Interested in becoming our Patreon? https://www.patreon.com/TheWonderLandPodcast In this episode Alex and Amanda explore how words can move us away from the fullness of experiencing. Naming it may tame it, but feelings are not to be tamed. They are what experience and aliveness are made of. What is hiding in the depths of the wordless experience of feeling?

Interested in becoming our Patreon? https://www.patreon.com/TheWonderLandPodcast Listen in as we explore the pointer of paradox as a doorway, not a puzzle to solve. With the help of a story of a Zen teacher from The One Who Vanished into Silence (807–869 CE), we look at how the mind can get frustrated in these conversations and how that frustration is actually a call to walk through the portal of...

Interested in becoming our Patreon? https://www.patreon.com/TheWonderLandPodcast Listen in as we take another look at Useful Fictions, and how vital it can be to realize how much experience is spent in the abstract. We don’t discount the usefulness and practicality of the abstract, but when it is believed to be actual, known, reality we suffer. The grasping, pushing, and pulling of abstractions in...

Alex and Amanda explore the tendrils available to us when our experience expands —like those delicate, spiraling vines—reaching out. Not barging in. Not grabbing. But offering something else, something previously unknown and unknowable Interested in becoming our Patreon? https://www.patreon.com/TheWonderLandPodcast Get in touch! podcast.thewonderland@gmail.com   Interested in working with us?

Today we take another look at why it’s so valuable to explore the fluidity of experience. The feelings and notions of being stuck, static, imprisoned are very painful- for a good reason. Amanda and Alex also visit the saying This Too Shall Pass and what it’s really pointing to in The Wonder Land. Join us for a swim in Fluidic Space.

In this episode Alex and Amanda explore the illusion of reaching “enough” Enough to be happy, content, enough to stop seeking are all illusions that keep us striving and hustling for a destination we cannot reach for it doesn’t exist Interested in becoming our Patreon? https://www.patreon.com/TheWonderLandPodcast Get in touch! podcast.thewonderland@gmail.com   Interested in working with us?

Listen in as Amanda and Alex explore The Field. Dive into one of the ways we can expand out from our seemingly finite archive of identified thought structures. What is going on when we feel stuck or stagnant? How can we notice the non-linear Field that knows nothing of time based concepts and self ideas? Join us in The Field today.

In this episode Alex and Amanda explore the fallacy that worry is necessary. We have learned worry to be a natural expression of caring and even a pre-requisite for action. We can love and care deeply without worry having to take the lead. When we look closer we see that while worry ebbs and flows in all areas of our lives - life happens in unexpected ways. What would it feel like to let love hold...

Join us today as we reveal what seems to be a vital recognition to make as often as possible: that all we experience is story. We look at how this realization doesn’t diminish our experience of reality, but rather allows us to dive in even more fully. Listen in as we see how even the most seemingly objective and fact based “things” are all nestled in story rather than existing in isolation. There...

In this episode, Alex and Amanda explore the feeling of standing still, the slowing down of the pull into the flow. The draw into the wave before we feel the delightful sensation of moving forward.

Join Amanda and Alex as they take a journey to into The Wonder Land Potion Room. What ingredients will be found that we usually believe are useless and painful? Worry? Fear? Watch what happens when we discover that all the bottles of experience are integral for the alchemy of us. erested in becoming our Patreon? https://www.patreon.com/TheWonderLandPodcast Get in touch! podcast.thewonderland@gmail...

Join us today to hear how we can embody The Audacity of experiencing life whole and complete- without the old learned ideas that you should be, do, say, or feel a certain way at any time.  How can we have the audacity of opening up to our vastness rather than trying to figure out the nightmare?  How can we have the audacity to halt the constant self-correction and punishment that we are taught to...

Alex and Amanda explore the vast simplicity of life's flow and discuss the effort of resisting life's unknowableness by creating dams of certainty.

Listen in as we explore the metaphor of The Claw Machine! How this seemingly frustrating game of grasping and dropping, promises, and defeat is actually not a problem or malfunction. Do you feel like your machine is rigged? Or could it be that the game itself is for the playing of it?

Listen in as Alex and Amanda explore the powerful hidden growth that happens in the silence of the Shadow

Listen in as Amanda and Alex take a look at The Body from a slightly different view. We can explore this topic a lot of ways, but in The Wonder Land we get to see how the body arises in awareness rather than the other way around, and the implications of that recognition. We also conclude that a “normalized” experience of being in a body can swing wildly out of the constraints that we are condition...

Alexandra and Amanda explore what is beneath all our desires to change and how seeing the subtle promise can shift our relationship with change

  Dive in with Amanda and Alex as they take a look around The Simulation theory and the constructs of us and a world. Discover the freedom in seeing this in a deep, experiential way and what it might look like to see through the struggle of one construct trying to meet the demands of another construct. Using the example of ancient stories like Plato’s Cave and Zhuangzi’s Dream, we can find the Won...

Alex and Amanda explore the nagging feeling that everything will make sense and improve once we know the ONE thing. What is this pervasive sense that something is being kept from us? That if we could just see it and know it we would settle into peace and happiness.

Today Amanda and Alex explore our creative Ink Blot experience. Sensing a world that is immediately shaped by lines and definitions can often fool the self-idea into believing these lines and boundaries and meanings are actual and true. In addition to a world of Ink Blot, there is a center of consolidated ink that spreads out as that world---what is implied to be in the center? Listen in to discov...
