This is a practice episode. We take some of the concepts we have been exploring conceptually and philosophically and bring them into practice - into our bodies and lived-experience.

In this practice, we meditate on and sit with what it might mean to include a little more of our experience. To have the 'dexterity of heart and mind,' to be able to feel the contents of our experience intimately, whilst also being able to zoom out and create space around what it is that is emerging.

Holding an integrated lens and philosophy for practice, while practicing in very specific and nuanced ways is a skill of ‘dexterity’ I admire greatly. It’s one that I admire in Sahana Chattopadhyay, and one that we explore in detail in our conversation here. Exploring a radical shift in the way we view organisations, communities and the role of leaders within them. We explore what might happen if we saw organisations as communities, the soft skills of facilitating emergence, befriending uncertainty, generative dialogue and self-practices for resilience. Join us for a supportive and enlivening conversation.

Gilbert is an emerging elder, globally renowned placemaker and steward of the New Story I personally respect deeply. We’ve facilitated and shared the stage many times but rarely get a chance to dive into dialogue on the topics we care for so deeply.

In this rich conversation we explore the role of place in restoring connection, the exciting meeting of our original placemakers - our Indigenous elders - and community builders of today, "burning your own wood" and practical things we can do to re-weave our communities locally and Gilbert’s 6 pillars to the emerging new story. This one is most definitely for those of us feeling to play our humble role in stewarding a regenerative and life-affirming way forward.

Timely, potent and deeply personable, friend and fellow facilitator, Dr. Arne Rubinstein and I explore the core elements of an initiatory rites of passage process. Mapping it against our collective ‘container’ of change, also known as COVID-19, we explore the roles of ritual, storytelling, community honoring and reckoning with the death of something within and between us. 

Keeping our minds and hearts both in the practical and philosophical, we explore some of the practicalities of ritual-design and how to facilitate your own rituals for transition, as well as the invisible and liminal space of the unknown, apprenticing ourselves to what we are being beckoned to become.
