Together, we explore how our culture shapes our relationship with animals and the living world, the role of intuition and awareness in personal and collective change, and what it means to live with greater compassion in everyday life.

This conversation is an invitation to look more deeply at the systems we participate in and the possibilities that emerge when we begin to see them more clearly.

What if the universe is not something we look out at but something we are living from within?

In this conversation, we sit with Rebecca-Sophia Strong, creator of Embodied Cosmology®, whose work asks a radical question: What happens when the 13.8-billion-year story of the universe becomes something we embody?

Through immersive theater, movement-based learning, and deep-time imagination, Rebecca-Sophia invites us beyond the role of observer and into participation where cosmology becomes lived experience, and imagination becomes a force of nature.

We explore how the story of the cosmos can hold personal grief, reframe identity, and awaken a deeper sense of belonging. What emerges is not just a new way of understanding the universe, but a new way of being human within it.

This is a conversation we ask: how might we begin to live as conscious participants in an evolving universe?

Author Brian Muldoon joins us to discuss his novel The Luminous One, which reimagines the missing years of Jesus between ages 12 and 30.

In this conversation, we explore Jesus as a mystic and moral leader who may have encountered diverse spiritual traditions along ancient trade routes. Our discussion touches on Christian mysticism, Christ consciousness, imagination as a path to spiritual insight, and the radical ethical teachings that challenged the social boundaries of Jesus’ time.

______________

Brian Muldoon is an attorney, mediator, author, and longtime explorer of the spiritual life. After beginning his career as an intellectual property and entertainment lawyer in the late 1970s, he became a pioneer in mediation and conflict resolution, co-founding one of the first mediation firms in the United States. Over the course of 25 years he helped resolve thousands of disputes and authored The Heart of Conflict, a book widely used in graduate programs, corporate leadership training, and military education.

Brian’s work has long bridged law, spirituality, and interfaith dialogue. In 1993 he helped lead the facilitation team for the historic Parliament of the World’s Religions, and later served as executive director of Chicago’s Metropolitan Interfaith Initiative. In 1999 he co-organized the Synthesis Dialogues in Dharamsala, India with His Holiness the Dalai Lama and forty leading thinkers and spiritual leaders—an event later featured in the award-winning documentary Dalai Lama Renaissance, narrated by Harrison Ford.

A lifelong seeker drawn to the contemplative life since childhood, Brian has continued to explore what it means to live as “a monk in the world.” His novel The Luminous One reimagines the missing years of Jesus through the lens of mysticism, spiritual development, and cross-cultural wisdom traditions.
