Stewart Gilchrist | How to live by example & go beyond the fear of death? | S2 Ep 1

“The only way you can instill it in other people is by example”

In this first episode back I’m talking to teacher and friend Stewart Gilchrist who is a radical traditionalist truly living what he speaks as a yogi, an activist, a student and a teacher. Stew takes the conversation from conceptual knowledge to lived experience of just how vast and ancient this human experience is - especially with yoga as a guiding lens.

Some key points we touch on:

06:30 ➖Ethics, morals and veganism

23:00 ➖Your sadhana as a living example

28:54 ➖Importance and difficulty of being discerning

38:36 ➖Abhinivesh the fear of death

45:01 ➖Entheogenic plants and spiritual happenings

1:04:01 ➖Things are gonna go really, really wrong

Books Stew mentions:

➖The Cosmic Serpent by Jeremy Narby

➖Pharmacophilia or The Natural Paradises by Jonathan Ott

➖Yoga in Modern India: The Body between Science and Philosophy by Joseph S. Alter

With love and oneness,
