We spoke of living cultures and living knowledge, the concept of retrieving forward and how what we are consist only of relationship. We also spoke about Imagine The Film and how it follows from a completely different pattern of creation - a sacred, co-created one. This conversation is a beautiful one. Enjoy!

  • 269. Adrian Wagner - Complexity, micro-empathic moments and the right level of granularity

    Adrian Wagner involved with both Complexity partners and the Pocket Project. We go deeply and concretely into the ins and outs of navigating complexity. We speak of the importance and power of micro-empathic moments. We also speak alot at the right level of granularity. How activism could be be reframed as finding a point where 'they' cannot hate 'us' anymore because we're involved with mutual local action. We speak about how precision is love and inquire into what would happen if we took god just a little more seriously than ourselves. This is a gem of a conversation. Enjoy!

  • 268. Solo Episode - sensation not survival, a crisis of intimacy and submission

    This time Amit Paul speaks into some insights that he has found during spring. He speak of retiring survival in order to be able to fully live. Amit speaks of the sensous and that the posture of attuning to the moment is a more constructive attitude. One that sparks agency and action. He explore the crisis of meaning and propose that it’s a crisis of intimacy and Amit Paul explore the distinction between surrender and submission. All of this is an invitation to a new posture towards transformative work one in which attention is your instrument, submission is your stance and the only thing that may look like a goal is becoming intimate with reality.
