We're taking a two-month summer break from the podcast! We'll be back in September :) Today, we explore the fears that visit us on the path we're choosing for ourselves and draw inspiration from the way of the bodhisattva.

We're finally moving out of the truck camper! We share where we're moving and how it came about. This leads into a discussion about how one of the keys to solving complex problems is being willing to stay with them longer.

We discuss the value of podcasting weekly for almost four years, avoiding burnout, different stages of growing a business, keeping a daily practice and cultivating the qualities of a warrior (rather than a soldier) in all aspects of our life.

We explore our working definition of the alchemical process and how it shows up in the ritual spaces we hold.

Julie-Roxane shares what it was like to drink ayahuasca with her mom. Alasdair and Julie-Roxane explore the value in using different metaphors for our life's work like work as a territory rather than a hierarchy. They discuss the multiplier effect, curiosity as a divine spirit and the loneliness we must grapple with when embracing our soul's work.

Freshly fueled by cacao, your cohosts discuss when it makes sense in the entrepreneurial journey to question old choices and trade in freedom for efficiency. They discuss the apparent lack of free will in living an aligned life and the difficult work we must do to even be able to recognize when we are living out of alignment.

Fresh off leading back-to-back retreats, Alasdair and Julie-Roxane reflect on the energetic workout retreats offer, why they are so powerful, the demands of holding alchemical containers, and the ways they see their work evolving.

Alasdair's self-described "fall from grace" has the Far Out couple musing on the archetype of the generative king. They discuss apprenticeship and what they've seen as the most effective way to establish oneself in a new vocation that may otherwise be hard to enter and some of the pitfalls that can occur.

We discuss our recent experimentation with diet and why these days we are very careful to avoid "diet theory" and try to focus on what our body says. This leads into a broader discussion on the dangers of dogma and identifying ourselves with an ideology.

We discuss the stages we go through before and after we realize we need to ask for help, the process of finding help, what to look for when hiring expertise, and other things that come up when we realize we can't go it alone.
