  • This was a huge disappointment. I love this man but there are so many little jokes, and the crowd is just cackling along. Especially one particular lady who constantly laughs so loud, like it's the first joke she's ever heard. So anyway, we get to the end where it's finally serious, and he just gives this basic, run of the mill breathing exercise. Disappointing.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 277 - Music for Mushrooms with East Forest and Jackie Dobrinska
Q: How do you avoid burnout?
East Forest says he does not fully avoid burnout, but tries to slow the pace, spend time in nature, exercise, maintain relationships and keep up musical practice. He also recommends protecting attention and making space for rest and other basic human needs.
Ep. 277 - Music for Mushrooms with East Forest and Jackie Dobrinska
Q: What has been your most profound spiritual experience on mushrooms or otherwise?
East Forest describes his first mushroom experience as a positive opening to a deeper feeling he had sensed before but had no teachers or role models to explain. He says sound later reawakened that feeling during a hike.
Ep. 268 - Beauty, Awe, and Wonder: Ram Dass Explorer’s Club with Louie Schwartzberg and Jackie Dobrinska
Q: How do you balance documenting beauty with staying present in the moment?
The artist shares a practice: after handling the technical setup, drop into the emotion of the moment, pause, and allow the feeling to guide the capture and editing, so the output amplifies the lived experience rather than erasing it.
Ep. 265 - Ram Dass Fellowship: Putting Love into Action with Benjy Wertheimer
Q: How do you stay calm and constructive when talking with people who have different opinions?
Practice mutual understanding, reflect back the other's viewpoint, and approach conversations with curiosity rather than aiming to win; this builds common ground for genuine dialogue.
Ep. 265 - Ram Dass Fellowship: Putting Love into Action with Benjy Wertheimer
Q: What has your path been like up to now as you explore dharma and service?
A winding journey—from following a family legacy in academia to embracing North Indian classical music, then shifting into corporate life, refugee relief, and finally dedicating life to kirtan and Ram Dass' teachings as a form of service.
