My guest is artist, painter Scott Holloway returning for a 2nd interview. I so love Scott's painterly use of language. Discover Scott's art at: https://scottrholloway.com/home.html
Scott provided an image of his painting for this episode with the following notes:
"I found that painting of Ray the other day going through some 70’s art work. I realized that he was the first trans person I’d ever met. A beautiful Japanese boy with long hair. He wanted me to pretend that he didn’t have male genitalia, and didn’t want them acknowledged. I didn’t understand. I had never experienced it. This was when I lived in Mendocino. We spent some time together. Later I was told that he had overdosed on drugs. The painting was done by memory.  I mentioned him in a text to a mutual friend from that time. I don’t know what pronoun she would have used I wish she was still here to tell me. Ray is mentioned in “Beaujolais is in My Blood- growing up gay and well fed above a family run French Restaurant”

My guest is Mental Health Counselor Dan Cooper.
http://dactherapy.com/
email:  [email protected]

Dan referenced an earlier episode where I interviewed Barry Morrison.
As a reference to the places where my friendship began with Dan, The Grail Men's weekend and The Discipline of Freedom workshop:
The Discipline of Freedom is an artist workshop. The workshop is limited to 9 participants and includes artists from all disciplines who are open and willing to develop and improve themselves. The workshop is led by Paul Oertel and his wife Nancy Spanier. Paul and Nancy are world class teachers with long rich histories in the performing arts:  dance, choreography, theatre, acting, voice, film and piece-making.

The Discipline of Freedom is more than just an artist workshop. It is also a gathering of souls searching for deeper knowing. Usually this is offered in or adjacent to a destination of amazing beauty and historical significance. There is a profound opportunity for transformation and a high likelihood of facing yourself and your fears. The experience is an invitation into a radical exploration of your own creativity and depth.
