  • Great session

    A thoughtful heartfelt interview that’s not built on celebrity names. Another great podcast! I love the fact that you don’t limit yoga to a few modalities or styles but is happy to go on the journey to explore how different people may find it in their own unique way.

  • You can have premium material on any podcast but to cut a podcast in the middle of an interview and tell people if they want to listen to the other part they have to pay is something that is not done. You can offer premium content but not violently cut and interview in the middle you just don't do that.

    I’ve decide to stop listening after the last several months of hearing J only refer God in the male gender.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Will Revak - "Healing the Psychic Disconnect with our Mouths"
Q: Why did you choose hydroxyapatite from mammalian bone over nano-hydroxyapatite or synthetic alternatives?
Hydroxyapatite from bone includes native proteins that guide remineralization, providing a biomimetic, living-system approach that better aligns with how teeth actually mineralize, and avoids the risks of nanoparticles behaving unpredictably in the body.
Grace Gessel - "Whoever Hears His Testimony"
Q: How did Grace's past experiences with yoga and spirituality influence her current faith-based practice?
Grace reflects on how her traumatic experiences and exposure to different religious and spiritual frameworks shaped her path to faith, and how she now integrates somatic therapy with Christian beliefs to support clients.
Todd Norian - "The Disease of Worldliness, Radical Nirvana"
Q: How does Tantra differ from a traditional renunciate path in terms of living in the world?
Tantra is framed as a weaving of consciousness into daily life, with boundaries and relationships as essential tools for freedom, rather than a complete withdrawal from society or a flight from desire. The approach emphasizes discernment, vulnerability, and ethical living within the world rather than denying it.
Leslie Howard and Richard Rosen - "Between Breath and Death"
Q: Leslie, what do you think happens after you die?
It varies; I ask the people I work with about their beliefs regarding death.
Chara Caruthers - "Holding Space for Psychedelic Healing"
Q: Is there a certain kind of ethics that practitioners must consider when offering psychedelic support?
Yes, ethics must sit at the center of psychedelic practice, with a focus on personal ethics reflecting professional ethics.
