  Will Keller: Make Reality Great Again [King Hero Interview] 10.07.2026 1h 48m

  Join me for a King Hero interview with Will Keller, who has passionately pursued many avenues of freedom, including reality itself.While Will is best known for teaching Natural Law, this conversation explores a different question:What does it even mean to be real?We'll look at the difference between reality and philosophy, reality and hope, reality and what we think should be, along with the very real experiences within the human psyche that are often overlooked.Inside this conversation, we'll explore:reality as a path to freedom (and what freedom even is)the relationship between Natural Law and lived experiencewhy so much of modern life is disconnected from realitythe human tendency to substitute ideals for direct experiencethe importance of recognizing what is actually happening within ourselveshow greater contact with reality can transform the way we livehow freedom and responsibility are connectedThe more clearly we see what is, the more consciously we can choose how to respond, be responsible, and gain greater freedom.Join us for a conversation about bringing attention back to what is, inside and out, and why that may be one of the most powerful acts of freedom available to us.About Will KellerWill Keller is a public speaker, educator, and freedom advocate dedicated to teaching Natural Law and the principles of morality, consciousness, and human freedom. Through presentations, podcasts, and educational content, his work bridges philosophy, metaphysics, and practical action, helping people better understand the human condition.As Will says:"It's not about watering down wisdom; it's about inviting everyone to drink from the well of knowledge."His work seeks to make profound ideas accessible, encouraging people to explore consciousness, morality, and the deeper questions of existence with clarity and curiosity.Learn more at:https://willkeller.com ***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspiredIf we're just meeting...I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and  business coach.

  Ben of Cambridge: UK Bladerunner Trusting the Silence [King Hero Interview] 07.07.2026 1h 49m

  What happens when you realize no one is coming to do what you know needs to be done?In this King Hero interview, I'm joined by Ben of Cambridge, whose path led him from quiet observation to direct action during the rollout of 5G technology in the UK.After researching the technology for himself and concluding that it posed serious concerns, Ben chose to act. He equipped himself with the evidence he believed he needed to stand on firm legal ground, taking responsibility for his own decisions and accepting the consequences that followed.His actions resulted in two arrests and no charges being laid, reinforcing his conviction that ordinary people can learn, prepare, and stand for what they believe.Our conversation, however, goes beyond activism.We'll explore the inner journey that accompanies taking meaningful action—the place where fear, purpose, courage, and trust intersect.Inside this episode, we discuss:what inspired Ben to take actionpreparing to stand in law and personal responsibilitythe experience of being arrested and what it taught himthe relationship between fear and couragdiscovering purpose through lived experiencelearning to trust silence and inner guidancehow the Hero's Journey unfolds when no path has been laid before youEvery Hero's Journey reaches a point where certainty disappears and something deeper begins to lead.About BenFor Ben, that place became silence.Join us for a conversation about courage, responsibility, purpose, and the unexpected gifts that can emerge when we trust the path unfolding before us.Ben from Cambridge, UK, decided to take action against the rollout of 5G technology in his local area when he realized no one else was going to do it for him. After researching what he believed were the dangers of the technology being installed and concluding that it was military weapons technology, he prepared himself with the evidence he believed was necessary to defend his actions in law.He was arrested twice and not charged, an experience that strengthened his belief that others can also learn to stand on informed conviction.Following a profound dark night of the soul and a period of purposelessness, Ben came to recognize the gifts hidden within his journey. Today he speaks about allowing fear to become a guide rather than something to escape, and about finding purpose through direct experience.Stay tuned about his adventures:https://t.me/TrustTheSilenceFor more from Beth, her books, her social media links, Telegram Groups, and to apply to become a member of the House of Free Will Ministry visit: https://linktr.ee/bethmartens If we're just meeting...I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and  business coach.

  Beth of Fresh Air - Episode 34: Stage It! [with Micah Ellars] 27.06.2026 1h 40m

  "All the world's a stage."This familiar quote has many layers of meaning, and this week Micah Ellars returns to Beth of Fresh Air to unpack them with me.The stage has become a powerful symbol in our culture. It's a place where our attention is drawn outward, toward the performers and away from ourselves.In freedom movements, the word actor has even become synonymous with liar, as many people recognize the role performance plays in politics, media, and public life.But what if the stage isn't only "out there"?What if the stage also exists within our daily lives and communities?And what if the patterns that allow staged deception to flourish are already embedded in our own psychology?What We'll ExploreThe symbolism of the stageWhy performance has such power over attentionActing, identity, and illusionHow staged deception worksThe role archetypes play in our perceptionHow we can reclaim the stage for conscious creationWith Special Guest: Micah EllarsMicah brings his unique perspective as a filmmaker, acting coach, and teacher of Gurdjieff's work to explore the deeper meaning of the stage.Together we'll look at how acting can serve illusion, and how it can also become a powerful tool for self-remembering, conscious expression, and transformation.Join us for a fresh look at the stage, the roles we play, and what becomes possible when we begin to see the performance clearly.>> Message me<< to get the private series of videos Micah and I didIncluding the remarkable stories of how he came to this work; recognition of "false light", cults and gurus; how your relationship with yourself changes when remember yourself; and our latest, "Hopium vs Self Remembering". See all of the details for the 8-workshop series coming up, Self Remembering With ArchetypesFind out your King Hero Archetype in ten minutes: https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-upApply to become a House of Free Will Member: https://www.bethmartens.com/house-of-free-will-applicationDo a starter online course: Deprogramming 101 or Find Your Sacred Purposehttps://www.bethmartens.com/deprogramming101https://www.bethmartens.com/find-your-sacred-purpose-online-courseDiscover other deprogramming and archetype courses at www.bethmartens.comApply for a zero-cost, one-on-one chat about working together: https://www.bethmartens.com/awaken-your-journey-archetype-application***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspiredIf we're just meeting...I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and  business coach.

  Beth of Fresh Air - Episode 33: Get De-Nickeled With Dagmar Stansova 23.06.2026 2h 21m

  In this episode of Beth of Fresh Air, I'm joined by returning guest Dagmar Stansova to talk about the process of detoxing what may be the most heinous of all the toxic metals:Nickel.Who knew??For most people, nickel only comes up in conversations about skin reactions, jewelry allergies, or metal sensitivities.Yet the medical literature is filled with research on nickel toxicity and its effects on human health. Somehow, much of this information has remained hidden in plain sight.Thanks to the work of Dr. Garrett Smith and a growing number of health adventurers—including Dagmar and myself—many people have been experimenting with nickel detox over the past several months and sharing their observations and results.Why Nickel?Nickel is everywhere.It's in food, water, cookware, consumer products, and many of the things people regularly encounter in daily life.Unlike some toxic metals that receive a great deal of attention, nickel often flies under the radar.Yet its influence on health may be far more significant than many people realize.What We'll ExploreWhat damage nickel can do to the bodyHow nickel fits into human biochemistryHow it compares with other toxic metalsThe pathways through which nickel exits the bodyHow to live and eat low nickel (since zero nickel isn't possible)Why nickel toxicity may have been overlooked in many alternative health circlesHow exposure may disproportionately affect people actively pursuing health and wellnessWith Special Guest: Dagmar StansovaDagmar returns to share her own experiences, observations, and discoveries from the nickel detox journey.Together we'll compare notes, discuss what we've learned, and explore why this topic is generating so much interest among those investigating the root causes of chronic health challenges.Get De-NickeledSometimes the most important discoveries are hiding in plain sight.Join us as we explore one of the most overlooked pieces of the health puzzle.***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspiredIf we're just meeting...I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and  business coach.

  Beth of Fresh Air – Episode 32: De-Cult Inner Work 14.06.2026 2h 4m

  More than 25 years ago, I left what I now openly call a cult.If you've followed my work for any length of time, you've probably heard me mention my years in India and the spiritual organization I devoted myself to in my twenties.In 1999, when victims began coming forward with accounts of sexual abuse by the group's leader, I left immediately.At the time, I was fighting for my life with Stage 4 lymphoma. The choice was clear. Whatever benefit I had received through the teachings, I could no longer ignore the reality of the man at the center of it.I cut the kite strings.And for the most part, I left that chapter behind.A Story That Reopened the PastRecently, I received an advance copy of a book written by someone I knew from those years.Her account fills in many of the gaps that remained mysteries to me for decades.Until now, much of what happened behind the scenes lived in rumours, fragments, and secondhand stories.Reading her detailed account was devastating.I was shocked in a way I haven't experienced in a long time. Not surprise. Shock.For two days I could barely process what I had learned.The reality was far worse than I could have imagined.Why This MattersThis episode is not about understanding how intelligent, sincere, truth-seeking people can become involved in systems that gradually separate them from their own authority.It's about the difference between genuine inner work and environments that cultivate dependency.It's about recognizing the signs before years, health, relationships, resources, and purpose are consumed by something that doesn't hold your best interest.De-Cult Inner WorkWhat does inner work look like when it belongs to you?What happens when spiritual development is grounded in direct experience, self-observation, and truth rather than personality, hierarchy, or devotion to an authority figure?How can we recognize the warning signs of cult dynamics earlier?How do we leave safely?And how do we recover what was valuable without carrying forward what was harmful?A Cautionary TaleI'm sharing this story in part on behalf of the author, who is currently facing her own life-threatening illness.My hope is that her courage in telling the truth may help others recognize unhealthy dynamics sooner, find their way out safely, and reconnect with a path of inner work rooted in freedom.Join me for this important conversation.Find out your King Hero Archetype in ten minutes: https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-upApply to become a House of Free Will Member: https://www.bethmartens.com/house-of-free-will-applicationDo a starter online course: Deprogramming 101 or Find Your Sacred Purposehttps://www.bethmartens.com/deprogramming101https://www.bethmartens.com/find-your-sacred-purpose-online-courseDiscover other deprogramming and archetype courses at www.bethmartens.comApply for a zero-cost, one-on-one chat about working together: https://www.bethmartens.com/awaken-your-journey-archetype-applicationIf we're just meeting...I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and  business coach.

  Edith Ubuntu Chan: Beyond Seeing [King Hero Interview] 09.06.2026 1h 27m

  What becomes real when sight extends beyond the eyes?In this King Hero interview, I'm welcoming back Dr. Edith Ubuntu Chan for our third conversation together.Over the past several years, I've watched Edith conduct extraordinary explorations into consciousness, blindfold vision, telepathy, healing, and human potential. Her work raises profound questions about perception, awareness, and the capacities that may lie dormant within us.This conversation ventures into the territory beyond ordinary seeing—into the force of life itself, the nature of consciousness, and the ways our experience of reality changes as our capacity for perception expands.Inside this episode, we explore:• the phenomenon of blindfold vision and mindsight• consciousness beyond conventional sensory perception• telepathy, intuition, and direct knowing• the relationship between awareness and healing• the force of life that animates human experience• how greater seeing changes our relationship with ourselves and the world• the evolution of human potential and consciousness• what Edith has learned from working with children, adults, and whole families activating expanded capacitiesAs always, we'll bring curiosity, direct experience, and a willingness to explore some of the most fascinating questions about what it means to be human.Join us for a conversation that reaches beyond what the eyes can see and into the workings of consciousness itself.About Dr. Edith Ubuntu ChanDr. Edith Ubuntu Chan is an expert in consciousness and human evolution, a Holistic Chinese Medicine Doctor, author, speaker, and mother of two Luminous Kids.Her journey began in 2003 following a series of meditation-induced mystical experiences that transformed her understanding of human potential.

  Beth of Fresh Air – Episode 31: Re-Tell 07.06.2026 1h 52m

  Story is food for humans.We spend a lot of time thinking about what nourishes us physically, emotionally, and mentally, yet many people are starving for story.Not only for information, instructions, and guidance. But authentically told story that carries something real and can be the food for something else real to grow.There are all kinds of stories in the world. Stories that shape cultures. Stories that influence behavior. Stories that travel through families, communities, and generations. Stories that programs tell. Stories that become identities.What interests me most are the authentic lived stories of transformation.The stories that reveal something true, that don't ask you to believe anything, but allow you to witness and know how a transformation unfolded in real time.The Nourishment of StoryA genuine story carries more than information. It carries experience, wisdom, meaning and a transmission of something that was lived and discovered and overcome.Many of the people I've worked with think no one wants to hear their story. Yet even the most ordinary moments can become deeply nourishing when shared authentically.When a story is told from a place of presence, it becomes something others can recognize in themselves which is a feast for the essence of who we are.What We'll Together ExploreWhy story is essential nourishment for human beingsHow stories shape perception and experienceThe stories programs tell and how they sustain themselvesAuthentic stories of transformationWhy people underestimate the value of their own storiesWhat happens when stories are told and re-told over timeHow stories evolve, deepen, and continue to reveal meaningWhat Inspired Re-TellMicah Ellars inspired this podcast, and when he can, I’ll have him on for a Part 2—or even Part 3!Today, as I write these notes, I had the honour of hearing more of how his life unfolded. I was hungry and have heard others ask to hear the story behind his wellspring of truth, knowledge, and unique gifts for helping others transform.It was riveting. I was the whole time very aware that there was far more left untold than told.Micah graciously agreed to let me record our conversation and share it with those who are interested in self-remembering and in understanding how he arrived at this place in his life—where he and I are now working together, and where he's bringing his experience in acting, filmmaking, coaching, and teaching into service of that work.He spoke about what led up to our meeting, and the synergy that emerged from it. He talked about what led up to our meeting, and the synergy that came of it. (Stay tune for more on how to see it soon!!!)I think what I enjoyed most about hearing his story was witnessing how seemingly separate threads of a life can reveal a deeper coherence when seen as a whole.Discover other deprogramming and archetype courses at www.bethmartens.comApply for a zero-cost, one-on-one chat about working together: https://www.bethmartens.com/awaken-your-journey-archetype-applicationFind out your King Hero Archetype in ten minutes: https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-upApply to become a House of Free Will Member: https://www.bethmartens.com/house-of-free-will-applicationDo a starter online course: Deprogramming 101 or Find Your Sacred Purposehttps://www.bethmartens.com/deprogramming101https://www.bethmartens.com/find-your-sacred-purpose-online-course

  FutureMan | Kery KG Greene | Micah Ellars: Sound, Stage, and Creation on the Hero’s Journey 03.06.2026 2h 50m

  In this episode of the King Hero’s Journey, we’re deep diving into the Hero’s Journey through the lenses of sound, film, stage, archetype, and creation with an extraordinary panel:Roy “FutureMan” WootenKery KG GreeneMicah EllarsWhat brings us together is a shared fascination with the Hero’s Journey as a living structure moving through human experience.FutureMan and Kery explore where sound meets the Hero’s Journey—through rhythm, music, vibration, improvisation, and the unseen architecture beneath creativity itself.Micah brings his perspective from filmmaking, screenwriting, performance, Gurdjieff’s work, and direct exploration of the unconscious and the workings of how art and transformation intersect.And I’ll be listening through my own angle on the Journey as a map of conscious experience—one that reveals the patterns draining life force and offers the possibility of stepping beyond those patterns into freedom.This panel conversation moves across multiple dimensions of creation and consciousness.Inside this episode, we explore:how the Hero’s Journey shapes sound, visuals, and transformational artstage and screen performance as archetypal expressionactors, musicians, and creators as living carriers of mythic patternsoctaves and the Fibonaccithe esoteric meaning of creation on the Journeythe relationship between rhythm, consciousness, and transformationthe potential impact of creative work on humanitywhere freedom is actually foundThere’s a point where art stops being entertainment and begins functioning as a medium for growing what’s essentially human.This conversation lives in that territory.And with these three powerful creators together, I suspect we’ll go well beyond the planned conversation and into the unexpected synergies that emerge when deep pattern recognition meets lived creative experience.Find Them:Roy “FutureMan” Wootenwww.futuremanmusic.comKery KG GreeneYouTube for Greene Moseshttps://youtube.com/@greeneguy9651?si=bziVHOOk5_3KCNCkCOUNTRY MUSIC HOFhttps://www.countrymusichalloffame.org/fwisNashville Music Academy profilehttps://www.nashvillemusicacademy.org/instructors/kery-kg-greene/Micah Ellarshttps://www.instagram.com/micahellars/Discover deprogramming and archetype courses at www.bethmartens.comApply for a zero-cost, one-on-one chat about working together: https://www.bethmartens.com/awaken-your-journey-archetype-applicationFind out your King Hero Archetype in ten minutes: https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-upApply to become a House of Free Will Member: https://www.bethmartens.com/house-of-free-will-applicationDo a starter online course: Deprogramming 101 or Find Your Sacred Purpose If we're just meeting...I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and  business coach.

I went from dying to living almost overnight.Today, I help people who love truth more than their beliefs—people who want to serve with their life’s work and walk their Hero’s Journey—to deprogram the beast system from within and stop unconsciously feeding the forces that harm us.I host the King Hero interview series, where I spotlight leaders, entrepreneurs, movement makers, and lovers of freedom who are carving new paths in a world that desperately needs them.

  Sublimate 💫To sublimate is to refine raw material into a higher expression.To take the friction, experiences, talents, and struggles of life and allow them to become substance for consciousness.This isn’t about superiority over others.It’s about becoming less mechanically run by programs and more connected to the essential inner being that supports real freedom.There is a spiritual worth to that process.A deepening.A remembering.In this episode of Beth of Fresh Air, I’m opening up some of the connections between the octaves in Gurdjieff’s tradition, the Fibonacci sequence I explored with Roy Wooten (and will do further with Micah and a special guest on this coming Monday!), and the living patterns that move through art, transformation, and self-remembering.With Special Guest: Micah EllarsMicah has a rare ability to bring multiple disciplines together into a living process.Filmmaking.Acting coaching.Self-remembering.Inner work.Something new forms through the sublimation of them — a living octave carrying creative and spiritual momentum.We’ll explore how growth in consciousness changes a person’s relationship to identity, pattern, and archetype itself.As someone develops greater freedom internally, they become less mechanically fixed inside archetypal grooves and more capable of movement, creativity, and real choice.What We’ll ExploreOctaves in Gurdjieff’s workFibonacci and living growth patternsSelf-remembering and archetypesCreative sublimation through the artsMechanical identity and conscious participationFreedom and evolving archetypal expressionAnd we’ll allow the conversation itself to become part of the process.This conversation also opens the door into a new workshop series Micah Ellars and I are creating together (stay tuned for details!): Self Remembering with ArchetypesThe End of the False Self Course: https://www.bethmartens.com/the-end-of-the-false-selfDiscover other deprogramming and archetype courses at www.bethmartens.comApply for a zero-cost, one-on-one chat about working together: https://www.bethmartens.com/awaken-your-journey-archetype-applicationFind out your King Hero Archetype in ten minutes: https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-upApply to become a House of Free Will Member: https://www.bethmartens.com/house-of-free-will-applicationDo a starter online course: Deprogramming 101 or Find Your Sacred Purposehttps://www.bethmartens.com/deprogramming101https://www.bethmartens.com/find-your-sacred-purpose-online-course ***MORE FROM BETHSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspiredIf we're just meeting...I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and  business coach.

  Beth of Fresh Air – Episode 29: Synergize With Micah Ellars 25.05.2026 1h 55m

  The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.Synergy is what happens when something new is created through coming together.In groups, it has a recognizable structure:A common aim and shared intentionReal opportunities for contributionIndividual purpose remaining intact, and something new is bornJames Hillman called this new thing a daimon — a third being or soul that emerges from the wholeness of two or more parts uniting.It's a result of learning, growing, and being porous to those you unite with.That doesn't mean indiscriminately taking in everything like a democracy, but always aiming to grow and expand knowledge, understanding, and wisdom.There’s a creative momentum to synergy. Something can come alive that no one person could generate alone.With Special Guest: Micah EllarsSynergize 💫I’m blessed to be joined again by filmmaker, coach, and teacher of George Gurdjieff’s work, Micah Ellars.We’ll explore how his life expresses this kind of coming together — the integration of multiple talents and capacities into something coherent and alive.We’ll share from our experience co-teaching The End of the False Self, and what begins to form when people come together in real work.And we’ll step into synergy live, as the conversation unfolds.The End of the False Self Course: https://www.bethmartens.com/the-end-of-the-false-selfDiscover other deprogramming and archetype courses at www.bethmartens.comApply for a zero-cost, one-on-one chat about working together: https://www.bethmartens.com/awaken-your-journey-archetype-applicationFind out your King Hero Archetype in ten minutes: https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-upApply to become a House of Free Will Member: https://www.bethmartens.com/house-of-free-will-applicationDo a starter online course: Deprogramming 101 or Find Your Sacred Purposehttps://www.bethmartens.com/deprogramming101https://www.bethmartens.com/find-your-sacred-purpose-online-course ***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspiredFollow the King Hero's Journey Podcast on... Apple Podcasts SpotifyIf we're just meeting...I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and  business coach.

  Beth of Fresh Air – Episode 28: Converge With Dawn Lester 16.05.2026 1h 53m

  This episode comes straight out of a real-life meeting at Confluence.Something became unmistakably clear to me there — what it looks like when a community forms organically. Not managed. Not engineered. Not pushed into existence.But something that actually converges.Confluence itself is a living example of this. You can feel the difference when you’re in it. People aren’t being organized… they’re finding each other.And that stands in sharp contrast to so many of the movements we see today — built, structured, and directed from the outside in.How Do You Know the Difference?There’s a real distinction between:something that’s growingand something that’s being assembledIn this episode, we’ll look at how to recognize that difference in real time.Because it’s not always obvious… especially when engineered movements borrow the language and appearance of something real.Why Convergence Matters NowOrganic convergence may be the most important thing we can be doing right now.You can't force and engineer connection or put people into structures.But allowing something real to form through clarity, resonance, and shared seeing, that's where the real magic happens.Special Guest: Dawn LesterI’m joined by Dawn Lester, who I had the pleasure of meeting in person at Confluence. Here's our cosmic and unexpected meeting in the San Antonio airport!!Dawn is a master at understanding how things actually come together. She's best known for her writing and research in the alternative health arenas, but she has a gift for convergence — growing community through truth and alignment.In this episode we’ll explore:what she sees about real vs engineered communityhow convergence happens (and how it doesn’t)and what makes something hold without being forcedIt's subtle and easy to miss… until you see it and can't un-see it.ConvergeIt's what happens naturally and organically. How can we not interfere with it?Join us live to find out and be part of the conversation.The End of the False Self Course: https://www.bethmartens.com/the-end-of-the-false-selfDiscover other deprogramming and archetype courses at www.bethmartens.comApply for a zero-cost, one-on-one chat about working together: https://www.bethmartens.com/awaken-your-journey-archetype-applicationFind out your King Hero Archetype in ten minutes: https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-upApply to become a House of Free Will Member: https://www.bethmartens.com/house-of-free-will-applicationDo a starter online course: Deprogramming 101 or Find Your Sacred Purposehttps://www.bethmartens.com/deprogramming101https://www.bethmartens.com/find-your-sacred-purpose-online-course ***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspired

  Future Man: When Sound Meets the Hero’s Journey [King Hero Interview] 12.05.2026 2h 43m

  What does it look like when a life of music becomes a path of initiation?In this King Hero interview, I’m joined by Roy “Future Man” Wooten—five-time Grammy Award-winning musician, composer, and inventor—to explore the intersection of sound, innovation, and the Hero’s Journey.Future Man is known for creating entirely new instruments, including the Drumitar, which allows him to play a full drum kit with his fingers, and the RoyEl, a futuristic keyboard based on the periodic table and the golden ratio. His work doesn’t just push musical boundaries—it redefines them.But beneath the innovation is a deeper thread:What calls a person to create beyond what already exists?In this conversation, we move beyond music as performance and into music as path, pattern, and initiation.The origins of the Drumitar and what it means to invent your own instrumentThe concept of “Fib Flo” and how rhythm can follow natural sequences like FibonacciWhat Miles Davis meant by: “The melody will be found again, through the rhythm of the drums”The science—and lived experience—of fusion musicWhy Future Man chose to learn to read music after becoming a master musicianHis unexpected path to events like Confluence, and what drew him thereWhat sparked his fascination with the Hero’s JourneyWhether there was a moment he consciously stepped into his callingWhat he sees unfolding for humanity right now—and whether he feels optimisticThis is a conversation about creation at the edge—where discipline meets discovery, and where following the call leads you beyond the known map.Because the Hero’s Journey doesn’t always look like a story.Sometimes, it sounds like one.Roy Wilfred Wooten, known as Future Man (Futche), is a pioneering musician, composer, and inventor. A founding member of Béla Fleck and the Flecktones, he has helped shape a genre-defying sound that blends jazz, bluegrass, funk, and beyond.Renowned for his groundbreaking instruments like the Drumitar and RoyEl, Future Man has dedicated his life to exploring new musical systems and expanding the possibilities of rhythm, melody, and harmony.Born into a deeply musical family in Hampton, Virginia, and later rooted in Nashville’s vibrant scene, his journey reflects a lifelong commitment to innovation, curiosity, and the evolution of sound.Discover deprogramming and archetype courses at www.bethmartens.comApply for a zero-cost, one-on-one chat about working together: https://www.bethmartens.com/awaken-your-journey-archetype-applicationFind out your King Hero Archetype in ten minutes: https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-upApply to become a House of Free Will Member: https://www.bethmartens.com/house-of-free-will-applicationDo a starter online course: Deprogramming 101 or Find Your Sacred Purpose ***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspired

  Beth of Fresh Air – Episode 27: Return With Micah Ellars 03.05.2026 1h 55m

  Fresh back from Confluence in Texas, this episode is about returning — coming back with something real.I’ll share some highlights and adventures from the experience, and what transformation happens when we step out of our usual environments. Patterns loosen, new clarity appears while you’re away, but many people wonder how to hold onto it when they’re back in regular life. In addition, I have a wonderful returning guest…With Special Guest: Micah EllarsI’m joined by filmmaker, acting coach, and teacher of George Gurdjieff’s work, Micah Ellars, to explore the mechanics of false personality and programs. We hear the word all the time, but…What actually are they, and how do they form?What are the clear signs of them, including indecision, crossroads, and relationship friction?Our self-concept says we’re one person, but in reality there are multiple “I’s”.When they are clearly seen and release begins:identification loosensreactions and triggers lose their gripspace opens for real choice and authentic connectionMicah will also share some stories, examples, and a glimpse into the process we’ll be using in:The End of the False SelfCourse starting May 9th!!!The End of the False Self Course: https://www.bethmartens.com/the-end-of-the-false-selfDiscover other deprogramming and archetype courses at www.bethmartens.comApply for a zero-cost, one-on-one chat about working together: https://www.bethmartens.com/awaken-your-journey-archetype-applicationFind out your King Hero Archetype in ten minutes: https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-upApply to become a House of Free Will Member: https://www.bethmartens.com/house-of-free-will-applicationDo a starter online course: Deprogramming 101 or Find Your Sacred Purposehttps://www.bethmartens.com/deprogramming101https://www.bethmartens.com/find-your-sacred-purpose-online-course ***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspiredFollow the King Hero's Journey Podcast on... Apple Podcasts SpotifyIf we're just meeting...I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and  business coach.

  Beth of Fresh Air – Episode 26: Drop It 18.04.2026 1h 48m

  In this episode of Beth of Fresh Air, we move to the next phase:Drop it.Once you’ve spotted a pattern, tracked it, and recognized its structure… there’s only one thing left to do.Not fix it.Not manage it.Not analyze it further.But to drop it.To let it move through you instead of holding it in place.Life is full of things we cling to — both the “good” and the “bad.”When something feels good, we try to hold onto it.When something goes wrong, we hold onto fear, betrayal, and drama.If we get what we want, we fear losing it.If we don’t get what we want, we chase it.Different expressions… same mechanism:Holding.And holding is anti-freedom.But it also creates friction.And if you follow that friction precisely, it can lead to a turning point — a moment where you see clearly that what you’re holding onto is not serving you.From there, a choice becomes available:Drop it.In this episode, I explore:Why holding onto both pleasure and pain keeps patterns in placeHow suppression and clinging both feed the same structureWhat it actually means to “let something move through you”Why dropping something is not lossThe illusion of the “lose-lose” scenario (and the program behind it)How the system is actually rigged in your favorThis may not be a popular perspective, but it’s an important one:We’re not here to get what we want.(Though sometimes we do.)We’re here to discover what we are beneath everything we’re holding onto.And that requires letting go — not as an idea, but as a real-time act.Let’s take a Beth of Fresh Air together.Discover deprogramming and archetype courses at www.bethmartens.comApply for a zero-cost, one-on-one chat about working together: https://www.bethmartens.com/awaken-your-journey-archetype-applicationFind out your King Hero Archetype in ten minutes: https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-upApply to become a House of Free Will Member: https://www.bethmartens.com/house-of-free-will-applicationDo a starter online course: Deprogramming 101 or Find Your Sacred Purposehttps://www.bethmartens.com/deprogramming101https://www.bethmartens.com/find-your-sacred-purpose-online-course ***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspiredFollow the King Hero's Journey Podcast on... Apple Podcasts SpotifyIf we're just meeting...I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and  business coach.

  Beth of Fresh Air – Episode 25: Interrupt 11.04.2026 2h 10m

  In this episode of Beth of Fresh Air, I’m getting into one of the most powerful aspects of deprogramming:The pattern interrupt.If you’ve been following along, you know I’ve been spending time with the work of G. I. Gurdjieff—and for someone who rarely finds great resonance in other systems, I’ve found a surprising amount of common ground.One of his key insights:For anything to change…it needs an injection of energy.A shock.Without it, patterns continue.Mechanically. Predictably. Repeatedly.In my work as a deprogramming and archetype coach, I’m essentially a professional pattern interruptor.In this episode, I’ll explore:What an interrupt actually is (and what it’s not)Why patterns don’t shift on their ownThe role of “shock” in transformationHow to catch patterns in real time, not just in hindsightThe nuance (and danger) of trying to interrupt other people’s patterns 😄Why life will interrupt you —whether you choose it or notBecause here’s the reality:Interrupts are guaranteed.The question is…do you want to consciously interrupt your own patterns—or wait for the world to do it for you?(And it usually doesn’t ask nicely.)This episode is direct, practical, and a little bit of a wake-up call.A “blow-your-own-mind” kind of conversation about breaking continuity, reclaiming attention, and stepping out of the mechanical loops humanity is mostly in.Let’s take a Beth of Fresh Air together.Discover deprogramming and archetype courses at www.bethmartens.comApply for a zero-cost, one-on-one chat about working together: https://www.bethmartens.com/awaken-your-journey-archetype-applicationFind out your King Hero Archetype in ten minutes: https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-upApply to become a House of Free Will Member: https://www.bethmartens.com/house-of-free-will-applicationDo a starter online course: Deprogramming 101 or Find Your Sacred Purposehttps://www.bethmartens.com/deprogramming101https://www.bethmartens.com/find-your-sacred-purpose-online-course ***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspiredFollow the King Hero's Journey Podcast on... Apple Podcasts SpotifyIf we're just meeting...I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and  business coach.

  Beth of Fresh Air – Episode 24: Name It 04.04.2026 1h 33m

  In this episode of Beth of Fresh Air, I’m exploring something deceptively simple — and incredibly powerful:Naming.To name something is not just to describe it.It is to bring it into form.It’s one of the first capacities we develop as humans — learning language, learning to differentiate, learning to point to reality and say, this is that.And from there, everything changes.Naming is an Alchemist power.But it also carries an Alchemist shadow.Because the same ability that reveals truth can also conceal it — hiding a lie inside a word that sounds true.In this episode, I explore:How language development gives us the ability to name and organize realityWhy naming can bring immense relief — especially when you finally have language for a pattern you’ve been living insideThe shadow side: how naming can create a false sense of resolutionWhy people often love their diagnoses The difference between naming a pattern and deprogramming itThe opportunity to reclaim words that have been hijacked, inverted, or pervertedWe’ll also get practical.Not everything should be named.And not everything should be named in the same way.This episode is part of what I’m calling The Free Seeing Series — developing the capacity to perceive clearly, what the heck.Because naming something is not the end.It’s only useful if it leads to seeing — and from there, to actual freedom.Let’s take a Beth of Fresh Air together.Discover deprogramming and archetype courses at www.bethmartens.comApply for a zero-cost, one-on-one chat about working together: https://www.bethmartens.com/awaken-your-journey-archetype-applicationFind out your King Hero Archetype in ten minutes: https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-upApply to become a House of Free Will Member: https://www.bethmartens.com/house-of-free-will-applicationDo a starter online course: Deprogramming 101 or Find Your Sacred Purposehttps://www.bethmartens.com/deprogramming101https://www.bethmartens.com/find-your-sacred-purpose-online-course ***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspiredFollow the King Hero's Journey Podcast on... Apple Podcasts SpotifyIf we're just meeting...I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and  business coach.

  Beth of Fresh Air: Episode 23 - Spot It 30.03.2026 1h 59m

  In this episode of Beth of Fresh Air, we're getting into one of the most useful skills you can develop if you want to move through life with any kind of clarity:Spot it.Life is not random.It’s recursive.Themes repeat.Patterns cycle.Spirals move — not in circles, but in layers.If you’ve ever had the experience of thinking, “Didn’t I already go through this?” — you did. Just not from the same vantage point.I’ve seen this very clearly in my own life, even in something as simple as repeat trips with my son — similar setups, familiar dynamics, but new layers revealed each time. The pattern doesn’t disappear. It evolves.And that’s the key.This isn’t about breaking patterns.It’s about seeing them clearly enough that they can evolve.In this episode, Micah Ellars -- filmmaker and adept in the work of G. Gurdjieff -- and I explore:The recursive nature of life and why themes repeatWhy spirals don’t mean you’re stuck — they mean you’re seeing deeperHow patterns in others are are seen more easilyHow to use this spotting in your favour, it's not what you thinkWhy curiosity is not optional — it’s a necessary skillHow what feels like chaos often has underlying structureAnd how becoming a pattern hunter can save you years of confusionWhen you start to see patterns, you stop taking everything at face value.You stop reacting to every moment as if it’s brand new.You begin to recognize structure — in yourself, in others, in culture, in relationships.And from there, something shifts.Not because you forced change.But because you can finally see what’s actually happening.Let’s take a Beth of Fresh Air together.Discover deprogramming and archetype courses at www.bethmartens.comApply for a zero-cost, one-on-one chat about working together: https://www.bethmartens.com/awaken-your-journey-archetype-applicationFind out your King Hero Archetype in ten minutes: https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-upApply to become a House of Free Will Member: https://www.bethmartens.com/house-of-free-will-applicationDo a starter online course: Deprogramming 101 or Find Your Sacred Purposehttps://www.bethmartens.com/deprogramming101https://www.bethmartens.com/find-your-sacred-purpose-online-course ***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspiredFollow the King Hero's Journey Podcast on... Apple Podcasts SpotifyIf we're just meeting...I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and  business coach.

  Beth of Fresh Air: Episode 22 - De-Scent 22.03.2026 1h 57m

  In this episode of Beth of Fresh Air, I’m turning my attention to something subtle, pervasive, and rarely questioned: scent.It’s everywhere.From perfumes and cleaning products to public spaces and travel environments, scent shapes our experience more than we tend to notice — influencing mood, affecting the body, and sometimes overwhelming the senses in ways that are hard to ignore once you start paying attention.After a recent trip out of the country with my son, I found myself in what can only be described as a kind of scented assault. What started as a simple journey quickly turned into a series of plot twists all centered around this one theme.In this solo episode, I’ll share that story — how it unfolded, how we navigated it, and what it revealed.I’ll also talk about:The constant presence of toxic scents in modern environmentsHow scent interacts with the body and nervous systemWhy this is such an overlooked influence on our experiencePractical and sometimes quirky ways I’ve learned to work with itWhat happens when you’re pushed out of comfort and into awarenessAlong the way, I’ll share some of the other memorable parts of the trip — including run-ins with officials (some good, some not so good), unexpected challenges, and the genuinely good things that came out of what initially felt like a shock to the system.This episode is part reflection, part exploration, and part practical navigation.Let’s take a Beth of Fresh Air together.Beth of Fresh Air is a place to look deep and see widely, to play with perception and perspective, in service of evolving culture and the power of the human spirit.Discover deprogramming and archetype courses at www.bethmartens.comApply for a zero-cost, one-on-one chat about working together: https://www.bethmartens.com/awaken-your-journey-archetype-applicationFind out your King Hero Archetype in ten minutes: https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-upApply to become a House of Free Will Member: https://www.bethmartens.com/house-of-free-will-application ***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspiredFollow the King Hero's Journey Podcast on... Apple Podcasts SpotifyIf we're just meeting...I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and  business coach.
