Just returned from a week in Toronto, recording for the upcoming Rebel Wisdom documentary on John Vervaeke’s work. Also recorded a brilliant and deep conversation with both John & Jonathan Pageau about the interplay of science and religion, the nature of beauty, the role of criticism and the state of the evolving conversation. Look out for that soon. Thank you to Chris Altorf, Casey Altorf & Judah Hernandez at Black & White media for brilliant support and professionalism: https://www.blackwhitemedia.ca/about-usPhotos from Rebel Wisdom’s post
