Living Between Worlds #3.7 - Multiple messes AND "vibrantly listening"

Our 21st monthly session of "Living Between Worlds…with Grace, Dignity, and Power." (Who joins these conversations? Executives. Sustainability professionals. Investors. Activists. Entrepreneurs. Seekers. Up-and-comers. A poet or two. And you!)
This month: We talked about the multiple messes we find ourselves in; the dance between despair and hope in an utterly unpredictable world; the challenge of when to "vibrantly listen" across the gulfs that divide us, when to gird for battle; and when to ally with deep adversaries to defend against common foes.
Also this month: we did three rounds of World Cafe style breakouts, to enable richer conversations. (These are not included in the recording.) "This was the call I"ve been coming for," one participant said. So we'll do this breakout process next month too.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"OK, now what?" In the face of the multiple, cascading, intermingle "messes" that we find our selves in the middle of (and that are hurtling towards us), we started with these questions::
Where's your attention & mood? Where's your focus? How have these been changing?
And especially:
What conversations are you having-both with yourself and with others?
Why "Between Worlds"? Because that’s where we seem to be. Living between old worlds and new-as we move from the fossil age to renewables, from linear take-make-waste economies to circular, from the post-war geo-political-economic order to…something that we can't yet name. Between working inside and outside the structures and norms of modern life; between working to help institutions adapt, and working to re-invent or replace them. Between tinkering at the margins and committing to reinventing everything. Between fear and hope, resignation and ambition, despair and courage.
Please join us! And consider inviting one person you know who might appreciate and enrich the conversation. (Maybe even someone who shares our concerns, but is different than you or me.)
