4.03: Outside Conversations with Arawana Hayashi - On listening to the wisdom of our bodies

Episode Description:

Tuesday and Tim are joined by Arawana Hayashi, founder of the Social Presencing Theater, where she talks about the wisdom in bringing forward our embodied intelligence to guide our relationships and systems change work, how The Outside (and you!) can highlight collective body intelligence in its work, and the practice of listening into one’s own - or social - body. Tuesday, Tim and Arawana discuss the suspension of judgement to embrace our sense of being, leading from an emerging future, what’s needed for the conversations, and practices, around issues of race and equity, the care that’s needed to see one another's unique humanness and an invitation to open the conversation of our ‘unknowing.’
