Grasping Joy: Recent Episodes
Kelvin Jon Bull
Life is full of doubt and certainty, faith and questioning, love, and hate. What better way to grasp joy to help us through it. Join me (Kelvin) on a journey of exploring what joy looks like in different areas and aspects of life. Together, through blethering and listening to a diverse bunch of legends we'll - hopefully - find out what it truly means to grasp joy.
Woah, how did we get to the last interview?! Madness. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this one as it's a good one. Ben and I discover what it means to have joy in a part of life seeking something that is yet to be.

Hey, my dudes!
Today we have a conversation with William Gibson of 'The Space Between' on a heavier topic but still all the more applicable to our lives. I definitely recommend that if you listen that you are able to at least note down specific times you'd like to go back and listen to during the episode and/or use a notepad and thinking cap! I just don't want you to think back and realise you learned something but don't know where it was - trust me, I've been there.
Check William out on Instagram - @williamgibsongla and @thespacebetweenuk
The stuff he mentioned to check out - Kings Collidescope - Zeal, John Gurera - Citizens, William Matthews - Cosmos, Guided meditation (He uses 'The Liturgists), and Apathetic prayer.
Take it easy everyone,
