Stories and Insights on the age old question: What do I want to do with my life?
Although they may resist the title, I claim Stephen Jenkinson and Kimberly Ann Johnson as great teachers of mine. One pearl of wisdom that their words invoke in me is to live and die remembering that it will end. I looked forward to this conversation for years - knowing that I would eventually get to sit across the table from Stephen. And now, it has passed. It came and went. I sit, wondering - what if I'd said this or that. I can hear Stephen's voice in my ear, reminding me: let it be. This moment has ended. Maybe there will come another time that we sit across the table from one another. But for now, let's say Amen.
We danced with our bodies, and then we danced with words. A morning tea-time conversation with Wren LaFeet (dear friend & mentor) and LaVina D'Anjolell (my beloved fiance, spiritual advisor, and business partner). What a range of topics in this episode! Conscious uncoupling, attachment theory, polyamory, dance culture, safe spaces... Take your time with this one. Drop me a line if you feel called: Haribo@lovingpresence.life

We're back! After a long hiatus, Haribo is back on the podcast game. Here is a little intro episode to clue y'all in as to where I'm at in my life - what's bringing me back to the podcast game, and where I see this 3rd incarnation of the podcast going. If you're just tuning in, I recommend you scroll back and check out the previous episodes. There are some great interviews and monologues. And it will be cool for you to see how this podcast has evolved over the years.
The hot cup of tea with the mountains in the background... This image, for me, captures an experience of comfort. I have the time, energy, and resources to enjoy a hot cup of tea in the morning while watching the sun rise above the mountains. Despite all of the turmoil in the world right now, I'm very comfortable-- with all of my basic needs met and then some. This episode explores how to process feelings of empathy and privilege. I feel safe and secure. Can I now offer support to others in order to help them feel safe and secure? How can I offer support in ways that will be truly meaningful-- while recognizing our individual differences and our universal commonalities.
Although Richard may hesitate to accept this title, I feel as though he is an emissary of true wisdom on healing from the Mayan World of Lake Atitlan. As you'll hear in this podcast, he has had profound experiences in giving, receiving, and exchanging healing energy. He does, however, not consider himself a healer. One idea discussed in this interview is that healing occurs from within. True, plants contain chemicals that alter our physiology. And it's true that some individuals can initiate healing in others. As Richard explains in this episode and in his book Natural Healing: Journey to the Mayan World of Atitlan, one's ability to heal is inextricably linked with the power of the mind- the will to survive and an openness to believe. Richard's books can be found on Amazon. I've just acquired the entire trilogy on Lake Atitlan: recommended reading to anyone interested in natural healing, Mayan culture, and the power of the mind.
