THE SPACESHIP EARTH PODCAST Episode 56 - Dan Burgess - Becoming Crew - A Story about Stories

Hello 2022, hope this finds you well.
I’ve been composting 2021.
Episode 56 kicks off with something a bit different.
An audio experiment to start the year.
A story about stories.
Last year I was invited to do a TED X Talk about the climate and ecological crisis, I wasn’t really sure what to talk about to be honest.
I was struggling to think of what another white man, 50 years old could possibly add to all the noise in these extraordinary times.
I was also feeling fairly burned out by the last two years, had just returned from COP26 and was strangely disoriented and quite frazzled.
I decided to focus in on what I felt was the most valuable and useful learnings I have, that I could offer up in these unravelling and unknowing times. Even though I knew it might feel uncomfortable and challenging. I wanted to find a way to weave the vital threads of my inquiring over the last 15 years together with where my attention and work is deepening and orienting towards.
It was quite a task to create, but I felt it didn’t end up working quite so well in a short talk format.
Because it’s really a story about stories.
So I decided to evolve and expand it and record it as a podcast, but a bit more immersive.
It’s definitely right on my learning edge and I’m feeling a bit vulnerable putting this out.
But that often means it needs to leave the nest.
I really hope it speaks to you and if it does please consider sharing it with someone else. We’d be most grateful. And whatever it makes you think or feel - I'd love to hear any feedback.
There are so many amazing humans and more than humans who have influenced the creation of this episode.
You know who you are.
I’d recommend headphones or a decent speaker setup for this one. And being still.
Enjoy
A massive shout to Charlie Shread - Audio Jedi for making this sound awesome.
