Wednesday Aug 12, 2015
This short blast came out of a question Anna was asked about the possible impact of yoga practice on one's happiness. The conversation segues into a brief discussion of santosha which is Patanjali's term for contentment, and then into a consideration of psychological resilience. These are themes that we will expand upon in future podcasts. [16 minutes. Free.]

CHAOS AND COSMOS PART 1

Tuesday Jul 28, 2015
This podcast is the first in a series of four on the wide theme of Chaos and Cosmos. One of the main structuring elements of the talk is an examination of three great ancient process philosophers, namely, Heraclitus, Lao Tzu and the Buddha. In this first episode, the main features of the process world-view that the three share is explicated. I also weave in the story of an imagined meeting between these three at a pub on The Island of Anglesey, a meeting engineered by the love-lorn arch-druid Taliesin, who hopes that the three wisest men of the age can help him get the girl. This was recorded at a talk with friends at The Parkdale Yoga Center. [1 hour 14 minutes. Free.]
