What is Soul?

from Illuminating Life · host Tucker Walsh

What is soul, really? Not as a theological concept or a developmental framework, but as something you feel, in your body, in a room, in a piece of music that breaks you open? In this conversation, Alexander Love sits down with Ari Nazem and Tucker Walsh to explore soul through Chinese wisdom traditions, the phenomenology of art and music, the shamanic architecture of the human body, and the lived experience of moments when something numinous tips over and reality becomes theatrical...ancient, alive, and undeniably more. They wander through lightning bolts and rain dances, Alicia Keys and the Knicks, Hades Town and Burning Man, jazz and grief and the Eleusinian Mysteries, finding in all of it a common thread: the places where heaven and earth make contact through the human heart. This is an invitation to remember what it feels like to be in soul, and to ask what it might mean to build a life, a community, and a culture worthy of it.
