Our discussions aim to cut through conditioning, in service to reclaiming wholeness and sensing our way out of the often fractured and numbing “daily grind.” Join us as we get curious together and reflect on how to navigate the mess with integrity, show up to the challenges with grace, learn from and become more generous with one another.

Distinguishing between healthy boundaries and harmful limitations, we begin to untangle the meaning and purpose of internally-cultivated discipline from the punishment and blind obedience that often go hand in hand with the externally imposed discipline many of us are so familiar with. 

Alex redefines practice as anything that helps us reconnect with our self, our body, and our intentions for being, opening a path of commitment that -- rather than relying on rigid containers and prescribed actions -- invites us to touch into the importance of tuning in daily with our why as part of aligning with an ever evolving internal conversation with Life. 

We hope this passionate reflection on how adaptive structures support the flourishing of life and embodied liberation on all fronts may inspire you to look at the beliefs you hold about what love truly is, and what is required for it to grow and root in our lives.

In this wide ranging conversation, we consider the personal, the relational and the systemic. Turning a critical eye towards the notion that selflessness and martyrdom are the hallmarks of care, we consider what it means to be truly generous — and how filling our own cup first is a foundation for moving out of transactional relating and into the flow of reciprocity. We contemplate the way that our trauma responses time travel us out of the present moment, dislocating us from our felt sense and our ability to respond to the situation at hand.

Many questions arose, including:

Might the transactional nature of capitalism undermine the very possibility of creating or existing within a healthy relational ecosystem? 

When and where is it appropriate and necessary to center ourselves and where is it our responsibility to be centered enough in ourselves that we can center others?

In the end, we regard centering within self as a way to take responsibility for how we show up in the world — cultivating our capacity to stay in present time, hold charge long enough to get curious about it, and harness the space between stimulus and reaction to reclaim our ability to choose how we respond.

Meander with us through a maze of meanings as we suss out the vocabulary of selfhood, exploring how our definitions inform both our internal and external relationships.

What does it mean to develop a "healthy" ego — one that works in service to the soul that inhabits the body? And is it the ego or our relationship with it that evolves as we move towards greater self-actualization? Peeling back the layers of our distinctions between ego, identity, psyche, and soul, this conversation dances us to the edge where the individual meets the whole — to the choice of whether to recognize ourselves as apart from or as a part of the whole of life itself.

We share stories of where, when, and how these relationships quickened and deepened, and how particular encounters kindled a recognition of the intelligence of the "other than human" beings with whom we share the planet. We contemplate interconnectedness and co-evolution, and marvel at the capacity for direct communication between humans and plants. We honor teachers, books, places, plants, and practices that have supported us to remember that we are never truly alone in a world that is viscerally alive and sentient.

Swapping stories and rich memories, we allow ourselves to wander through the many inquiries that present themselves. We touch into the depth of human history that sits in places and how the soul or spirit of a place might inform our sense of self.  Do the places we are attracted to or repelled by say something about who we are or who we are becoming? Are we truly in balanced reciprocity with the many beings we coexist with?

We walk into 2022 by bringing forward a conversation that began with a seemingly straightforward question Hallie brought forward around their last birthday — is age just a number? — and expanded into a wide ranging exploration about the ways we relate to time itself. 

From the many dimensions of how we understand age and aging, to unpacking learned systems of tracking time, we get curious about how our personal orientations not only inform our embodied experience of passing through time on Earth, but actually impact the ongoing health of our bodies and minds. A potent space was created to contemplate stages of growth and rites of passage from a variety of personal and cultural perspectives, including how individual, communal and cultural initiations support the grace of our human development. 

We hope you are as inspired by this expansive conversation as we were - may it be a support to us all in embracing new ways of relating with ourselves and each other as we move beyond the threshold of this new year.

Have your favorite scent on hand or dive in with your imagination.

 

Footnote: In a strange twist of fate, Ally got sick and lost her sense of smell days after guiding us through this exploration - we hope it will return quickly. For anyone else who has lost their sense of smell due to Covid-19 (or for any other reason), we hope that harnessing your imagination to engage with this exploration offers you an enlivening experience of reconnection.

Born out of a real life challenge Ally is in the midst of, today we discuss the lifelong impacts of the perfectionism we learned as children. We look at how both family dynamics and cultural conditioning taught us to “perform” in order to belong, and examine how the identities we adopt to please others keep us from truly being ourselves. We dig into how perfectionism undermines our sense of worth and our capacity for intimacy. 

Join us as we walk the messy web of our personal entanglement with this topic - differentiating perfectionism from perfection; contemplating how we might cultivate a healthier expression of our natural drive to evolve; and reflecting on  the reclamation of self that becomes possible when we begin to listen to our bodies, claim our wholeness, and believe in our inherent enoughness.

This conversation includes the voices of Hallie Dalsimer, Ally Rugge, Alex Crow and Ashley Berry. (Yay for Ashley joining us!!)

As we untangle some of the knots that attempt to bind sensuality exclusively to the realm of sex, we retrace the roots of the conditioning that teaches us to master our bodies - rather than inhabit and enjoy them - to expose the systems invested in keeping us disembodied and ashamed. What is restored when we tune back into the rich beauty and complexity of our lived, embodied experience? We invite you to join us in reveling in the awe of the profound human capacity to touch and be touched by life, ourselves, and one another.

Unpacking the tendencies we see within ourselves and the collective to orient towards comfort, we explore how avoiding discomfort can perpetuate harmful patterns, both in our personal relationships and in society. We touch on many topics, including the discomfort of the healing process, the difference between stretch and strain, and how something being uncomfortable doesn't make it "bad" or "wrong." We also share some tools that help us lean into discomfort in a generative way, increasing our tolerance for conflict and creating more space for growth, repair, and connection.

“If you’re committed to comfort, you cannot be committed to justice. Withstanding our discomfort requires understanding that our discomfort is a necessary and constant part of the work. Our goal is not to feel comfortable because we won’t, it is to better tolerate the discomfort that inherently arises.”
