  • A mythopoetic voice for our times

    This podcast and Josh’s voice and lense has been a salve for me and these times. The magnitude and power in which he is able to transmit ancient teachings and contributing a mythic lense to the times we are living in is magnificent. It’s rare to have someone create art for the public in this way, share their heart, and be open to the collective. Thank you for sharing your heart so fully with the world.
