Sadhaka Saturday, Snippets of Western Philosophy – March 21, 2026
With Hareesh Wallis
Hareesh explores the interplay between Western philosophical thought and spiritual practice, framing it as a bridge between abstract ideas and lived experience. He suggests that these traditions, though often discussed in isolation, can illuminate each other when approached with curiosity and direct engagement. The focus remains on how philosophical inquiry and spiritual insight inform one another, particularly in the context of personal growth and self-awareness. He references thinkers like Mary Harrington and Peter Wessel Zapffe to ground the philosophical exploration in contemporary critiques of human nature and civilization.
Topics from Kula: awakened relating and seeing a long-term partner as a mystery, embodiment and essence nature, ideological differences in a relationship, christianity and tantra, how to speak of Tantrik teachings without baggage.
