Walking right up to the words that haunt my brain and listening to them like they're ghosts with crucial information

This episode is about the spiritual experiences and beliefs that are at the center of my work. I talk about how having an embodied experience of interconnectedness and of the future can make building the future possible, and how love and relating changes based on an understanding of interconnectedness. It gets weird!

The third in a series of episodes about the move from the old way and the new way of loving, this episode focuses on the transition itself- the in-between space, where we're building the skills for the new way and unlearning the old way.  We talk about how the skills of loving in this way are also skills that are helpful in navigating this confusing and unstable time more broadly. Using tarot card...

In the second episode in this series on the transition between the old and new ways of loving, we dive into the gifts and shadows of the emergent new way of loving. Lots of talk about moving beyond morality as a guide for action, and seeing love as the third space between us.   Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/CreativeEncounters

Continuing a series on desire, in this episode I talk about why working with desire is an important skill for the new way of loving, and how to move from working with desire internally to expressing it out in the world.

This is the first in a multi-part series, and today’s episode is about working with desire internally. We talk about desire as life force, seeing our subconscious as an internal landscape that we can observe and be in relationship with, and the literal magic that ha...

A crucial skill for moving into a new way of loving is being comfortable with other people not understanding you or being on the same page. The old way of loving needed everyone to be doing the same things, and used resentment and shame to push everyone in the same direction. In the new way, we know that what works for one person doesn’t need to work for anyone else. We’re learning how to celebrat...

Welcome to the Creative Encounters Podcast! In this intro episode, we talk about the old way of loving that's coming to an end and the new way that we're moving towards. We discuss moving away from depending on outer authorities to tell us what love looks like, and how using our inner authority can result in unique connections that shift over time and work for all people involved.
