Brenden's Labyrinth
140 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 2 years ago - ★★★★★ - 46 ratingsThrough this podcast, I hope to further my journey into ideas, philosophy, spirituality, psychedelics, and science by utilizing everything around us from our culture, myths, religions, films, tv shows, books, poetry, music…and anything else you can think of. My intention is to create a space to question our belief structures and present ideas through an entertaining, empowering, and thought-provoking method. I do this by explaining my own struggles, and interpretations, and bringing in information that has helped me make sense of this strange existence. So, this sort of public journal of mine is a personal experiment that I hope others find useful.I’m hoping my vulnerability is something you will be able to relate to. And then know you’re not alone in this confusing existence!
