Episode 110: Romy Hoffman of Agender on sobriety and creativity

How to change your life and change the world over mindful drinks in a beautiful space in the city. Welcome to Hinterland... ✨

Enter Hinterland sober bar, “the realm beyond what’s known”… And meet founders Sanghadhara and Stephen Jeffreys in their cosy, cool, poetic, liminal space for a cocktail and meaningful conversation about how Buddhism and the Dharma can inform modern culture—and people’s social lives—in new ways. 

Hinterland has been a passion project from the start. And on this busy Friday evening on one of the busiest nights of the year in one of the hippest areas of Manchester, UK, we hear that passion come pouring through as we discuss ethical work in 2025; and how anyone can impact society by building an entrepreneurial business that is also a commercially counter-cultural social enterprise. 

For any building makeover heads out there, we hear how transformative interior and graphic design can express some of our deepest values. And, of course in a sober bar, how the look and feel of a social space can also support recovery through helping us shift how we perceive and experience the world—with no alcohol required.

It’s clear talking with Stephen and Sanghadhara that working together can both challenge and enhance a personal friendship, taking it to the next level. And in terms of specifically Buddhist practice, what an amazing testing ground Hinterland has been for the work of attending to their mental states and trying to serve the happiness of others with their energies and their work.

Join us over sophisticated hemp and root spirits and delicious vegan food to explore how a bar that attempts to blend an industrial aesthetic with animist sensibilities (through the lens of Japanese minimalism) can be a ground for depth of connection, art and Dharma. And how a drink with friends or strangers can open up a way into new possibilities in our lives when we have that sense of wanting to change…

This celebratory tale of inspired Buddhist practice is the perfect podcast to help you rekindle your own new year’s resolutions. Cheers! 🍸🍹

pepsi feat. sarah greenwald

This is a personal song about my battle with alcohol during 9 years, i'm not an artist, a musican, a produccer or a professional in the music industry, i just wanted to spit all that feelings that i had in that horrible era of my life, and now that I'm going to celebrate my first year of sobriety next month (May 27th to be exact) I've decided to celebrate by creating this song! (MY ACCENT MAY SOUND A LITTLE STRANGE SINCE I AM NOT A NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER, I'M FROM COSTA RICA, SO THE LYRICS ARE HERE) 

Another dawn breaks, painted in gray

And sorrow grips me, won't go away. 

I am dizzy and drunk, this vicious circle spins,

 This burning need for more, it pulls me 
back again. 

This aching void inside, the bottle can't replace, the craving for that 
smoke, a fiend I can't outpace. 

My heart is broken by this alcohol's disgrace. 

I fucking hate this, this grip it has on me, I start to shake, my demons call my name, 

This need for that first drink, drives me insane. 

I wish I could go back in time and fix all my mistakes, But I cant control it

I take a breath, my mind is too cloudy,

 I must take it easy

 I think I'm going crazy...
 
Why do I feel this way ?

Why i can't smile ? 

Why am i so fucking broke?

Maybe I deserve it, now I feel like a fucking trash, my mind plays against me and I can't control it ...
 
I can't be fine, I can't be 

happy, I fucking hate my 

life, I just want to die ...

Another dawn breaks, painted in gray

And sorrow grips me, won't go away. 

I am dizzy and drunk, this vicious circle spins

 This burning need for more, it pulls me 
back again. 

This aching void inside, the bottle can't replace, the craving for that 
smoke, a fiend I can't outpace. 

My heart is broken by this alcohol's disgrace. 

I fucking hate this, this grip it has on me, I start to shake, my demons call my name, 

This need for that first drink, drives me insane. 

I wish I could go back in time and fix all my mistakes, But I cant control it

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can't stop drinking

Why can't i stop ?

I'm so confused, i wasnt like this before...

Whats happening to me?

Im angry all the time...

Im sad all the time...

I depend on that shit to make feel good

I dont recognize myself in the mirror 

I disgust myself

Everyone hates me, they dont love, they're lying

If i die right now nobody would care

Im just a fucking alcoholic piece of shit, Who would care ?

I dont want to feel like this anymore

Nobody can understand how i feel

I dont want to die like this

God please help me...

Hey!My name is Selena aka Kanahala and I'm just here doing what I love which is composing music🎶 Owner of Rawbeenhood Records with my husband Oarber 🎶Every track is made with passion and hard work please listen and enjoy! Thank you so much!!

Rob started writing song lyrics in high school. It became a passion of his and a way to express his emotions. He moved to Nashville in '99 due to a job transfer. Rob thought he would be able to pursue songwriting in his spare time. Little did he know he would not have any spare time. Recently, Rob made the decision to make time to pursue his passion for songwriting, work on his craft, and get his songs recorded and out into the universe.

The Buddhist Centre Online is the home on the web for the Dharma Toolkit from the Triratna Buddhist Community. Thanks for supporting us as we work to keep you and many thousands of people around the world connected to community throughout the crisis ! 🙏🏻

A series of Speaker Qualifications of the "To The Lighthouse" meeting, an open AA meeting about finding and developing a relationship with a Higher Power.

Scream Therapy is a podcast about using punk rock as a catalyst for mental health. My guests are other members of the punk music scene who, like me, have lived experience with mental health challenges.
