Welcome to The End of Seeking Podcast! This podcast was born out of the many, many hours (and years) of conversations that Imogen and Martyn naturally have around the topic of awakening and the nature of Being. It’s intimate, casual and a joy for us to sit together in this way. endofseeking.substack.com

    Episode 40: Alienation and the Return Home

    This week’s episode is a spontaneous conversation recorded on the fly after we realised something meaningful was unfolding. Using our little mobile mics, we dive deep into what feels like the heart of our times: the alienation from our true nature and the longing to return to it. We explore the question at the root of both personal and civilizational crisis: what happens when we forget the ground of our being? From meditation and self-inquiry to the pitfalls of belief and the hunger for direct experience, we trace how disconnection gives rise to confusion, and how remembrance restores clarity. Along the way, we touch on Paul Kingsnorth, Simone Weil, Jordan Peterson, postmodernism, the collapse (or renewal) of civilization, and the deeper rhythm beneath it all — destruction and rebirth, ignorance and awakening. It’s an unpolished, wide-ranging dialogue about truth, consciousness, and the mystery of what’s really going on in our world… and in us. Listen in, reflect, and perhaps remember what’s already whole.

    Episode 39: In the Flow of Dharma

    After some months away, we return to the microphones to talk about where life has taken us – from words to clay, from satsang to sculpture, from the inner world of reflection to the embodied world of creation. We explore how art and spirituality are not separate paths but expressions of the same movement of being. We speak about what it means to live our dharma – to follow the pull of what is most natural, true, and alive – and how meaning reveals itself not as an abstract idea, but as a felt sense of alignment with life’s own flow. This conversation moves through the creative process, surrender, fear, conditioning, and the paradox of the personal and impersonal in awakened life. It’s an intimate and honest reflection on returning to what calls us most deeply, and how that call continues to shape the way we live, create, and serve. Enjoy.

    Episode 38: It's All For You

    In our first episode of 2025, we return to the End of Seeking Podcast to share reflections on our evolving spiritual journeys. We explore the power of surrender and the recognition that everything in life — both ease and challenge — is an expression of the divine, guiding us toward deeper wisdom. Through themes of inclusion, resistance, and the transformative nature of suffering, we examine how awakening moves beyond neutrality into a full-hearted embrace of life’s richness. Martyn shares insights from his contemplative practice and exploration of Christian mysticism, while Imogen offers perspectives from her experiential work with seekers. Together, we dive into the sacrament of the present moment, the nature of spiritual embodiment, and the beautiful paradox of losing ourselves to truly find ourselves. Alongside these deep dives, we also share exciting updates about new in-person and online events, including a seven-day retreat in St. David’s. Join us for an inspiring, wide-ranging conversation on love, joy, and the fullness of being. Enjoy!

    Episode 36: The Path of Surrender

    In this thought-provoking episode, we explore the profound concept of surrender on the spiritual path. We delve into how the practice of surrender evolves from a conscious effort to a natural state of being, addressing the common misconception that surrender means ceasing to exist or act in the world. We discuss how awakening reveals the divine nature acting through us, dissolving the illusion of a separate self. Our conversation touches on the role of meditation and other practices in purifying the mind and revealing our true nature. We share personal experiences of creativity and action from a place of awakened consciousness, offering listeners a glimpse into the lived reality of spiritual awakening. Throughout the episode, we provide practical ways to observe our direct experience and challenge false assumptions about the self. Whether you're new to spirituality or a seasoned practitioner, we offer valuable insights into the nature of consciousness and the transformative power of surrender. Join us for an enlightening discussion that may just shift your perspective on what it means to truly let go and allow life to flow through you. Enjoy.

    Episode 34: The Art of Showing Up

    In Episode 34 of the End of Seeking Podcast, we discuss the importance of 'showing up' on the spiritual path. We explore how persistence, patience, and earnestness are crucial for spiritual practice and inquiry. The conversation delves into the necessity of dedication and aligning actions with stated goals. We examine the concept of sacrificing lower pursuits for higher callings and the challenges of taking risks and stepping into the unknown on the spiritual journey.  The power of self-inquiry and questioning assumptions is a key theme, as well as the process of cleaning up conditioning and false beliefs. Throughout the episode, we emphasise the value of direct experience in understanding one's true nature.  Join us for an in-depth discussion on navigating the challenges and rewards of committed spiritual practice, offering insights on overcoming resistance and finding congruence between aspirations and actions.

    Episode 33: To Love One's Fate

    In this episode we discuss the concept of "amor fati" or the love of one's fate, as proposed by the philosopher Nietzsche. We explore how embracing all experiences, past and present, with acceptance and love, can lead to freedom from suffering. We delve into the stages of awakening and enlightenment, which involve recognising one's true nature as pure consciousness beyond the personal identity. The initial stage is often marked by a gap or glimpse beyond the clouded experience of phenomena, where the unchanging awareness is revealed. However, we clarify that this is not the final stage, as there can still be a subtle duality between the witnessing self and the observed world. Further integration and maturation is required to fully embody non-duality, where all experiences are recognised as expressions of the one Self. We also touch on themes like forgiveness, letting go of regrets and judgments, and the developmental unfolding of awakening over time. We explore metaphors and analogies to illustrate the gradual clearing of perception as one moves from ignorance to embodied non-dual realisation. Enjoy.
