Poetic Faiths embody soulful practice through ritual participation in mythopoetic art; they are ways of taking as profound that which may not be taken literally.Volume I includes:Aretéanism – a ritualistic path toward personal and communal excellence, inspired by ancient Greek philosophyCREATION – a queer, science-fiction-infused religious response to climate change, mourning the AnthropoceneThe First Church of David Bowie, Phonomancer – a psychedelic blend of role-playing, music and personal developmentThe Orphan Wisdom School – a redemptive practice rooted in knowing history, being claimed by ancestry and working for a time that we won’t live to seeThe Mysterium – an immersive experience of Deep Play guided by 'memento mori ergo carpe diem'—remember death, therefore seize the dayWith a foreword by Professor Carole Cusack and the provocative Cultpunk Manifesto, this collection explores the dynamic intersection of ceremony, art and philosophy in the search for metamodern meaning.Book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DV92J27NBlog: https://cultpunk.artTags: Howl in the Wilderness Brian James #podcast #brianjames #hitw #psychology #depthpsychology #spirituality #religion #philosophy Hosted on Acast.

Make a one-time contribution to http://paypal.me/brianjamessoulAbi Millar is the author of The Spirituality Gap: Searching for Meaning in a Secular Age. A journalist living in London, she has long gravitated towards subjects with a scientific bent. But she is also a yoga teacher, psychedelics aficionado and tarot enthusiast, who is fascinated by the intersection of spirituality and critical thinking.Abi grew up in an evangelical church, but after losing her faith, she found herself searching for spirituality elsewhere. Torn between the logical part of her brain and the part that secretly believes in magic, she wondered whether her crisis of faith was part of a larger story: at a time when more and more people in the Western world are moving away from organised religion, what does spirituality look like?In The Spirituality Gap, she tries out 12 different practices ranging from ayahuasca to astrology, reiki to raves. Throughout, she asks how can we embrace ritual in our own lives even if we are wary of religion? And how can secular Westerners channel our spiritual impulses while avoiding the traps of pseudoscience or cultural appropriation?Check out Abi's work: https://linktr.ee/abimillarwritesTags: #psychedelic #therapy #psychology #spirituality Brian James Howl in the Wilderness Hosted on Acast.

Make a one-time contribution to http://paypal.me/brianjamessoulWhen Donald Trump spoke the phrases "Manifest Destiny" and "Golden Age" in his inauguration speech, he was invoking fantasies that are at the very core of the American psyche, going all the way back to Christopher Columbus who was convinced he was chosen by God to fulfill ancient prophecies and save Christianity before the Apocalypse.In the conversation with Turkish-American cultural critic, author and depth psychologist Ipek Burnett, we delve into the myths and fantasies that have captured the American psyche since the beginning.İpek S. Burnett, PhD, is a Turkish-American author who provides a depth psychological critique of social, cultural, and political issues. Based in San Francisco, she serves on the boards of nonprofit organizations and foundations that specialize in social justice, human rights, and democracy. Born and raised in Istanbul, Turkey, Burnett came to the United States to get a bachelor’s degree from Brown University in Modern Culture & Media and International Relations. She received her master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from California Institute of Integral Studies. She got a second masters and doctorate degree in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. Though her academic work remains rooted in the field of psychology, Burnett’s writing has always had a cultural and critical edge, expanding on a range of topics—xenophobia to racism, militarism to materialism. Burnett is the author of A Jungian Inquiry into the American Psyche: The Violence of Innocence and the editor of Re-Visioning the American Psyche: Jungian, Archetypal, and Mythological Reflections. She is a contributing writer at CounterPunch and a published novelist, essayist, and poet in Turkey.Links:https://www.ipekburnett.com/A Jungian Inquiry into the American Psyche: The Violence of InnocenceRe-Visioning the American Psyche: Jungian, Archetypal, and Mythological ReflectionsJames Hillman: Politics of FeelingJames Hillman: A Terrible Love of WarOperation Newspeak Hosted on Acast.
