78. Awakening the Sacred: Ritual, Elements, and the Temple Within w/ Marko Petrovic

Cat Mansfield Episode 78

Today’s guest is someone who truly walks the path of ancient remembrance.

Marko Petrovic is a guide, storyteller, modern-day mystic, and two-time bestselling author of Soul Path and Embrace of the Elements whose work bridges ancient wisdom with modern living. Leading soul-stirring expeditions to Earth’s most sacred corners through his work with the MARA Project, his journey has taken him across the world.

In this conversation, we explore what it means to truly attune to the sacred — not just in temples or power sites, but within the body itself. Marko shares how his mother’s passing became a gateway to deeper presence, and how the five elements can serve as portals for tending to the temple we carry within.

We also dive into how to reintegrate ritual into our everyday lives — not as something separate from the modern world, but as something that can live within it.

This is a conversation for anyone who feels the pull toward the old ways — who senses that something ancient is whispering beneath the surface of ordinary life, waiting to be remembered.

Let’s dive in.
