Show Notes
Dory Bavarsky is a composer and music producer known for his music for television and film and his record label Full Color Sound Records. Recently, musician Devendra Banhart introduced Jaymee to Dory at a Buddhist gathering, and in the weeks that followed the two new friends entered into a mutual admiration society of each others work. On a recent trip to the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, Dory wrote an incredible song titled 'A Zen Master' which instantly became a favorite song of Jaymee's (you'll hear a live performance of the song to begin the episode). This conversation is truly a vibe, a thick atmosphere of playful contemplation about life and what's behind it all, emotionally, physically and spiritually.
LITA PODCAST: hosted, produced, and recorded by Jaymee Carpenter.
SOUND MIXED: Chris Faller
OPENING SONG: A Zen Master by Dory Bavarsky

More from Love Is The Author
As Jaymee's 50th birthday approaches, the Street Monk himself reflects in a solo episode on his incredible life journey: from homelessness and addiction to recovery, fatherhood, spiritual mentorship, and key life lessons learned: how to love, how to believe, how to see the things behind things behind things until we only see ourselves. Encounters along the way with The Deftones, MC Ren, Jaleel White, playing music and acting on That 70's Show, owning a rehab, and finding Tibetan Buddhism and unlocking a life path of service.
David Nichtern is a longtime Buddhist teacher, founder of Dharma Moon, author, musician and Emmy-winning composer whose life has unfolded at the peculiar intersection of meditation, creativity, culture, livelihood and the everyday predicament of being a person. David returns to the podcast for his fouth appearance, wandering through territory the LITA audience is most interested in: how to live the dharma when you’re not sitting on a cushion. Plus discussions on making a living without attachment, how to have sustainable relationships, and what happens when ancient wisdom is forced to survive contact with modern life.
Shamelle Gonzalez is a Tibetan Buddhist practitioner, translator, editor, retreatant, and the human being behind Jaymee’s favorite Instagram account, @PemaLotus, an extraordinary resource for authentic Tibetan Buddhist teachings. A conversation about what happens when the Dharma stops being something you’re interested in and becomes the architecture of your life.
Mystical/Cynical is a podcast formerly hosted by artist Daren Thomas Magee aka Real Fun, Wow! and Jaymee that boasts three seasons and 100 episodes. It's been a year and change since they ended the show, so Love Is The Author is hosting a two hour reunion show for end times sake.
KOANHEADS is a Buddhist-based conversation between former death row inmate and best selling author Damien Echols, certified mindfulness teacher Chris Carmena, and Jaymee focusing specifically on the Zen tradition, practices and homegrown realizations. Damien's new book The Alchemy Of The Broken Blade was released this week and is available wherever fine books are sold.
