The Problem of Creepy Men
In this episode we go deep into the problem of creepy men. These are men who simply don't get it when it comes to talking to women. Often we approach such men with anger and disgust, and yet this seldom actually solves the problem. What are the consequences to not solving this problem? How can we approach it with compassion? Listen to find out. We hope you enjoy!

Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder - A Conversation with Ed Prideaux
In this episode, we are joined by Ed Prideaux to talk about Hallucinogen Perception Persisting Disorder (HPPD). This is a very real and distressing effect that can occur from having an intense mind-altering experience and has been associated with the use of psychedelics. However, prohibition and stigma has stifled the knowledge around this issue, which has contributed to the distress experienced by people with these symptoms. In this episode, Ed provides a lot of valuable knowledge around the experience of HPPD, how distress can be avoided, and important distinctions when it comes to diagnoses and awareness.

Stacking Wins - Spiral Dynamics Orange
In this episode, we go deep into how you can integrate Stage Orange of Spiral Dynamics. Spiral Dynamics is a model of societal and psychological development. Stage Orange is the stage where science, capitalism, and individuality emerge out of the collapsing theological order. This creates a psychology that strives for personal achievement and so we discuss several of the mindsets that you need to cultivate a passion for your own achievement. We hope you enjoy!

Understanding Spirituality Through Dialogue
In this episode we attempt to come to a mutual understanding of several passages from different texts in a process called Dialectic into Dialogos. We read a short paragraph, and then discuss how we understood it and how we can attempt to apply it to our own lives The three texts we focus on are Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, The Tao Te Ching, and the Bhagavad Gita.

The Duality of Energy and Structure
In this episode, we discuss Kaylee's trip where she perceived reality as being divided between energy and structure. In pursuit of energy she had rejected and demonized structure into her shadow. Through this trip she realized the importance of structure in allowing for greater expression of the energy. We hope you enjoy!
