Creative Adventures Rosa Lewis

David spent over 18 months on retreat in a 5 year period in the Theravada Buddhist tradition. In this conversation we cover a wide range of stuff, from the Progress of Insight, to the emotional turmoil that can emerge to the benefits of this kind of intensive practice.  

There isn’t a lot of content available about long-term retreat experiences; this could be particularly helpful or interesting for people interested in the Theravadan path, the progress of insight and Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha.

In this episode Paul shares his journey of discovery through semiotics, meaning, French philosophers, art, spiritual practice and more. 

We bond over a love of the shadow, the flow between the conscious and the unconscious and metaphor as the doorway into the unknowable.

Towards the end we talk about this diagram or mandala that Paul created. 

You can find out more about Paul here and see some of his art here.

Joe talks about the origins of chiropractic and we discuss a wide range of topics related to what I would call body awakening. This includes the quantum entanglement of the body-mind-emotion system, society's sympathetic-nervous-system dominant state and what we see as the solutions to this.

I talk with Aidan about his upcoming book, Psychedelic Experience, and we discuss the ineffable and user experience design.

The episode in which we discuss societal sexual shadows and eros as being the key to some of the deepest spirituals experiences.

I also describe the experience of receiving a VR blow-job. There is much giggling in the discussion of it but it leads to some very interesting explorations on gender dynamics and sexuality.

Kaloyan experienced a deep awakening that has involved working through and purifying a lot of bodily and karmic trauma. I have been guiding him and working with him through this process.

In this episode we describe what karma is and how we've worked with it in our sessions, particularly focusing on healing the masculine and feminine energies.
