Alex Ebert & Daniel Thorson - Shadows of Western Spirituality

Alex is the lead of Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros. Daniel is the Head of Curriculum at the Monastic Academy in Vermont. I got these two together to jam on the dark side of modern spirituality, and more specifically, the shadows behind mindfulness, meditation and eastern spirituality practices in the west. It is an incredible dialogue between these two, one that I did my best to stay out of the way of. We talk about Westernized Buddhism, spirituality in a capitalistic paradigm, transcending the fear of death, industrial strength meditation, Jordan Hall, status anxiety and so much more.
