    #171 Those Who Carry Us (with Todd Marston, Francis Briers, and Jamie Hunt)
    Oct 2 2025
    “Even when we feel alone, there’s this ancestral truth that all of these people…have carried us here.”-Jamie HuntWhat does it mean to be carried—by ancestors, by friends, by music, by silence?This week, Andy gathers with three fellow travelers on the path of inquiry, growth, service and commitment: Jamie Hunt, Todd Marston, and Francis Briers. Together they’ve spent the past five years tending a peer-led men’s circle, a space where vulnerability and creativity meet, where fatherhood is both question and verb, and where the wisdom of ancestry intertwines with the urgencies of our present moment. It’s a brotherhood where 30 or more men from across continents join in dialogues around what it means to be a man, a brother, a father, a partner; what it means to become a man if you’re born into a different body; what our culture recognizes as masculine; and what it means to walk a path of service in this moment in our collective history. You’ll hear Todd’s original composition Those Who Carried Us Here, Jamie’s moving poem Exhale, and Francis’ prayerful reflection If I Am to Learn. Their words and music trace pathways through grief, kinship, service, and the sacred ordinariness of male friendship.Whether you identify as a man, love men, or are simply a human in search of community, this episode offers a glimpse of how brotherhood can become a living practice—one that nourishes, challenges, and carries us forward together."Exhale" by Jamie Hunt Overcome by gravity, raindrops on an oak branch relax their grasp and fall, unlike the tears I fear. Is that why I feel homesick while still at home, alternating between comfort and pain, hope and disappointment, in this almost frozen silence? I inhale charred white oak. The exhale comes like a December rain. Yesterday, I noticed a ring of moss-covered stones among the oaks. A pocket knife revealed them to be a tree stump felled centuries ago, yet kept green, kept alive by its great grandchildren. Life support along fungal lines for an elder, or perhaps an exchange, wisdom for nutrients. What about those steel blue eyes and his continuity of attention? What about joy over results long after I canceled a dinner reservation as he needed to fly to San Francisco for yet another surgery? Is he still with us? What about the child? A surgeon’s blade, a beloved belly, born still and now disintegrating, like a darkened ember in a brown bag removed from last night’s firelight. Yet this winter, before the nine months, the potential for a spirit grew within me as the leaves danced a movement meditation in the dwindling light. And now my exhale is her inhale, overcome by gravity. "If I Am to Learn" by Francis Briers If I am to learn, let me learn to answer my soul’s callings. Let me learn to listen to kindness and let it land when it is spoken. Let me learn to embrace love and eschew certainty. Let me learn to seek truth, but do so with an appreciation for the vast spaces beyond what is known. Let me learn to follow the twisting pathways of imagination. Let me learn to breathe deeply and savor each breath. Let me learn to make mischief with friends and play joyfully. Let me learn to meet others fiercely and tenderly. Let me learn to stand up for what I believe in, but not to fight fruitless battles. Let me learn to be a friend and ally to myself as well as to others. If I am to learn, let me learn to answer, listen, embrace, seek, follow, breathe, make, meet, stand and be.Show Notes: * #01 May the Creative Force Be With You (with Todd Marston)* #10 Coming Home to Ourselves (with Francis Briers)* #50 When Four Paths Converse (with Cyrus Shahrad, Lee Chambers, and Francis Briers)* #100 One Hundred Ways to Imagine (with Todd Marston)* https://toddmarston.bandcamp.com/* https://instagram.com/integermusic* https://francisbriers.com* The Hidden Life of Trees: What They Feel, How They Communicate—Discoveries From a Secret World by Peter Wohlleben* On Dialogue by David Bohm* A People’s History of the United States by Howard ZinnConnect with Andy:* LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewjcahill/* Instagram: https://instagram.com/wonderdomepodcast​What is your fiercest hope for humanity?

  • #170 The Flow of Power (with Dr. Annice Fisher & O.B. Amaechi)

    #170 The Flow of Power (with Dr. Annice Fisher & O.B. Amaechi)
    Sep 19 2025
    “I know that I was brought on this world to create a multi-sector, multi-generational, intersectional global movement for healing, freedom, and justice.”— Dr. Annice FisherWhat is power? Where does it come from? How does power flow through our lives, our communities, and our choices?This week, Dr. Annice Fisher, (leadership coach, founder of Developing Capacity Coaching and author of The Power Within Me) and O.B. Amaechi, (multimodal educator, fashion entrepreneur, and founder of Wake Up The Soul) return to the Wonder Dome to explore how power is misused, how it can be reclaimed, and how each of us can channel it toward healing and justice.Annice and O.B. draw from their work in leadership, education, and social innovation, sharing stories from classrooms, correctional facilities, and creative spaces where power is embraced not as a tool for domination or destruction, but connection. Through reflective meditations on influence as a flow of energy, the legacy we leave across generations, and the small choices we make that become catalysts for transformation, Annice and O.B. call on us to step into our individual power and wield it with collective care. "Sorrow Is Not My Name" by Ross Gay No matter the pull toward brink. No matter the florid, deep sleep awaits. There is a time for everything. Look, just this morning a vulture nodded his red, grizzled head at me, and I looked at him, admiring the sickle of his beak. Then the wind kicked up, and, after arranging that good suit of feathers he up and took off. Just like that. And to boot, there are, on this planet alone, something like two million naturally occurring sweet things, some with names so generous as to kick the steel from my knees: agave, persimmon, stick ball, the purple okra I bought for two bucks at the market. Think of that. The long night, the skeleton in the mirror, the man behind me on the bus taking notes, yeah, yeah. But look; my niece is running through a field calling my name. My neighbor sings like an angel and at the end of my block is a basketball court. I remember. My color's green. I'm spring.

  • #169 Soul Journeys (with Owen & Mícheál Moley Ó Súilleabháin)

    #169 Soul Journeys (with Owen & Mícheál Moley Ó Súilleabháin)
    Sep 4 2025

    “All of this art is a metaphor for yourself. You are the song. You are the poem. You are the painting.”

    -Mícheál Moley Ó Súilleabháin

    What are we for? This timeless question becomes the ground on which brothers Owen and Mícheál Moley Ó Súilleabháin walk in this conversation. As musicians, poets, and teachers, they inherit and carry forward a lineage of song and story that reveals how art is not separate from life but a mirror of it—a way of giving voice to the unspoken parts of ourselves.

    Along with their mother, Nóirín Ní Riain (also a previous guest of The Wonder Dome) they’re the leaders of Turas d’Anam, which provides both online and in person experiences offering unique and personal expressions of their rich musical and cultural heritage.

    This episode is a meditation on soul and purpose, on tradition and innovation, and on the way beauty sustains us in difficult times. Along the way, we travel from Irish monasteries and chants echoing across the globe, to the words of Seamus Heaney, Rumi, and James Joyce, to the everyday practice of committing poems and songs to memory, allowing them to take root in the body and shape the life of the spirit.

    "Turas d’Anam (Journey Of Your Soul)" by Mícheál Moley Ó Súilleabháin Often times the step backward lets the soul catch up. So that all our happy hindsight’s harmonise and wisdom builds. Share your luck. Be miserly only with misfortune. In each seismic shudder we learn to trust the ground again, humble again, knowingly broken, unrepentantly wounded, proud to bare pain. Laying claim to the joy factory of your body. No more tariffs, or sanctions. Wage cuts and glass ceilings. Conventions, expenses paid, nor lanyards or company position. Often times, this way you can live in ways others simply will not, develop sides of you others simply would not. So feel the rhythm beyond the beat. Begin with a break, and let your soul catch up.
