In this episode we're exploring the ancient and profound teaching of the Five Wisdom Energies of Tibetan Buddhism (also called the five Buddha families). This teaching is a Tantric Buddhist view of reading the energies that constitute our physical reality, how they manifest in relationships, personalities, landscapes, music, food, and societies. While coming from the Tibetan system, this is a completely secular view of the world that empowers us to open ourselves to the current unfolding moment and to flow with the currents of the energies at play. Irini is the current torchbearer of this view and has been training her students in how to utilize it for over 30 years! She was a student of the venerable Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche and a professional dancer. She's written two books on the topic, 'The Five Wisdom Energies, a Buddhist Way of Understanding Personalities, Emotions and Relationships and Natural Brilliance' and is the founder of the Five Wisdoms Institute. https://islandsofcoherencepod.com/episodes/the-artists-way-with-ill-gates monthly 0.5 2021-12-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a7d6d6de98fd0f5adea3cc/1624982054609-XNT9UTYYR2BVVSV9FPBU/unnamed.jpg Episodes - The Artists Way with ill Gates Joining us this week is the sensei of the Producer Dojo, ill Gates!

In this inaugural debut, I'm diving deep into some of the core principles underlying the show that I haven't had the time to fully articulate. To do this I spend some time drawing out a map of 21st century wellness that includes our relationships to aspects of the external world as well as finding internal harmony within our lifestyle choices. I also spend some time talking about why I personally find it important to include psychedelics and spirituality into the conversation, what my role in this show is, and a roadmap of what the future looks like for this platform. With all that said, this episode marks the end of Chapter 1 of this conversation and will kick off a month long hiatus that will allow me to prepare the next batch of content, with a new website, video functionality, Patreon support, and a slew of new conversations expanding what it means to be alive in this strange time we find ourselves in. If you haven't already, now would be a great time to follow us on social media to stay up to date on the approaching Chapter 2! Enjoy the start of summer, be kind to each other, and tell the truth.

The world is in freefall - politically, ecologically, spiritually - and most of us can feel it. But Nobel Prize-winning physicist Ilya Prigogine showed us something remarkable: when a system is in chaos, small pockets of coherence don’t just survive - they can shift the entire system toward a higher order. This show is about building those pockets. Each episode draws from spiritual practice, somatic work, artmaking, ecology, and activism to explore a single question: how do we cultivate wholeness - in ourselves, in our communities - while everything around us fragments? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a7d6d6de98fd0f5adea3cc/71f02e40-8d7b-46dc-9e9f-3bb77c4d8a36/21st+century+cover+square+cover.png About - How We Got Here Many of the episodes you’ll listen to on this platform were recorded underneath a different banner. The first phase of this project was known as 21st Century Vitalism. The motivation is essentially the same, but the focus is shifted ever slightly. Episodes released prior to 2026 are more tailored toward conversations on how we can best maintain a sense of energy, inspiration, and wakefulness while navigating the chaos of the modern age. Many of these conversations are relevant to today’s explorations and are still deserving of your time and attention! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a7d6d6de98fd0f5adea3cc/f07cf60f-9ad5-4b69-9786-3d11dfc21422/DSCF2607.jpg About - Meet the Host My name is Brett Kane and I’ve been podcasting since 2020.
