TAKING A SIP – EPISODE #2 / RICK BALDWIN
Rick Baldwin is a former actor, stand-up comic and is a three-time winner of SPJ’s Golden Press Card Award of Excellence for Editorial Cartoons. He is currently the owner of The rek Gallery in Tucker, GA as well as a fine artist and illustrator with the Rick Baldwin Studio. He has been co-host of the Life In A Kilt Podcast and This Epic Disaster and currently host the solo podcast Apocaleptic. Rick says, “I’ve spent over half a century exploring the spiritual life. I was born and raised in Knoxville, Tennessee, and spent my youth in a fairly conservative, Southern Baptist, Christian environment. Most of my early spiritual interests involved the writings of the Christian mystics: the Desert Fathers, Thomas Merton, and Meister Eckhart. Other teachers who greatly influenced me were Anthony deMello, Eknath Easwaran, Thich Nhat Hanh, Matthew Fox, and Charles and Myrtle Fillmore. It wasn’t until I discovered a book by Joel S. Goldsmith that my real spiritual experience began. The next major step in my spiritual journey came in the early 2000s when I came across the work of Eckhart Tolle. It was through Eckhart’s teachings, and upon the foundation I had built in my Goldsmith study, that I finally had a major breakthrough in my practice of meditation. Eckhart and the works of Rupert Spira, gave me a very clear path into nondual understanding. While my own history and background was in Christianity, I no longer have much use for labels or organizations in spiritual experience. I am a full-time artist, and operate a gallery outside of Atlanta. My podcast Apocaleptic began in 2022 and episodes are released twice a week. I can frequently be seen at the local dog park with my wife watching our dogs experience life off of the couch.” Rick was the inspiration for Mike to do his “Kilted 50 For Charity” year of wearing a kilt everyday. Rick is one of the inspirations for this “Taking A Sip” video chat!
