    Howling with writer and teacher Tom Cheetham about Henry Corbin, Carl Jung, imagination and discovering your own psycho-cosmology
    “Languages and cultures are complex and interpenetrating systems of ideas and behaviors that give structure to our daily lives. Most of the time we pay little or no attention to these structures of ideas, behavior and experience. When we do, it is often because we discover that somewhere else “they” do things differently. They speak funny. They have weird ideas. They think foolish things. If we are alert, and lucky, we may then wonder why “we” think what we do, why we do the things we do. And in that moment we can see the glimmer of our freedom. There are other ways to be human!”

    Howling with depth psychologist and writer Douglas Thomas about the 2025 movie Pillion and his book The Deep Psychology of BDSM and Kink.
    “This book considers a central question: How is the psychological notion of the soul pertinent to the activities and relationships of BDSM and kink? What follows is a depth psychological exploration of modern intentionally transgressive sexualities. Sometimes referred to as radical sexualities or alternative sexualities, these terms refer to a range of activities and relationships that are interrelated in some combination of eroticism, sexual expression, and a structured imbalance of authority.” — Douglas Thomas

    (Part One) Tending the Fire: Creativity, Purpose, and the Unfolding Self  | Enrique Martinez Celaya | HITW 216

    Howling with artist and author Enrique Martinez Celaya about the book Tending the Fire: Creativity, Purpose, and the Unfolding Self co-authored with Jungian psychoanalyst James Hollis
    “As an artist, the willingness to challenge received ideas and certainties is essential, and while it carries risks, I was never afraid of them. Art has nurtured this confidence while keeping it from hardening into hubris. In different but connected ways, art and the world have revealed the beauty at the heart of things, the interplay of tenderness and destruction, and the sustaining tension between transience and permanence. In doing so, they have shown me that questioning is not mere defiance, not a restless urge to reinvent the wheel or reject meaning, but a pursuit of something that endures both time and scrutiny.” — Enrique Martínez Celaya
    Enrique Martínez Celaya is an artist, author, and former scientist whose work encompasses painting, sculpture, drawing, immersive environments, essays, poetry, and fiction. His practice examines the experience of the individual amid social, ethical, and existential conditions, and the capacity of art to widen perception and lend structure to meaning. These concerns take form through materials ranging from oil paint and bronze to tar, blood, and sugar, as he investigates the nature of art, memory, exile, and the legacies of history.
