RECONNECT – THE MOVIE: Featuring Dennis McKenna, Jordan Peterson, Dr Joe Dispenza & More
Back in 2012 I had my very first Ayahuasca ceremony and, needless to say, I was terrified. But it ended up entirely changing my life and that of my future family. Which is why I decided to revisit the medicine in 2018, participating in three Ayahuasca ceremonies over the course of one week in Costa Rica, and document the process. In the film, we tackle my personal story of trying to build London Real into a global media and transformation company while also struggling with my own disconnection from friends, family and my own species. We also dive deep into the division and tribalism currently facing all of us around the world.
Don’t chase happiness. Become antifragile | Tal Ben-Shahar | Big Think
Antifragility is the idea of putting pressure on a system, or human, the system or human actually grows bigger and stronger. Antifragile systems are all around us. One example of this is our muscular system. We go to the gym to lift weights. By doing so we are putting pressure on our system to help it grow stronger. The human body is an antifragile system. From a psychological perspective, antifragility comes in the form of PTG, or post-traumatic growth. After we experience a stressful event, we learn and grow to become more resilient.

Talks on Sri Ramana Maharshi: Narrated by David Godman – Papaji (Parts I+II)
Description from David Godman’s YouTube channel:
While I was sitting in Annamalai Swami’s ashram, talking about various aspects of Bhagavan’s teachings, Henri Jolicoeur, the man who was filming me, asked a question about Papaji and his devotion to Krishna. What followed was an impromptu interview in which I managed to cover most aspects of Papaji’s early life and his association with Ramana Maharshi. The talk was quite a long one, so we have split this particular story into two episodes.
