#100 - The Yang Container | Benjamin

For the 100th episode of Life is a Festival, I’m honored to bring you this conversation with my dear friend and spiritual teacher Benjamin. On the show we discuss the consequences of self-indulgence and how to construct a yang container in order to bring structure to an overripe yin. We talk about mentorship through the mirror of deep listening and we explore Benjamin’s lifestyle of radical openness. Finally, we conclude with the next frontier of festivals and the future of this podcast. Benjamin has a big white beard and doesn’t live anywhere. He travels the world helping his friends of whom I am deeply grateful to be counted.
