What a sweet collage of explorations and insights with Rowan. We go back to first meeting in 2010. It's been years of sporadic yet well-timed connection. Lots of shared inspiration. This collage includes a bunch. Clarity of the inner lived in the outer. That's peace. Memories of train rides. Invitations to join what you are passionate about. Holdin…

Such a delight! Toke brings it all. The art. The heart. The personal. The professional. The joy. The discipline. The story. The learning. I loved our conversation. I loved the long pauses when I could see Toke thinking. I loved his joy, and mine, to be in such learning and clarity today. As we've done so much over 25 years. Enjoy listening. I am. A…

A little solo reflection on this one. Fun to do. I track a few thoughts that contribute to my peace path and the most simple of that that I encourage. - We live Life. Life lives us. - What has our attention likely has some medicine for our learning and evolution. - When we develop familiarity with what has our attention (as guide, + some associativ…

Yup -- so much good. Big self. Staying with. Centering. Unlearning. All of it connected to practicing peace. Great to learn with, dwell with, wonder with. I appreciate Sam's ability and orientation to practice in the small things and in the big things. And so often, to connect some of the things that live near by. SAMANTHA SLADE, Collective governa…

Lots of good, inviting, wonder, wander, and ponder in this episode. I'm theming this year's podcasts -- all in 2024 will have focus on "practicing for peace." It's broad topic, yes. It has heart calling in it for me. It has inspiration from a few of my most beloved mentors. It has potent invitation to the smallest of personal self care peace moves,…

I hope that the stories and insights inspire your own Practicing for Peace. Be it in the daily small things of the inner, or in the longer arc big things of the outer. Stay tuned. I'm excited fo…

A pleasure to be in conversation with Dave Fearon. Due to a tech glitch I missed adding some recorded appreciations about Dave. I felt encouraged by Dave's wise words and calming voice. He's a long time academic, who got some of his starts in the YMCA. Enjoy the listen. We touch upon the field of humanism needed for serious problems in the world. D…

Lots of fun with Katie Kinnemeyer. She has a brain and a heart that I appreciate. In this conversation, she shares some of the core of her unfolding work. We touch upon field working, field listening, emergence, sense-making, her work with women entrepreneurs, relationship with slowing down, with calling, and with her orientation to generosity and …

What a treat. Janice has been a personal friend. She's been a guide. She's been an inspiring figure. She's been smart and sharp. She's been playful and jesterful. I've known her in each of these ways. Our recent call for the podcast covered relation to water, getting quiet, learning to say no, guidance for the physical and emotional body, guiding a…

A delightful conversation with my friend LaTanya. We cover a range: her work at Shriver Poverty Law as a policy organization changing rules to change lives growing up in a Mennonite Pastor family faith and a calling to law at 15 years old aggressiveness needed in systemic injustice speaking up in difference being a good listener how we all lose in …

Amaha is brilliant. As a community organizer. As a colleague. As a justice worker. As a friend and brother. See his bio below. I love the way Amaha lives from love and spirit. I loved reconnecting with him about that in this recording. Enjoy the listen, 46 minutes: 1:00 Human to human distills to essence....quest to understand our humanity...the so…

With Myriam, I love her pace and commitment to slow down and to enjoy. It's living wonder out loud. It's listening to stories and what lives under the stories. Myriam reminds me of the kind of person, guide, and coach that I most want to be. Have a listen. Thx for shares and instincts to reach back to begin our own threads of this human to human wa…

This was such a treat to welcome Chris Corrigan to the podcast. He is as articulate as they come. He is someone that I love for is insatiable learning and mass ability and instinct to connect. He is someone that weaves generosity and kindness to that learning and to the baseline invitation of being curious together -- I've know this in him over the…

Yup, a real treat to connect in this format with my pal Lawrence Kampf (48 minutes, recorded 3/9/23). He's a brother. He's a colleague. He's a wise being. He's a kind soul. As Lawrence shares, he's a person that "can't not help people grow to higher expressions of themselves." I've felt that with him. In laughs and in tears. A few show notes are he…

I loved the conversation with Linnea (49 minutes, recorded 1/25/23). As friend. As colleague. As fellow learner. To revisit Circle (how we met), her work with Yoga, Breath, Gardening, Permaculture, and a bunch more. When I think Linnea I think holistic living. And groundedness. A few show notes are here -- a few headlines of topics and times when t…

Been thinking a bunch about this one. The subtle ways that too much of contemporary life is skewed to either / or, right / wrong, this / that. The binary is embedded in way too much, acting as a vicegrip on our brains and hearts. It's an age old issue, perhaps amplified by the digital revolution. I believe our times call for us to grow much more ab…

From some early morning reflection, stillness, and musing I found an updated guidance system. Eight principles or orientations. You could call them practices. From commitments to simplicity, to being in nature. From tending to physical body to fierce commitment to the inner work. From honesty with pain and challenge to the alchemical path that is j…

One of the skills I most rely on as a facilitator, and as the human being that I am, is being able to ask good questions. I've learned a few goto reliances that connect people to an ecosystem of curiosity -- like the web that connects morning dew in the photo I took recently. Some of the reliance is attitude that infuses simple questions with added…

I love the connection with Kate. She thinks so well on her feet. She connects insights. She knows stuff. She's not afraid to lean to the not knowing. I start with a simple question -- What has your attention these days? We follow that through writing, parenting, CoVid, humaning, and a few other topics. I love her reference to "returning to somethin…

I loved the recent conversation I had with friend Bob Stilger, that then inspired my blog post of the same name, From Normal to Now. It's not "getting back to normal" that feels helpful or honest in these CoVid times. It's more learning to be in the "now" and seriously revising our psyche's relationship with "normal." (Program Note -- I mistakenly …

For a while during this CoVid pandemic, I found myself oddly resisting, yet also turning toward, the idea of catastrophe. In the resistance, I guessed that there was something fruitful to give myself permission to explore. There is potency in going toward that which we fear or resist, right. Well, these 16 minutes are a version of that. It's six th…

Casey is one of my favorite people in the world. His energy and his honesty are very inviting. I met him through the United Church of Christ Next Generation Leadership Initiative, at which I've been faculty now for three years. Casey brings insight, wonder, compassion and so many other delicious slivers of aliveness in making space for people.…

I’m a group process person, that comes from an orientation of living systems, and that has particular interest in how the humanity of things plays out in a world in which everything is connected to everything. I’ve been afraid with CoVid. Yup. Worried. Yup. Trying to offer clarity to those near me. Yup. Here’s some of that clarity, a few headlines,…

This phrase is one of my favorites these days -- The thing behind the thing behind the thing. It suggests quest. It suggests layers. It suggests “ongoing” (I could very easily add ellipsis…). It’s narrative for what I feel we are so often up to in teams, groups, communities, and families. It’s also straight talk, plain and simple.…

I have learned over the years that one of the key aspects of psychological maturity is the ability to hold as valid, opposing thoughts, or simultaneous but different truths, at the same time. Let’s over simplify what plays out in millions of moments every day, and then learn from that.By humantohuman
