I read from a collection of my short essays and evocative stories, published this year in the delightful volume Sensoria by Humans & Nature Press. Rich in description and transportive imagery, I’ll bring you on a journey deep into the lush forests of Northern California, where your senses will flip and knowing suspended; the trekking foottrails of the high Himalayas on a pilgrimage around the sacred mountain Manaslu; asking what it means to live in a topography of prayer, the body as a doorway to deep participation, traces of longing, psyche and Eros, and what the significance of this may be in how we approach the potential of these times. A friend playfully called these “phenomenological field notes tackling human cognition, imagination and culture”. Sit back and enjoy.
Look out for meditations, poems, readings, and other snippets of inspiration in between episodes.
