The Labyrinth
An intentional space to navigate life's paradox in the same way that an arrow is shot from the bow where our aim is true but the destination is not known. You are invited into this community as an intrepid explorer of purpose, meaning, and service regarding the open terrain of spirituality, psychology, motherhood, relationships, The Arts, human potential, awareness, education, science and technology as a springboard to societal innovation and evolution. In a cross-collaboration with both Henry Crettela's Alchemical Dialogues podcast, and Joel Lesses' Unraveling Religion podcast, The Labyrinth seeks to further and promote conversations evolving our understanding of the vital topics of spirituality, the humanities, psychology, and The Arts, and we find deepening community in our mutual support. We have begun posting 'Selected, Best of Alchemical Dialogues' and 'Selected, Best of Unraveling Religion' episodes on Lisa Carley's 'The Labyrinth.'

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
