Sam has provided us with a show that invites us in to hear innovative people who are creators, philosophers, free thinkers and practitioners of a variety of disciplines. The show gives us an opportunity into what Esalen Institute has offered to those who began exploring human potential from the early 70’s onward.
I appreciate Sams knowledge of his guests and their expertise. His eloquent and clear deliveries of questions and prompts, make it informative and easy to listen to.
I adore Esalen, and mostly enjoy this podcast. The one thing that bugs me is, every time someone talks about romantic partnerships, the show's host talks about his distaste for polyamory. It seems like a bid for further criticism of others' relationship styles. It doesn't matter to me what the hosts practices in his own life, and I wish he'd lay off of other people's orientations and personal choices, at least on a show representing such a broad-minded institution.
Just advertising future Esalen events. Enjoyed Jon Hopkins, but ugh I’d like to explore all that music without slow playing the entire hour again to get the names. Also some tact when referring to scrapping by in the 90s on $14 an hour plus tips. There’s a huge population of the US who’d be happy to receive such a raise in pay.
Esalen seems to be hitching their wagon to CRT ideology, which seems to me a refutation of much of the important knowledge-building that’s been done there over the decades. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
