Conversations with those who've gone a little deeper. I cover culture, community, spirituality, sense making and as always, the modern renaissance we are living through.

Traveling to Uganda with Mike and supporting his work in Uganda was one of the most meaningful trips in my life.
Understanding how he does what he does could revolutionize humanitarian response.
My main take away. Give people what they need and the dignity to solve their own problems. we are all amazing - no matter what our circumstance.

Bodywork vs Massage w/ Whitney Bell
In this session Whitney literally explains how the magic of awareness works. It’s astonishing to hear something that is so esoteric explained so logically and clearly.
Whittney is one of the few lineage carriers across a whole ecosystem of somatic arts that emerged out of the 1960’s cultural movement and human potential movement. In this conversation at Tassajara we touch on the presence and awreness practices that are at the core of her work.
We outline what is Gestalt Awareness practice. What is body work. How she uses her insight and above all. What holding space for deep healing work and release really looks like. My biggest take away from this is that the real true work that any individual does, is in fact up to that individual and is not ‘done to them’ by a practitioner. A real powerful healer simply holds the presence for you to become aware and make the choice to let go or change.
Whittney will be working with me and a few others on a deep dive program where we’ll be teaching all of these practices in a experimental container over the course of a year with several teachers. I cannot be more excited to bring into the world.

Hold Nothing w/ Elena Brower
Elana and I have been friends for almost 15 years. We helped create a mediation school in NYC in 2014, and I truly treasure the moments I get lucky enough to connect with her - it always shifts something subtly but powerful in my life.
Elena seeks so deeply personally - that she can’t help but share. All of us who’ve been lucky enough to cross paths with her have had our perspectives shifted and lives changed. Check the full audio above and a short clip we both love below and you’ll see what I mean!Elena published her new book Hold Nothing yesterday. I was lucky enough to get an early copy and it’s amazing.
I highly reccomend getting a copy today (https://a.co/d/a0HkY5j).
A little clip of us next to the creek @ Tassajara Zen Mountain Center at the last namūna (http://namuna.earth) gathering:
