In the fourth episode of The Nature of Invisible Things (TNIT), I am pleased to share my conversation with shayde, the beholder (he/him). shayde and I met in Britten LaRue’s Vulture Coven, a sibling container to The Magician’s Table.

Our conversation explores what beholding is and what it is like to be beheld. We also share what it was like to be in the container together, making connections with other folks and participating in a cooperative exchange. You’ll also get to hear what shayde says about his offering and how it materialized through being present and available to what shows up in community. We also get into authenticity, liberation, how spirituality needs frameworks for shadow work, and how sitting with discomfort creates space for radical acts.

Listening to shayde is such a delight, and I appreciate his joy and love of our human experience.

Welcome, shayde.

Through symbol, speech, and story he turns the soul kaleidoscope to conjure the realms of possibility, proclaim the glory of the incarnate soul, and share the gift of wonder.
