Intimacy

Today's episode of the podcast is all about intimacy, which I define as any form of deepened human connection between people that could fall into one or more of the following categories; emotional, energetic, intellectual, or physical. I'm talking beyond the 2-second second bro hug, handshake, or high five. I explore some fun ways you can deepen the practice of intimacy, like active listening, eye gazing, hugging, cuddling, and acroyoga.

 We tend to think of intimacy as happening between romantic partners, i.e sexual in nature. While intimacy has become euphemistic of sex, in reality it simply means any form of closeness.  Extending the practice of intimacy beyond the confines of the monogamous romantic partnership, I think has the potential to be a healing influence in all of our lives. Related to my own experience, I aim to normalize intimacy between men. I know firsthand the power of giving and receiving genuine offerings  of love between men. I share some moments like that, many of which I consider to be my some of my most profound intimate moments.

The Nomadic Lifestyle

In today's episode, I break down the pros and cons of transience aka being nomadic. I tell stories about the period of my life where I didn't live somewhere longer than 3 months. I talk about alternative lifeways and ways to be nomadic with a purpose like WOOFing, Americorps, and bicycle touring. I philosophize, and idealize, and 

I also critique the system that doesn't introduce us as 18 year-olds to the possibilities outside of realm of institutional learning. This podcast is named the way it is for a reason and that's because LIVING IS LEARNING. Getting out into the world is the best way to learn both about the world and what we are really made of. 

It's not always easy, and I get real about some of the hard moments, but authentic experiences are invaluable to who we are becoming. Even if it doesn't on paper add any credentials to our life, how we navigate the world outside of our comfort zone will be what makes us stand out.
