I invite my favorite Norwegian occultist acupuncturist veterinarian, Are Thoresen, back on the show to encounter materialism and see where it falls short. Time, space, physics, animal communication, healing... nothing is off the table in this episode.

I talk with wildlife biologist and the co-host of my favorite podcast, Tooth & Claw, about what happens when animals attack people, and why it makes for such a good story. The second episode in my series of episodes on how science and scientific concepts intersect with our lives.

AEWCH 261: WES LARSON / TOOTH & CLAW PODCAST on WHY ARE WE SO FASCINATED BY ANIMAL ATTACKS?

In the first episode in a series of episodes about how scientific concepts intersect with our lives in surprising ways, I talk with author of In Light Years There's No Hurry, Marjolijn van Heemstra about the way that conceptualizing space differently can heal and transform us in the face of the challenges that confront us today.

AEWCH 260: MARJOLIJN VAN HEEMSTRA on HOW CAN THE EXPANSIVENESS OF SPACE HELP US LIVE TODAY?

On this challenging episode, I talk with author and psychoanalyst Avgi Saketopoulou about how to reframe what trauma is, and how to think beyond consent.

AEWCH 259: AVGI SAKETOPOULOU on WHAT ARE THE LIMITS OF CONSENT & TRAUMA?

On Thursday, March 28, myself and journalist & organizer UNA MULLALLY, presented the event THE BEGINNING IS NEAR in Dublin, where we talked about the end of the world and what comes after that. It marked in person with frequent AEWCH guests, philosopher and activist SREĆKO HORVAT, and cultural critic and writer MARK O'CONNELL. 
The event marked Srećko's first speaking engagement in Ireland, and also my first attempt at creating an "AEWCH event" in Ireland. I'd love to do many more.
The night was broken into halves: first, we talked about apocalypse. Then we had a short break and spoke about renewal. What arose was a challenging set of indications and prospects, failures and pathways.
Some questions that came up:

 Is the apocalypse always happening?

 What does the esoteric tell us about how to live beyond apocalypse?

 What is the role of art in renewal?

 Why is it important to evade the political realm?

  What is the use of hope?


Enjoy the episode!



AEWCH 258: SREĆKO HORVAT, UNA MULLALLY, MARK O'CONNELL on APOCALYPSE & RENEWAL

On this personal, spiritual, and worldly episode, I talk with spiritual teacher and writer Lisa Romero - using events in my own life - about how turning point in our lives, and our relationships, can offer opportunities to help the world's development... if we work through them properly.
