  • How Spirituality, Politics, and Philosophy Shape Reality w/ C. Derick Varn
    May 1 2026

    C. Derick Varn is a poet, philosopher, and podcaster (among so much else). He comes on The Container to talk about how we make reality. Spoiler alert: it's a mixture of spirit, mind, history, politics, and so on. In particular, he helps us understand why the political left broke off from spirituality. We even talk a little bit about how to enchant the incredible theoretical work of Marx and those he later influenced.

    Varn gives us so much rich context to chew on. And we're even more excited because Varn is a long-time podcasting hero of Jonathan's, so that makes it all the more fun and rewarding.

  • The Relating Arts (R)evolution w/ Peter Munthe-Kaas
    Apr 23 2026

    The Relating Arts teach us how to engage with ourselves, each other, and the world in a more conscious way. So, what would happen if we grew these practices at scale?

    Peter Munthe-Kaas comes on The Container to talk about just that. His Relating Arts project gathers these kinds of practices into a single, easy to use space. It's beautiful, too!

    [There is an audio issue on this episode with Jonathan's mic. We had a discussion and everything is better now, thank you.]

  • The Big Rebirth Is Coming
    Apr 15 2026

    The rebirth of humanity is upon us. Everywhere you look, people are participating in something big. The renewable energy revolution. The rise of urban agriculture. The return of God and enchantment.

    All over the place, we find signs that humanity is about to undergo a cultural, spiritual, and economic revival and renaissance.

    But here's the thing: we have to be the ones to do it.

    We can't wait for others. It has to be us.

    A bit of an odd episode, but one that really comes from the heart.
