The Tension of Emergence: Befriending the discomfort of slowing down to lead and thrive in uncertain times

Get more comfortable being 'lost' (A Practice) with Jennifer England

Jun 2, 2023

Jennifer offers a practice, inspired by her conversation with author and philosopher Báyò Akomóláfé. 

Ever assume that “something’s wrong” if you’re lost, confused or bewildered. Notice the impulse to run back towards certainty and solid ground? In a world that privileges straight lines and arrival points- no wonder we pathologize the experience of “feeling lost”. 

In this micro-episode, Jennifer guides you to discover the upside of your “lost” or “bewildered” experiences. She encourages you to befriend the discomfort of disorientation long enough to alchemize its teaching. Jennifer reminds us that this is a foundational capacity for emergence, spontaneity and connection.  

If you play with the practice and discover a new way of seeing or experiencing your ‘self’ we’d love to hear from you! Email Jennifer with any questions or observations- jennifer@sparkcoaching.ca
