Podcasts about hidden life

Before recently, we knew John Bleasdale best as one of our favorite podcasters - he hosts, among others, “Writers on Film,” a spotlight on film books, on which Jason has guested twice. Now John has written a book of his own, “The Magic Hours: The Films and Hidden Life of Terrence Malick,” and joins us to discuss one of Malick's best, “Days of Heaven.”Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/one-heat-minute-productions/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Trees care for each other. If a tree is sick, its neighbours share nutrients to help it recover. They are not separate; they survive together." The Hidden Life of Trees: Beneath our feet, trees are whispering to each other. Through their roots, they pass sugars and nutrients, sending help to the sick, the struggling. An old mother tree will nourish her saplings, even after she herself has begun to wither. Trees do not live alone; they thrive in networks, connected through unseen threads of care. We, too, are held in invisible networks of love and support. Even when we feel alone, there are roots beneath us—people, ancestors, the earth itself—nourishing us in ways we may not always see. Let's meditate

"A tree can be only as strong as the forest that surrounds it."Quote from The Hidden Life of Trees: I grew up in Nottinghamshire England, only a few miles away from the famous Sherwood Forest. I remember playing as a child in and around the major oak, a tree that legend has it was the hideout of Robin Hood. It's the largest oak in England weighing in at 23 tonnes. The major oak is ancient, a thousand years old. last year I went on solitary retreat, just me, in a cabin, in the woods. At the edge of those woods was also an ancient oak, If I remember correctly, it was 600 years old. I sat and meditated on it and all of the changes that have occurred in its world, whilst it has remained, strong, patient and stable. I thought of my dear grandparents, being born, raised and leaving this world, and how this great expanse of time was absorbed by the tree, with very little change. Trees do not rush. They do not force themselves to grow before their time. A beech tree may take 80 years before it bears its first fruit. Some trees wait centuries before they reach their full height. They trust time, trust the slow unfolding of life, trust that each season brings what is needed. As humans, we struggle with this. We want things to happen now. We want answers, results, transformations overnight. But the trees remind us: growth is slow. And that is not a flaw—it is nature's way. So now, let's meditate

Tomás Hardiman is a film producer and a survivor of childhood abuse. His recent documentary “The Days of Trees” tells the story of his own experience of childhood sexual abuse, and his long road to recovery. In this conversation, Tomás reflects on the years he spent in the dark, his gradual process of healing, and how he was able to convert his deepest childhood wound into a creative project - a documentary that is now impacting people all over the world. Gabor Maté had this to say about it: 'It's all about healing and transformation, a person finding themselves… I really urge you to see it. A beautiful film.' Here are some of the things we explore in this discussion: — How memory, shame, and repression often intertwine in trauma — Why Tomás almost walked away from the film — The role of creative work in transforming suffering — How Tomás has been able to forgive the seemingly unforgivable. And more.

The Hidden Life of a Facilitator By Arne van Oosterom Facilitation often looks easy from the outside. A room full of people, energy, sticky notes, good vibes, some structure, and someone calmly guiding the process. But what most people don't see is the part that happens afterwards. When the room is empty again. When you're back in the car. Or alone in a hotel room. We recently had Alwin Put on the podcast, a great facilitator and writer. One of the first things he said stuck with me. He described how much he loves working with groups—and then immediately admitted how exhausted he feels after a session. Like, completely drained. I know exactly what he means. It's something we rarely talk about, but I think many facilitators feel it. That strange combination of being completely present all day, and then just… done. Not tired like you've had a long day at the office. But tired in a way that goes deeper. It's emotional. It's physical. Sometimes even spiritual. And it's not because we don't like people. We love people. It's literally our job. We spend the whole day holding space, guiding energy, helping people connect, think, decide, and move. That takes something out of you. For me, it sometimes gets a bit absurd. I'll be with groups of people all day, talking, laughing, facilitating like it's nothing. But then I get home, and the doorbell rings. My wife will look at me and say, “You've been with people all day, and now you don't want to answer the door?” And she's right. I don't. I'll freeze. I'll whisper, “Who is it?” and hope they go away. Not because I don't like them. But because I just can't be “on” anymore. It's a strange paradox. Many facilitators are introverts. We're tuned into group dynamics. We read the room. We sense when someone's holding back. That sensitivity is our strength—but it's also what makes it so exhausting. It's the hidden part of the work. Alwin called it the facilitator's hangover. It made us laugh, but it's real. And it's something we should talk about more. Because if we don't, people will think something's wrong with them when they feel this way. It's not. It's part of the job. And yes, there's joy in it too. When it works—when the group clicks, when something shifts, when someone finds the words they didn't know they had—it's beautiful. It's what keeps us doing it. But here's the thing: the work doesn't end when the session ends. The silent part—the recovery, the walk, the quiet meal, the time alone—is part of the work too. So if you're a facilitator reading this and you've ever avoided the doorbell, or skipped dinner, or just needed a day to stare at the wall… you're not alone. It's not a weakness. It's part of the craft. Let's just be honest about that.

We have arrived at another nugget day, or In Brief day, for the paragraphs on the mysteries of Christ's life. On today's “mystery nugget” day, Fr. Mike recounts the significance of Christ's obedience to the Father and our own obedience to God's will. He also emphasizes the importance of reflecting on the mysteries of Christ's life by reading and meditating on the Gospels and praying the Rosary. Today's readings from the Catechism are paragraphs 561-570. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/ciy Please note: The Catechism of the Catholic Church contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

Living as a new creation in Christ requires intentionality. In today's teaching, Pastor Richard shares practical ways to strengthen your new nature through prayer, God's Word, and fellowship. Just as the new man must be nourished, the old man must be starved—left in the grave where he belongs. Don't let the habits of your old life creep back in; instead, focus on sowing to the Spirit and walking in the newness of life God has called you to.

Your true identity is found in Christ. Today, Pastor Richard challenges you to leave behind anything that distracts you from your identity as a new creation. Whether it's sin, personal preferences, or worldly differences, none of it compares to the unity and purpose you have in Jesus. As a new creation, you are called to focus on what unites us in Christ rather than what divides us. Embrace who you are in Christ and live in the fullness of that new life.

Fr. Mike explores the mystery of Jesus' infancy and hidden life. We first take a look at Jesus' Baptism, circumcision, and the Epiphany. Fr. Mike discusses that Jesus' circumcision shows us that salvation comes from the Jews. The Epiphany shows us that salvation does not stop there, it extends to all of us. Later, we examine Jesus' hidden life. Fr. Mike emphasizes the importance of Jesus' obedience to not just his Father in Heaven, but to his earthly father and mother as well, and how we can imitate that obedience. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 527-534. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/ciy Please note: The Catechism of the Catholic Church contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

True power for transformation comes from God alone. In today's teaching, Pastor Richard reminds us that no religious practice—whether it's observing holy days or following dietary laws—can provide the power we need to live the life God has called us to. That power comes only through a relationship with Jesus Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit in your life. Make sure your focus is on Him, not on rituals or traditions.

Carl Zimmer is one of the finest science communicators of our time, having spent decades writing about biology, evolution, and heredity. His latest (and 16th) book, Air-Borne: The Hidden History of the Life We Breathe, explores something even more fundamental—how the very air around us is teeming with life, from pollen to pathogens to microbes floating miles above the Earth. He joins Tyler to discuss why it took scientists so long to accept airborne disease transmission and more, including why 19th-century doctors thought hay fever was a neurosis, why it took so long for the WHO and CDC to acknowledge COVID-19 was airborne, whether ultraviolet lamps can save us from the next pandemic, how effective masking is, the best theory on the anthrax mailings, how the U.S. military stunted aerobiology, the chance of extraterrestrial life in our solar system, what Lee Cronin's “assembly theory” could mean for defining life itself, the use of genetic information to inform decision-making, the strangeness of the Flynn effect, what Carl learned about politics from growing up as the son of a New Jersey congressman, and much more.

We will continue our series on Jesus' sermon on the mount, and discover the power of the hidden life with God.

This is the podcast where questions sent in by listeners are discussed by your co-hosts Stuart ‘The Wildman' Mabbutt and William Mankelow. Send yours today by emailing thepeoplescountryside@gmail.com.In today's episode the first question to be explored comes from Brenda in Northumberland, England - “How much of human life is lost, waiting?”Off the back of Brenda's question William observes that a significant portion of life is spent waiting. However, he distinguishes between different types of waiting, such as waiting for a train, waiting for a kettle to boil, and waiting for the right moment.Stuart expands on this idea by exploring the difference between procrastination and strategic thinking. He continues William's argument by highlighting how waiting can be purposeful, such as in chess, where one must wait for the right opportunity to make a move.The second question was sent in by Gary from Hull, England - “Is the pursuit of diversity putting at risk excellence? Are the best people getting the key jobs, if we are playing the diversity card too readily?”.Inspired by this question, Stuart begins by expressing concern that some appointments are made for the wrong reasons, feeling that, regardless of skin color, a more suitable candidate potentially could have been chosen. He sees some appointments as mere token gestures, rather than genuine selections based on merit.Stuart then leads the discussion towards interconnectedness, referencing ‘The Hidden Life of Trees', which suggests that a woodland functions as a single organism, where the strong support the weak. He argues that even if the best person isn't always chosen for a role, diversity in culture, viewpoints, and perspectives, can ultimately strengthen the whole. He acknowledges both sides of this debate.William shares an example from his wife's workplace, where application information was removed to reduce unconscious bias in hiring. He also notes that hiring someone solely based on their minority status can, in some ways, be insulting.Stuart concludes with a call to action: reconsider what defines the "best" candidate for a role. He is particularly ardent about representation, emphasizing that if it is to be done, it should come from a place of sincerity rather than obligation.What do you make of this discussion?

He's also a prolific podcaster, with series such as Writers on Film, Cinema Italia and The James Bond Book Club.John talks to Pasquale about his latest book The Magic Hours (2024), a fascinating biography of the acclaimed American filmmaker Terrence Malick which was recently described by New Yorker critic Richard Brody as ‘a rapturously detailed, sensitively observed, critically insightful account.' John and Pasquale talk about what makes for a great filmmaker biography and then discuss Malick's background, his brief but eventful stints in academia and journalism and his beginnings as a screenwriter. Also covered are his first two features as director - 1970s American classics Badlands (1973) and Days of Heaven (1978) as well as the much talked about gap of two decades between Days of Heaven and his third feature, The Thin Red Line (1998). Just what was Malick up to during this time? How much truth is there in this image of Malick as the reclusive auteur?The conversation also takes in key aspects of the Malick methodology and film style, including his work with actors, his editing approach and his use of voiceover.The Magic Hours: The Films and Hidden Life of Terrence Malick is out now via the University Press of Kentucky.

Ben O'Shea makes his first feature on the Movie Vault to discuss one of his favorite films, Terrence Malick's "A Hidden Life."

Beyond the Sea: The Hidden Life in Lakes, Streams, and Wetlands (Johns Hopkins UP, 2024) is an exciting foray into Earth's inland waters, the remarkable species they contain, and the conservation challenges of protecting them. In Beyond the Sea, he introduces readers to the world's most remarkable and varied inland waters, including massive lakes that fill only once a century, groundwaters miles beneath our feet that host unique microbes, volcanic lakes more corrosive than battery acid, and catastrophic floods that carry ten times more water than the Amazon River. Strayer also shares stories of the myriad fascinating species supported by these crucial ecosystems, featuring mussels that seduce fish, tiny tardigrades that cheat death, animals that photosynthesize, and plants that eat meat. Because humans have used—and abused—inland waters so intensively Strayer advocates for specific solutions that can restore and sustain these water ecosystems. Dr. David Strayer is a freshwater ecologist specializing in freshwater mussel ecology. In addition to his most recent publication Beyond the Sea; The Hidden life in Lakes, Streams and Rivers, he has authored a number of books and over 200 research papers. He is also the co-editor of Fundamentals of Ecosystem Science. Learn more about your ad choices.

Because humans have used—and abused—inland waters so intensively Strayer advocates for specific solutions that can restore and sustain these water ecosystems. Dr. David Strayer is a freshwater ecologist specializing in freshwater mussel ecology.

⏰ DAILY OFFICE STARTER GUIDE -  The Daily Office is an ancient practice to help you stop 2 - 3 times a day to quiet yourself and be with Jesus. https://www.emotionallyhealthy.org/dailyoffice --------------------------- For most leaders, success is based on numbers, influence, and impact. But the life of Elijah teaches us something different. On today's podcast, we continue our journey in Part 2 of The Power of a Hidden Life: Leadership Lessons from Elijah. We'll explore a profound truth often overlooked in leadership: before we stand on large platforms or lead others, our inner life with God must be well-rooted and established. Elijah's story in 1 Kings 17-19 reveals that God shapes leaders in the quiet, hidden places—like the cave—long before the public victories. We'll dive into Elijah's time of hiddenness, fed by ravens and a widow, as God worked in his soul. These hidden seasons are critical because they teach us to lead from a place of deep connection with God, not simply from activity or impact. Elijah teaches us that success is about discerning the voice of God, not the pressures of Western values. Take a deep breath, let God care for you, and allow His abundance to overflow into every part of your life!  

This week Peter Wohlleben, renowned German forester and author of  “The Hidden Life of Trees: What They Feel, How They Communicate,” talks about the age-old connection between humans and the forest and encourages us to take notice. Wohlleben says that research indicates sitting under a tree or ‘forest bathing’ is beneficial for our health - it can reduce blood pressure and help us to stay calm and relax. 

✅ DAILY OFFICE STARTER GUIDE -  The Daily Office is an ancient practice to help you stop 2 - 3 times a day to quiet yourself and be with Jesus. https://www.emotionallyhealthy.org/dailyoffice --------------------------- In today's chaotic and disorienting world, where leaders face intense challenges, Elijah's life offers us profound wisdom.  Whether you lead a ministry, organization, or family, Elijah's hidden life with God speaks to the core of how we navigate leadership in tumultuous times. In 1 Kings 19, Elijah faced overwhelming exhaustion, fear, and disillusionment after pouring out his heart in service to God. As a fugitive, fleeing from Jezebel's threats, he reached his breaking point—ready to give up entirely. It's here, in the wilderness, that God met him in a way that transformed his leadership and life. God didn't fix Elijah's problems immediately or offer a grand inspirational speech. Instead, He invited Elijah into the stillness and silence in the cave at Mount Horeb.  In today's podcast episode, we'll reflect on how entering our own “caves” of silence can transform not only our leadership but also our relationship with God.
