Welcome to episode 88 of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. In this installment, Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and leadership coach/journalist Jo Confino discuss one of the Buddha’s key teachings: the four immeasurable minds. When cultivated, these four qualities – love, compassion, joy, and equanimity – can help heal negative emotions and lead to a more fulfilling, compassionate life. Both hosts share personal stories and insights about how to apply these teachings, and how to help transform suffering and cultivate a deeper understanding and connection with ourselves and those around us. They emphasize the importance of self-love, deep listening, and embracing interbeing, as well as the power of small acts of kindness, the role of playfulness, the wisdom of non-discrimination in leading a more fulfilling life, and more.

The Earth doesn’t discriminate; it accepts all and is the mother of all.” “Understanding is love, and it’s the most profound love because, when you understand, there’s no longer a barrier between you and me as separate people.” “The safest foundation is understanding. When you have that, you can work tirelessly because your understanding is your compass. And it can give you so much insight and so many ways of bridging the separation.” “One word can release suffering, one action can save a life.” “Looking with eyes of compassion, we can listen deeply to the cries of the world.” “There is a truth in Buddhism that, no matter what condition you’re going to find yourself in, suffering’s going to be there; your mind is going to create moments of ‘you’re not enough'.” “Why not be soft? There is so much strength in softness.” “Thay talked about how we can find joy in everything, that we can find joy in a pebble on the beach, we can find joy in a flower. We can find joy in someone’s smile. We can find joy in the fact that we’re alive. We can find joy in the fact that we can see all the textures and colors in the world. It doesn't have to be a big thing, but it is the recognition of what it is to be alive.” “I love the idea that one smile from somebody can restore our faith in humanity. Often, we think we have to act in big ways; that we have to carry out bold actions to create change. But one smile can genuinely save someone’s life. As Thay said, one small action can save a life; even a smile can change a life. We underestimate the power of the small things in life. We’re taught to see things in grand ways, but, often, seeing things in the small ways can be more important.” “Non-discrimination is the wisdom that we all are children of this Earth and we manifest on this Earth and we will return to the Earth.” “We should never be too sure of ourselves, our views, and our feeling of righteousness, because that only leads to more division.” “When you touch these elements of true love, loving kindness, compassion, and joy, your interbeing becomes stronger. Because if you have joy and you’ve tasted it, don’t you want others to have joy?” “Non-discrimination is for the more-than-human world as well; it’s for all beings. Because it’s very easy to separate ourselves from the natural world and to forget that, actually, the health of the trees is our health and the health of the oceans is our health; that, actually, the love that Mother Earth gives to us is also the love that we can offer back. So there’s a real feeling of reciprocity there.”

What is a calling? How does it shape our work and life? What's the hidden cost of pursuing it (and what can we do about it)? In this engaging, high-energy conversation, Michael and Megan sit down with Dr. Arianna Molloy—calling researcher, author, and professor—to unpack the power and pitfalls of purpose-driven work.Arianna reveals the four key elements of a true calling, practical safeguards to prevent burnout, and three concrete shifts anyone in any field can make to start experiencing a greater sense of purpose and meaning at work.  She also explains why humility—not just passion—is the key to sustainable success. If you've ever struggled to balance meaningful work with a healthy life, this episode is a must-listen.Memorable Quotes“Burnout from a calling isn't just, ‘I don't know what I'm doing anymore.' It's, ‘I don't know who I am anymore.'”“To learn how to rest well, to learn how to have good boundaries actually protects that healthy sense of your calling.”“It is so important that work is not all that you have and all that you are because, guess what? At the end of the day, [your work] is going to change and shift… If we hold that with a closed hand, it's not going to go well.”“[Calling is] really relational. It's a relationship with yourself, the caller, and it's a relationship with the community that you impact.”“Most of the time, [calling] happens upon reflection… In the moment, it's not so obvious. This subtle sense of peace, or just a feeling like, ‘I think this is right.'”“We don't honor that need and importance of play as much as we could.”“The lynchpin is humility. Part of humility is the willingness to learn more, to know that you don't know everything and that is not a threat—it's actually exciting.”Key TakeawaysThe Bright and Dark Sides of Calling. A strong sense of purpose can fuel motivation, but without boundaries, it can also lead to burnout and identity loss.The Four Elements of a True Calling. Calling isn't just about passion—it requires meaning, an identified caller, skill development, and a connection to community.How to Reframe Your Work. Even if your current job doesn't feel like a calling, job crafting—adjusting your tasks, relationships, or mindset—can create a deeper sense of meaning.The Role (and Definition) of Humility. True calling requires both confidence in your strengths and an openness to growth and makes it possible to step away from work without guilt.The Power of Rest. Sustainable success isn't just about doing more—it's about recognizing your limits and practicing the right kind of rest to restore energy and creativity.ResourcesHealthy Calling by Arianna MolloyArianna Molloy's WebsiteConnect on LinkedInWatch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/upMwbYdyViwThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

Send us a textEach year I treat myself to a tarot reading from my friend, Karen Rontowski as a birthday present to myself. It's the perfect way to look back, be present, and look to the year ahead. This year was no different, because as the months have unfolded, her insights continue to resonate.One key bit explained my sense of never fitting in with anything my entire life, is when the cards, and Karen said, "You are a bridge." She explained, I am a bridge between all things. Life and death. Political parties. Between elements. Light and dark. Day and night.She that I can see all sides, literally feel them all, and yet I stand apart and create a bridge of understanding between the two factions or things or ways of being. NO wonder I've never felt like I fit in.The last months of 2024 an into 2025, I am understanding that being a bridge is to lead with empathy, it's to feel into the place where two extremes intersect, and now more than ever, the collective needs to harness the magic in that in between space, lean on that healing, that peace, and let that love power factory jet us to a better tomorrow.This isn't fake toxic positivity I'm speaking of here. This is finding common ground and reminding us that we have more in common than we don't when the outlets with the widest reach scream at us that we don't.The Bridge is something I speak of in my show intro, it's the soul of this podcast - to look at where science and supernatural collide, to stare into the space where a soul and a human form join together to create something greater than one plus one is two. So, for the coming weeks, I'm diving headfirst into those spaces. From life and death, good and bad, angels and demons, earth, air, fire and water, and every other duality, they are coming under the microscope so we can all understand the magic.Let's get into it!Want to learn more?

In this episode, Natasha looks at four ceremony elements which can really affect the success of the ceremony itself. You may have been there yourself. You've written/prepared what you think is the perfect ceremony, the best one yet, you're prepped, poised and ready but when it comes to the actual ceremony itself, it just falls flat.

In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, we break down the changes to the Monk class in the 2024 rules of Dungeons and Dragons. Summary In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, we break down the changes to the Monk class in the 2024 rules of Dungeons and Dragons. We highlight the problems with the previous version of the Monk class, including resource limitations and lack of damage output. We then go on to discuss the improvements in the 2024 rules, such as the increase in the martial arts die, the ability to use Dexterity for save DCs, and the removal of the requirement to take the attack action for bonus action attacks. We also cover the new features like Monk's Focus, Deflect Attacks, and the changes to Stunning Strike. We're excited about the improvements made to the Monk class. We cover the changes to the Stunning Strike ability, the addition of force damage to the Empowered Strikes feature, and the improvements to the Way of Mercy and Way of Shadow subclasses. There are improvements to the Monk's saving throws but a lack of a level 20 feature. We warp up with the changes to the Monk class in the 2024 rules. We talk about the new wording of the Shadow Arts feature and how it affects the Darkness spell. We discuss the changes to the Way of the Four Elements subclass, which has been greatly improved and is now considered one of the most fun subclasses to play. They share their thoughts on the Open Hand Monk subclass and its underwhelming features. The episode ends with a discussion on how to balance powerful monster effects like Stun or Paralyzed versus player enjoyment.

The 2024 rules of Dungeons and Dragons have made significant improvements to the Monk class. The martial arts die has been increased, allowing for more damage. Dexterity can now be used for save DCs, making the Monk more versatile. Bonus action attacks no longer require the attack action, providing more flexibility in combat. New features like Monk's Focus and Deflect Attacks enhance the Monk's abilities. Stunning Strike has been modified, offering advantage on the next attack against the target. Overall, the hosts are excited about the improvements made to the Monk class in the 2024 rules. The Stunning Strike ability has been modified in the 2024 rules, with changes to the duration of the stun and the requirement for a melee weapon attack. The Empowered Strikes feature now allows Monks to deal force damage with their attacks, which bypasses common damage resistances. The Way of Mercy subclass remains largely unchanged, but the Way of Shadow subclass has undergone significant revisions, including the ability to see in magical darkness. Monks now have proficiency in all saving throws and can reroll any failed save with the Disciplined Survivor feature. The lack of a level 20 feature for Monks in the 2024 rules is seen as a disappointment. The wording of the Shadow Arts feature in the 2024 rules has caused confusion regarding the Darkness spell and its interaction with the Monk's abilities. The Way of the Four Elements subclass has been greatly improved in the 2024 rules and is now considered one of the most fun subclasses to play. The Open Hand Monk subclass is seen as the most underwhelming subclass in the 2024 rules. Balancing powerful monster effects like Stun or Paralyzed with player enjoyment can be achieved by making combat turns faster and allowing players to still do something on their turn.

Hey Revival Moms!

This is the first half of our conversation. The full episode and the complete archive of Subversive episodes, including exclusive episodes and my writing, are available on Substack. You can also subscribe to the podcast sans writing on Patreon for a bit less. This is how the show is financed and grows, so I appreciate every contribution! Please subscribe at: https://www.alexkaschuta.com/ https://www.patreon.com/aksubversive Our conversation explores the concept of worldviews as self-contained snow globes that represent specific cardinal virtues. We discuss the four common elements of every worldview: what is good, where good and bad come from, who deserves good, and how to do good. The conversation also delves into the challenges of understanding and evaluating different worldviews, the role of in-group signaling, and the importance of understanding other perspectives. We also discuss Valueism as a life philosophy based on intrinsic values and effective action to increase them, the decline of traditional religion, the search for alternative forms of community and meaning, group differences, and the extremes of the distribution, language ambiguity, and imprecision used to hide behind claims and avoid accountability - and much more.

— The natural world benevolently embraces all who show it care and respect. The rivers, forests, and meadows love to hear our laughter. The birds, butterflies, and flowers appreciate our admiration. The fire gladly transforms our pain, while the ocean blithely supports our rebirth. So don't hesitate to deepen your relationship with the many aspects of nature. They are here for us as allies and mentors, joyously teaching through their very existence. May your fire burn brightly and show you the way. May the earth be soft and fertile beneath your feet. May your water flow freely and quench your thirst. May the winds lift you through the air to the place beyond time. And may the rays of the sun warm your heart and illuminate your soul. Valeria interviews Liz Beachy Gómez — She is the author of  “From the Depths of Creation: A Nature-Based Path to Healing.” Liz Beachy Gómez is the founder of Ewassa, a nature-based healing practice in the Rocky Mountains outside of Denver, and author of From the Depths of Creation: A Nature-Based Path to Healing. Liz's passion for the natural world blossomed when she discovered Brazilian Orixá-based spirituality in her early twenties. She learned to work with the elements of Fire, Earth, Water and Air in ceremony and meditation, and through rituals of healing and celebration with the various aspects of each element. After several years of practice, Liz was initiated as a daughter of Iemanjá (the ocean) through the Templo Guaracy of São Paulo in 2003, and served as temple coordinator in Haiti and the Dominican Republic for seven years. Liz is an international public health professional and energy medicine practitioner by training. She holds an undergraduate degree in psychology and anthropology from Kalamazoo College, and a Master of Health Sciences (MHS) degree in public health from the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health. She completed her training in Andean (Q'ero) shamanic healing practices through The Four Winds Society in 2018. After ten years living overseas in West Africa, the Caribbean and Central America, Liz returned to the U.S. to raise her children while juggling a demanding career. A health crisis eventually spurred her to renounce her public health career in 2017 and return to nature in search of healing. The nature-based framework she teaches today was born of her personal healing journey, her love for the Brazilian Orixás, and her energy medicine work with clients and groups. Liz is fluent in English, Spanish, French and Portuguese and can offer interviews or workshops in any of these languages.

Welcome to episode 66 of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. This time, Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and leadership coach/journalist Jo Confino talk about the practice of gratitude and its power to shine a light in even the darkest circumstances. Their conversation touches on many aspects of gratitude, from the way it has been viewed in Buddhism since the days of the Buddha, to gratitude for life, gratitude as a gift and a rebalancer, and gratitude even when things don't go well.   Brother Phap Huu further talks about nourishing our deep connection to interbeing; opening our hearts to suffering; loneliness in the monastic community; gratitude for the Earth, all living beings, and (even) minerals; the feeling of ‘enough'; the Cong Phu Sheet; and more. And why is gratitude a such a difficult practice, even when there are many opportunities to apply it? Jo delves into daily practices of gratitude; coming back into balance; Christmas presents and meaninglessness; approaches to economic development in Bhutan; and more. The episode ends with a short meditation on gratitude guided by Brother Phap Huu.

But a lot of us are afraid to come home to ourselves. And the whole art of meditation is learning to come home.” “Gratitude is a practice and a muscle that we need to develop. Because if we have a practice of gratitude, then being grateful is going to flow much more easily.” “There is a lot of suffering today, but if we focus solely on that suffering, we may also lose the light. Therefore, gratitude becomes a light that we want to protect, to give us hope, to help us know why we are doing what we’re doing, for the activists to know what they are protecting, for the people who are calling out injustice to be grateful that, as human beings, we can use our voices to speak about suffering.”
