Fast fashion is a disaster. For the planet, for the oppressed workers, and for the souls of those who are constantly exhorted to throw out their clothes and buy new ones. Today’s guest offers an antidote.

Is time linear, or cyclical?
According to analog watches, time goes around in circles.
According to calendars and planners and most of Western culture, time moves ever forward.
And few of us take seriously the cycles of nature when we contemplate time and how we move through it.

Philip Shepherd is the author of Radical Wholeness: The Embodied Presence and the Ordinary Grace of Being.
I was introduced to Philip’s work by my friend and teacher Mark Leuchten.
About 12 pages into Radical Wholeness, I felt my entire worldview shift. Some of the cultural blinders that had blocked my understanding of wholeness were revealed, and I began to understand where I was in conflict with myself, and why, and what I could start to do to harmonize myself. I needed to know more.

Happy New Year! I come to you today from the cab of my truck, in my driveway, to talk about the fact that my new office isn’t ready to move in, and it’s January 1, and it’s kind of driving me crazy.
I don’t even have access to my studio, my computer, my completed interviews – nothing. Everything is in tight storage, because I thought the new office would be ready for me by New Year’s Eve.

Kerry Kay is a tango dancer, energy healer, motorcycle rider, and dear friend.
As you’ll hear, she performed a Reiki healing on me many years ago, when I didn’t believe in that sort of thing.
I went on not believing, even as I experienced something pretty remarkable (if not downright miraculous).
Over the years, my own attitudes have softened; the more I know about science, the more I realize science doesn’t know.
So if you’re willing to “go there” with us, you’re in for a fascinating glimpse into the heart and mind of a healer.
