Episode 10: Being Buddha Nature Part 2, interview by Jane Miller
Jane and I connect on an energetic level so that I can speak directly from my immediate experience for this conversation.
Some of the things that emerge are living in a different paradigm, the flame being out, tantric desire, evocativeness, the organising forces of the Universe, the imaginal realm, social imaginaries, death and shamanic lifecycles and being free from anxiety.
Episode 9: Being Buddha Nature Part 1, interview by David Lassiter
Some of the most important things we talk about are the fractal endlessness of experience; the precision engineering of the Universe and what it means to embody that when the darkness has been included; non-duality with meaning and how that leads to a whole experience that includes the intuitive elements; how feeling and embodying aspects of experience changes the nature of how insights are perceived; and the evolution of Buddha Nature and my role in that.
Episode 8: IFS, the Enneagram and Awakening, with Joost Vervoort

This is also a really good overview of the Enneagram for anyone who wants an introduction or to deepen their understanding of how to work with it.

Episode 4: Spiritual Discovery, with Paul Wallace
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.
Episode 3: Chiropractic and Working With The Body, with Joe Arnold
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.
You can find out more about Joe’s practice here.
