Breathing Angkor

Art of Dynamic Competence: Creating Success in Changing Times

In this episode, we’re talking with Fred Sigman. Fred is an acclaimed photographer who also worked with Will Roger on his Handbook for a Burning Age and contributed several essays to the book. Fred currently resides in Cambodia teaching remotely, hosting tours, and writing a book on Angkor Wat the largest temple structure in the world. I recorded a long interview with Fred that ranged from Asian religious history, core understandings about photography and the focus of his work, as well as other personal experiences. If you are interested in more information, we will provide links to the rather impressive range of his work from our website.

For this podcast, we narrowed down the discussion I had with Fred to emphasize our current exploration of what we call “integral” or “spiritual”, or the integration of multiple perspectives, especially our latent understandings of magic and mythic with our predominate mental structure of today. What Fred allows us to talk about is how the huge historical context of Angkor Wat might relate to the integral and spiritual in our everyday lives.
