Corey deVos and Stephanie Lepp unpack Stephanie’s Faces of Free Speech—a short-form installation featuring Destiny (Steven Bonnell) performing multiple perspectives on the free speech polarity—then trace why “more speech” only works as a remedy inside healthy information ecosystems. Along the way, they clarify why synthesis isn’t centrist compromise but a sharp integration of the healthiest expressions of opposing poles, and Corey tests the piece through an Integral Life “debate analyzer” prototype that maps polarity, developmental framing, and pathways toward deeper sensemaking.

Barry Johnson and Beena Sharma offer a clear, fast-paced masterclass on polarity wisdom—what polarities are, why they matter, and how to pursue the upsides of interdependent opposites (not by choosing either/or, and not by settling for vague both/and, but by integrating both). Along the way, they ground polarity thinking in a deeper spiritual view and show how our relationship to polarities shifts with developmental maturity, applying the lens to real-world tensions like justice/mercy, claiming power/sharing power, and being/doing across democracy, social change, and inner practice.

Keith Martin Smith and David Arrell diagnose the modern meaning crisis as a cultural imbalance: we’re overtrained in attainment (status, optimization, external validation) and undertrained in attunement (presence, depth, emotional regulation, and real connection), leaving many people “adrift” in a sea of stimulation and “infobesity.” They offer a practical path out—post-tragic devotion, the shift from reacting to responding, and a values → vision → action “life audit”—and invite listeners who want structure and community to join their live Attunement training.

This episode explores how our brains operate as prediction engines, using unconscious mental models to interpret reality — and how those models shape our relationships, identity, and capacity for growth. Drawing from psychotherapy, neuroscience, and integral theory, Dr. Keith Witt and Corey deVos examine how transformation happens when our models break down, and how love, safety, and perspective-taking create the conditions for real psychological and spiritual evolution.

What if awakening isn’t the absence of limitation, but the presence of love within it? In this luminous dialogue, Kabir Kadre and Lama Kimberley Lafferty explore the path of embodied realization — where vulnerability becomes a teacher, the body becomes a mandala, and compassion becomes the clearest expression of truth.

Dr. Keith Witt and Corey deVos explore how cybernetics — the science of self-correcting systems — reveals the hidden logic of love, power, trauma, and societal evolution. Through the lens of integral theory, they trace feedback loops across all dimensions of life, showing how everything from personal healing to political dysfunction is shaped by the quality of communication and coherence in our systems.

After the tragic murder of his father at age 20, Alexander Love began a decades-long journey through grief, spiritual practice, and shadow work — seeking not just to rise above his pain, but to finally and fully include it. In this deeply personal conversation, he shares how real healing began not with transcendence, but with embracing the very wounds he had tried to escape.

Mark Edwards and Bruce Alderman explore Jean-Pierre Faye's "Horseshoe Theory," which reveals that political extremes curve toward each other when they abandon democratic norms, explaining why some voters support both Trump and AOC as anti-establishment alternatives. The discussion introduces meta-theoretical tools including Roy Bhaskar's concept of "demi-reality," Bruno Latour's analysis of "modal confusion," and the possibility of "post-conventional coalitions" that transcend left-right polarization while maintaining democratic integrity.
