Then Alena explores an embodied approach to rest and work through body listening, in the third session he talks with an EFC student Thea who after leading them both through centring explores a health issue, and what it means to take space.The fourth session Piervanni brainstorms ideas to develop a practice using the four elements model. https://embodiedfacilitator.com

A deep and meaningful one.

A flowing, deep fun conversation.
Stage development consultant Christopher joins me to discuss Clare Grave's Spiral Dynamics. We talk integral consciousness, life conditions, drug use, human emergence, "autistic" learning style, agriculture and the environment, misunderstandings of developmental theory, "centre of gravity" and "cosmic address", emotional states, and getting out of the postmodern "green" swamp. A very clever one that was mostly over my head! Sorry for the bad sound at times.
