this is my first scratch attempt at putting together this podcast. It turned out too raunchy, unfocused and missing a few details that are supposed to be included in a first episode. So I decided to put it aside as a treat for eraly subscribers and Patreon supporters. if it piques your interest, let me know and I will send you an early access link. 

Malik Work, Actor, Rapper, Director and Griot tells us a bit about his the rawards of teaching people in prisons communications skills through Shakespeare and Hip Hop.

He shares some reminiscences about his time as 'The Guy' keeping things in order at the now infamous 'NUBLU' a nightspot in New York's Alphabet City.

And how his Hip Hop group 'The real live show" ultimately led him to start his own solo Theater show, which led him to perform in historical performance spaces far from home.

Last but not least he elaborates on the Pinkster Festival and it's historical and cultural significance for African Americans.

In this episode Roderick j Wolgamott AKA Rodrigo Romero opens up about his life as a musician and poet, tree house designer and builder and intimate friend to some fairly well know personalities from the echelons of pop culture and Hollywood. A life with many ups and downs, a trajectory of anpredictable outcomes and self inflicted turns and twists that I believe can serve as an example of how making choices and working through the consequences of those choices makes a life truly authentic and genuinely well lived, regardless of the tough outcomes that may have resulted from some of those choices.

I really appreciate the openness and honesty that Rodrick brought to the table and I hope that the listener will refrain from judgement and dismissal of some of the more controversial subjects we touched upon in this interview in favor of an appreciation for the intimacy and deep insights that he has allowed us with baring his life's trials and tribulations in such a deep and soul searching fashion. your feedback and comments are highly appreciated, please keep them as honest and forthcoming as the matters discussed in this episode and feel free to join the conversation in a spirit of playful investigation, open minded inquisitiveness and artistic expression.

The official launch episode of the 'Chai tea to Tai Chi' Podcast is scaling back the veil of hallucination a bit to have a look at what's under the hood. 

We playfully explore possibilities of balancing our work and life through the five elements, in harmony with the requirements of life. 

The occasion of the Crow Super Moon in two weeks gives room for reflection on how to relate those cycles of nature to our daily grind.

And we reflect on the gratitude and sense of service that comes with walking your own way, speaking your mind freely and standing up for what's good.

Thank you for embarking on this journey with us.

 

Does your life’s content make you happy?

Being aware of your body is a Mediation Practice.

So is cleaning the floor and doing the dishes, 
taking cold showers and making tea and hot chocolate.
lighting a candle, copying and labeling files,
balancing the books, making unpleasant calls,
motorcycle maintenance and air travel ….

In other words….

Take a minute, breathe out and massage your ears to tap into your sources.

Sitting in Zen is being awake, even for 2 minutes. Done.

Over consumption is real. No matter if it's food, drugs, alcohol, work, gaming, the smartphone or the constant need for connection. The addiction rate is rising but a lot of misery comes from people being pre occupied with their own little indulgences. Meditation can become a vehicle for self abuse when it is done at a loss of social contacts, proper nutrition and regular exercise for example.
