In Our Nature

Expanding the Conversation to Meet These Extraordinarily Precarious Times

Siobhán Friel Season 1 Episode 65

You know how we say that peace and wellbeing are our true nature? Well, have you ever wondered why we are living in times of perilous uncertainty, unprecedented inequality, lack of trust, and political, social and ecological breakdown, not to mention sustained war and conflict?

Me too.

This episode explains some upcoming modifications to the podcast and in the way I work, and I'll be sharing the education, lessons and insights that impelled the changes, mostly inspired by the above question.

Join me to explore:
- The quest which began as an innocent desire to get more of my to-do list done
- How it morphed into a journey which would span the globe (kinda) and touch ecology, politics, history, anthropology, education, mythology, biology and more (and a fair bit of ornithology - birds are cool)
- An illumination of the astonishing role of thought, from creating systems of oppression and destruction down to our the puddle of worry we feel before a work meeting
- Why understanding the power of thought at a collective level is particularly useful and needed in these times.
- How things are changing in the way I work and share as a result of my lessons and insights
- And is Anxious Alice being made redundant?!

Mentioned:
I mentioned in the episode that I am coincidentally moving website and domain host providers and experiencing some downtime as result.
