Raphaël Quenard est comédien, scénariste et désormais réalisateur avec son film I Love Peru. Charles Pépin est philosophe et auteur du livre Vivre avec son passé. Cet épisode est le fruit d'une rencontre entre moi et Amaury de breakbuild que je remercie vivementDans un monde tellement polarisé, j'ai eu envie de créer des ponts entre des personnes qui ne se connaissent et que rien ne relie à priori.J'ai démandé à Raphael, un sujet qui l'intéressait particulièrement et il m'a parlé de solitude, j'ai donc décidé de le mettre face à Charles.Dans cet épisode de Vlan, j'ai réuni ces deux personnalités singulières pour parler d'un thème qui me touche profondément : la solitude. Que ce soit dans la création, l'amour ou la philosophie, la solitude nous traverse tous. Mais chacun en fait une expérience radicalement différente.Avec Raphaël, nous avons évoqué la solitude de l'artiste, celle que l'on choisit et qui devient source de puissance créative. Il revient sur le processus de création de son film, réalisé dans le chaos, le flou, et pourtant porteur d'une vérité sensible rare. Il parle aussi, avec beaucoup de sincérité, du deuil amoureux qui a nourri ce projet, de cette fracture intime qui nous laisse souvent sans voix.Charles, lui, éclaire nos échanges de sa pensée précise et lumineuse. Il nous rappelle combien la solitude est un royaume, traversé de moments sublimes et d'autres, plus sombres, où l'on doute, où l'on cherche. Il parle aussi de la solitude morale, celle face à sa conscience, et de celle du politique, seul face au réel.J'ai voulu faire de cet épisode un espace de rencontre, de réflexion, presque une parenthèse où l'on peut penser autrement notre rapport à la création, à la norme, à la marginalité. Avec humour, profondeur et parfois même une forme de poésie, Charles et Raphaël se rejoignent là où l'on ne les attendait pas toujours.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons aussi de rupture amoureuse, de docu-fiction, de la souffrance de ne pas comprendre pourquoi l'on est quitté, et de ce que cela dit de nous. J'ai partagé mon propre vécu, mon « kit de secours pour cœur brisé », et cela a nourri une conversation vraie, sans détour.Citations marquantes« La solitude, je la traque. Elle me connecte à mon cerveau reptilien. » — Raphaël Quenard« Quand tu écris, tu es seul, mais c'est parfois la plus grande des joies. » — Charles Pépin« On n'est pas éduqués à comprendre qu'il n'y a rien à comprendre. » — Raphaël Quenard« Être singulier, c'est être seul à être soi. » — Charles Pépin« L'amour, c'est la plus inestimable des drogues. Et la plus destructrice. » — Raphaël Quenard10 questions structurées posées dans l'interviewQuel lien faites-vous entre solitude et processus de création ?Est-ce que la solitude est une souffrance ou une ressource pour vous ?Comment vivez-vous la reconnaissance après une période d'écriture solitaire ?Peut-on être seul même entouré ?Qu'est-ce que la notoriété change à la solitude ?Quel rôle joue la solitude dans la conscience morale ?Pourquoi avoir choisi de parler d'amour dans ce film ?Quelle est la place du deuil amoureux dans la création artistique ?Est-il possible d'être ami avec ses ex ou d'aimer sans fusionner ?La rupture amicale est-elle plus douloureuse que la rupture amoureuse ?Timestamps clés pour YouTube00:01 – Introduction : rencontre entre Raphaël Quenard et Charles Pépin01:00 – La solitude de l'écrivain et du créateur05:00 – Processus d'écriture, manque d'inspiration et discipline09:00 – Solitude choisie vs isolement subi12:30 – La marginalité comme puissance créative18:00 – La solitude de la célébrité22:30 – Création du film I Love Peru : chaos et docu-fiction26:30 – Le montage comme acte psychanalytique30:00 – La solitude du politique et la confrontation au réel34:00 – Le deuil amoureux, un déclencheur créatif39:00 – L'amour durable et les promesses impossibles44:00 – Fiction et documentaire : trouver le naturel dans le film46:00 – Rupture amicale : douleur silencieuse48:00 – L'amour platonique : un contresens courant50:00 – Est-il possible de désirer l'autre après 40 ans ?Distribué par Audiomeans.

Imagine being dropped at the edge of Antarctica, the launch point for a 570-mile ski expedition to the bottom of the world. That's where Chris Fagan and her husband Marti found themselves in 2013, beginning a grueling, 48-day, unguided journey to the South Pole—one that would ultimately earn them a Guinness World Record. Along the way, they faced periods of profound silence: on good days, a serene connection with nature; on bad days, an overwhelming sense of isolation. Chris joins Ben to unpack the paradox of solace and loneliness in an extreme environment like Antarctica, the mental and physical toll of the trek, and how the journey inspired her to write her award-winning book, "The Expedition".

What does the energy of July hold for YOU? I was so curious about this question that I picked THREE oracle cards just for YOU, and I didn't get a message just for July… I got a message for the second half of 2025 too! In this episode, I share the three oracle cards I picked just for YOU from the Sacred Traveler deck, and weave together the THEME for this month AND for the rest of 2025!  These cards reflect the shift in energy that began at the Solstice and are inviting us to utilize the second half of the year to clear the way for a miraculous 2026!   Key Learnings: 1) The energy shift began at the Solstice and will continue through the second half of the year. The first card I chose for you for July is the Distant Thunder card, which invites us to ‘clear the air' and quite literally clear our space! Take stock of what supports you and what is no longer needed, and let go of whatever you no longer need. 2) The second card is Traveling Lightly, which invites us to simplify our lives! This card expands on the first card, but gets a little more specific in helping us let go of mental clutter as well. 3) The last card is Solitude and the message is ‘In Silence, Peace Prevails.' This card is for the second half of the year and it encourages us to bring our attention inward. This card does not mean you will be alone, but rather it encourages you to seek time alone to be with God. All three of these cards are helping us to clear up any loose ends, as it is a 9 year in numerology, a time of completion. This will help us lay a fresh foundation in 2026, which is a 1 year, a brand new cycle.   “Do not allow your circumstances to determine your faith.

This week's guest, Thuy-vy Nguyen, PhD, is one of the world's leading researchers on solitude, and an associate professor at Durham University's dedicated research lab, Solitude Lab. Her interest is in ‘ordinary, everyday life solitude', the kind you're more likely to find in the corner of a cafe than on a 10-day silent meditation retreat. It's solitude in moderation – or what we on this podcast like to call alonement.This episode is an edifying exploration of the latest in solitude research, from how the experience of being alone affects our mental state to the pros and cons of labelling yourself an introvert/extrovert. We also talk about solitude skills, and how almost anyone can get better at it – no matter how much they hate it to begin with.You can find out more about Thuy-vy's brilliant work on the Solitude Lab website.

Last week, we kicked off a two-part series about cosmic mountain encounters in the Bible. We took a tour of the Bible and visited different mountains to discover how they became places where God invited flawed and faulty humans in His redemptive work. We talked about how every cosmic mountain involves testing, resting and trusting. We started with information, and now, we’re pivoting to application. What does it mean to trust and rest in God? Mountains are a temporary place, so this week, we’re coming back Down the Mountain, exploring how we can respond appropriately while we’re up there and discovering what comes with us when we return to normal life.

"Solitude is a place I like to go" - Tracey EminWelcome to Episode #113:Today I share some beautiful moments in Bologna and Florence while sitting at a cafe close to Mercato Centrale in the centro storico of Firenze. Exploring art and culture was at the forefront of my experience in Italy on this recent travel adventure and there is no doubt there are many moving parts on this journey of mine. I discover much more than I expect seeing Tracey Emin at the Palazzo Strozzi and the restored artwork of Plautilla Nelli - The Last Supper c.1560 at the Santa Maria Novella.I mention the Strozzi Gallery and seeing Tracey Emin Sex and Solitude and The Time for Women exhibition that are currently showing in Florence, yet would also like to add while in Milan I went to I am Leonor Fini at the Palazzo Reale and loved her work and the beauty of her rich artist life in Italy and France. It came as quite a surprise to see such a femme de force of art after perusing the NovoCento in Milan, a wonderful museum of 20th and 21st Century modern art, yet certainly I noticed that 99 percent of the work was the art of men, a legacy that obviously reflects something more pertinent to art history and Italian culture. These observations left me pondering the times and the culture of art in Italy and perhaps my own experience as a woman forging ahead in difficult times in the 21st Century.Enjoy xFind all Shownotes at  michellejohnston.life© 2025  A Writer In Italy - travel, books, art and lifeMusic Composed by Richard Johnston © 2025Support the show

On July 11, Superman flies back into cinemas in his third reboot – but this time, he's different. Director James Gunn promises a beacon of hope, kindness, and decency, a sharp contrast to the grim hero we last saw. How will a reborn idealistic Man of Steel land in the most cynical American moment of the modern era? How has Superman changed in his 87 years in comics, movies and radio? And can he save the American Way from a real-life supervillain in the White House?

Michael G. Williams returns to share his collected novellas: Servant Sovereign AND his latest novel, Children of Solitude. We talk about real estate demons being thwarted by witches dipping through time, and then about supernatural horror as a genre that truly peels back the human experience and forces characters (and us) to find joy and love through the dark times! https://www.michaelgwilliamsbooks.com/  http://www.wrotepodcast.com/michael-g-williams/ 

We can all benefit from healthy relationships and connections, but sometimes kids (and adults) just want some 'alone time' - and that's OK too.  Author and illustrator Vera Brosgol joins us to dig into several of her fantastically imaginative book worlds that help explore relationships with our family, and ourselves.

What if being single and childfree wasn't a consolation prize—but a portal to deep peace, freedom, and joy? In this powerful conversation, I'm joined by the vibrant and wonderful Lucy Meggeson—host of the Thrive Solo podcast and author of the book by the same name (or Shiny Happy Singles if you're in the UK). Together, we explore the liberation, sovereignty, and delight that come from embracing a solo path. Lucy opens up about the moment she realized that singlehood was not just her circumstance—it was her choice and her joy. We unpack the outdated societal narratives that equate coupledom with success and lovingly challenge the stigma around choosing solitude. From reclaiming the word “selfish” to transmuting sexual energy into creative power, this episode is a bold manifesto for living life on your own terms. What we explore: Joyfully single is not an oxymoron—it's a lifestyle, a choice, and a liberation. Reclaiming “selfish” as self-honoring and soul-serving. Solitude fosters emotional regulation, clarity, and inner peace. The myth of the “less than” single woman must be dismantled. Sex, or the lack thereof, can be a channel for profound creative expression.   Loved this episode? Please share it with a woman who needs permission to put herself first.

This week we're excited to present a conversation from the 62nd New York Film Festival with Afternoons of Solitude director Albert Serra. An NYFF62 Spotlight selection, Afternoons of Solitude opens at Film at Lincoln Center on June 28. Get tickets at filmlinc.org/solitude This conversation was moderated by FLC Vice President, Programming, Florence Almozini. Albert Serra trains a patient and poetic lens on the dazzling pomp and devastating brutality of bullfighting in his new documentary portrait of the charismatic Peruvian-born star torero Andrés Roca Rey. Intensely in-the-moment, Afternoons of Solitude expertly balances the visceral thrill of the battle inside the ring, pitting animal instinct against human technique, with a filmmaking style that allows the viewer to appreciate the emotional and physical toll the violence takes on both man and beast. Unflinching yet reflective, Serra's film is a monumental depiction of the persistence of the primitive in the present day, while acknowledging the extraordinary skill of the man who puts his life and spiritual endurance at risk as he faces down rampaging nature.

Silence & Solitude We live in a world constantly filled with noise. Scrolling, multitasking, and reacting. Silence and solitude often feel awkward – or even impossible! But the ancient practices of silence and solitude are vital for our mental, emotional, and spiritual health. At Refuge, we believe self-care is sacred. And this week we talk […] The post Holy Habits // Silence & Solitude appeared first on Refuge.Church.

Spiritual formation is the process of being conformed to the image of Christ for the sake of others. Disciplines create the space for that formation to happen in and through us as we encounter the presence and power of God.Our All-Family Gatherings begin with a short workshop or story on missional living and/or microchurches. This week, we continue our series of workshops on spiritual formation and disciplines with a guided meditation around the practice of silence and solitude.

This week, Shat the Movies finally kneels before Zod—and listener Chris Lloyd—by reviewing Superman II (1980), the sequel that gave us Terrence Stamp's immortal sneer, Margot Kidder's bathrobe thirst, and Christopher Reeve's blue-eyed beefcake perfection. This episode dives headfirst into the Donner vs. Lester debate, asks how much ejaculate the Fortress of Solitude can handle, and questions Lois Lane's true intentions once Clark Kent drops the glasses—and the powers. Gene and Big D examine everything from Superman's bizarre morality and dubious revenge tactics to the wildly impractical Phantom Zone prison system. They also debate if memory-wiping kisses and cellophane logos deserve a place in superhero canon and why Perry White's newsroom features a threatening photo of Bill Cosby. Whether you're team “Mormon Dad Superman” or “Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex,” this episode delivers laughs, awkward truths, and more than a few inappropriate questions about Kryptonian sex. Plot Summary After banishing Kryptonian rebels General Zod, Ursa, and Non to the Phantom Zone, Superman continues his life as Clark Kent—until a hydrogen bomb explosion in space releases the trio. Landing on Earth, they gain Superman's powers from the yellow sun and quickly set their sights on global domination. Meanwhile, Lois Lane grows suspicious of Clark's identity, prompting him to reveal his secret and sacrifice his powers to be with her. But when Zod and his cronies begin wreaking havoc—and Lex Luthor joins their side—Superman must reclaim his abilities and protect humanity. The final showdown brings the villains to the Fortress of Solitude, where Superman uses brains over brawn to save the world, while also redefining the meaning of romantic boundaries with a memory-erasing kiss.

Ryan Fehr is a business professor at the University of Washington, where he teaches courses on leadership and personal change. His research focuses on helping people build more joyful and energizing relationships, with a particular interest in gratitude, compassion, and forgiveness. His work has been featured in news outlets such as the New York Times and Wall Street Journal. His first book, focused on helping people build the skills they need for joyful, energizing relationships, is scheduled for publication in the Fall. In this episode we discuss the following: As Ryan said, it's okay to feel burned out by other people sometimes: 72% of parents say they're constantly stressed, 75% said they're too busy to enjoy their lives, and when workers quit, 57% say it's because their relationships are too much. Each of us has a different set point for how much alone time we need, so we should be thoughtful about how to cultivate solitude that energizes us. For Ryan, cultivating solitude that energizes him means going to movies, restaurants, or even new cities alone. At his daughter's elementary school, that meant providing a room for students to take a break from the dance and watch a movie. Going to networking events can be overwhelming for some people. So a strategy Ryan recommends is to just try to have one meaningful conversation. 

This is one of my favorite episodes of the show in recent memory. It's a conversation with the author Salman Rushdie about the experience of losing control of your identity in the world. This happened to Rushdie in the most extreme way. But many of us know some milder version of this — and increasingly so in the age of social media. Rushdie's story is hard to wrap your mind around. When he published his fourth novel, “The Satanic Verses,” in 1988, he was a literary star. And then the Ayatollah of Iran issued a fatwa calling for his assassination. In this episode, Rushdie recounts the ways that upended his world, creating a “shadow self” that he would spend years trying to escape. And he reflects on the different ways he's wrestled with that shadow self — in the years following the fatwa and then more recently, after a 2022 knife attack that nearly killed him.This episode was originally recorded in April 2024. Mentioned:Knife by Salman RushdieMidnight's Children by Salman RushdieBook Recommendations:Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes, translated by Edith GrossmanOne Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García MárquezThe Trial by Franz KafkaThe Castle by Franz KafkaThoughts?

Most of us are so used to notifications and alerts, pings and rings that even if we don't want to be on our phones so much, we don't know how to change it. Yet the constant flow of information is actually harming our brains, relationships, and emotional well-being, even if we don't realize it. Today's guest, author and podcaster Carlos Whittaker, made a radical decision to disconnect from screens for two whole months, and what he learned will blow you away!  He shares what tech is really doing to our brains, the benefits of getting lost and being bored, and how disconnecting leads to reconnecting. Don't worry—he's not suggesting you go off-grid like he did, but explains how it's possible to find balance. So, whether you're feeling burned out, overstimulated, or just curious about how to be more mindful with your screen time, listen in! This conversation will give you practical, actionable steps to help you reset and reconnect—with others and with God.

This episode dives into the brutal, mind-altering experience of spending 60 days alone in Antarctica, and how extreme suffering became a catalyst for spiritual awakening, peak performance, and deep inner peace. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with elite adventurer, Marine Corps veteran, and Fearvana founder Akshay Nanavati, who dragged a 420lb sled solo across Antarctica in a brutal test of endurance, fasting, and spiritual transformation. Akshay shares how he used suffering as a tool to transmute PTSD, expand consciousness, and awaken what he calls the “paradox of oneness”—where discomfort unlocks the deepest joy. Together, they explore how cold therapy, isolation, and extreme hardship reshape dopamine, mitochondria, neurochemistry, and the stories we tell ourselves. Akshay's journey through darkness retreats, trauma healing, and polar expeditions opens a raw and unfiltered look at self-quantification, mental resilience, and human performance at the edge. This episode will challenge your assumptions about comfort, suffering, and what it means to live fully awake. Whether you're optimizing for longevity, exploring consciousness, or breaking free from invisible scripts, this conversation blends science, spirituality, and hardcore biohacking with moments of unexpected humor and wisdom. You'll Learn: • How intentional pain resets your dopamine response and boosts performance • Why Akshay chose fasting and cold exposure over nootropics and psychedelics • How darkness retreats and solitude sharpen consciousness and intuition • The neuroscience behind pain, trauma, and transformation • Why true freedom lies in facing discomfort—not avoiding it • How to find God in suffering and create meaning from chaos Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.
