy as a Life Practice 33:34 Curiosity in a Divided World 35:32 AI and the Mystery 38:54 Ten Things to Create 42:53 Crown Guidance and Closing 44:28 Sharing the Art and Where to Find Her 45:13 Podcast Outro and Farewell

17. Grace Nelson: Birth, Death, Emotion & Being Held

“ we're birthing something no matter where we are. ” Grace is a classically trained soprano turned songwriter and multidimensional maker, rooted in an upbringing shaped by a professional-musician father and a visual-artist mother. She now lives in the Twin Cities, at the luminous intersection of art and service as a labor-and-delivery nurse who witnesses life arriving in real time. She moves through the world like an oracle collector: gathering glints of meaning from moonlit deserts, repeating numbers dragonflies, and the deep-blue hush of the unknown. Grace weaves all of this into intimate songs that feel like prayers, confessions, and time capsules of awe. Drawn toward jewel tones, home as sanctuary, and the ongoing work of softening grief into feeling, she creates from devotion: to voice as lifeline, to presence as practice, and to the mysterious water-womb of the void where creation begins again and again.

16. Elly Kace: Sound, Softness, and the Medicine of Truth

Into the void, following the map of the chakras, I journey with Elly Kace: a queer sound-healing mystic and indie artist from Brooklyn, NY, who has graced Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and woven community spaces like the Unstruck Sound Circle and countless deep sound medicine portals. In this episode, Elly traces her creative roots from childhood singing for safety and validation through professional choir and opera, describing ego reckonings that shifted her relationship to sound as service and catharsis rather than performance. We dive into the fear of not belonging, devotion to the divine feminine, cultivating sensual softness, truth-speaking as vocal medicine, and practical guidance like daily low humming and accountability. Elly also shares current projects, including a book on vocal sound healing, her latest hyperpop album, and aspirations like creating a new kind of opera.  00:00 Into the Void 00:30 Meet Elly Case 01:10 Why Record in Darkness 03:19 Body Scan and Inner Vision 06:22 Root Chakra Creative Origins 14:54 Beauty Survival Wound 18:36 Sacral Pleasure and Softness 23:51 Inviting Others to Soften 28:03 Twin Chakras and Development 33:12 Solar Plexus Ego Masks 39:27 Host Creative Confidence Shift 46:01 North Node Courage 47:18 Tears Under Eye Mask 47:57 Devotion to Divine Feminine 51:41 Fear of Being Seen 56:21 Throat Medicine Truth 01:02:30 Humming Practice Liberation 01:06:15 Third Eye Creation List 01:12:49 Following Intuition One Step 01:16:27 Crown Void Channeling 01:21:16 Where to Find Her  01:24:35 Final Farewell Outro Elly’s new album, the Seventh Gate, is now available everywhere, and her tour schedule can be found on her Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/ellykacemusic/?hl=en⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/ellykacemusic/?hl=en]. The Waitlist for the Visionseed Creative Cohort ( beginning April 2026) is open and filling fast: ⁠https://www.visionseed.co/cohort ⁠ [https://www.visionseed.co/cohort]
