Episode Summary

In Episode #14 Jef Szi welcomes poet, memoirist, and writing coach Albert Flynn DeSilver to the podcast for an engaging conversation about the personal passages in his life as well as the passages that have come with being a writer.

We begin by exploring Albert’s latest book project on consciousness and addiction. On the heels of that we are given a few of Albert’s secret sauce ingredients for guiding writers in particular, but creatives in general. Albert’s then takes us into the moving contours of how the writing process awakens us to the unseen field of possibility and self-discovery, both in grace and in hardship. Not just in theory, but from the ache of his own adversities.

Trusting the Wild Mind then turns toward Albert’s own upbringing and intiations into, among other things, the problematic side of alcohol at sleep-away camp and at the neighborhood “Derelict Den." Along the way we come to see how the destructive elements of Albert’s coming-of-age was rooted in childhood pains but would eventually lead to crisis moments that brought Albert to a life more connected to nature, words and art, and the depths of his own nature.

In this heartful episode with Albert, we can hear an intimate portrait of change and healing and how chance and calling come together in on the long road of one life. Sharing a mosaic of passages, we eventually arrive with Albert as he finds Spirit Rock Meditation Center and where meetings with Jack Kornfield and Anjahn Jumnian brought Albert further along on his destiny to blend the art of writing with dedication to the practices of awakening to a deeper connection to his original nature.
