Banjo Glass: Creation, Culture, and the Alchemy of Connection

King Hero Interview
Live Monday, June 15 at 1 PM CDT

The emergence of culture. The synergy of human beings creating together. And the mysterious process by which something seemingly comes from nothing.

In this episode of the King Hero's Journey, I'm welcoming pioneering glass artist Banjo Glass for a conversation about creation, culture, and what happens when people gather around shared values.

Our connection began through my recen…

Beth of Fresh Air — Episode 32

De-Cult Inner Work

Live June 12th, 2 PM CDT

More than 25 years ago, I left what I now openly call a cult.

If you've followed my work for any length of time, you've probably heard me mention my years in India and the spiritual organization I devoted myself to in my twenties.

In 1999, when victims began coming forward with accounts of sexual abuse by the group's leader, I left immediately.

At the time, I was fighting for my life with Stage 4 lymphoma. The choic…

King Hero Interview
Live Monday, June 8 at 12:30 PM CDT

What becomes real when sight extends beyond the eyes?

In this King Hero interview, I'm welcoming back Dr. Edith Ubuntu Chan for our third conversation together.

Over the past several years, I've watched Edith conduct extraordinary explorations into consciousness, blindfold vision, telepathy, healing, and human potential. Her work raises profound questions about perception, awareness, and the capacities th…

Re-Tell

Live June 5th, 2 PM CDT

Story is food for humans.

We spend a lot of time thinking about what nourishes us physically, emotionally, and mentally, yet many people are starving for story.

Not only for information, instructions, and guidance. But authentically told story that carries something real and can be the food for something else real to grow.

There are all kinds of stories in the world. Stories that shape cultures. Stories that influence behavior.…

Sublimate (with Micah Ellars)

Live Friday, May 29th at 2 PM CDT

Sublimate 💫

To sublimate is to refine raw material into a higher expression.

To take the friction, experiences, talents, and struggles of life and allow them to become substance for consciousness.

This isn’t about superiority over others.

It’s about becoming less mechanically run by programs and more connected to the essential inner being that supports real freedom.

There is a spiritual worth…

Beth of Fresh Air — Episode 29: Synergize (with Micah Ellars)

Friday, May 22nd at 2:00 PM CDT

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Synergy is what happens when something new is created through coming together.

In groups, it has a recognizable structure:

• A common aim and shared intention

• Real opportunities for contribution

• Individual purpose remaining intact, and something new is born

James Hillman called this new thing a daimon — a third being or soul that emer…

Beth of Fresh Air — Converge with Dawn Lester

May 15th, 2 PM CDT

This episode comes straight out of a real-life meeting at Confluence.

Something became unmistakably clear to me there — what it looks like when a community forms organically. Not managed. Not engineered. Not pushed into existence.

But something that actually converges.

Confluence itself is a living example of this. You can feel the difference when you’re in it. People aren’t being organized… they’re finding each other.

And th…

Future Man is known for creating entirely new instruments, including the Drumitar, which allows him to play a full drum kit w…

The Lie of Safe Supply with Drew Couver [King Hero Interview]

*To be rescheduled*

In this episode of King Hero’s Journey…

What happens when something called “safe”… quietly removes the very thing that makes us human?

Choice. Agency. Will.

Across Canada, so-called safe supply programs are being positioned as compassionate solutions to addiction and homelessness.

But beneath the surface, there are deeper questions most people aren’t asking.

Is this truly help… or is it maintenance?

Is it…
