Why Isn't Everyone Doing This? with Emily Fletcher

• 100. Why isn’t everyone returning to ancient ritual? with Isis Indriya

  For our 100th episode, we’re bringing you a rare and deeply sacred conversation with ceremonialist, teacher, and ritual artist Isis Indriya — recorded live with the participants of our Egypt pilgrimage container. This wasn’t just an interview; it was a transmission. A remembering. A reorientation back to the technologies, rituals, and embodied wisdom that humans have used for millennia to become living temples. Isis is one of the most devoted students and teachers of Kemet, divination, and ancient ritual arts that I’ve ever known. Her command of lineage — and her humility within it — is breathtaking. In this conversation, she guides us into what it truly means to be in devotion, to walk as a sacred vessel, and to build an inner architecture strong enough to hold the frequencies we’re calling in. If you feel the pull toward Egypt, toward ancient remembrance, or toward rebuilding your own inner temple… this episode will speak directly to that place inside you. In this episode, we explore: · Why devotion is a technology, not a performance · How to build the inner architecture required for mystical work · The difference between ego-based spirituality and lineage-based service · Why ritual, prayer, and offering were central to ancient Egyptian life · How to listen for your assignment — and how to prepare your body for it · How to become a vessel strong enough to carry the frequency you’re seeking Key Moments: 00:00:00 — Opening the space & inviting Isis to pray us in 00:01:05 — What it means to hold wisdom with humility and lineage 00:04:30 — Devotion as a living technology 00:12:44 — Building the “inner temple” as preparation for any spiritual path 00:22:51 — Why ancient Egypt was designed as a multi-layered initiation path 00:41:10 — How to discern between ego desire and true spiritual assignment 00:57:32 — The role of ritual in strengthening the nervous system 01:10:48 — Listening to land, lineage, and your body’s knowing 01:32:20 — What it means to carry Egypt inside you ✨Feeling the call to pilgrimage?

  If you’ve ever felt pulled toward a sacred place for reasons you can’t explain, this episode will speak to that knowing. Emily sits down with her dear friend Kate Northrup to unravel the pilgrimage to Egypt that stretched her open, challenged every layer of her identity, and initiated her into codes she didn’t even know she was asking for. From Isis and Nephthys to masculine healing to full-body activations inside the temples, this is a story about what happens when ancient lands begin working on you. This isn’t a travel recap. It’s an initiation. In this episode, we explore:How Isis first came into Emily’s lifeWhy Egypt amplifies everything—pleasure, prayer, and clarityThe role Nephthys plays in creation and the unmanifestThe masculine healing that prepared Emily for this journeyWhat unfolded inside the Hathor templeWhy certain codes can only be received through lived experienceHow sacred sites reshape your understanding of purpose Key Moments:[00:01] Egypt’s intensity & the first moments of arrival[02:10] Why Emily felt called to Isis—and to this pilgrimage[05:11] Meeting Nephthys, goddess of the void[09:20] The ceremony that shifted Emily’s entire understanding of creation[14:30] Masculine healing and lineage patterns[18:05] The Hathor temple activation[20:40] The “bananas” moment inside the temples[27:45] How Egypt revealed the next chapter of Emily’s work ​​Guest Links: Follow Kate: @katenorthrup Explore her work: ⁠katenorthrup.com⁠  More from Emily & Ziva: Join Ziva Magic: makemagic.zivameditation.com Learn Ziva Meditation: preview.zivameditation.com Free Masterclass: learn.zivameditation.com Get 15% off with promo code WHYTHIS: whythis.zivameditation.com Follow on Instagram: @zivameditation Visit ⁠upgradedformulas.com/emily⁠ and use code EMILY for 20% off everything at UpgradedFormulas.com.

• 99. Why Isn’t Everyone Remembering the Future? with Matías de Stefano

  This conversation with Matías de Stefano opened our entire pilgrimage container, recorded live with a “studio” audience of the souls who would soon travel with us to Egypt. Before we set foot on the land, Matías offered a transmission on what pilgrimage really is: a remembering of the future we are collectively walking toward. Matías is a “rememberer,” someone who recalls the structure of the universe and the evolution of consciousness across epochs, not as history, but as a map of where humanity is going next. In this session, he explains how Earth’s 26,000-year cycle shapes our awakening, how the temples were built to hold future timelines, and how our bodies act as tuning forks for the planet’s next evolution. Here’s why this matters… this episode articulates what so many people are feeling right now: the acceleration, the intuitive heat, the sense that we’re preparing for something. Matías offers a framework that helps you understand that you’re not remembering the past… you’re remembering the future your soul already chose. In this episode, we explore: Why remembering the future is more accurate than remembering past lives The Earth’s 26,000-year cycle & the timeline we’re entering now Pyramids and temples as structures built to store future consciousness Why sacred sites activate codes you already carry How the Nile mirrors the rising of kundalini in the human body Mythology as messages from our future selves Humanity’s role in bringing heaven to earth Key Moments: [00:00] Earth’s 26,000-year “sentence” & tuning into future timelines [00:07] Your spine as Egypt — consciousness rising through the body [00:12] What remembering actually means (and what it’s not) [00:16] Atlantean technology & preparing for future epochs [00:23] Mythology as a blueprint from beyond this timeline [00:28] The Nile as a map for humanity’s evolutionary trajectory [00:37] How the temples communicate with us now [00:49] Sacred sites as accelerators of remembrance About Matías de Stefano: Conscious educator, gridworker, and rememberer Instagram: @matiasgustavodestefano Learn more: https://matiasdestefano.org ✨ LIVE TRANSMISSION: Become the Temple — Dec 10 at 1pm ET Are you ready to learn how to work with the sacred site energies we discussed in this episode? Before applications open for the Spring 2026 Greece Mastermind + Pilgrimage, Emily is teaching a free live activation called Become the Temple. She’ll reveal the mission behind the pilgrimage, why these mysteries matter now, and how to get involved if you feel the call.

• 98. Turn Up The Dial on Your Own Divinity with Layla Martin | Priestess Pilgrimage Part 3: Re-Release

  We’re continuing the Priestess Pilgrimage re-release series with one of my favorite conversations I’ve ever had — recorded in a tiny pink hotel room in Athens with my best friend, the brilliant and beloved Layla Martin. In Part 3, we travel through Crete, one of the last known matriarchal societies on Earth. Layla and I explore what happens when feminine spiritual authority isn’t erased but honored — and how cultures change when women and men hold power side-by-side. We dive into the serpent priestesses of ancient Crete, the origins of Kundalini, the hidden role caves played in feminine rites, and what it means to turn up the dial on your own divinity in a grounded, embodied way. We also share the very human, very messy, hilariously sacred moments inside the cave ceremony — a reminder that sometimes the divine arrives with sweat, fear, laughter, and tourists stumbling through your initiation. If you’ve ever felt the pull toward ancient feminine wisdom or sensed there’s more to your own divinity than you’ve been taught… this episode is a homecoming. In this episode, we explore: • Ancient Crete & what true feminine leadership looked like • Why high priestesses held political, spiritual, and cultural authority • The serpent priestesses & how Kundalini was encoded in art • How caves became temples for birth, fertility, sexuality & magic • Using psychedelics intentionally to awaken—not escape • Preparing your body and nervous system for spiritual expansion • The real, messy moments behind mystical experiences Key Moments: [00:01:13] Returning from Crete & why this leg of the pilgrimage mattered [00:03:59] The soul memory that called Emily & Layla to Crete [00:04:47] Gnosis: the ancient queendom run by priestesses [00:07:21] Minoan matriarchy & serpent priestess symbolism [00:22:39] Entering the cave — the womb of the earth [00:28:11] Sacred sexuality & psychedelics as pathways to the divine [00:30:27] The cave initiation: fear, clearing & cosmic humor [00:36:03] Preparing your body for spiritual expansion [00:52:21] Mystical states without substances [01:00:08] Meditation as the foundation for integration About Layla Martin: Founder of the VITA Method, Tantra teacher, and internationally respected guide in sexual, emotional, and spiritual awakening.

• 97. Why Isn’t Everyone Using Psychedelics to Tap into the Divine with Layla Martin. Pt 1: Re-Release

  We’re re-releasing this powerful conversation with one of my best friends, Layla Martin, as we prepare for our next pilgrimage to Greece in Spring 2026. This episode kicks off our Priestess Pilgrimage series — a journey into the mysteries, medicines, and feminine technologies that shaped entire civilizations. In Part 1, Layla and I explore what it meant to walk as a priestess, why words like witch and oracle were once titles of honor, and how ancient rituals using breath, trance, plants, and embodied worship were designed to help humans experience the divine directly. We also share why tens of thousands of people once traveled to Eleusis to transform their relationship with death — and why those same technologies are rising again now. If you've ever felt the pull toward deeper remembrance, this episode is a doorway. In this episode, we explore: •The true meaning of “High Priestess” — beyond trend, beyond aesthetic •Why the ancient “witch” was simply the wise woman and spiritual leader • How Eleusis became the epicenter of direct divine experience • The connection between plant medicine and early mystical Christianity • Why embodied spirituality threatens systems of control • The Persephone descent as a map for healing and power • How reclamation impacts love, sex, creativity, body image & sovereignty • The very real, very human moments of pilgrimage (including the porta potty initiation) Key Moments: [00:01] High priestesses & the origins of plant medicine as sacrament [00:56] Why Emily & Layla created their own priestess pilgrimage [02:40] Witch, wise woman, priestess — reclaiming the lineage [05:06] What it means to hold spiritual authority in your own body [07:02] How patriarchy severed women from the divine [08:05] The “religion with no name” — nature, cosmos, direct experience [09:41] The Eleusinian Mysteries & dying before you die [12:01] The ingredients, codes & hidden teachings of the Kaikion [15:11] Plant medicine, sovereignty & why it threatened empire [17:18] The psychological impact of remembering your divinity [20:03] Inside the descent myth of Persephone & Demeter [23:52] The moment the pilgrimage became hilariously human Layla Martin — Founder of the VITA Method, teacher of Tantra, sexuality, emotional mastery, and spiritual awakening.
