Shivam O'Brien - Tribal Chieftain of Spirit Horse. This Could Go Crazy...

The Jerry Hyde Podcast

Shivam O'Brien is more than a friend, he's a brother, and like many brothers, sometimes there are misunderstandings and this deeply personal episode was the first time we had spoken in about 2 years, so what you're invited to listen to is the two of us reconnecting with a lot of laughter and a few tears after a long period of silence.
Shivam is like no one else I've ever met. A deeply spiritual man with a giant personality to match, he's both blessed and cursed with a chronic and incurable case of Obsessive Building Disorder which, for the last 30 years, he's channeled relentlessly into creating a tribal community called Spirit Horse, hidden away in an idyllic secret valley in Wales.
A master of mostly forgotten ceremony and Pagan ritual, Shivam is a true creator of magic, mayhem and madness, and I'm proud to have collaborated with him on many adventures. I can honestly say that my relationship with him, his co-creator Erica Indra and the Spirit Horse community not only changed, but maybe even saved my life.
An important and formative part of my children's upbringing, like any community or tribe Spirit Horse is not without its politics and flaws, but it's a mystical place where profound transformation can take place, and I feel blessed to have met this beautiful man and to have sat by the fire with him on many a long, stormy night.
