What is it to learn in a way that allows us to be more truthful, compassionate and alive? A conversation about community with Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.
This week we talk about learning. Not the kind of learning that fills us with facts, but the kind of learning that allows us to open ourselves to more spacious interpretations of our lives, and which helps us to take new kinds of action and enter into relationships that are more truthful, compassionate and alive.
Along the way we talk about what it is to have a kind of 'critical reflection' about our own lives, about the gift that human beings can be to one another when we share our stories and when we can hold our stories 'lightly' enough to neither abandon them too quickly nor be rigid about them. And we consider how doing this together - in community wherever we can find it - is necessary for cultivating the courage, hopefulness and care that the world calls for.
Turning Towards Life is a weekly live 30 minute conversation hosted by Thirdspace in which Justin Wise and Lizzie Winn dive deep into big questions of human living.
