Chris is an author, speaker, and storyteller who has spent years exploring the art of living with less. His approach is humble, insightful, direct, and necessarily simple. Today we talk about his personal journey into minimalism—starting with material possessions and expanding into the day-to-day realities of professional life, including the inner realms of thought and emotion; how his message has evolved to resonate with those who need it most, how we might be able to escape the frenetic busyness many of us have come to accept as inevitable, and more.

Boyan explores life from a non-dual (non-)perspective, moving along his path toward unity while guiding others to move along their paths as well.

This is our second published conversation. Barak remains a kind of phenomenon, a creative force who channels curiosity, compassion, and insight in often surprising ways. Unique, gentle, and sincere. Today our conversation delves into the dimensions of time and consciousness, compassion and service to others, the development of models and language to better understand oneself, shamanism, cultural maturity, the various layers of human experience, psychedelics, dancing, and more. Primal Nature is a podcast and center for psychedelic therapy in rural Spain.   We offer therapy for individuals and couples, as well as workshops, retreats, and expeditions in select locations throughout Europe, the Americas, and Africa. www.primalnature.euInsta: @existential.hormesis

Maybe the best way to describe Barak is as a kind of phenomenon, a creative force who channels curiousity, compassion, and insight in often surprising ways. He is a keen observer and playful participant. Unique. Gentle. Sincere. Today our conversation dances around the limits of thought and emotion, feeling and intelligibility; trauma, awareness, agency, psychedelics, spirit, demons, individual uniqueness and some of the deeper substrates of what we like to call reality. This felt at times like a game of existential tag. Primal Nature is a podcast and center for psychedelic therapy in rural Spain.  We offer therapy for individuals and couples, as well as workshops, retreats, and expeditions in select locations throughout Europe, the Americas, and Africa. www.primalnature.euInsta: @existential.hormesis

Richard Whall is Senior Lecturer in Human Movement, thoughtfully exploring ways to develop our physical intelligence and define what it might actually mean to be physically educated. Today we talk about the biotensegrity model and how it helps us to conceptualize the bodymind as a unified whole; we talk about the difficulties faced when trying to capture the complexity of these matters in scientific language, how personal practice can inform more abstract investigation, and more.

Jason leads a nomadic life, traveling through Europe with his homemade bike and guitar; with uncommon grace he manages to balance gentle thoughtfulness and raw grit, with many other qualities besides. I picked him up on the side of the road when he was in a tough situation, and we ended up sharing a few days together on the farm. Today we talk about his travels and what drives him to move; we share stories about the ways in which we have each found solace in the challenges unfettered nature provides, and the search for balance between freedom and connection.Primal Nature is a podcast and center for psychedelic therapy in rural Spain. We work primarily with people who have reached the limits of what rational analysis can offer in terms of healing or growth; our practice is centered on cultivating deeper relationships between feeling and understanding, body and mind, human and nature.

Soten is a dedicated practitioner and teacher of meditation, as well as avid long-distance runner. He was the first person to sign up for the first ever Persistence Race, in which we will be running 150km through the Kalahari with the world’s last remaining persistence hunters. Today we talk about his meditative path and how it intersects with long-distance running, psychedelics, and more; we discuss his exploration of ancestral wisdom and the body as a vehicle for transcending the various mental patterns we tend to confuse for reality. The first ever Persistence Race will take place September 2024.
