Embracing Endings for New Beginnings

I posted this episode two years ago on this day.

I’m thinking it might have more relevance and be more helpful today to more folks around here.

Context is king and all that.

Maybe as more folks begin to bear witness to this old world imploding, to this civilisational story ending, perhaps we are becoming ready to figure out what work we are being called to do ‘in the ruins’ as Dougald Hine might say.

I would suggest that there is much wisdom to be found in listening to Dougald and he speaks with such honesty, care and humility

I highly recommend reading Dougald’s book - At Work in the Ruins

As I said when I read it in 2023..

“ At Work in the Ruins is a book of wisdom for these times. Times which often feel to me to be full of cleverness that no longer make much sense”

Dougald is co-founder of The Dark Mountain Project.

Co-host of The Great Humbling podcast.

Co-founder of a School called Home in Sweden

And Author of book ‘At Work in the Ruins’ - the focus of this conversation.

Dougald is opening up vital spaces for different types of questions, conversations and invitations to be considered and explored as we face into the unravelling mystery of these times - times of endings.‘

At Work in the Ruins’ is a gift for this moment for those who know intuitively in their heart and gut that many things from 'modernity' need to end.

Now is a time for humility and creative courage, for letting go of stories, ideas, behaviours and systems that no longer serve life and crossing a threshold into imagining what could be and becoming the change.
