342: That I Would Be Good

Apr 28 2024 33 mins  
How can we come to know the vast stores of goodness, care and benevolence that are in each of us simply by being human? What makes it possible for us to bring this goodness to bear on the many difficulties and realities that face every single human life? How can we do this without minimising or explaining away the dark sides of human life, and the genuine pain and confusion we can

341: Bless This Everyday Mess

Apr 21 2024 37 mins  
Right when we’re in the mess and complexity of things - for example when raising children, or being in a partnership, or working alongside others - is where we can learn so much about what it is to be human. And it’s where we also learn the most about our own power - to make a world that is better for others to live in, or worse. In this week’s conversation we explore how we

340: Your Task is to Undo the Barriers to Love

Apr 15 2024 34 mins  
In a time of global distress, we’re often faced with news of dire situations far from us that we can do little to affect directly. But we can learn to respond to the world that is more immediately around us with the kind of patience, wisdom, care and love that makes a genuine, tangible, and life-giving difference. In this week’s conversation we explore how we can observe and un

339: A Place for Others to Rest In

Apr 10 2024 28 mins  
How can we be the ones who create safety for other people to bring their troubles, longings, hopes, pain and fear our way? And how can stay long enough, and not turn away? And how do we then accompany one another as we address what we find - with love, truthfulness, patience and exquisite care?

338: What the Living Do

Mar 31 2024 33 mins  
On the ways comparison can steal the actual living of life from us, and on finding ways to appreciate and live in the midst of the ordinary everydayness of things. Hosted, as always, by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.

337: This Small Space

Mar 27 2024 30 mins  
On acknowledging experiences rather than moving away from them or interrupting them. How we might experience our feelings without ‘acting them out’ when they’re intense or overwhelming. And the gifts and blessings of being gentle with ourselves and one another.

336: Right-Sized

Mar 17 2024 29 mins  
How do we take up our right size in the world? Not in some fixed, rigid way but as a responsive way of engaging with what is called for from us in each situation and context? When we see that in some way ‘too big’ and ‘too small’ are both ways we try to control situations, maybe we can open to the emergence of something more fluid, more adaptive, and more sensitive in us. S

335: The Thread We Follow

Mar 10 2024 32 mins  
So much changes in the course of a day, a year, a life. We can be mysteries to ourselves and to others - confounding, confusing - as we turn this way and that, trying to find our way together through this changeable complex world. It’s very easy to feel lost and confused. But even in the midst of all of this, is there something we can learn to trust… a thread we can reach for t

334: How to Hold the Questions of Others

Mar 03 2024 24 mins  
How can we learn to love questions themselves as much as the answers we seek? And can we learn to be the ones who sincerely welcome the questions of others, so that they have room to breathe and grow? Because it may well be that often, in the midst of the complexity of life, it’s the very bringing of our sincere questions to one another in which the seeds of the responses we need

333: Nurturing the Goodness Within

Feb 26 2024 35 mins  
As we encounter life we encounter all manner of different parts within us - and among them we often find parts of us which seem determined to thwart us and hold us back. How might we relate to the critical parts, the over-protective parts, the obstructive parts, and the parts of us that simply terrified? And instead of being dominated by them, or trying to dominate them, how might
