Spaces Between with Al Jeffery

Al Jefferywww.aljeffery.com
Sitting around the philosophical fire, join Al as he explores integral perspectives and regenerative practices for restoring community in the 21st Century. What does it mean to 'queer the mind,' and live in congruence with the wholeness of who we are, to integrate our parts? In a deeply-connected-yet-fragmented world, Al invites ambitious thinking, deepens ways of feeling, and welcomes broadened epistemologies that may extend our cultural imagination to a more totalising and inclusive horizon. Through elucidating the mutli-dimensionality of the human condition through psychological know-how, philosophical insight, and artistic poetics, Al and the guests he invites attempt to weave a larger story in which to find ourselves and our way, together. How does our view on leadership and relating shift through an embodied developmental lens? How might we contribute to a life-regenerating future from the inside-out? Spaces Between is an open-inquiry into restoring connection in our lives, relations, and communities. Modelling generative dialogue, vulnerability, and courageous conversation, Al weaves not only a heard but felt journey back to connection with self and world 🌏

#7: Practice Episode — Including the Mystery, Mess, Grace & Grit

This is a practice episode. We take some of the concepts we have been exploring conceptually and philosophically and bring them into practice - into our bodies and lived-experience. In this practice, we meditate on and sit with what it might mean to include a little more of our experience. To have the 'dexterity of heart and mind,' to be able to feel the contents of our experience intimately, whilst also being able to zoom out and create space around what it is that is emerging. -- Show-notes an...

#6: Sahana Chattopadhyay — Facilitating Emergence & Generative Communities

Holding an integrated lens and philosophy for practice, while practicing in very specific and nuanced ways is a skill of ‘dexterity’ I admire greatly. It’s one that I admire in Sahana Chattopadhyay, and one that we explore in detail in our conversation here. Exploring a radical shift in the way we view organisations, communities and the role of leaders within them. We explore what might happen if we saw organisations as communities, the soft skills of facilitating emergence, befriending uncertai...

#5: Gilbert Rochecouste — Placemaking, Localism and Weaving Community in the New Story

Gilbert is an emerging elder, globally renowned placemaker and steward of the New Story I personally respect deeply. We’ve facilitated and shared the stage many times but rarely get a chance to dive into dialogue on the topics we care for so deeply. In this rich conversation we explore the role of place in restoring connection, the exciting meeting of our original placemakers - our Indigenous elders - and community builders of today, "burning your own wood" and practical things we can do to re-w...

Timely, potent and deeply personable, friend and fellow facilitator, Dr. Arne Rubinstein and I explore the core elements of an initiatory rites of passage process. Mapping it against our collective ‘container’ of change, also known as COVID-19, we explore the roles of ritual, storytelling, community honoring and reckoning with the death of something within and between us. Keeping our minds and hearts both in the practical and philosophical, we explore some of the practicalities of ritual-design ...
