About the Guest: Dr. Courtney Craig

In this episode of Homespun Haints, Becky and Diana welcomed their longtime friend Courtney, who joined them from, Munich, Germany. This reunion was particularly special as Courtney was the mutual connection who originally brought the hosts together years ago in Florida.

In her day job, Dr. Courtney Craig is an expert chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) nutritionist. By night, she is working on an exciting new venture: opening Frau Bar, Munich’s only bar dedicated to the FLINTA community (women, lesbians, intersex, non-binary, transgender, and agender individuals).

URGENT: Our friend Courtney from this recent episode needs your help; all you have to do is click on this link to her IG post, and “like” the IG post (https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIRODSRsQdP) so she can win her pitch contest and secure funding. Thank you!

Please consider supporting or sharing Courtney’s crowdfunding campaign to open Frau Bar Munich. Keep up with developments by following @Frau_Bar_MUC on Instagram or at the website fraubar.de.

Manifesting in Bars All Over Europe

Throughout the episode, a thread emerged connecting Courtney’s unexplainable experiences with her life’s trajectory. From the telekinesis incident in a London bar to now opening her own bar in Munich, she seems to be following a pattern of manifestation—turning emotional energy into her tangible reality. Courtney has repeatedly manifested significant life changes: learning German, moving to another country as a solo female, establishing a community of over a thousand queer women, and now creating a safe community space for those who lack one.

What is Frau Bar?

Frau: A FLINTA Bar will be Munich’s only dedicated bar for queer women—a vibrant, inclusive space for FLINTA* individuals to connect, unwind, and celebrate community. More than just a bar, Frau is a social hub where you can meet like-minded people, attend queer events, and enjoy a welcoming atmosphere that truly feels like home.

The German acronym FLINTA describes a spectrum of gender identities that have something to do with minority genders or the female experience. It stands for Frauen, Lesben, Intergeschlechtliche, Nicht-binäre, Trans, and Agender.

Frau Bar will serve the LGBTQ community in a way that sounds like a delicious mixture of Cubbyhole, Cheers, and The Planet; as a café and bar hosting regular meetups, women’s sports screenings, and international queer events in a space designed for visibility, connection, and belonging.

If you’re in Munich, we hope you drop by Frau-A FLINTA Bar and order our signature Homespun Haints–sponsored cocktail: the Have a Spooky Day!

About the Guest: Dale Allen-Rowse

Dale is a shamanic practitioner who took the path less traveled into his practice. He grew up in a family divided into two estranged factions. As such, young Dale witnessed the contrasting worlds of stringent religious fundamentalism versus the comparatively liberated life of his Indigenous cousins on their ancestral land in British Columbia. His path wound onward—from ballet dancer, to professional theater performer, to real estate agent, to quilting cowboy—until a devastating medical diagnosis and a revelatory spiritual experience led him to discover he could channel books on shamanism through automatic writing.

You’re definitely going to want to check out his spiritual (disco) journey at YouTube.com/@DaleAllenRowse. Diana could really relate to the raw and vulnerable evolution he shows in his videos. His videos cover topics such as personal evolution, spiritual energy work, core shamanism, manifesting, and evolving.

Once you see his videos and get to know him, you’ll likely want to read some of his channeled works of fiction. You can find all of his books (including the one that just came out as of this writing) through his Amazon author page, or purchase signed copies from his website daleallenrowse.com.

What is Shamanism?

Dale tells us that shamanism is a large umbrella term for many spiritual practices. He lists communicating with the dead, channeling information, animal tracking, and ancient songs and drumming as some of the inherent supernatural skills that lead people to seek training as a shamanic practitioner.

Formal shamanic practitioner school focuses on training in the core principles of shamanism, gathered from around the world. Dale tells us he thinks everyone has a gift, his just happens to be Automatic Writing.

What is Automatic Writing?

Dale describes automatic writing as using his keyboard like a Ouija board. Here on Homespun Haints, we’ve spoken to other guests who’ve experienced automatic writing or automatic drawing. We’ve even tried automatic writing ourselves.

Dale considers automatic writing to be his inherent shamanic gift. He was surprised when he sat down to write a novel, and what came out was a piercing look into the nature of core shamanism. Dale had no formal training when he wrote the book, yet the accuracy of his writing was corroborated by a seasoned shamanic practitioner.

A Power Stack of Entities

In core shamanism training, students learn to work with their allies in the spirit world, as guides and protectors. These include a spirit animal, a body regulator, a regulator of material objects, and the Angel of Neutrality. He tells us that shamanic practitioners cannot hold opinions on world issues; it’s too costly to the soul. Especially so in 2020.

Dale’s body regulator resembles an Egyptian god; half-bird, half-man. He thought that entity was a private thing only he could communicate with. So he was understandably blown away when a 16-year-old reiki practitioner was also able to communicate with his body regulator at their first session. This experience led him to explore a concept he calls “the off-grid.” We delve into that in the second half of his story.
