Scattered Tribe

Today, Jenn gets kinda/sorta vulnerable and talks about taking a break. Departing from our normal format, we explore what happens when you find yourself needing to reassess, and the fears of what others might see when we do so.

We'll be back in action–in some form or another–in October. Make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss our next episode.

Today, we’re going to experiment with the emotions we have been talking about these past few weeks, and consider what some of the more complex—and more longed for—emotions taste like, and how we can allow ourselves to sink in to same.

Our poem of the week is: Maritime by Sharon Wang

Today, we’re going to explore the most nuanced of our emotion polarities: surprise and anticipation. Often, we don’t think of these as emotions, but rather chosen orientations to how we want to approach the world. When we start to open ourselves up to the possibilities of both, we begin to see how holding both in balance, can and does change how we connect—to ourselves, and to others.

Our poem of the week is: How to Break a Curse by Danielle Boodoo-Fortune

In today’s episode, we dive into the gut, and explore what it means to trust, as well as to feel disgust for another. We look to make room and pay attention to how this dichotomy shows up for all of us—in big and small ways.

In today’s episode, we explore the emotions most of us consider core—joy and sadness. We’ll play how we experience both, as well as the tension between ecstasy and grief—that will visit us all, if we’re lucky enough.

In more detail, we play with how much harder it is to describe joy than sadness, as well as how important it is to allow both to enter our life.

In today’s episode, we’re going to begin diving into emotions, and as this week’s poem goes, “Curious about clocks, she asked a lot of questions regarding their guts. Was there an ocean inside them, for example?”

More specifically, we're going to dive into:

* What is

an emotion anyways?* How do

you begin to feel into your feelings?* How do

you distinguish between one feeling and the next?

In today’s episode, we explore what mental maps are, how we have formed them, and how we can use them (while also borrowing from other’s mental maps) to make sense of exploring the mysterious land of the soul.

In more detail, we're going to:

* What are

mental maps and how have we formed them?* How can

and do we use them?* How can

we borrow from others’ mental maps to make sense of our journey?

In today’s episode, we talk about how often there is this push/pull between intuition and intellect, and hone in specifically on what the hell the latter is, while also talking about how intuition often indicates that the former exists.

In more detail, we talk about:

* What is intellect / intelligence anyways?* How do we undervalue certain kinds of intelligence?* What would it look like for us to begin to integrate our intelligence?

In today’s episode, we discuss how we can craft our own definition of soul, especially given all we’ve learned about how others think and consider it over the past several weeks.

In more detail, we pondered the questions of:

* Do we have a soul?* If no, then what causes us to be alive, what is consciousness? How do we explain what it means to be alive?

If yes, then…

* what is a soul? it mean to have a soul? is a soul composed of? * where does a soul reside? is there a difference between soul vs body/mind/emotions/personality? * who has a soul? do all living creatures or just humans? who created/formed it? (the divine? chaotic untethered forces?)* when does a soul come to life? are we most aware that we have a soul (if in fact we have one?) when does a soul end? or does it?* why should we care whether or not we have a soul?* how do we live in a way that is conscious of our soul?
