4.14: Outside Conversations with Toke Moeller - On the practices that allow opposites to exist

Tuesday and Tim are joined by long-time friend, and mentor, Toke Moeller, co-founder of the Art of Hosting, The Flow Game, and The Practising for Peace dojo. Toke is one of the most grounded, pragmatic and visionary leaders we know. The conversation dives deep into the practices which can serve you both personally, professionally, and collectively, the need to slow down in the face of urgency, the understanding, practicing, and seeking of wisdom, the building of capacity to build more capacity for future generations, and how you can connect to the momentum from, what Toke calls, “Life Force.”

Persian Poet, Rumi  - “Three Fish” 

“If you’re only wanting what the material world can give you, you are an employee,

If you are just seeking your inner world, you are not living your truth,

but you will be forgiven for forgetting,

then what you really want is loves confusing joy.”
