Manage episode 482339650 series 3665212
In this thought-provoking conversation, Zach Bell, a founding advisor of The Portal, explores the evolution of community, identity, and spirituality in a rapidly changing world. He discusses the shift from traditional third spaces to new gathering hubs like The Portal, the parallels between historical renaissances and today’s digital era, and the role of technology in reshaping human connection.
Zach also introduces Namuna, a nonprofit structured as a "religion of no religion," designed to support spiritual teachers and wisdom keepers in a world that often undervalues their work. The discussion delves into the balance between science and mysticism, the risks of surface-level spirituality, and the transformative power of surrender.
With deep insights on cultural movements, counterculture history, and the future of collective belonging, this episode is an invitation to rethink how we define and cultivate meaningful community in the modern age.
