Frank Elaridi began his career as a journalist, going on to win four Emmys and covering everything from forest fires to celebrities. But then, he struck out on his own to spread the story of mysterious practitioners who are able to see while blindfolded. That began an odyssey into the strange world of spiritual powers where he ended up becoming a healer himself.

Today, his podcast Quite Frankly gets millions of downloads and his energy healing helps everything from physical illnesses to relationships to mental and spiritual wellbeing.

Stephen Jenkinson is a culture activist and author who brings together ceremony, music, and story. His much-loved book Die Wise taught us how to face that hardest of topics: death. In 2024, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Now, in his new book Trembling Still, he captures in intimate detail his path with the illness.

C. Derick Varn is a poet, philosopher, and podcaster (among so much else). He comes on The Container to talk about how we make reality. Spoiler alert: it's a mixture of spirit, mind, history, politics, and so on. In particular, he helps us understand why the political left broke off from spirituality. We even talk a little bit about how to enchant the incredible theoretical work of Marx and those he later influenced.

Varn gives us so much rich context to chew on. And we're even more excited because Varn is a long-time podcasting hero of Jonathan's, so that makes it all the more fun and rewarding.

The Relating Arts teach us how to engage with ourselves, each other, and the world in a more conscious way. So, what would happen if we grew these practices at scale?

Peter Munthe-Kaas comes on The Container to talk about just that. His Relating Arts project gathers these kinds of practices into a single, easy to use space. It's beautiful, too!

[There is an audio issue on this episode with Jonathan's mic. We had a discussion and everything is better now, thank you.]

The rebirth of humanity is upon us. Everywhere you look, people are participating in something big. The renewable energy revolution. The rise of urban agriculture. The return of God and enchantment.

All over the place, we find signs that humanity is about to undergo a cultural, spiritual, and economic revival and renaissance.

But here's the thing: we have to be the ones to do it.

We can't wait for others. It has to be us.

A bit of an odd episode, but one that really comes from the heart.

Lubaina Choudhury is a powerful energy healer with a hands-on, in-depth knowledge of how to care for and operate this magnificent human body.

Her background is in Eastern traditions like yoga. But her mentor delivered high impact teachings from the Kabbalah, a fundamental force in Western Occultism. Now, she blends East and West (along with her own inherent gifts and honed skills) into a healing modality that far surpasses what we are told is possible.

In this episode, she talks to us about her path and how her power to heal informs her view of the universe and daily life. We come away with a far richer understanding of how to inhabit this strange realm we call reality.

If you’d like to work with her (she does do long-distance healing over Zoom!) you can find her:

• At her website www.lifeishealing.net
• On her podcast Life is Healing with Lubaina

The Container is launching a new adventure: Mystical Creatures.

On this journey, Jonathan and Marei are going to deep dive into mystical practice, that collection of tools that bring us into radical union with the sacred. Call it God, why don’t you?

In this conversation, Marei talks about her life, how she began to notice something strange was going on, and how you can begin to reclaim your birthright as a mystical creature.

Near the end, Marei even teaches us some pointers we can use to drop into a more unitive state of presence.

To get coaching from Marei and find out more about events she is leading, check out here website here: https://www.intopresence.se/

You can also contact her directly at: kmareikec@gmail.com
