Of Dust & Divinity

Elisabeth Bennett (@enneagram.life), Jerrad Lopes (@dad.tired), and Kaben explore the enneagram through the lens of pain, grief, conflict, and our internal motivations (which sometimes are less than admirable).

Elisabeth Bennett (@enneagram.life) and Jerrad Lopes (@dad.tired) take us into their homes and into their lives as we learn how the Pacific Northwest is creatively adjusting to the reality that pour-over coffee is *really* time-intensive and how they stay authentic as they lead tens of thousands of people every week into a deeper knowing of the soul.

Ariel, Jessie, and Kaben touch briefly on the complications of #metoo and the importance of action as well as words. We also talk about mental health, and what it's like to grow up in a house with someone who is famous.

Jessie, Ariel, and Kaben get distracted talking about working in Hollywood, fighting chronic disease (and exploring the conspiracy theories surrounding them), and what it means to choose to love--through thick and thin.

Molly, Isaac, and Kaben deep-dive into Isaac's story of sexuality, spirituality, and freedom. Isaac opens up about what it means to him to be a queer, Christian, man living in America.

Molly, Isaac, and Kaben talk about being your own boss during quarantine, the tragic mis-match of wage vs impact, the guilt we feel when we know we're going to be okay and know that other's won't be, and we wrap up talking about protests, curfews, and the national guard presence in US cities.

Timira, Chris, and Kaben continue their conversation through racism, processing as white people. We dig into how past failures have opened doors to listen, lament, and change during this time of national outrage around systemic discrimination against black people in America.

Timira, Chris, and Kaben talk about racism -- from the perspective of being three white people doing the internal work, together. The social media “to-dos” are talked about, and we also struggle with when (or whether) to unfollow certain people on social media. We close talking about the power of proximity.

Jon, Christopher, and Kaben dig deep into themselves, how being a driver can hurt relationships, and what is behind the urge to perform.

Jon, Christopher, and Kaben talk about life as control freaks, the responsible use of power and how adding friction to the system and lower police brutality, and wrap up talking about implicit bias and how we as white males are doing the internal work of becoming aware and working through it.
