Welcome to the Tarka Journal Podcast. In this podcast, Tarka’s Editor-in-Chief Stephanie Corigliano and Editorial Director Jacob Kyle have conversations with colleagues and with each other about topics explored in the Tarka Journal and about topics from the broader landscape of yoga, dharma, and contemplative and religious studies. Tarka is a quarterly journal that explores yoga philosophy, contemplative studies, and the world’s wisdom and esoteric traditions. The journal’s guiding mission is to dissolve the institutionzlied boundaries between scholarly, devotional, and embodied methods, in an effort to forge a new paradigm of cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural research and practice.

Stephanie and Jacob are joined by Tarka Journal Art Director Ryan Lamere to discuss why art is so important to Tarka. We also discuss the relationship between creativity and spiritual practice, some of the history behind the art in Tarka, as well as sharing some of the challenges we've encountered along the way.

In the second episode, we go behind the scenes of the existing Tarka Journal issues. We talk about the scholar-practitioner, bhakti, illusion, ecology, queer dharma, virtual reality, death and much more, never mincing words as we pontificate wildly about current personal and cultural concerns that inspire the Tarka Journal Project.
