Of Grief and Reverence (E04) - A New and Ancient Story

Rupert Sheldrake is one of the most thoughtful, lucid people I have ever met. In this conversation we talk about the foundations of science, both as an institution and as a path to knowledge. Like all the institutions of modernity, science faces a crisis that is increasingly recognized within science itself. Part of it is the "replicability crisis," but as Rupert and I discuss, that is but a gateway into deeper epistemological and metaphysical problems. 

Rupert Sheldrake, a biologist and author, is best known for his hypothesis of morphic fields and morphic resonance, which leads to a vision of a living, developing universe with its own inherent memory. Find out more on his website: http://www.sheldrake.org/

The Crisis of Science (E07) - A New and Ancient Story

This podcast is a public conversation between me and Orland Bishop, recorded in Santos, Brazil. Even though the audio quality isn't perfect, I want to release this recording anyway in hopes of transmitting to you some of what Orland has transmitted to me. He draws from a deep pool of wisdom that is carried not only by his words, but by the voice beneath them. I don't use phrases like "deep pool of wisdom" very often, and in this case it is not a cliche. We talk about gift and relationship; the power of word, story, and intention; money and the financial system, and other topics. You might sometimes find Orland hard to understand. That's OK. Just let the words reverberate in you.

This Wave got created to connect with your heart space, to let in what is present, to express your truth and to release what is ready to be shed. Once there is more space in your heart, you can invite more love and compassion to fill you up and rest in sweet Stillness.

Rishi Kumar(https://farmerrishi.com), a former software engineer, is a gardening evangelist who uses gardening for personal, social, and ecological healing. We talk a lot about regeneration: how it is not just a set of techniques, but an orientation, a way of seeing, and a way of relating to the earth. We humans don't have to be outsiders to nature; we too are an organ of Gaia and can join the gift circle of life. I hope our conversation gives whomever listens a little extra encouragement to begin or to deepen their gardening, and to look at the nonprofit Rishi works with, Kiss the Ground (https://kisstheground.com).

India Flute - Vijay Raghav Rao

Our bodies are intelligent. They hold our personal, ancestral and collective stories. 
Can we honour and love our bodies as the miracles that they are?  
Can we inhabit our cathedrals of skins and bones and find home within? 
Can we open ourselves to become conduits for consciousness expressing itself through us?
Enjoy this 5Rhythms® dance journey to come into greater embodiment and love of your beautiful body.
