The New Monastics
We dialogue with some of today's leading spiritual teachers and thinkers on all aspects of the contemplative life, with a special focus on interspirituality and new monasticism. Amid continuing changes to our spiritual and religious landscape, we explore the tenets of living a life dedicated to spiritual development and truth.

Tuning the Moment: The Spirituality of Hip-Hop and Performance with Lily Fangz
Lily Fangz is a respected Colorado-based hip-hop artist and freestyle performer, who brings an authentic presence to the stage. Her lyrics are playful, introspective, and often spiritually-oriented. Lily is also a talented visual artist and public speaker with a background in science.
In this episode, we explore the connections between public artistic performance and spiritual teaching, how each may be responsive to the ‘living moment’ and draw on an unseen source. We also discuss art and ritual, tuning oneself or others to the right ‘frequency,’ training and performance, connecting to the body, ‘subversive spirituality,’ self-purifying inspiration, trust and curiosity, true vocation, facing our fears, and becoming comfortable with the unknown and mystery.
