Islands of Coherence

Here's a major update for the future of this platform. We are now laying the '21st Century Vitalism' show to rest and ushering in a new chapter for the broadcast. I'm very excited to announce the newest iteration of this effort, 'Islands of Coherence'. Stay tuned for more updates and episode releases. 

Joining us on the show for this episode is graphic designer, cartographer, and smellwalk guide, Dr. Kate Mclean. Kate's work is at the intersection of human-perceived smellscapes, cartography, and the communication of 'eye-invisible' sensed data. She uses a range of media including digital design, watercolor, animation, and sculpture to encourage and stimulate people to consider smell in new ways.

Joining us on the show today is renowned psychedelic expert, facilitator, and author, Zach Leary! For this conversation we explore the when, where, how, and why of incorporating psychedelics into your journey of self-inquiry and healing. Having sat with hundreds of individuals in their own medicine journeys as well as partaking in hundreds of personal voyages through the psychedelic space, Zach’s unique perspective captures both the immense healing potential as well as the broader mystical implications in a way that nobody else does.

Joining us on the show this week is the parkour teacher, martial artist, and founder of Evolve, Move, Play - Rafe Kelley. Having spent 20 years exploring diverse movement practices, Rafe has gone on to create a system which combines parkour, connecting with the natural world, and building community through intentional interactions. In this conversation, we explore how we can create a deeper sense of embodied living through movement.

Joining us on the show for this episode is the Australian academic, author, and Indigenous thinker, Tyson Yunkaporta. His work explores Indigenous knowledge systems and their relevance to contemporary global challenges, including sustainability, education, and systems thinking.

New Episode of the 21st Century Vitalism Podcast is out now!

Joining us on the show this week is musician and educator, Anthony Thogmartin (@earthcrymusic). Most known for his work in the American livetronic band, Papadosio, and his side project Earthcry. Anthony is also the founder of the online education platform Seed To Stage, where he teaches a global community how to produce music using the Ableton software. In this conversation, we explore the interconnected nature of the polycrisis that our shared world is facing. With topics ranging from A.I technology, world economic systems, and utilizing art to create lasting change; we delicately weave a thread through many of the day’s issues as well as their respective antidotes.

This week's episode of the 21st Century Vitalism podcast is with the founding teacher of the Metta Group, George Haas. In this conversation we explore his work of combining Buddhist meditation practice with cutting edge attachment strategy repair protocols. Drawing on over 40 years of teaching this material, George’s approach to helping students heal from their attachment injuries has been clinically proven to be effective and deeply transformational. Outside of his full schedule of one on one sessions and weekly classes, he’s also the host of a podcast called, ‘I Love You, Keep Going’, which explores these topics in great detail.
