Own It SLC

In the spirit of curiosity, we look at the word "triggered" from all angles, and we learn a few things.  What is the experience of being hit by a memory, a person, a thought?   How powerful is a word? Other words we look at are "romance" "desire" "integrity" "inspiration" and. "accountable."  We also drop into Mr. Roger's neighborhood and have a visit from E.T.

It's not "individualization" it's "individuation" but anyway we talk about it.  How does addiction affect or potentially speed up this process?  What are other words for the Holy Ghost? Conscience? Intuition? What is the difference between fear and intuition. 
This whole conversation started because Phil was watching the Sopranos and Sarah is a nerd about Carl Jung.
Wait for it...Sarah sings a little song.

"Once you call a thing a thing it puts a thing on it" This is called talking something to death.

I can't think right now.

Is that enough?

Featuring unfinished song "Go Away" by Derek Russell Claiborne and Philip Denton Millerberg and the spoken word piece "Bondage of Self" by Lisa Blue.  Look for the finished song because Phil is going to take the unfolding events and put them into it.
On November 19th Derek passed away and so naturally we talk about death, how to make sense of it. Can you make sense of it?  Does it offer a release from the bondage of self?  Is it also a release of energy to be used?

Featuring a spoken word piece from Derek C. and a song by Menace.  We talk about the voice as an instrument.  After 3 venues for our live show fell through, we invited Own It artists to record in the fort.  We learned something new about listening, and what a clean space can do to a 3 dimensional voice.
Also, are Tarot readers actually illusionists who merely use slight of hand?
