In the ninth episode of the Attunement Podcast, Harry and Samek explore personal transformation through metaphors of mountains and whirlpools. Harry shares insights from his emotional work retreat and new life at Earth Dance, a contact improv center where he's experiencing profound expansion and integration in community. Samek describes his transformative hiking experience, where nature's regulating power allowed him to process emotions with unprecedented ease and connect with the awe-inspiring "mountain energy" that transforms how he moves through the world. Together they dive into Rob Burbea's Soul-Making Dharma, exploring how emptiness and divine relationship coexist, while discussing the infectious quality of empowerment, the gravity of authentic presence, and the "third entity" that emerges in deep connection. The episode concludes with reflections on inner wealth - the ability to experience heaven on earth through the cultivation of soul, emptiness, and conscious relationship with all things.Timestamps:
