FTP104: Retreat Center Vision & Other New Projects

We’ve been diving deep into several projects lately - growing our courses, designing a brand new meditation app, starting the global Future Thinkers meetup initiative, and brainstorming the creation of an in-person retreat center for exploring the ideas and practices we talk about on the podcast and in our courses.

In this episode we discuss our vision for this retreat center, why we want to create it, and what we want to do there. This is still in a very early stage and a work in progress.

We want to share our intention and invite you to collaborate with us on this idea if you feel inspired by it.

103: Cris Beasley - Emotional Health and Self-Sovereignty

103: Cris Beasley - Emotional Health and Self-Sovereignty Our guest in the last two episodes is Cris Beasley, an author, podcaster, ex AI startup founder and healing practitioner who created the Love Lock card deck to help people explore and work with difficult emotions. We asked Cris some of the questions that we often get from our listeners and course participants: how to access the repressed emotions in the body, what are some of the helpful techniques and tools to do it, and how to integrate these emotions into our lives in a healthy way. This episode is in two parts. In Part 1 we talked about the most common 4 emotional responses in difficult situations, the transformative power of breathwork, and other tools to access difficult emotions. You can find Part 1 at https://ift.tt/2M77uAO This is Part 2 where we talk about the role of emotional health in society and why it is crucial for gaining self-sovereignty, as well as the current position of mainstream science on energy work and healing practices.

101: Rebel Wisdom – Who Are The Intellectual Deep Web?

101: Rebel Wisdom – Who Are The Intellectual Deep Web? We recently had a roundtable discussion with David Fuller and Alexander Beiner from Rebel Wisdom. They have been exploring many similar subjects as us, and have interviewed many of the same people like Daniel Schmachtenberger, Jordan Greenhall, and Jamie Wheal. We talked about the Intellectual Dark Web, where the conversation seems to be heading, the emergence of the Intellectual Deep Web, and how to find cohesion and unity in a decentralized world. In This Episode of Future Thinkers: - The Integral OS - The risks of getting caught in a single philosophical framework for understanding reality - What is the problem with Intellectual Dark Web, and how it’s moving away from the sense-making conversations - What is Intellectual Deep Web and who are its representatives today - How to turn this conversation into a wider cultural movement, and include more artists in it - Why consistent self-transformative practices are important on individual and community level - Is it possible to regard The Earth as a higher order meaning that people can connect with? - Developing mental sovereignty as an internal compass - Who are the next generation of elders and how they can keep their relevancy in the fast changing world?
