Waylon talks with Ailey Jolie, who describes herself as a human first, and a psychotherapist second. We discuss maitri, dating culture, communication, and masculinity.

“Most ruptures and harm happens in intimate connection. And so if we are to repair that or restore a sense of resiliency, it’s our relationships that are going to have to change for our life to change, as well.” ~ Ailey Jolie 

This week on Waylon’s “3 Mindful Tips every Friday”: Sidewalk & Road Salt, Fruit Labels, & Mom’s tip about Mail.

"Hey friends, every Friday I share three specific, useful, fun, interesting—at least to me—mindful tips. They're probably kind of nerdy, but they're applicable to our daily lives from a mindful point of view, an eco point of view, and from a point of view of caring about society." ~ Waylon Lewis Read the full article on elephantjournal.com and support independent media.

Waylon talks with Glyphosate Girl Kelly Ryerson. We discuss the dangers of glyphosate, alternative healthy organic pesticides, and Monsanto.

"When when glyphosate first came out, in those early days before it was an herbicide, it was actually used to clean  boilers—metal boilers and metal pipes because it could chelate minerals, bind them together. And then you could clean 'em out really easily. So now you apply this to the soil...and it's doing the same thing where it's chelating and binding minerals, making 'em bio-unavailable in our crops.

And we wonder why we're all so nutrient deficient?!" ~ Kelly Ryerson

Waylon talks with publisher, author, activist (and gardener!) Maria Rodale. We'll discuss her humorous and surprising conversations with the spirits of plants and animals via shamanic journeys, as discussed in her new book: Love, Nature, Magic.

"I had been doing shamanic journeying on my own for about 10 years and I was out gardening one day and really annoyed. Totally annoyed by this one weed, right? Mugwort. Like, I wanted to kill it—to the point where I was almost ready to use [Monsanto's poison] Roundup, which is crazy. 

So I decided to do a shamanic journey to see if I could talk to this plant and find out why it was so annoying.

...And that opened up a whole new world for me." ~ Maria Rodale

Debra Silverman, psychotherapist, author, and astrologist, featured Waylon Lewis as a guest in her Astrological Immersion. During their conversation, Debra read Waylon’s astrological chart and they spoke about how Waylon’s life experiences and personal tendencies can be found within it. Learn more about Waylon, and hopefully yourself, by listening in.

Waylon’s chart…

Waylon Lewis: “What I don’t know about astrology could fill the rest of this seminar.” 

Debra Silverman: “Well, that’s perfect because that’s why I’m here.” 

Waylon talks with Cara Cifelli about diet culture/dating/thin privilege/beauty privilege and maitri—the Buddhist path of making friends with ourselves and how we feel about how we look.

“You deserve a partnership where you can relax and be your whole self. A partner who loves and accepts you fully.

So does believing you have to diet and change yourself to find a relationship the best strategy to finding the type of relationship you most desire? Or are you objectifying yourself in the same way you resent being objectified?” ~ @caracarincifelli
