Origins: Holistic Learning & Regenerative Practice by Originateve

Ecstatic Risk-taking (S1E7)


Listen Later

Emergent Curriculum takes over our podcast and veers our hosts towards a jagged dialogue regarding the role of risk-taking as a quality and skill to develop as Mentors. Becoming a life-long learner requires risk-taking. The alternative, as Joseph Campbell would put it, is specialization—within such a scope a life-long trajectory is possible but at a loss for the holistic potential we all carry within. Robert Bly wanted nothing to do with any of this--he was more in line with the Mystics, like Hafiz and Rumi, whom he worked so hard towards bringing into our myopic vision field.


Some of the issues we tackle in this episode:

- Why advocate for risk taking?

- What kind of risk is beneficial?

- How do we equip our teenagers with psycho-educational jargon that entitles them to draw the lines of what kind of learner they are and therefore what kind of learning they will not engage?

- What does risk look like at 33?

- We are an insurance-based society. Life makes sense only when risk is wrangled. University degrees are great example of this.


- Why is it that we lose the risk taking we all had as toddlers learning how to walk?

- Where Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligence is largely misunderstood?

ORIGINS is an ORIGINATEVE podcast that addresses both the theory and practical applications of regenerative and holistic lifestyles.


Our hosts: Ron Green (aka Lucian Nathair) and Carl Emmons (aka Gluskabe) are the co-founders of the Originateve non-profit established in 2013--based out of Denver, CO, USA. The ORIGIN podcast follows the curricular framework of the ORIGINATEVE Certified Mentorship Program.
