Ruwando Podcast

Josh Hatcher of Manlihood and I connected earlier this summer to discuss about man stuff. But once I found out he was a father of four adults (and grandfather), I had to pick his brain on his role in his family.

Here’s a video preview of our talk. (Full episode is in audio/podcast only)

I was raised both Buddhist and Catholic. Neither really stuck.

I spent my twenties being “spiritual but not religious”. And otherwise prioritizing individuality over cultural constraints.

However for the first time as an adult, I’m seeing the value of traditional religion.

I don’t think I’m alone in that. Global culture is at an inflection point. After centuries of moving towards secularism, many seem to be returning to tradition.

Especially for those interested in personal development, religion may be the next unexpected step.

Sexual desire is one of the few places where individual nature will hold out against collective culture. (Comedy being the other big one.)

Most of my life I’ve been focused on the importance of individual expression over collective “oppression.” My explorations in sexuality have been a part of that.

But lately (since having a family) I’ve been seeing the great value of the other side— there’s a lot to be gained from “belonging” to a greater framework, even at the expense of some individuality.

So I was particularly interested in speaking with Yuval.

Yuval is a sex educator who came from a Orthodox Jewish background. We speak about the tradeoff of sex and culture, taboos in human relating, and other interesting threads.

I’m joined by my friend Vicente, one of the psychotherapists who run Iboga Quest, an ibogaine treatment center in Mexico. This conversation was shortly after I attended one of his retreats. We speak about mindfulness, plant medicine, psychotherapy, and how to change your mind.
