Ep2- Evan Meyer and The Wisdom of the Descent: From Personal Development to Personal Dismemberment

In episode 2 of the Conscious Grounding podcast, I interview the fierce and wise Evan Meyer.

Evan is a disruptor for visionaries, leaders, and creative souls. Writer of the Feral Wisdom newsletter, and slinger of some of the most bleeding edge, cut through the bullshit content I’ve seen on the realities of what people might call inner work.

What I saw in his work when he first popped up in my feed was a devastating death blow to the distortions of popular spiritual idealism, and a breath of desperately needed oxygen in the form of recognizing how real transformation and relationship to self comes from unravelling, an unglamorous, often brutal process of meeting yourself by dying to who you thought you were.

I recognized a lot of my own recent journey reflected in his writing and so naturally, had to have him on the Conscious Grounding Podcast to talk shop.Enemy of the zero-sum game, vanquisher of bullshit, and another leader who is championing a dearly held value of mine to create more than you consume, Evan offered insights that challenge "Ascension Culture" - the idea that we always have to elevate, transcend, and go upwards towards the light.

Drawing on the wisdom of nature, influences like psychologist Bill Plotkin, and his own personal journey to wholeness, he introduces the countercultural idea of "Personal Dismemberment": a type of surrender to falling apart that paradoxically makes you whole. Welcome to the wisdom of the Descent...

In his own words:Evan Meyer helps creatives, changemakers, and visionary leaders unlock their feral wisdom and build movements that change the world. He takes a soul-based approach to helping people access the depths of their own innate power and creativity through ancestral wisdom, ontological self-inquiry, and good ol' fashion hard work.
