An extraordinary episode and start to season three recorded live from my living room with some of my best friends and the most established, devoted yogis. Join us in the light-hearted space of kirtan, which is “the dimension of pure love.” 

I did it! I made it to season three of a Curious Yogi Podcast! Well…we made it. If you’re a returning listener – thank you! And if you’re new here – welcome, welcome, welcome.

I’m so excited to share this first episode with you – and in fact the whole season that is going to unfold… I’m bringing you along on my quest for peace as we navigate living in world that feels perpetually in conflift.

My practice and my questions are really how to live the teachings in a way that feels authentic and appropriate for my own journey and the greater collective.

And as a part of my ever-curious seeking, I’ve created a Patreon page where you can join for free to receive early release episodes or, for only $6 a month, join our monthly satsang sessions where we can discuss the podcast topics in greater detail. As much as I love doing this show – it takes a lot of time and energy. Joining the Patreon community will help me continue this work, which I hope contributes to that peace. The monthly Satsangs will begin in May and be hosted on the last Sunday of each month. 

Along with that cool news this season, I’m also going to be exploring the podcast format with some surprise episodes, and so many incredible guests and friends already lined up to share their insight into actually applying the profound spiritual practices into our day-to-day lives. I totally love this stuff, and actually, I need it – the Satsang, the conversations, the company, the churning of the knowledge.  It inspires my sadhana in ways I never imagined when I started a couple of years ago. 

So, speaking of incredible guests and friends… this first episode back comes to you from my living room with fellow sadhaks, with whom I have the privilege of sharing my own practice on a profoundly personal and intimate level. Some of my favourite friends from Canada, England, Germany, Sweden, Austria and Denmark all happily sing kirtan from my living room and occasionally out of tune – and share in Satsang, which is the absolute joy that brings us all together.
