Episode notes

Jonathan Pageau is a French Canadian icon carver, public speaker and YouTuber exploring the symbolic patterns that underlie our experience of the world, how these patterns emerge and come together, manifesting in religion, art and in popular culture. He's also the editor of the Orthodox Arts Journal and host of the Symbolic World blog and podcast.

I was looking for someone to talk about Spiritual Captial, and was not disappointed. We talk about how money should be thought of as pure potential, how borrowing “accelerates time” and “pulls from the future.” We also discuss how you can get stuck worshiping the potential of money and forget the more important goals in life.

An absolutely fascinating conversation with Jonathan Pageau.

BIOGRAPHY: Jonathan Pageau graduated with distinction from the Painting and Drawing program at Concordia University in Montreal during the late 1990s. Quickly disillusioned with contemporary art, he discovered icons and traditional Christian images along his own spiritual journey. Rekindling his love of art through study of traditional forms, Jonathan developed a passion for wood carving. Having studied Orthodox Theology and Iconology at the University of Sherbrooke, since 2003 Jonathan has been carving different types of liturgical objects. His carvings have been commissioned by churches, bishops, priests and laypeople in the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia. He has participated is several exhibitions of icons and teaches icon carving with Hexamaeron. He is also an editor at the Orthodox Arts Journal.
