I highly recommend Kyle’s deep and inspiring radio interviews from Viroqua, Wisconsin. These interviews are available as podcasts on the internet. Kyle interviews community leaders who are interested in a variety of topics. Among a wealth of topics, many of Kyle’s interviews are about Threefolding. For example, Kyle has interviewed Seth Jordan twice regarding Threefolding. (See my December 12, 2023 post for some background on Seth.)
Here is a list of some of Kyle’s interviews related to Threefolding:
#33 -Social Threefolding - How to Balance Culture, Economics and Economics with Robert Karbelnikoff (September, 2022)
#39 - Healing the Economy with Christopher Houghton Budd (May, 2023)
#41 - Healing the Social Organism with Seth Jordan (May, 2023)
#49 - How to Resolve the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict with Seth Jordan (January 21, 2024)
I asked Kyle if he could speak to me about his interest in Threefolding.
EW: Hi Kyle! I really appreciate your Conscious Bro podcasts! How did you become interested in Threefolding?
KG: During Covid, I started researching what was going on in media. I became interested in a group called Media Addicts Anonymous and I was inspired to go on a media fast. Through this work, I met a local group of people who were concerned about our rights being taken away. When I told them that I was on a media fast, one of the members of the group told me about Paul Emberson’s book - From Ghondishapur to Silicon Valley. What Emberson expressed in this book totally aligned with my thoughts - a total fit to everything I’m about. This book made me aware that there were local people who were working with Rudolf Steiner’s societal ideas. I connected with people such as Robert Karp (aka Robert Karbelnikoff) doing earth healing and bio-dynamic farming and I also connected with the Christian Community (Movement for Religious Renewal). I started hearing the term ‘Threefolding’ and met Seth Jordan about a year and a half ago. Seth addressed a big question I have: What can we do on a societal level to address the many challenges we have? I thought that a great, great way for me to promote Threefolding ideas is to meet regularly with a local group that is interested in promoting/establishing Threefolding ideas.
EW: Does this group meet weekly?
KG: Yes, we have been meeting weekly for a year. Every other week, we study Steiner’s book and lectures on Threefolding and every other week we plan actions in the local community.
EW: What projects have you come up with so far?
KG: We are are developing a ‘culture bridging project’. We plan to meet with the chamber of commerce, the pastor of a church and to connect with other community members from various groups to see if we can create something we might call a ‘chamber of culture’ to encourage local people who might not otherwise meet each other to come together and get to know each other.
We also plan workshops on Threefolding, such as the upcoming one with Robert Karp, Seth Jordan and others on March 14-17, 2024 to which everyone is welcome.
EW: How did you come to have this radio show?
KG: This area, which I moved to about seven years ago, is pretty cool. Four years ago, I heard that the local radio had some slots open for contributors. I pitched the idea that I wanted to talk about consciousness and spirituality. The manager thought it was a good idea and I after a trial, he gave me a steady slot. I put the show on the internet so that people from further away can listen to it.
EW: I’m glad you do! I have been very inspired by your interviews! Thanks for your work!
