Stoking the Fire
Stoking the Fire is a podcast that explores practices of wellness and spirituality from a nuanced perspective. With different guests on the show each week sharing their own experiences, we discuss practices that stoke the fire within, those that extinguish it, and the mysterious phenomena along the way. Themes include: cultural and social structures, trauma, Eastern medicine, addiction, cults, bodily autonomy, sexuality, abuses of power, feminist spirituality, the wounded masculine, the prison industrial complex, psychedelics, and more.
