I’ve been following River’s substack essays for a few years now and I feel a real kinship with his irreverent and genuinely unique perspectives β€” as well as his talent for self-experimentation and weaving together esoteric yet incredibly practical concepts which he uses for self-exploration. In this conversation, you can expect to learn: πŸ’¬ How River was able to use somatic-based practices to go from experiencing an incessant inner-critic and suicidal ideation, to almost no inner-dialogue and opening up access to his emotions. 🧠  We explore the dynamic between what he calls Systems Mode that dominates our culture vs. a more Spontaneous Mode of being. πŸ’€ We both riff on how the ideas of Bill Plotkin are essential for these times, and what it means to β€˜die well’ in order to become genuine adults and experience a sense of aliveness.
