Connection is the Medicine
Welcome to the Connection Is The Medicine Podcast!
I am your host Eaden Shantay. In this podcast, I interview beautiful souls about connection to self, community, nature and Spirit. We are living at a time when disconnection is leading to great conflict and suffering across the globe. I believe that we can make the greatest positive impact through connection and especially connection to our deeper selves.
This podcast is a part of the Connection is the Medicine Foundation, offering programming at True Nature in Carbondale, CO and Loma Sagrada in Nosara, Costa Rica, dedicated to inspiration, connection and self discovery.

Eaden’s upbringing, as well as his path of healing, greatly influenced his life and desire to create sanctuaries (True Nature Healing Arts, Colorado, USA and Loma Sagrada, Nosara, Costa Rica) for restoration and personal growth.
Eaden has been passionately seeking growth, community, and sacred space for over 30 years. He has a knack for bringing together talented people to support the evolution of his vision. He also loves sharing yoga philosophy, meditation, and conscious living classes and workshops.

Merging Yoga, Buddhism and Internal Family Systems. Exploring the somatic, spiritual and psychological.

Her work integrates the outer frameworks of anatomy and Traditional Chinese Medicine with inner practices of mind training and trauma resolution, inviting a compassionate and somatic approach to inner inquiry and transformation.
Kali is a certified Internal Family Systems coach, holds a master’s in Environmental Public Health, and brings over a decade of experience as a Global Health consultant with the United Nations Association Global Health Initiative on the Africa Affairs Committee.
