FAR OUT #209 ~ Preparing for Hard Conversations

Summary: This is a hard episode to publish. Often times we are asked to let go of the old before the new can be born. On the final episode of FAR OUT we share why we feel it's time to let go of FAR OUT. Deep thanks to everyone who has been a part of this wonderful journey. Support this podcast:Discount link to purchase organic, raw ceremonial-grade cacao ethically sourced in Guatemala (a portion of proceeds support this podcast)Connect with us:Website: www.thefarout.lifeEmail us at [email protected] Within @ www.thewildwithin.orgCredits:Intro music: "Complicate ya" by Otis McDonaldOutro music: "Running with wise fools" written & performed by Krackatoa (www.krackatoa.com)

Summary: When we began apprenticing with ayahuasqueros three years ago, we stepped into a period of intensive training. That training has deepened and broadened over the past year to include other supportive and complementary modalities including men's and women's work, vision quests and for Alasdair, recently beginning a year-long training in Hakomi, a somatic psychotherapy. Mentioned on this episode:IllumanRichard RohrFAR OUT 197 ~ How Do We Raise Healthy Men?Upcoming Free Wild Within Online EventsAnimas Valley InstituteFAR OUT #207 ~ A March Recap: Desert Vision Quest, Women's Tantra Retreat & Medicine Work in the RainforestFAR OUT #97 ~ Your Body is not the Obstacle, It's the Way: Will Johnson on the Posture of MeditationRachelle Garcia Seliga Hakomi Support this podcast:Discount link to purchase organic, raw ceremonial-grade cacao ethically sourced in Guatemala (a portion of proceeds support this podcast)Become a patron at: https://www.patreon.com/thefaroutcoupleMake one-time donation with PayPal (our account is [email protected])Leave a review on iTunes!Share this episode with a friend! :DConnect with us:Website: www.thefarout.lifeEmail us at [email protected] Within @ www.thewildwithin.orgCredits:Intro music: "Complicate ya" by Otis McDonaldOutro music: "Running with wise fools" written & performed by Krackatoa (www.krackatoa.com)

Summary: As a culture we avoid talking about, expressing or feeling our anger. The closest we often get to it is saying we feel "frustrated" or "irritated." This inevitably leads to it spilling out sideways in unhealthy and unconscious ways. It also keeps us disconnected from a potent and vital source of energy. In this episode, we face our anger head on and discuss how we work with this tricky and powerful emotion.Support this podcast:Discount link to purchase organic, raw ceremonial-grade cacao ethically sourced in Guatemala (a portion of proceeds support this podcast)Become a patron at: https://www.patreon.com/thefaroutcoupleMake one-time donation with PayPal (our account is [email protected])Leave a review on iTunes!Share this episode with a friend! :DConnect with us:Website: www.thefarout.lifeEmail us at [email protected] Within @ www.thewildwithin.orgCredits:Intro music: "Complicate ya" by Otis McDonaldOutro music: "Running with wise fools" written & performed by Krackatoa (www.krackatoa.com)
