Welcome to the first episode of Neoteric Talks. A new show created with the intention to provoke critical thought and provide space for authentic human connection and conversation.
Join host, Hailey Taylor as she shares her own realizations of the importance of thinking critically and introspectively, and perhaps begin to question your own models of reality.
Questions to prompt yourself, your friends & family:
In what ways have I complied to something that was against my inner knowingness?
In what ways have I gone against my judgment or inner knowingness and given my power away?
Why have I complied? (Was it peer pressure, fear, fear of judgement, censorship, fear of rejection, lack of awareness, ignorance, lack of knowledge?)
Have I been actively informing myself or passively ignoring?
