Essence was born during one of the Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns to serve the need for connection. Ben’s sensitive interviewing style gets to the essence of the story, inviting guests to go deeper and often share more intimate insights into their lives and work. Each season is roughly organized by theme, with guests representing key voices from that theme. Ben’s guests are artists, authors, spiritual practitioners, healers, thinkers, and creatives of many stripes.

Notable guests have included: Mat Auryn, Damh the Bard, Lee Harrington, Mhara Starling, Amy Blackthorn, Jhenah Telyndru, Laura Tempest Zakroff, and others. See the various past seasons in the drop down menu above.

Essence with Ben Stimpson is available on Youtube and various Spotify-powered podcast hosts.
