E91| Radical Communication | VC Network Reflects w/ Elder Les Spencer, O.G. Rose, Aspasia KG, High Root & Tom Lyons
This dialogue features members of the Voicecraft Network for a session to reflect and build on recent themes and threads explored at Voicecraft.
Why do people experience blocks in the process of connecting to themselves and others? How do we cultivate contexts and skills that support healthier modes of relating to difference? What does it mean to relate with, through and beyond tragedy?
Voicecraft Network dialogues create time for conversations that transcend the ordinary. This was recorded as a Culture Lab session with members of the Voicecraft Network in participation.
