How we box ourselves into an identity - a conversation about shame, self-criticism and freedom with Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.

One of the weirdest and yet most understandable features of being a human being is how we'll box ourselves in to an identity - a particular way of being in the world that allows this but doesn't allow that; a way that we lay out familiar territory for ourselves, fiercely bounded by shame and self-criticism, that easily stops us from bringing ourselves fully to life and from experiencing all that life is bringing us in each moment. 

This is our topic for this week, inspired by Anthony Wilson's poem 'When the Holy Spirit Danced With Me in My Kitchen'. 

Turning Towards Life is a weekly live 30 minute conversation hosted by Thirdspace in which Justin Wise and Lizzie Winn dive deep into big questions of human living. You can find the poem, a link to Anthony's Work, and more information on this conversation here https://wp.me/p4Tynu-dU and find more, including details about how to join us live, on our website http://turningtowards.life
