Mar 301:00:55Tap to summarizeThis week, Thomas sits down with celebrated speaker, posthumanist thinker, poet, teacher, and author, Bayo Akomolafe, for a philosophical and spiritual exploration into how we understand reality and the radical perception shifts and awakenings that are necessary for true social transformation to become possible.In his uniquely poetic way, Bayo interrogates traditional solutions to social and ecological problems that only uphold harmful norms, and offers that real change is brought about through what he calls “cracks”—disruptions to systems and modes of thinking that inspire new ideas instead of trying to bring about change via the ineffective paths that are already built into our failing social structures.He and Thomas discuss the discomfort that comes with ushering in new realities, and how important it is that we lean in to this uncomfortable uncertainty, embrace radical compassion, and rethink our relationship to the more-than-human world.✨ Watch the video version of this episode on YouTube:👉 https://youtu.be/U7kgPzozjlYVideo episodes are typically posted at 8am PT/ 11am ET✨ Bayo Akomolafe is a widely celebrated international speaker, posthumanist thinker, poet, teacher, public intellectual, essayist, and author of books including These Wilds Beyond our Fences: Letters to My Daughter on Humanity’s Search for Home and We Will Tell our Own Story: The Lions of Africa Speak.

Francis Weller | Embracing the Wisdom of Grief
Aug 19Tap to summarizeHow does crossing the threshold of grief open the gateway to other potent emotions?In part two of their conversation on grief, healing, and social transformation, Thomas and Francis Weller discuss what it means to become an apprentice to grief, how communal healing leads to individual and social maturity, and why it’s so important to lean into our interconnectedness when times are tough.Explore what’s lacking in Western cultures’ approach to processing grief and what might change if we create collective spaces, led by seasoned elders, to connect through our shared sorrows. Can we reclaim our humanity and remember how to live in harmony with the world? Francis believes that we can, but we must have the courage to look inward, sit in the heat of our own grief, and not turn away.✨ Click here to watch the video version of this episode on YouTube:👉 https://youtu.be/kDhGhHSOSawVideo episodes are typically posted at 8am PT/ 11am ET✨ Sign up for updates by visiting our website: 👉 https://pointofrelationpodcast.com ✨ Francis Weller, MFT, is a psychotherapist, author, and soul activist.

Francis Weller | Grief Rituals and Soul Hygiene
Aug 12Tap to summarizeWhat if opening yourself to grief could actually help you feel more alive?This week, Thomas sits down with psychotherapist, writer, and soul activist Francis Weller for a powerful conversation about befriending grief, embracing healing rituals in collective spaces, and the power of the past to transform the future.It’s so common for people in pain to turn away from it, to avoid their grief and sorrow, or to think that they can muscle through in isolation. But in the deep wisdom that Francis shares here, the opposite is true. Our personal grief, as well as the trauma inherited from our ancestors, yearns for a social container where it can be safely and openly witnessed, processed, and integrated.The beauty in this is what comes from this relationship to grief, and that’s access to a vast wellspring of inspiration, intuition, and renewed vitality. Francis and Thomas dive deep into how we can open ourselves to these processes and how they can transmute collective sorrow into profound societal transformation.The second half of Thomas and Francis' conversation will air next week.✨ Click here to watch the video version of this episode on YouTube:👉 https://youtu.be/Lo49jsP-oWwVideo episodes are typically posted at 8am PT/ 11am ET✨ Available Now: Love, Trauma, and Healing, a self-paced online course from Thomas and couples therapy expert Terry Real. ✨Learn the practices to heal past wounds and more deeply connect with yourself, your partner, and the world at large.Experience how Thomas and Terry combine methods from psychotherapy and spiritual practices to bring your relationships to the next level.Learn more and access the course here:👉 https://www.lovetraumahealing.com/podcast✨ Sign up for updates by visiting our website: 👉 https://pointofrelationpodcast.com ✨ Francis Weller, MFT, is a psychotherapist, author, and soul activist.
