Tub Talks by Secular Sabbath
Tub Talks is the podcast born out of the global community Secular Sabbath, directly sourced from the founder Genevieve Medow-Jenkins’ childhood at Esalen Institute, where she soaked in the hot springs with different characters from all walks of life and talked as the waves crashed against the rocks below. At first, Tub Talks existed exclusively at our event experiences, but now, Genevieve sits down in her tiny clawfoot outdoor bath with artists, collaborators, thinkers, friends, and family to talk about creativity, personal practices, philosophies on life, and why it’s worth living today. Every guest brings their own idiosyncratic awareness to their industries, navigating the fast-changing landscape of our cultures, and personal practices to maintain wellness. Through these conversations, we have come to know that there is something to learn from everyone, and we are able to access that even more deeply when we strip down together, and relax in the bath.
Follow along for new episodes + new guests airing every other Tuesday.
If you’d like to experience these environments we foster together, consider becoming a member of Secular Sabbath! Joining the inner circle is joining our family and committing to a Secular Sabbath practice. Secular Sabbath is traditionally celebrating a day of rest, albeit without a religious affiliation. Joining our family is making a promise to yourself to commit to growth and self-care with a group of people from all walks of life who are interested in finding that for themselves as well. This also gives you access to attend our events in person and online as well as opportunities to connect online and in conversation with teachers, students, artists, and collaborators. Membership unlocks musical artifacts, secret artist-curated playlists, and event experiences for you to experience from the comfort of your own home.
To join Secular Sabbath membership, you can find us at secular-sabbath.com/membership. Joining grants you access to our Inner Circle community of sensory-exploring like-minded people, where you can gather with us locally in LA for monthly meet-up experiences, and pop-up events around the globe, and partake in our exclusive ambient online community.
