As I tell Gabrielle in the following interview, when a new Gabrielle Brady film emerges into the world, it is like the arrival of a gift, one that pulls us into a mindset of considering the lives of others, including those of the crabs of Christmas Island, or maybe the horses of the Gobi Desert. It's one that encourages us to see the world of truth differently. That notion of truth is something I've asked filmmakers a lot lately, and I'm conscious of its almost accusatory nature, as if documentary filmmaking must adhere to one True Reality. But it's impossible. The truth can never be captured on screen, and truth is in itself a falsity. After all, as soon as you put a camera on an event, or slice it with an editing suite, or apply a score to it, you are skewing reality away from the truth. Documentary storytelling is, by its own creation, not the truth. Yet, the emotions that we're left with and the memories that linger in our mind after the film has long played out, become a source of truth. Yet, as I slip into this spiral a little further, it's clear that co-authored filmmaking like that of Gabrielle Brady's exists to explore versions of the truth, to bring stories of subjects and collaborators to life, and to enrich our collective world.These notions are underpinned by Gabrielle's choice to study at the prestigious La Escuela Internacional de Cine in Cuba, a place which fosters the notion to 'defend the rights to ones own image' and to 'liberate the viewer's gaze'. These are ideas that I ask Gabrielle about in the following interview, which gives way to an open conversation about her creative process, and what it means to be able to work alongside people like Poh Lin, Davaa and Zaya, and Michael Latham, on her films.This interview was recorded ahead of Wolves' screenings at the Sydney Film Festival on 10 and 12 June. This is a film I urge audiences to see in a cinema, let it overwhelm your senses. Let it change you. If you're interested in reading about how the film changed me, then you can read my review here.

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) In this talk, Emily explores the Buddha's teachings on the Liberating Insights and the Three Characteristics. She explains how suffering and impermanence shape our experience of self—sometimes making it feel solid and fixed, other times more open and fluid. By working skillfully with the hindrances, we can loosen our grip on a rigid sense of self and allow it to move with greater freedom.

"The less you care, the harder you come."Your therapist won't tell you this, but caring too much is the ultimate cockblock to pleasure. And you, my sweet, overly invested friend, are drowning in a sea of giving-a-fuck when you could be floating in an ocean of delicious indifference.Welcome to this week's episode, where we're going to strip you of your precious concerns like a dominatrix peeling off your armor of good intentions.You think you need more love? More connection? More meaning?Wrong.What you need is the courage to stop giving a damn, and I'm here to hurt you in all the ways that'll set you free.Get ready for:- A master class in the art of strategic apathy- The dirty truth about why your caring addiction is cock-blocking your evolution- How psychedelics might divorce you from your neediness (and why that's hot)- The sexiest thing about power (hint: it doesn't care what you think about it)Listen as we explore why drama is the foreplay of existence, and how your resistance to pleasure is just fear wearing a consent-culture costume.This isn't self-help. This is self-harm in reverse – destroying the parts of you that keep sabotaging your liberation.If you're clutching your pearls of wisdom too tight to let new pleasure in, this episode will teach you the art of letting go like a zen master having a tantric breakthrough.WARNING: Side effects may include:- Spontaneous outbreaks of not giving a fuck- Increased pleasure tolerance- Decreased tolerance for your own bullshit- Sudden urges to prioritize your pleasure over others' comfort- The ability to say "no" without writing a thesis to justify itAvailable now wherever you get your permission to stop caring so damn much.The stakes are high, but your anxiety about them doesn't have to be.Come play in the space between caring too much and not caring at all. That's where the real pleasure lives.And remember: If you're worried about whether you should listen to this episode, that's exactly why you need to.Your enlightenment is optional. Your pleasure is mandatory.Got something to say to me? Slide into the DMs.Support the showIt's OUT!

Right now, there's an incredible amount of suffering happening on the planet—both on an individual level and on a collective level. And from where I stand, however it manifests, the root of this suffering always comes back to one thing: our level of consciousness. Are we able to recognize our thoughts as thoughts—or do we believe them? Are we able to feel, honor and process our emotions as they arise—or do we become them? Are we aware that all of these thoughts and emotions have created a conditioned identity that's controlling our behavior and state of being—or are we too busy falling asleep to it and projecting it out into the world? When we become more deeply aware of the ego and all of the pain it creates from confusing it as who we are—and when we learn how to transcend it on a moment-to-moment basis, we're able to not just step into peace, but live here. And this is what we're discussing in this episode.If you found this episode helpful, it would mean the world to me if you could take a moment to rate and review this podcast and share it with a friend. This is what allows this work to reach the people it's meant to so that together, we can create a massive shift in the collective consciousness. Your support really does make a difference and I'm so grateful!

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul. Today I'm going to share with you one of my most popular pieces on Medium. If you don't know what Medium is, it's a place where writers can get their short pieces published, either by themselves, or in someone else's publication. I started getting published on Medium in April, mostly in two publications which feature interesting stories and great writing.

Many activist projects and resistance groups fall apart because people treat each other poorly, trying desperately to live out the cultural myths about dating and relationships that we are fed from an early age. How do we bring our best thinking about freedom and justice into step with our desires for healing and connection? * In this episode, Dean is joined by CIIS Anthropology and Social Change Associate Professor Targol Mesbah in a liberating conversation on how to combat cultural scripts and take our relationships into our own hands, better preparing us for the work of changing the world. * This episode was recorded during an in-person and live streamed event at California Institute of Integral Studies on February 28th, 2025.

(Gaia House) A meditation, reflection, and responses to questions on the power of conceiving of ourselves as interconnected. With examples from Palestine, the meditation cushion, and living with illness and loss. In all cases, perhaps this transformative idea is more potent than it is true.

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) In this talk, we explore compassion as a liberating force—one that allows us to stay present with suffering so we can respond with wise action. Drawing on the myth of Avalokiteśvara, the science of empathy, and the felt experience of care, compassion becomes a courageous presence rooted in tenderness and connection. We also reflect on how a deep understanding of dukkha, paired with a direct knowing of freedom, strengthens our compassion and helps us see the wish for liberation as real and available—even in the most difficult places.

In this episode I am once again joined by Stephen Snyder, Buddhist meditation teacher and author of several books including ‘Buddha's Heart', ‘Trust in Awakening', and his latest release ‘Liberating the Self'. Stephen emphasises the importance of working with personality structures even after Buddhist awakening, and offers methods to resolve trauma and destructive patterns to unlock hidden spiritual strength. Stephen warns about the dangers of achieving enlightenment without dealing with one's personality patterns and trauma, reflects on the inner experience of enlightened Zen masters who behaved badly, and gives his advice for teachers and practitioners who think they no longer need to practice. Stephen also reports a high success rate of awakening and other mystical experiences among his students, shares his approach to retreats and 1-1 teaching, and describes advanced Theravada meditation techniques such as kasina and skeleton meditation. … Video versions: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep298-liberating-the-self-stephen-snyder
