Two poets, four Israelis and Palestinians, a philosopher rabbi, a neuroscientist, and a storyteller for new generations. There is beauty and pragmatic wisdom and nourishment for our hurting world and for witnessing each other's hurt and each other's promise. There are life-giving, transformatively healing ways forward, even in the most devastating of human circumstances. There is searching and pondering on what love really means and how it works and what hope can mean in this world in which hopelessness feels so reasonable.
0:53And an introduction to majestic learning underway about new transformative healing of our brains and our lives emerging from the frontier of psychedelically assisted therapeutic treatments. It all begins next Thursday. Please help me spread the word and join us.

Five new On Being episodes will begin to roll out next week …
We begin with the delightful beloved poets (and friends) Joy Harjo and Tracy K. Smith in conversation together with Krista. We move on to the neuroscientist Gül Dölen; a community of Israelis and Palestinians who will expand your heart and moral imagination; philosopher rabbi Shai Held; and, because we can't get enough of him, a wonderful new sit-down with Krista and Jason Reynolds on hope in this time and in friendship with the young in our world.
All of them offer beauty and pragmatic nourishment for ourselves and for witnessing each other's hurt and each other's promise. There is searching and pondering on what love really means and how it works and what hope can mean in this world in which hopelessness feels so reasonable. And be prepared to be amazed in an introduction to majestic learning underway about new, transformative healing of our brains and our lives emerging from the frontier of psychedelically-assisted therapeutic treatments.
