Happy New Year! Here are the most listened to episodes of Life is a Festival woven into a single narrative arch.
This week's show has three movements. We start with festivals as transformational incubators and discuss the creation of these spaces for personal growth, from psychedelic origin stories, through decentralized gatherings to the intersection of safe, sexy and silly. In the second movement we discuss the life of the artist and how to create, grow and serve as a creative. Finally we move into pretty deep philosophic territory with healing ancestral trauma through psychedelic medicine, a debate on impermanence, a critique of conscious culture and finally how to follow your erotic destiny.
My deep gratitude to everyone who made this show a success, most of all Ari Anderson, the producer who helped me launch the show, Andy McErlean, my multimedia design partner who creates the graphics that make my guests look like superheroes and Atish, guest off the show and composer of Particular Colors, the beautiful track you hear at the beginning of each episode.
And most of all YOU, the listener, for being interested in this culture and may we all grow together through fabulous self-experimentation in 2020!
