The Fire Circle by Cultivating ConnectionsAuthor: Rory and Ryan Van Tuinen
The Cultivating Connections Podcast is hosted by two brothers who believe many of our struggles begin with our inability or unwillingness to truly connect. Disconnection led us into addiction, hopelessness, and mental health challenges. Through our own healing, we discovered that cultivating connection is essential for well-being. This podcast is one way we put that into practice. We explore mental health, addiction, psychedelic experiences, altered states of consciousness, personal growth, and honest conversations about what it means to be human.

4. The Courage To Be Disliked
Saturday, 1 August, 2026
This week, with no guest in the studio, we turned the microphones on ourselves. We explore The Courage to Be Disliked through the lens of Rory’s complicated past—resentment, betrayal, and the people who doubted him when he was at his lowest. It’s an honest conversation about the paradox of building a podcast around connection while carrying unresolved wounds from the very people we’d one day hope to sit across from.
