Though a professor of religion at Naropa University, and the author of numerous books on spirituality (and a frequent dialogue partner for our guests), Netanel Miles-Yépez is also a well-known artist, philosopher, and spiritual teacher. On this episode, we have asked Netanel to discuss his life at the crossroads of art and spirituality, the archetype of the artist, the internal origins and ‘midwifing’ of a vision, art as spiritual nourishment, artistic ‘jealousy,’ the essential spirituality of art, the relationship between art and prophesy, the muse and 'revelatory contents,' the difference between talent and training in art and spirituality, art and a 24/7 spirituality, projections on the spiritual artist, the holy mystery of human experience, depth and quality in the artist and artisan, Hasidism and the investment of intentionality, the contemplative attitude, and art that lives.

You can view and/or purchase some of Netanel's artwork at his Etsy shop, and learn more about his work in general on his personal site.
