What’s the secret to lasting friendships? How does queer community show up through the ebbs and flows of life? And what’s the REAL story behind the “YMCA” song? In the first episode of Silver Linings, The Old Gays dive into an essential part of queer life: chosen family. They discuss the vital love, support, and sense of belonging that community provides, especially during life's toughest moments. They open up about what “queer” means to them, how chosen family has impacted their lives, and how to maintain close bonds over time–including their love for each other! “We’ve come a long way, baby.” Family isn’t just what you’re born with; it’s the people who show up, shape you, and stick around.

A live online course with Dr. Marc GafniCourse begins: June 8Format: Live teachings + interactive Q&AHost: Parallax (online)More info: https://parallax-media.com/courses/unique-self-2-portal-3This course explores the evolutionary arc of human intimacy through three foundational forms of relationship: Role Mate, Soul Mate, and Whole Mate. Beginning with the ontology of relationship itself, we investigate how roles shape our identities and interactions, not just with others, but with life, the cosmos, and the divine. The Role Mate is often dismissed or undervalued, yet it forms the crucial infrastructure of relational life. Week one sets the ground for understanding this layer of connection, where self and society meet through structure, function, and context.…

Luke Bhencke -Gurdjieff´s Christianity - The Fourth Way’s Prehistoric Teachings of Christ, avaliable NOW at Parallax Press: https://www.parallax-media.com/books/gurdjieffschristianity A deep and practical study of Gurdjieff’s writings, understood on their own terms, reveals a profound vision. Gurdjieff indicates clearly, and at times staggeringly so, that his ""system"", commonly referred to as the Fourth Way or the Work, is the continuation of Christ’s original doctrine that should not be confused with the teachings of modern Christianity that he claims have been irrevocably and inevitably distorted. He emphasizes that this system is part of a broader esoteric lineage that stretches far back into humanity’s prehistory and coming together in the incarnation of Jesus Christ. In this context, Gurdjieff reclaims Christianity as a school of inner transformation aimed at awakening the full potential of the human being and restoring the human connection to the divine. The material provided in this book is but a glimpse into that extraordinary vision. Bio: Raised in rural and outback Australia, Luke’s background in biomedical science and physical education, with diverse interests in philosophy, religion and art - ultimately drew him to Gurdjieff’s system where he has been a practitioner working with groups and individuals from around the world since 2000. Explorations related to Gurdjieff’s Fourth Way and Christianity can be found on his blogsite at 'Faith made Flesh’…

Born on May 12, 1978, in Los Angeles, California, Ebert grew up immersed in music and creativity, with a particular fascination for storytelling and human connection. Early in his career, he gained recognition as the lead singer of the dance-punk band Ima Robot, whose energetic sound contrasted with the soulful, communal vibe he later cultivated with Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. Ebert’s work with Edward Sharpe brought him international acclaim, particularly for the hit song Home, a jubilant anthem of love and togetherness. The band’s music is characterized by lush instrumentation and heartfelt lyrics that evoke a sense of spiritual exploration. Beyond his work as a bandleader, Ebert has also made his mark in film, winning a Golden Globe for his original score for the 2013 film All Is Lost starring Robert Redford. Ebert’s artistic ethos revolves around fostering collective joy and introspection, often blending personal vulnerability with universal themes. A multi-faceted creative, he continues to explore new avenues in music, film, and philosophy, inspiring audiences worldwide.…
