Our good friend Scott Picard (www.scottpicard.com) joins us on the podcast to discuss his passion for using the body and movement to gather insight into the myriad complexities of the human condition. The first half of the podcast covers this work and the second half we talk about Scott's experience of nearly dying of kidney failure and his journey back from death's door. Some topics that we cover include:

• Personal Transformation
• Addiction: Alcohol & Sex
• Sexual energy
• Pain
• Going into the dark, the murk, the shadow, the jungle
• Terror and fear while staring death in the face and being willing to die
• The power of Love when fully given and fully received
• What it feels like to have multiple friends offer to give you one of their kidneys and the emotional roller coaster of having it not work out on multiple occasions
• How a friend's willingness to risk her life to save Scott's lead to the early detection of cancer in her body
• Coming together as a community to save a life and building faith in humanity through times of crises
• Finally matching with a donor and what motivates someone to donate a kidney
