Jeremy Johnson

Thomas Steininger in conversation with Jeremy Johnson

As I write these lines, the polling stations in the USA are open. The outcome is uncertain. And it is especially uncertain what will happen if the election is contested. Will there will be riots? Will President Trump encourage heavily armed militias to take to the streets?

This will be a historic choice, not only for America but for the whole world. Will the Americans find a way out of Trumpism? How can the hostile camps find a common democratic foundation again? And what is an integral response to this deadlocked situation?

Jeremy Johnson is the founder Nura Learning, an online platform for transformational education and the president of the International Jean Gebser Society. Living in Saint Petersburg, Florida, he is an integral thinker who has closely observed the political turmoil of the last years in the USA.

In Radio evolve this week, Thomas Steininger talks with Jeremy Johnson about the elections in the USA. Afterwards, at 9 pm, they will dialogue with listeners about how an integral perspective can find answers to the extraordinary situation facing American and the world no matter who wins.

Diane Musho Hamilton

Thomas Steininger in conversation with Diane Musho Hamilton

Conversation, that most basic human act, has become increasing difficult in our polarized times. In fact, it’s not even clear how to have a good, decent, deep conversation with others any longer. There are so many minefields around “political correctness” and “identity politics.” How can we listen to different perspectives, let go of our own viewpoints, and at the same time maintain a clear understanding of our desires and goals within every conversation?

Let’s ask Zen meditation teacher Diane Musho Hamilton. Diane, known for her Integrally informed facilitation skills, just wrote the book Compassionate Conversations, together with leadership coach Gabriel Menegale Wilson and the peace activist Kimberly Myosai Loh. They explore how to have effective communication among very different and diverse people. How can we “be for each other” and have truly real and compassionate conversations?

In this week’s Radio evolve, Thomas Steininger talks with Diane Hamilton about how to speak and listen from the heart.

Aftab Omer

Aftab Omer interviews Thomas Steininger

This week with exchanged roles: Aftab Omer, Dekan of the Meridian University in California, interviews Thomas Steininger for the Meridians Integral Voices program. Aftab is interested in Thomas’ 25 years of experience with new forms of dialogue.

“Might it be possible to respond to the multi-dimensional crises of our time with a different kind of speaking and listening? Can we protect and preserve the great storehouse of ideas, stories, and practices embedded in human cultures? These are some of the questions that Aftab asked. Thomas spoke to the alchemical power of care to create new potentials through dialogue that go beyond the words that are shared.”

In dieser Folge von Radio evolve führen wir ein Gespräch mit Thomas Steininger über die Kraft des Dialogs die Demokratie zu vertiefen und Kultur und uns selbst zu transformieren.

For many of us, the care and concern that we feel about the state of the world comes at a price. It’s hard not to feel outrage or helplessness in response to the fires-both actual fires and the emotional heat of polarization. Even our best impulses can turn against us. As Roshi Joan Halifax notes, empathy can turn into distress, integrity into moral suffering, and engagement can result in overwork and burnout. How do we find wholesome and transformative ways to respond to this overwhelm?

Roshi Joan Halifax is a Zen priest, an anthropologist, and a pioneer in the field of end-of-life care. She is Abbot of Upaya Zen Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico. In her new book, Standing at the Edge: Finding Freedom Where Fear and Courage Meet, she discusses the “edge” between appropriate and necessary care of others and “falling off or over the edge” into apathy or distress.

This week in Radio evolve, Thomas Steininger talks with Joan Halifax about an authentic and full-hearted response to our world – where fear and courage meet.

Conflict resolution may be one of the most pressing challenges that we face. How do we bridge deep divides? How do we bring together competing interests? Scilla Elworthy has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize three times for developing effective dialogue between nuclear weapons policy-makers worldwide and their critics, when she was working with the Oxford Research Group, founded in 1982.  She also started Peace Direct, an organization to fund, promote, and learn from local peace-builders in conflict areas. What can she tell us about what is needed to transform conflict?

Elworthy points to one, perhaps surprising, element that has the capacity to transform conflict. She calls it the mighty heart. What she means is very practical and down to earth. In her new book and  online course, she describes what she has learned in decades of deep engagement with some of the most intense conflicts on our shared planet.

In this week’s Radio evolve, Thomas Steininger speaks with Scilla Elworthy about ‘courageous conversations,’ anger as a fuel for transformation, and the role of inner Presence in the face of raging conflict.
