The Silent Origin of Awareness
Craig Mallett Alternative Title: What You Are Aware Of or Where You Are Aware From? In any practice of cultivation – whether it be meditation, gongfu, qigong, internal alchemy or other esoteric/magical practices – you will tend to have a need to pay attention to some aspect of your being. It is a […]
A Movement Pension
Tom Morrison Most people don’t think about their body’s pension… until they’re already spending it. I’ve got to that stage in life where I realised I haven’t been putting enough into my financial pension to be able to enjoy my later years, and now I’m having to play catch up! And this can be […]
Chaos or Control (or Both)?
Alex Sporticus There are two ways we can improve children and young people’s experience of physical education. We can increase what is good by intentionally creating moments of meaning, enjoyment, progress, and connection. Or we can reduce what is harmful by systematically rooting out and removing abuse, alienation, bullying, embarrassment and injury. However the field often […]
Foundations & Motivations
Jeremy Fein This pyramid idea has been a big theme on walks in the woods with my partner recently, and it landed with a client the other day. I wanna share more of that. What I’m finding interesting and helpful, when I’m finding it interesting and helpful. View this post on Instagram […]

What is Truly “Important”?
Dare Carrasquillo Seeing the Game Through Valuation What is truly “important” within a temporary incarnation? The first big step is to look at our focus on meaning or aspirations the way that most people in colonialism do. This creates a dense web of hardened identity postures — behaviors, neurological patterns, tendencies, preferences, […]
F*ck Galileo
Dave Wardman As we proceed through this year, 2025, I and my brethren have been noting a sharp increase in the number of sentences arising in headlines, that would have be absurd|baffling only a few years ago. ‘portrait of King Charles painted by humanoid artist AI-Da exhibited at the UN’ ‘Yngwie Malmsteam announces new […]
Trial & Error Over Denial & Bullsh*t
Austin Einhorn Here’s something I’ve noticed about practitioners who get stuck: they’re more comfortable being consistently wrong than occasionally uncertain. They’d rather stick with familiar failure than risk looking like they don’t know what they’re doing. The therapist who prescribes the same hip mobility routine for every single runner with IT band issues, even […]

Dare Carrasquillo Debt in this article means that you have overdrawn on your resources and are now consuming more than you recover, store, or generate. Part One: Background Sleep Debt First, watch that clip – it has the VIBE As someone who has been practicing the dao of the night consciously […]
The Truth in Life & Love
Jim Freda What is philosophy? Literally translated it is the love of knowledge. But what then is love? Does it mean that we collect ideas and arrange them lovingly on shelves in all of their variety? A carefully tended garden of ideas? Or is it something more forceful? Is there a drive to go […]
Effective Programs are Personal
Jeremy Fein I’m supposed to shit on cookie cutter programs, right? My whole coaching philosophy is about collaborating with clients to create 100% customized programs. But I actually think there’s room to appreciate both. A generic, simple strength program can work well too. What makes a program effective isn’t shiny new exercises from social […]
Adapting to the Dynamic Pulse of Practice
Ramon Castellanos Today, I want to talk about ‘rhythm’ in context of practice, and learning to adapt to the organically unfolding rhythmic pulse attempting to emerge through you. You see, the whole of each life unfolds and exist within the context of rhythm. There are small rhythms within big rhythms, within even larger rhythmatic […]
A Shift in Perspective
Christian Paev Not “am I good”, but “am I good enough”. Not “does it look good” but “how I feel doing it”. Not “to succeed”, but to “find my point of failure”. A shift in perspective is of utmost importance to all our motivation and approach. Selected shots are a small and insignificant part […]

The Perfectionist Paradox
Craig Mallett The work I am doing is mostly antithetical to what popular culture seeks these days, even the ones that appear on the surface to be working with similar techniques to me. The reason for this is that I am using the techniques not for the goal of getting good at the techniques, […]
Pointing Out The Ridiculous

Planning in PE
Alex Sporticus This blog post is adapted from Teaching about planning in pre-service physical education teacher education: A collaborative self-study and is part of my evolving thoughts about how we teach planning to novice PE teachers. The way we teach novices PE teachers to plan is problematic. There is a resistant taken for granted assumption that […]

On Responsibility
Ramon Castellanos The Weight of Responsibility The word ‘responsibility’ carries an enormous amount of negative charge for many people. Since we were young, we had others weaponize it, and deploy it into our psyche to encase our actions, constrict our desires or justify the way they robbed us of our curiosity by telling us to […]
