In this soul-deep conversation, I sit with Henry Shukman—poet, Zen teacher, and author of Original Love—as he shares his life-altering awakening on a solitary beach at 19. We explore how a spontaneous experience of cosmic oneness shattered his rational worldview, the crushing depression that followed, and how meditation became his lifeline through suicidal darkness. Henry reveals what neuroscience says about timeless consciousness, why ‘emptiness’ is full of everything, and how surrendering to divine guidance (what he calls ‘getting the email’) rewires suffering into grace. If you’ve ever felt separate, stuck in time, or longed to touch the fabric of all-that-is, this episode is a love letter to your soul’s wholeness."

In this episode, I sit with Persian poet and Sufi scholar Sholeh Wolpé to unravel Rumi’s spiritual master Attar’s hidden teachings. We explore how Iran’s crisis mirrors global soul-loss, why feminine leadership heals tyranny, and Attar’s life-changing metaphor: 'Meeting God is seeing yourself in the mirror.' Sholeh shares urgent wisdom for staying centered amid chaos, practical ego-clearing steps from 12th-century mysticism, and how her upcoming book 'The Invisible Sun' brings light to modern darkness. If you’re feeling powerless or seeking deeper connection to your soul’s purpose, this conversation is your anchor. Pre-order Sholeh’s book & connect below.
