"THE WORLD WE ARE", WITH DONATA SCHOELLER. THE LIVING PROCESS WITH GREG MADISON

EPISODE 20 - "THE WORLD WE ARE", WITH DONATA SCHOELLER, PHD. THE LIVING PROCESS WITH GREG MADISON, PHD. 

I’m happy to announce The Living Process, Episode 20 with Donata Schoeller. This is the 4th, theme-based, conversation with Donata.

This time we are picking up where we left our last conversation and talking about whether a person has an ‘inside’. Topics we cover include “what words do”, what is visible and invisible and how even the invisible can still be perceived. We touch on the interaction of symbols and body, the different spaces we live in, Gene’s Process Model, the meaning of gestures, how this all works in the act of felt sensing. Later in the conversation we discuss how felt sensing is a dance and a primary process of making meaning.

The general question we are exploring is whether people are separate? Donata expresses this in the beautiful statement:  “we are immersed in a common world net”. Near the end, Donata asks, “What makes this practice so beautiful?”  Where does the sincerity and integrity come from? We conclude the episode by agreeing on our topic for the next conversation.
