    What is True Spirituality? with Henry Shukman

    What is True Spirituality? with Henry Shukman

    On this week’s episode of Waking Up, I had the absolute privilege of sitting down with Zen meditation teacher, author, and poet Henry Shukman.

    We discuss topics such as the similarities and differences between spirituality and psychology, non-dual awareness and the ego, parallels between Internal Family Systems Therapy and mindfulness, Henry’s spontaneous awakening experience, spiritual bypass, and what it means to have an authentic relationship to spirituality.

    Henry is one of those people who deeply embodies kindness and presence, and is also very open about his own struggles and difficulties. He’s exactly the kind of person I love to learn from, because it’s clear that he is truly walking the walk, not just talking the talk. 

    I hope you’ll enjoy getting to learn from him as much as I did.

    Cultivating Childlike Wonder, Laughter & Play with Indy Rishi Singh

    Cultivating Childlike Wonder, Laughter & Play with Indy Rishi Singh

    My guest Indy Rishi Singh embodies joyfulness, exuberance, and playfulness like few people I’ve met. 

    He leads workshops on laughter and play with major companies and universities, in addition to his work with prison meditation, gamifying civic engagement, regenerative economics, and systems design. 

    In this episode, we discuss how to cultivate childlike wonder and laughter, the illusory nature of reality, play as a spiritual practice, consciousness as the fundamental substrate of reality, Western misconceptions of the meaning of karma, and how we can apprentice ourselves to the wisdom of children.

    Indy is an exceptional human and an absolute blast to collaborate with. I hope you find this interview as delightful as it is meaningful.
