Ep 27: Meditation by TRUTH BANGERS

What was intended to be a conversation around the genesis of rap in this country ended up being an open dialogue about Carl Rogers, how to listen, our soundness and inferiority complex as a nation, Blindboy’s journey towards sharing his mental health journey and what the future holds.

B’Jaysus! Ep 25, a lovely milestone and it’s as juicy a Banger as they come.

Big changes have happened in our lives and are happening in the world.

We dive deep on what is friendship and it’s importance.

We no longer work together in an official capacity. That may sound bad/sad but you’ll hear that it ain’t so as we are friends to the core & navigators to the core.

Blessings to everyone as we all continue to navigate our paths

This episode was recorded on the eve of 2019, almost 18 months ago. Due to the nature of the conversation we were not ready to share at the time but are now and feel that plant medicine and mushroom medicine work and conversation are crucial to our collective healing journey.

Mark is joined by Rob Coffey. Rob is a psychotherapist (pre-accredited), co-founder of InwardBound, a psychedelic retreat company, and a professional outdoor guide.

His new venture InwardBound facilitate retreats in Holland using psilocybin to help people explore their consciousness and to support them in their personal and spiritual healing and growth.

Mark and Rob discuss the work of InwardBound, the terrain of psychedelic experiences, the importance of integration with the discussion opening up with sharing from the audience.

This conversation was recorded in front of a live audience at H&G’s New Years Eve Party in 2018.

We are in a crisis right now and the suffering is real. The fact that people are losing loved ones is truly sad.

However, it’s also real to ask what new insights and ways of looking at the world are emerging?

Do we want to go back to normal? Have we seen things/ways of being during this time that we want to bring into the new normal?

In the midst of the pandemonium we have a new Banger for you which we hope can be a therapeutic distraction from the noise.

Both of us were in India at the beginning of the year. We discuss Vipassana meditation, the nature of awareness and tales of navigating the land.

With our beautiful new audio listening experience & set up we get stuck into the (perceived) most difficult thing we are likely to face as human beings. We also wrap 2019 and look ahead to what 2020 holds.

We delved into absolutely everything from self development to stand-up, wet dreams, ISIS and social media traps with comedian and rural Irish hard man Owen, aka Buzz.

In this episode we explore Caelinn’s journalism, from the civil war in Syria to sex workers in South Africa.

We also discuss Caelinn’s first book; Republic of Shame. How the catholic church and Irish government collaborated to separate unmarried women from their babies and the devastating treatment of these women and their children. The truth of this past is still being repressed and hidden today, huge respect to Caelinn for shining a light on this
