Evolving Traditions Podcast

Join Tanaya Ti'en and Matt Dyktynski, as they take an intimate, honest look at how the wisdom we inherit meets the world we’re living in now.

However you’ve arrived—through chance, curiosity, or some kind of synchronicity—welcome.

Something is shifting. Something is evolving. And maybe… so are you.

Across this series, we explore traditions spanning yoga, Buddhism, Taoism, religion, philosophy, culture, film, theatre, music—and even comedy.

We’ll be joined by a wide and unexpected mix of voices—researchers, practitioners, teachers, creatives, skeptics, and everyday humans trying to make sense of modern life.

Nothing is off-limits. From cultural appropriation to appreciation, cancel culture to ethical practice—we lean into the nuanced, the uncomfortable, and the real.

Traditions matter. They ground us. Guide us. Remind us where we’ve come from. But if they don’t evolve, they risk becoming rigid, disconnected—even harmful.

At its heart, this evolving conversation is a small offering toward a larger shift—toward a humanity that is kinder, more curious, less certain, and more open.
