The End of Seeking Podcast

<p>This week’s episode is a spontaneous conversation recorded on the fly after we realised something meaningful was unfolding. Using our little mobile mics, we dive deep into what feels like the heart of our times: the alienation from our true nature and the longing to return to it.</p><p>We explore the question at the root of both personal and civilizational crisis: <em>what happens when we forget the ground of our being?</em> From meditation and self-inquiry to the pitfalls of belief and the hunger for direct experience, we trace how disconnection gives rise to confusion, and how remembrance restores clarity.</p><p>Along the way, we touch on Paul Kingsnorth, Simone Weil, Jordan Peterson, postmodernism, the collapse (or renewal) of civilization, and the deeper rhythm beneath it all — destruction and rebirth, ignorance and awakening.</p><p>It’s an unpolished, wide-ranging dialogue about truth, consciousness, and the mystery of what’s really going on in our world… and in us.</p><p><em>Listen in, reflect, and perhaps remember what’s already whole.</em></p><p><em>Enjoy.</em></p><p>Recorded: 30th October 2025</p><p>Imogen’s website - <a target="_blank" href="https://beyondimogen.com/">beyondimogen.com</a></p><p>Martyn’s website - <a target="_blank" href="https://martynwebber.com/">martynwebber.com</a></p><p><p>This Substack is reader-supported.

<p>After some months away, we return to the microphones to talk about where life has taken us – from words to clay, from satsang to sculpture, from the inner world of reflection to the embodied world of creation. We explore how art and spirituality are not separate paths but expressions of the same movement of being.</p><p>We speak about what it means to live our dharma – to follow the pull of what is most natural, true, and alive – and how meaning reveals itself not as an abstract idea, but as a felt sense of alignment with life’s own flow. This conversation moves through the creative process, surrender, fear, conditioning, and the paradox of the personal and impersonal in awakened life.</p><p>It’s an intimate and honest reflection on returning to what calls us most deeply, and how that call continues to shape the way we live, create, and serve.</p><p>Enjoy. </p><p>Recorded: 16th October 2025</p><p>Imogen’s website - <a target="_blank" href="https://beyondimogen.com/">beyondimogen.com</a></p><p>Martyn’s website - <a target="_blank" href="https://martynwebber.com/">martynwebber.com</a></p><p><p>This Substack is reader-supported.

<p>In our first episode of 2025, we return to the <em>End of Seeking Podcast</em> to share reflections on our evolving spiritual journeys. We explore the power of surrender and the recognition that <em>everything</em> in life — both ease and challenge — is an expression of the divine, guiding us toward deeper wisdom. Through themes of inclusion, resistance, and the transformative nature of suffering, we examine how awakening moves beyond neutrality into a full-hearted embrace of life’s richness.</p><p>Martyn shares insights from his contemplative practice and exploration of Christian mysticism, while Imogen offers perspectives from her experiential work with seekers. Together, we dive into the sacrament of the present moment, the nature of spiritual embodiment, and the beautiful paradox of losing ourselves to truly find ourselves.</p><p>Alongside these deep dives, we also share exciting updates about new in-person and online events, including a seven-day retreat in St. David’s. Join us for an inspiring, wide-ranging conversation on love, joy, and the fullness of being.</p><p>Enjoy!</p><p>Recorded: 5th March 2025</p><p>Imogen’s website - <a target="_blank" href="https://beyondimogen.com/">beyondimogen.com</a></p><p>Martyn’s website - <a target="_blank" href="https://martynwebber.com/">martynwebber.com</a></p><p><p>The End of Seeking Podcast is a reader-supported publication.

<p>In this thought-provoking episode, we explore the profound concept of surrender on the spiritual path.

We share personal experiences of creativity and action from a place of awakened consciousness, offering listeners a glimpse into the lived reality of spiritual awakening.</p><p>Throughout the episode, we provide practical ways to observe our direct experience and challenge false assumptions about the self. Whether you're new to spirituality or a seasoned practitioner, we offer valuable insights into the nature of consciousness and the transformative power of surrender.</p><p>Join us for an enlightening discussion that may just shift your perspective on what it means to truly let go and allow life to flow through you.</p><p>Enjoy.</p><p>Imogen’s website - <a target="_blank" href="https://beyondimogen.com/">beyondimogen.com</a></p><p>Martyn’s website - <a target="_blank" href="https://martynwebber.com/">martynwebber.com</a></p><p><p>Thanks for reading The End of Seeking Podcast!
