What’s this pod about?
We are Tasha Schumann and Jeff Warren, two writers, creators, and meditation teachers. Our subject is the weird and wonderful world of “practice,” i.e., things we can do with our minds and bodies in order to learn, grow, and heal. In each episode, we invite a guest to guide us in a unique practice and share a unique perspective on life.
We don’t just chat with our guests – they take us somewhere. And you come with us. Therefore: adventure!
Our guides run the gamut from well-known teachers, researchers, and therapists to freestyle healers, artists, mystics, and innovators. We focus on diversity and inclusivity – of age, background, and intellectual style. We’ve found thoughtful and sensitive practitioners in every area of human life, so we don’t limit ourselves to orthodox modes and authorities. The practices we explore include meditation, therapy, movement, psychedelics, dreaming, art, communication, sexuality, strange mystical technologies, and much more.
Why practice in a podcast?
Practices teach us things. They sensitize us to subtle dynamics in our minds and bodies. They help us create new habits. They expand our capacity. They expand our consciousness.
Ultimately, The Mind Bod Adventure Pod is a way for people to connect with techniques and resources to support them in life. As we learn to care for ourselves, we’re better able to care for the world and each other.
Come join us!
