Like Paul Harvey said, “and now, for the rest of the story.’ In times like these, the conversations that matter inspire a deeper connection to life with self, others, and the world around us. Part 2 of the 2021 features short clips from empathic and generative chats that are at times poignant and, at others, salient with tasty tidbits for transformation. There’s a precious present afterward, a reveal from nearly 50 years ago now.
Our first six months of conversations were delightful, insightful and full of Wisdom shared through stories of life; the trials and tribulations as well as the transformations and triumphs. I am so grateful to each of my guests and their willingness to share their stories and listen to mine. The psychological safety and intellectual humility necessary for deep conversations is demonstrated throughout them.
We start off with Dr. Pauline Crawford’s personal acknowledgement of the process of co-creation. Kosta Makreas expounds upon a moment of contact his wife experienced while he was participating in a CE-5 event. Dr. Melissa Hughes talks about the things we don’t know about ourselves that make us who we are and what’s fascinating about grounding and observing the mind’s meanderings.
Dr. Dennis Reina speaks to the development of trust building in organizations. Tom Paladino offers his early learning about seeking the advice of elders; those who’ve journeyed where we want to go and listing to their wisdom. Geoff Woliner considers the notion of what lights up our soul, the activities or interests that inspire us. Dr. Pat Boulogne speaks to the nature of patterns, especially noting and changing those that aren’t beneficial.
Doug Brietbart shares his dark night of the soul and the Consciousness that became accessible in the quiet. Lisa Ma gives insight into how people are gathering and supporting one another as we progress from the chaos. Mark O’Brien spills the beans on his inner child re-awakening and the difference it made in his life. Laura Staley invites the experiential wisdom forward, that thinking about ‘doing’ just isn’t the same.
Our next round of conversations will take some interesting twists and turns as we meander through the garden to find the delicious food for thought not often found, let alone shared.
