Transcendental Gastronomy

In this conversation Tomas Marconi and Michael Murphy discuss deepening into the nuance and richness of experiencing food. This wide ranging conversation focuses on the broad aesthetics of preparing and eating food, food as metaphor and expression, food as meditation or a vehicle for experiencing the divine, listening to our bodies, and how paying attention and being grounded in simple pleasures can act as a balance to the stimulation of the digital age and a cure for the “modern malady of boredom.”

Marconi stresses the importance of bringing awareness and attention to things, “not so objective, not so easily described” and how attending to and “enjoying these experiences at the edge of what you can say,” can resonate in our experience of other people and throughout our lives.
