Bridging Personal & Systemic Transformation

Welcome! I'm excited to share these first two episodes with everyone. It took me a few days to get this newsletter out amidst all the other promotion I was doing. The good thing about that is that I've heard so many sweet words from the folks who have listened so far. I hope you find as much meaning in listening to these episodes as I did in recording them.

If you haven't yet, make sure to subscribe in your podcast app of choice.

And if you've enjoyed the episodes, I'd be honored if you'd be among the first folks to write a review.

How can we be the world we want to see?
​with Mazin Jamal

“If we're not *being* the world we want to see while working to create the world we want to see, we're going to create the wrong world.”

Mazin Jamal

Artist, Speaker, Coach & Spiritual Innovator

Key moments in episode 2:

  • Bringing Levity: Use humor and lightness when dealing with weighty topics to help keep things in perspective. This allows the group to stay regulated and think clearly. (00:10:09)
  • Orienting Toward Love and Liberation: Come from a place of care and freedom rather than just fixing problems. This creates a generosity of spirit that is more sustainable.
  • Keeping Groups Regulated: Help everyone stay grounded and resourced rather than reactive. This allows for cooperation and completion of the necessary conversations. (00:15:08)
  • Grounding in Shared Vision and Values: Keep bringing it back to the “eyes on the prize” and the shared care. This connects to the deeper reasons people are engaged.
  • Living the Change We Wish to See: Model the kind of community we want to build in how we organize and work together. (00:21:25)
  • Making Space for Imperfection and Redemption: Have compassion for our own and others’ humanity. This reduces defensive othering when we all accept we are on a journey. (00:26:25)
  • Developing ancestral spiritual cleansing practices: Use techniques grounded in one's ancestry to energetically care for oneself when dealing with heavy topics over time. (00:37:14)

Bridging Personal & Systemic Transformation After a two month break, we're back! This conversation with Meg (Margaret) Wheatley is one of the most powerful I've had. In preparing for our interview, I had to really wrestle with her core premise - that we are already in the middle of definite societal collapse. A part of me already believes this to be true and was relieved to hear it. Another part of me feels hesitant about saying anything definite about the future and wants to make space for...
