That Good May Become – Détails, épisodes et analyse

I live in the land of teenagers and it is incredible. Somehow they get a bad rap, but they are creative, deep thinkers fighting for their lives in this strange world. Today I’m joined by Andrew May, deep thinker, organizational whizz, writer and former high school teacher. This inspiring conversation will remind you of how we need to show up for the young adults in our lives–with humility and honesty. 

Stay tuned to the end for Andrew’s beautiful poem called The Gloaming. https://substack.com/@andrewmay

Coming Up: How To Know Higher Worlds by Rudolf Steiner is described as a handbook for peace. Why? Because to create peace we need to establish it within ourselves. Over the next year, I’ll offer a monthly gathering to dive deep into its chapters and practice the exercises in a small community of learners. The meetings will happen one Saturday a month for 1.5 hours. I’ll send preparatory work your way, and then we will come together to explore. If interested, please email or DM me and pass it along to your friends. I can’t wait for you to join me! 

Meggan Gill explores being alive in a time of beauty, challenge, and change, and what this means for Waldorf education. In this far-ranging discussion, we talk about materialism, the danger of certainty, the humbling experience of working with children, embracing difference, systems of oppression, and the children coming into the world today.

Laura Embrey, author of eight volumes of form drawing books for healing the mind, body, and soul, talks about "the double" and the understanding that inner development must be in service to world development in order to transform the negative forces within and outside of us. This episode was recorded live and has plenty of  esoteric perspectives, along with a healthy does of humor and the occasional background noise.  You can hear more of Laura on Episode 12: Healing Forms, and find all of Laura's books at lauraembrey.com. 

 In this season on the Problems of the World, Timothy Kennedy explores the spiritual side of an issue that effects us all: MONEY. From its origins to its powerful influence to solutions each of us can take up, Timothy's wisdom and depth invites us into a new imagination of what money can mean. Be sure to tune in to the extended play "easter egg" comments and advice after the music at the end!

To kick off my new season focused on "the problems of the world," Conner Habib and I discuss the depth of spiritual activity needed to understand the truth of how peace is created and why peace is becoming a possibility for humankind now more than ever. His perspective on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict and the suffering and possibility of redemption is profound and offers a picture of a way forward.
