This week on Synchronicity I'm joined by artist and wonderful human, Jamie Gaviola. Jamie draws inspiration for her art via meditation, aboriginal dreaming, fractals, spiritual architecture, geometry, quantum mechanics, Carl Jung, cymatics, micro organisms, & nano-technology, nature, and inspired texts describing unity. So yeah, right in the Synchronicity wheelhouse. A big part of our conversation revolves around grace. Grace is a difficult subject/word/concept for a lot of people...myself included. It's hard to describe what grace is (and no I'm not talking about being a technically proficient ballerina) but the fact is, I know it when I see it. Or should I say, I know grace when I experience it. To me the existence of synchronicity is a manifestation of grace. Where grace comes from and how it works, quite frankly, is a mystery. That said, Jamie and I try to unpack this oh so heady concept in this episode.   Connect with Jamie! Instagram.com/JBGART WWW.JAMIEGAVIOLAFINEART.COM

My guest on the latest episode of Synchronicity is founder of the lifestyle website, "The Numinous" AND author of a brand new book (out today!) "Material Girl, Mystical World." Oh and maybe I should mention her name. Ruby Warrington. And Ruby likes to build bridges. Not physical bridges, but bridges between worlds. The bridge she's currently building is between the traditional world we experience in our day-to-day lives and the unseen numinous world. Before I go any further, something numinous is defined as having a strong religious or spiritual quality; indicating or suggesting the presence of a divinity. My kinda word. Last Friday, Ruby and I had a great conversation at her apartment in Williamsburg, primarily about her life in the fashion world, how astrology opened up her world view and how the numinous can be found in every aspect of our lives. Here are a few other topics we cover: - plant medicines - the re-emergence of the divine feminine - the importance of non being too serious - the sacred in the mundane - how to live in a mystical world It was a blast sitting down with Ruby and I strongly encourage you to check out her new book.

I just launched a Patreon page for Synchronicity. If you like the show and want to support it with fiat currency I am totally OK with that. Details here -----> https://www.patreon.com/synchronicity Do you believe in magic? Actually, that's a shitty question and also the name of a Lovin' Spoonful song. Sorry about that. Let me try again. What's your definition of magic?  For me magic is anything that pierces the veil which obscures the true nature of reality. My guest this week is someone who's well accustomed to piercing the veil. For the last fifteen years, Jason has explored the outer reaches of human culture and possibility, through both science fiction and journalistic expeditions into some of the world’s strangest belief systems. My kinda dude. In this episode we talk about magic, magick, occultism, the far-right of the occult world...and honestly, it's a 90 minute conversation what am I gonna list the whole thing out?

Oh hello, This week on Synchronicity I'm joined by art curator and advisor, Sarah Potter. I was introduced to Sarah by our mutual friend, Jennifer Sodini (who is awesome and is coming on the show soon!) and boy oh boy am I glad she tuned us in to each other. In addition to being a wonderful human being, Sarah also resides in he Hudson Valley so we got to do this episode in person. I've spoken about it before, but the in person episodes aways carry a little bit of extra energy and this one is no different. Sarah and I discuss pushing through fear to get to the other side, the power of community and the necessity of kindness in everything we do. I think, nay, I know, you're gonna enjoy this one. Be sure to check out Sarah's upcoming projects over at her website: http://www.sarahpotterprojects.com/

If you're a Netflix subscriber or you're from the UK or you're just really good at torrenting you may have seen a show recently called "The Great British Bake Off." This show unquestionably rules and if you haven't seen it check it out. The reason I bring it up is this week's guest, Cory Allen, is also a fan of "The British Bake Off" which adds to his reputation of guy who likes cool things. If you're a long time listener, you may remember Cory from episode 39. Cory hosts a wonderful podcast called The Astral Hustle which happens to be on MindPod Network . Cory is one of the most grounded, down to earth and easygoing people I've come across in my 33 trips around the sun. In this episode, we talk about putting practices into action when you go through tough times. Basically, when the shit hits the fan what can we actually do that helps? So, yeah. That's this episode. And we talk about the baking show too. Check out Cory over at his website: http://www.cory-allen.com/ and Check out Cory's Meditation Course: Release Into Now

This week on Synchronicity I'm joined by esteemed bodyworker, meditation teacher and mystical powerhouse, Jonathan Foust. Jonathan is a master at approaching pain and suffering and getting to the root causes and functionality of pain. He's also the husband of one of my favorite people, Tara Brach. But back to pain... Pain sucks. Or does it? Well, it does. But it also has a function. Often that function is to bring us into the present moment, even if the present moment isn't particularly pleasant. Confronting our pain be it mental, emotional or physical allows us to loosen its grip. This doesn't mean our pain and suffering instantly go away but it does mean we have a choice in how we respond to pain. Is it easy to use pain as an ally? Hell no. Luckily, Jonathan has been working with the body and various types of pain and suffering for decades and has some real insight into how we can approach our own pain, which by extension, allows us to work with the pain of others. Jonathan is easily one of my favorite guests and I'm already looking forward to our next conversation. The beta run of Creative Evolution is now open for enrollment. For more info and to enroll visit: https://syncpodcast.com/beta/

This week on Synchronicity I'm joined by a bonafide modern day mystic, Kelly Nezat. Kelly is the founder of two wonderful organizations called Soullab and Everyday Shamans. In addition to being incredibly cool, Kelly has spent his life immersing himself in esoteric, mystical, alchemical and shamanic studies. Our conversation revolves around shamanic practices that can be used in our everyday lives, the rising tide of empaths in the world and the collective evolution of our world.

Hope you're right smack dab in the middle of an excellent week. Today's episode of Synchronicity was recorded live in L.A. at the MIND / WAVE event on March 18th. I'll admit to being a little nervous about how the event would turn out, but in the end it couldn't have gone any better. It was such an incredible time meeting so many of the podcasters on MindPod Network for the first time. Being able to put faces to names in 3D reality is never a bad thing. If you missed the event and wanted to attend, we'll be doing more of these very soon. But back to the episode... In this episode, I sat down with Kelly MacLean from The Tao of Comedy and Michael Donovan from Walking Home to discuss spiritual elitism, the meaning of life and the importance of community. It was the highlight my trip (which is really saying something considering how good and cheap the weed is out there!)

A major blizzard is hitting the Northeast (where I am) so I'm writing this in between shoveling shifts which are required because my dog, Maceo, can't go to the bathroom in 3 feet of snow. Man up, Maceo! This week on Synchronicity I'm joined by Diego Perez who writes under the pen name, Yung Pueblo. Yung Pueblo is a writer, speaker, meditator and social activist. He's also one of the easiest people I've ever spoken to, which is saying a lot. In this episode we talk about meditation, the importance of being aware of our internal world and how this awareness ultimately relates to the "out there" world we experience every day. I'm gonna lay down the gauntlet here and say this is a top five episode of Synchronicity.

This week comedic brilliance personified, Tim Heidecker joins me on Synchronicity. Anyone who knows me, knows that I preach the gospel of Tim Heidecker wherever I go. Tim has long been one of my favorite producers of comedy and entertainment so it was an honor to get to chat with him. Our conversation revolves around collaboration, intuition and what the hell is going on in the world today. If you know who Tim is, you're gonna enjoy this one. If you don't know who Tim is, you're still gonna enjoy this one.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT MIND / WAVE L.A is happening. A live MindPod Network event in Los Angeles featuring all of your favorite MindPod podcasters AND special guests. March 18th. Details here --------> https://goo.gl/yWJKN5 Comedian and psychonaut Shane Mauss joins me on Synchronicity this week. Shane is in the midst of a 100-city comedy tour called "A Good Trip" where he combines comedy and science to talk about psychedelics. Pretty cool, right? On this episode we discuss Shane's 90+ DMT experiences and how to approach transcendental experiences as objectively as possible. A nice way to approach this episode is to pretend Shane is the left-brain and I'm the right-brain. Shane's Podcast: "Here We Are" with Shane Mauss Shane's Comedy Tour: A Good Trip

This week on Synchronicity I sit down with one of the coolest people I know, Zach Mack. Zach owns and operates ABC Beer Co., an awesome beer bar and hang out spot in the East Village of Manhattan. Besides running one of New York's best bars Zach is one of the most knowledgeable, curious and optimistic people I've met. I've been meaning to sit down with him and find out what makes him tick for a while so to be able to do it under the guise of Synchronicity was especially fun. We cover a broad range of topics (really, when don't these conversation cover a broad range of topics?) like the meaning of water in dreams, the importance of community, being curious and how to maintain optimism in a time when everything can seem so bleak. The episodes I record in person are always some of my favorites and this is no exception. P.S. I started a Slack Group for Synchronicity listeners. If you don't know what Slack is, it's a mobile and web application that helps facilitate group discussion. To join the Synchronicity Slack group so you can see what all the fuss is about follow this link: Synchronicity Slack Group 

This week's episode is a little bit different. Last week I met up with my friend and MindPod Network compatriot Sean Dunne and his wonderful producer and girlfriend, Cass Greener at their apartment in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Sean and Cass are expert documentarians. Be sure to check out there work over at Very Ape TV, where all of their films are available for free. We partook in the devil's weed and a had a pretty free-form and ranging conversation touching on concepts like music, psychedelics and the current global situation (whatever that means!) One facet of our conversation that I found particularly interesting is when Sean mentioned he thought he could give everything up and become a monk at any time. This touches on the subject of being an ascetic or being "in the world." Anyone who's had some type of transcendental experience has come across the feeling that it might be best to give it all up and head to a cave in the Himalays, but is that the right thing to do? Also, I'd like to point out that 80% of this episode is just me yacking so if you're not into that sorry!

Randy is the former author of "The Ethicist" a column from the New York Times Magazine that dealt with ethical questions and dilemmas from reader submitted questions. Questions like whether a patient about to receive anesthesia should be allowed to refuse an anesthesiologist based on their race. Or if wearing a fur coat inherited by a relative is OK since you didn't buy it. In addition to being an excellent thinker and writer, Randy hosts a wonderful radio show and podcast called "Person, Place, Thing" where he asks each guest to talk about a person, place and thing that's important to them. Great premise, right? Randy and I discuss the current state of the world and while we see similar problems we have very different viewpoints and perspectives on where we're at right now. Person, Place, Thing

Fear. It's something we all deal with in varying degrees almost every day of our lives. Whether it's the fear of going to the dentist, or the fear of rejection or the fear of death all of us know what it's like to be afraid. My guest this week, Mel Stephens, is no stranger to fear herself. In fact, I found out about Mel through her excellent podcast, Fear Based Life, where each episode she explores her own and her guests fears. Mel is an expert at sharing her own vulnerability in a way that helps people. And frankly, people who do that are my favorite type of people. In our discussion this week we speak about the current political climate, our own deep-seeded fears and Mel's struggle with the concept of death. Sit back, strap in and get ready for this weeks Synchronicity with Mel Stephens.

  My guest this week is Jerry Cannon. Jerry is a creative professional and founder of the lifestyle brand Infinite Bit. We talk about empowering artists by creating business models that puts revenue and control back into creator's hands. This is a topic that's dominated my business psyche since I started making money out in the world. Having this conversation with Jerry was both inspiring and illuminating. The Synchronicity Book Club starts Feb. 1, 2017. Join the Synchronicity Facebook Group for more details.

Here's a thought experiment for you: Imagine the worst thing you can possibly think of. Now imagine you actually had to live through whatever scenario your extremely creative brain just came up with. My guest this week had to live out his own nightmare scenario when his wife and mother to his young daughter suddenly was diagnosed with brain cancer. This is a reality few of us can possibly conceive of, let alone have to live through. Daniele Bolleli has been on my radar for a while now but when five friends mentioned his name to me in a week I knew it was time to reach out. In this weeks episode Daniele and I discuss what the function of suffering is and what being "Not Afraid" (the name of Daniele's latest book) really means. Lots of wisdom on how to process difficult experiences from a modern day philosopher. Daniele Bolelli has two excellent podcasts that I highly recommend you check out: The Drunken Taoist History on Fire

The multi-talented Matt Xian stops by Synchronicity to talk art collectives, music and mindfulness. Matt is co-founder of one of my favorite online channels, TIMEWHEEL and is also in the band Something Fiction. TIMEWHEEL is an independent record label, creative studio and artistic platform based in San Antonio, founded in 2013 by a collective of artists to create and celebrate forward-thinking music, art and culture. I first tuned into TIMEWHEEL when a friend shared one of their awesome posts on Facebook and since then I've enjoyed learning more about this digital art collective that includes a record label, web site and various social media channels. In this episode Matt and I delve into the intersection of art and community and specifically how creativity and art are ultimately wonderful maps for tracking consciousness.

She is Founder, Abbot, and Head Teacher of Upaya Institute and Zen Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She received her Ph.D. in medical anthropology in 1973 and has lectured on the subject of death and dying at many academic institutions and medical centers around the world. I've known Roshi for a few years now from my work with her wonderful Zen Center, Upaya. Upaya is a Sanskrit word which translates to skillful means something that Roshi truly embodies. In our chat Joan brings up the importance of balancing engaged activism with non-attachment. Combining her years of activism with her Zen sitting practice gives her a unique and valuable perspective on many the issues facing humanity and the world at-large.

My guest today is meditation teacher and pleasant fellow, Hugh Byrne. Hugh Byrne teaches meditation and works with people to cultivate mindfulness in daily life. His approach is deeply informed by family and culture, human rights and social justice—and the good fortune of encountering Buddhist teachings 30 years ago. Hugh came to meditation when his decades-long career spent remedying human injustice revealed the root cause of conflict that he'd failed to tackle. Hugh came to understand—and know personally—that the anger and fear within us engender harmful behavior. Thus he began the transformational practice and study of Buddhist insight meditation. Topics Discussed The Evolution of Habits How to build effective habits Lizards Brain vs Thinking Brain Khaneman's System 1 and System 2 4 Types of Dissatisfaction Buddhist Psychology and Modern Life Starting with Yourself Mindful Politics Social Activism and Mindfulness We're in the process of selecting a recipient for the Synchronicity Generosity Experiment.

Paul also has his own podcast called, The Freelancer, which you 100% should check out because he drops wisdom bombs like they're going out of style on a regular basis.

He also has way more tattoos than you. (I ripped this little about part from his site so that's how I know he has more tattoos than you.)

The course is on hiatus right now but will be back soon. I'll let you know when it's back because it is great. Just from taking that course I got the sense that: a) Paul really knew what he was talking about b) he genuinely seemed to care about the people he was speaking to c) he seemed like a really awesome person I'd like to talk with. So, I hit him up and he responded and we set up a time to chat and this podcast is the fruit of that (very easy to do) labor.

Well, Davis is the other co-founder. You'll hear it in the episode but Davis has a creative and energetic spirit that is palpable and contagious.

Music Biz legend and all-around smart dude, Danny Goldberg returns to Synchronicity. For those who caught the first episode with Danny you know the episode cut off at the end because the battery on my recorder died. For those of you who didn't listen to that episode, well, now you know too. Danny is one of my favorite people to talk to not only because he's objectively cool and insightful but he's also got a real knack for presenting perspectives that I don't know anything about. Case in point, he makes a compelling case for Hillary Clinton for president (even though he's a Bernie Sanders supporter). And yes, in case the title didn't give it away we get deep down in the muck to talk politics for this episode.

I'm joined today by one of the loveliest and sweetest people I've ever met, Mirabai Starr. Mirabai writes, speaks and leads retreats on the inter-spiritual teachings of the mystics. Known for her revolutionary translations of John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila, and Julian of Norwich, Mirabai renders mystical masterpieces accessible, beautiful, and relevant to a contemporary circle of seekers. Her commentaries on the interconnected wisdom of all traditions are lyrical and evocative. She builds bridges not only between religious traditions, but also between contemplative life and compassionate service, between cultivating an inner relationship with the Beloved and expressing that intimacy in community, between the transformational power of loss and longing for the sacred. She's also experienced a good deal of tragedy and objective suffering in her life, but has come out of those experiences with one of the most refreshing takes on life I've ever witnessed. Mirabai and I talk about the power of suffering, the true meaning of the phrase "dark night of the soul," spiritual crises and turning painful life experiences into powerful transformational experiences. Mirabai has a new book out called, "The Caravan of No Despair: A Memoir of Loss and Transformation." I'm also giving away a brand new copy of Mirabai's book on this episode so listen to the episode for full details. Enter that contest here: http://eepurl.com/bSWrqT As always, Subscribe to Synchronicity on your favorite podcast channels.   Other stuff mentioned in the episode Berning Down the House - Fundraiser  Berning Down the House is a grassroots fundraiser to raise some dollars for Bernie Sanders' 2016 presidential campaign. #berningdowndc The event will bring together a variety of artists, musicians, and advocates who all believe that Bernie Sanders' campaign represents real change in America; a departure from a society and government controlled by the financial elite.

On top of all that (or maybe underneath it all) Kelly is one of the nicest and smartest people I've had the pleasure to speak with. Her thoughts on modern culture, being a spiritual seeker, balancing the dark and the light, investigating the shadow and bringing much needed equanimity to an anything but modern world are just a few examples of what Kelly's about.

My guest today is editor of a wonderful book called, "Zig Zag Zen." More to the point he's also a wonderful human being. In addition to being a wonderful human being Allan is a writer, eco-activist and all-around wise person. We talk about Buddhism, psychedelics, Burning Man and the future of the world. A lot going on in this one. Below is a brief description of "Zig Zag Zen." The use of psychedelic drugs is that dark little secret behind the popular origins of Eastern spirituality in America, but if they really open the mind in the same ways meditative experiences do, why shouldn't they be legitimated and brought out into the open? In Allan Hunt Badiner and Alex Grey's Zig Zag Zen authors, artists, priests, and scientists are brought together to discuss this question. Opinions fall on all sides. Ram Dass, for instance, discusses the benefits as well as the limitations. Rick Strassman outlines his work in the first federally funded psychedelic study in two-and-a-half decades. Rick Fields sets the historical scene. China Galland offers a wrenching personal experience. Robert Jesse introduces the varieties of entheogens, drugs that engender mystical states. Lama Surya Das tells of his early drug years. And a roundtable discussion with Ram Dass, Robert Aitken, Richard Baker, and Joan Halifax caps it all.   Subscribe to Synchronicity today.
