🔥✨ 2026 is an UNPRECEDENTED MOMENT in Our History.

The one and only - Harvard philosopher and legendary astrological scholar Richard Tarnas — author of Cosmos and Psyche — reveals why we are living through a once-in-a-civilisation liminal moment. After 50 years of groundbreaking research that began with psychedelics and led him to astrology,

🎬 IN THIS EPISODE

Richard Tarnas, the visionary author of Cosmos and Psyche, invites you on a profound journey from the cliffs of Esalen to the heart of an "ensouled universe". In this captivating dialogue, Tarnas recounts his transformative decade at the Esalen Institute, where he was mentored by psychedelic pioneer Stanislav Grof and helped shape the human potential movement. He reveals the breakthrough bridging depth psychology and the stars: the discovery that planetary movements correlate consistently with the "archetypal fields" of human experience.

Tarnas challenges the dismissal of astrology as the "gold standard of superstition," offering instead an "archetypally predictive" lens on our lives. From humanity's "liminal" crisis of meaning to the current renaissance of astrology, he explores our role as participants in an intelligent, cosmic music. This is an essential exploration for seekers bridging ancient wisdom with the modern world.
