Zoom Siyyum: The Art of Losing Control, with Jules Evans, Beni Summers and Eli Witkin

I was contacted by two readers - Beni Summers and Eli Witkin - who said they'd been reading my book The Art of Losing Control over the summer, in the form of a Jewish ritual of close-reading called a chevruta. The end of a text is marked by a 'siyyum' which Beni tells me 'is essentially a party that celebrates all of the learning and a chance to share that knowledge with a gathering of friends and family.'. They asked me if I would like to join them for their siyyum, through Zoom. How could I refuse such an interesting invitation!

We had a great conversation, about ecstatic experiences - especially through psychedelics and contemplation - and how religious (and especially) Jewish ritual and wisdom can act as a container for them. Thanks for the zoom siyyum Beni and Eli! May you have many more.
