- Lovely
Bea Gonzalez is brilliant. I’ll dive into anything she pours herself into! Also, the songwriter seems to bring a different perspective that I appreciate. As a huge music lover, he correctly called out two groups that really invite you to be more connected to the unknown: Sigur Ros & Radiohead. I’m so interested in how the worlds collide, with music and mysticism, so that was a very cool thing to hear. Bea’s Astrology podcast is great, too!

United States3 years ago - Bea and Jay have a wonderful rhythm.
I love the themes that follow depth psychology and the creative process. Jay's music is fantastic and provides moments to ponder the compelling discussions.
Audible5CustomerUnited States3 years ago - Great conversation about Jungian stuff and art
Great exploration of Jungian ideas for those who are beginning on the journey. Also great for artists as the hosts describe their experience with their own artistic work. Glad for the many books mentioned that I can add to my library. Jay’s music is wonderful.

Canada3 years ago - Great for beginners
Great for beginners getting into Jungian thought but it’s an echo chamber of others work. The comment is made, at the end of episode 4, that they solved romantic love, I assume that was a joke because they didn’t say anything that Robert Johnson didn’t already say in his book “We”. Great for beginners but plagiarism at its best and no originality.
Apple Podcasts1Jibber_JabberUnited States3 years ago - Wonderful conversation
Such an interesting podcast following the journey of two incredibly interesting, deeply thoughtful and introspective Jungian-influenced thinkers. I love how approachable and human the conversation is - highly recommend.
