Listen in as I chat with Sam Hinds about the Imaginal: the in-between realm of reality where archetypes and images convey meaning. Many of us only experience the Imaginal in our dreams, but what might come of engaging with it more intentionally in our waking life?
A bit about Sam: Sam is a scholar and writer, poet and mystic, psychotherapist and, most recently, teacher at the California Institute of Integral Studies. He is a devoted practitioner of meditation drawing from various streams and traditions, including Vajrayana Buddhism and the Soulmaking Dharma lineage developed by the late and beloved teacher of many, Rob Burbea. Sam’s core interests lie at the confluence of integral philosophy, psychological and mystical traditions emphasizing the imaginal, and collective wisdom practices.
