As the physical landscape around Giza changes and more people find themselves drawn back to the temples of Khem, Julia explores another layer of what may be happening: remembrance.
Not only the memories we can name, but the unconscious recognition that can arrive as fascination, dreams, synchronicities, emotion or an inexplicable pull toward a place we have never visited.
What is at the heart of it and why is it happening at this pivotal moment in time? Tune in to find out!

The next chapter of humanity will not be built by one teacher, one tradition or one movement. It will be woven by all of us.
In this episode of The Sacred Travel Podcast, Julia sits down with Ben Bowler, Executive Director of UNITY EARTH, to explore what happens when the people who feel called to serve a different future begin to find one another, gather and weave their work together.
From his beginnings on the Thai–Myanmar border to decades of interfaith pilgrimage and global gatherings, Ben’s journey has become an exploration of unity, sacred place and collective transformation—culminating in the upcoming Angkor Convergence, where world weavers from across cultures, traditions and movements will gather to ask: What becomes possible when we stop trying to create the future alone?
This episode is an invitation to recognize yourself within that network.
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵:
🔥💧 The Sacred Medicine Of Angkor And The Power Of Convergence
Ben shares why Angkor Wat became the calling point for the next UNITY EARTH gathering and how the Angkor Convergence moves through restoration, sacred connection and activation. The journey invites participants to first reconnect with themselves and the land before moving into collaboration and collective visioning.
🌏 From Humanitarian Work To A Global Movement Of Unity
Ben shares how his journey began on the Thai Myanmar border, where humanitarian work opened the doorway into deeper immersion with Buddhist traditions, sacred practice and cross cultural connection. These experiences shaped the foundation of programs such as Monk for a Month and his lifelong commitment to bringing wisdom traditions together.
🌍 Sacred Places As Living Fields Of Transformation
Explore Ben’s understanding of sacred landscapes as places that hold layers of prayer, ceremony, ancestral memory and intention. Together, Julia and Ben explore how certain places can become spaces for healing, transformation and deeper relationship with Earth.
🕊️ Unity Through Relationship, Not Sameness
Discover what happens when people from different spiritual traditions, cultures and backgrounds gather together in genuine connection, honouring diversity while recognising the deeper threads that unite humanity.
✨ Humanity’s Initiation And The Call To Gather
Ben reflects on humanity’s current transition, the role of sacred sites in this process and why conscious communities gathering with shared intention may help us remember our deeper relationship with Earth and one another.
About Ben Bowler
Ben Bowler is the Executive Director of UNITY EARTH, a global network dedicated to unity, peace and deeper connection across humanity.
His journey has taken him through sacred landscapes around the world, from the Himalayas and India to Australia, Europe, the Americas and Asia. Through UNITY EARTH and World Weavers, Ben has created spaces where Indigenous elders, faith leaders, artists, activists, scientists and spiritual seekers can meet across traditions.

In this episode of The Sacred Travel Podcast, Julia journeys with artist, architect and eco-feminist Zein Gaia into the landscapes of Jordan. Together they explore Petra as a womb-like place of remembrance, the forgotten Goddess traditions of the Rose City, Wadi Rum and the medicine of silence, and what it means to move through the Earth as stewards rather than consumers.
Zein also shares the extraordinary synchronicity in Petra that changed the direction of her life and deepened her devotion to Pachamama, ancestral remembrance and creating in reciprocity with the land.

In this solo episode of The Sacred Travel Podcast, Julia opens an honest conversation about seven uncomfortable truths within the Sacred Travel industry. From consuming sacred places and performing spirituality for content to extracting ancient wisdom and offering activations we may not be equipped to hold, this episode invites travellers as well as pilgrimage guides and retreat leaders into deeper discernment, integrity, responsibility and reciprocity with the Earth.
What You’ll Walk Away With:
🌐🛕 Sacred Travel or Spiritual Consumption?Explore the difference between entering a genuine relationship with a sacred place and collecting temples, ceremonies, initiations and activations as spiritual trophies. Sacred Travel asks for reciprocity, not simply reception.
🚪🌿 Access Is Not the Same as InvitationSacred sites are not vending machines for spiritual experiences. Julia explores why local custodians, cultural protocols, restricted spaces and the energetic intelligence of the land must be honoured, including the moments when a place may not be asking you to enter.
📱🏛️ When Witnessing a Sacred Place Becomes PerformingWhen does capturing a beautiful moment begin to interrupt your relationship with the land? Reflect on the tension between reverence and content creation, and learn to recognise when the phone needs to remain in your bag.
📜🔥 Ancient Wisdom Is Not a Branding AssetExplore the difference between genuinely studying, honouring and being initiated into a living tradition and extracting sacred symbols, lineages and mystery teachings to make an offering appear more powerful.
🗝️🌍 The Responsibility of Leading Others Into Sacred PlacesA retreat is not sacred simply because it happens at a sacred site. Julia speaks about holding what you open, refusing to manufacture dramatic transformations and supporting participants after they return home. True Sacred Travel leadership means stewarding the conditions in which transformation can safely unfold.

Have you ever wondered what changes when we stop seeing land as something we own and begin remembering it as something alive, inhabited and sacred?
In this episode of The Sacred Travel Podcast, Julia sits down with writer, illustrator and folklorist Niina Mielipäivä to journey into the rarely explored world of Sámi cosmology, mythology and northern spirituality.
Holding Sámi roots herself, Niina shares how reconnecting with her ancestral lineage opened a deeper exploration into the stories, sacred landscapes and animistic traditions of the North. Together, Julia and Niina explore a worldview where humans are guests of the land, spirits inhabit the landscape, lakes become gateways between worlds and sacred stones create meeting places between humans and the unseen.
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵:
🌍🌿 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝘀 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗢𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝗧𝗼 𝗢𝘄𝗻
Discover the Sámi understanding of humans as guests within a living landscape, where land was not something to possess but something held in relationship with the spirits. Nina also shares how generations of suppression of Sámi language, traditions and spiritual practices impacted the preservation of this ancestral wisdom — and how many are now reconnecting with these forgotten stories and sacred relationships.
☀️✨ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗻 𝗚𝗼𝗱𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘀, 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 & 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝗺𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆
Explore how the extreme geography and light cycles of the North shaped Sámi mythology, from solar deities and ancestral spirits within the Northern Lights to the magical Fire Fox whose journey across the snowy landscape was believed to create the Aurora.
🌊🦢 𝗟𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗔𝘀 𝗚𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱𝘀
Journey into ancient beliefs surrounding deep lakes, false bottoms and the underworld. Discover why birds, fish and shamans were believed to travel between the human and spirit worlds through water, and why some burial places were located on islands.
🪨🌀 𝗦𝗲𝗶𝗱𝗮 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀 & 𝗦𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀
Learn about Seida stone formations, sacred places that functioned as altars and points of communication with the spirit world. Nina shares how different Seidas were connected with fishing, reindeer, families and communities, and how offerings formed part of the relationship between humans, land and the unseen.
🦌🐻 𝗔𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆, 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗲𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 & 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝘆𝘁𝗵 𝗢𝗳 𝗠𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘀𝗵
Discover the extraordinary Sámi stories where the boundary between human and animal becomes fluid, including the story of Miandash, the reindeer ancestor whose descendants could move between human and reindeer form.
🧙‍♂️🥁 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗢𝗳 𝗞𝗶𝘁𝗸𝗮, 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗺 & 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱
Hear the fascinating story of the Witch of Kitka, the remains of a possible Sámi shaman discovered on an island in the Kitka region, and the connection to Aiki Aiki Poika, a 16th-century Sámi shaman within Nina’s own ancestral lineage. Explore the role of shamans, spiritual practices and the deep relationship between the human world and the unseen realms.
