Public Space Dialogue: "Cognitive Ecology"

Date & Time: January 30th, 2026

Synopsis:

In this episode of Public Space, we sit down with author Sher Griffin to explore the groundbreaking ideas behind her new book, Cognitive Ecology: Mapping Your Mind for Self-Understanding. Sher introduces us to the mind as a dynamic, living ecosystem — one shaped by memory, emotion, environment, habit, trauma, imagination, and the stories we tell ourselves. Rather than treating thought as a mechanical process, Cognitive Ecology offers a nuanced, compassionate framework for understanding how our inner landscapes evolve and how we can learn to navigate them with greater clarity. Sher’s approach is accessible, deeply human, and rooted in both psychological insight and lived experience. Whether you’re moving through transition, seeking greater self-awareness, or simply curious about the invisible structures shaping your thoughts, this conversation offers a powerful guide to understanding the landscapes within. Join us for a thoughtful exploration of how to see your mind differently — and how that shift can transform the way you live.

Public Space Dialogue: "Embodying The Goddess"

Date & Time: January 10th, 2026

Synopsis:

In this episode of Public Space, we sit down with author, educator, and yoga therapist Cynthia Abulafia for a powerful conversation on embodiment, healing, and spirituality beyond rigid frameworks. Drawing from her Shakta-tantra lineage and her upcoming book, Embodying the Goddess, Cynthia invites us to reconsider the role of the body as central—not peripheral—to the spiritual path. Together, we explore how patriarchal and transcendence-oriented spiritual systems have often severed seekers from their bodies, intuition, and lived experience. Cynthia names this pattern as “transcendence bias” and offers a trauma-informed, compassionate response rooted in non-dual traditions, subtle body anatomy, movement science, and breath-based practices.

Public Space Dialogue: "Embracing Paradox"

Date & Time: December 29th, 2025

Synopsis:

In this episode of Public Space, we sit down with author Prashanthi Amarnath to explore the subtle power of paradox and the Taoist teachings that shape her debut book, Embracing Paradox.

Raised within multiple belief systems and trained as an engineer, Prashanthi brings a grounded, thoughtful approach to spirituality — one that blends ancient wisdom with the daily realities of work, family, and inner growth. Together, we explore how Taoist principles like Wu Wei, openness, and reflective awareness can help us meet uncertainty with clarity and compassion.

This conversation invites listeners to rethink the role of paradox in modern life — not as a source of confusion, but as a pathway to balance, resilience, and gentle transformation. Through practical rituals, lived insight, and a deep respect for the Tao Te Ching, Prashanthi illuminates how simple shifts in perspective can open space for peace amid constant change.
