  • Potion Mage Potion
    Jul 21 2025

    In this episode Sascha and I explore what it's like to interact with reality mediated by different kinds of brains.

    We realized that one good way to describe our current experience is this: Sascha is a potion mage and I am a potion. This feels just right to me. I revel in her jars and shelves, feel grateful for my tremendous luck this time around and move off in the world more self aware and oriented.

    Along the way we discuss lions and panthers, spiders and iguanas, orb creatures, horses and Melon bank.

    We hope you find some expansiveness in this romp through a few of the endless ways to be consciously incarnate.

  • Play is Serious Work
    Jun 15 2025

    In this episode Laura and I talk about the importance of play and a reminder that everything ends anyway, so perhaps let's open ourselves up to play and creation.

    We talk about the beautiful humming that can arise with the serious work that is play. We talk about insights gained from playing with Kate Drummond of The Energetic Heart, The Little Feminist Farm in Georgia, and Working Class Acupuncture in Portland, among others.

    We play in real time with ideas about silent long-houses, sandwiches, meet ups for future fictive kin, and hammock groves.
