Islands of Coherence is a podcast for people who refuse to go numb.
The world is in freefall - politically, ecologically, spiritually - and most of us can feel it. But Nobel Prize-winning physicist Ilya Prigogine showed us something remarkable: when a system is in chaos, small pockets of coherence don’t just survive - they can shift the entire system toward a higher order.
This show is about building those pockets. Each episode draws from spiritual practice, somatic work, artmaking, ecology, and activism to explore a single question: how do we cultivate wholeness - in ourselves, in our communities - while everything around us fragments?

In the inaugural episode of 21st Century Vitalism, we sit down with fitness guru Mike Chang to talk about his daily flow practice and the flow tribe wellness group. The daily flow practice is a combination of exercises, stretches, energy work, and breathwork which harmonizes the body, mind, and spirit. We explore the philosophy underpinning it and the radical transformations in consciousness that accompany each of the movements. We talk about processing difficult emotions through qi gong, yoga, and meditation, and a whole lot more.
Welcome, to 21st Century Vitalism.
