Here’s a recent podcast about my memoir on the Quest for a Meaningful Life.

It was conducted by the charming and very focused Steve James from the Guru Viking podcast (Steve looks like a Viking with his long, flaming red hair and beard). He broadcasts from a houseboat in the center of England.

I’ve noticed that interviewers from Britain, where I grew up, have a different line of questioning, from Americans. They’re more interested in my early life in Wales and the Pennine foothills and how I got from there to my life-long engagement with the ‘consciousness movement’ in America or the impulse to bring a holistic and ecological transformation to the contemporary world.

It was a pleasure to be interviewed by someone who read my book so closely. Here it is:

ADDRESSING THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL FORUM ON HOLISTIC WELLNESS NEAR BEIJING, CHINA, NOVEMBER 2018

It was a truly remarkable experience to address the opening morning of China’s first Holistic Wellness Forum which was attended by about 700 people in place that recreated the look of old Beijing complete with pagodas, lakes, elegant bridges, and even a Buddhist monastery. Here is the description of my talk

The Evolution of the Holistic Movement

Ralph White

The last 40 years have seen an explosion of interest in the West and worldwide in consciousness, personal growth, holistic practices, and green and sustainable values. This profoundly creative impulse of renewal, with its many positive consequences in wellness, psychology, meditation, ecology and the embrace of a globally interconnected future, has had an invigorating effect on a society that might well have continued on a course of decline and empty materialism. How has this consciousness revolution come about? Where do its roots lie? How did it find expression in the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s, and 2000s and where is it going today? New York Open Center co-founder, Ralph White, who has lived for decades at the heart of the holistic awakening, takes the audience on a journey into recent history, cultural transformation, the emergence of centers of new, holistic learning, and the long road from the cultural periphery to a worldview that carries important seeds for the human future.

He will also address how the holistic worldview first appeared, its evolution throughout the twentieth century in both America and Europe, and its role as an essential ingredient of modernity. We will consider some of its great personalities and practices, and its growingpermeation of mainstream culture on a worldwide basis.
