“We are vitality, we just got really confused.” – Nora Bateson

It has never been more important to be part of authentic conversations. To make sense of what to care about, together. Voicecraft is extending invitations to participate in meaningful group dialogues with artful practitioners of philosophical transformation.

About this episode

From this episode:

“The compost knows more about how to be in a world of vitalising relationships than I do. Because I have been encultured into a lot of processes that have blinded me. And that have been served by exploitation that was beyond where I could see conveniently. And so I have this idea of essentialness that is connected to brokenness.”

The question becomes, how can we make relationships that build life?

This conversation is a journey toward asking that question.

About Nora Bateson

Nora Bateson is an award-winning filmmaker, writer and educator, as well as President of the International Bateson Institute, based in Sweden. Her work asks the question, “How we can improve our perception of the complexity we live within, so we may improve our interaction with the world?” An international lecturer, researcher and writer, Nora wrote, directed and produced the award-winning documentary, An Ecology of Mind, a portrait of her father, Gregory Bateson. Her work brings the fields of biology, cognition, art, anthropology, psychology, and information technology together into a study of the patterns in ecology of living systems. Her book, Small Arcs of Larger Circles, is a revolutionary personal approach to the study of systems and complexity.

Connection links

Join the Voicecraft Collective Facebook Group to participate in Voicecrafting conversations here.

Voicecrafting is a kind of embodied philosophical conversation.
It can occur when two or more people allow the practice of deep listening, natural curiosity, and authentic expression to realise a cooperative exploration of understanding, often experienced as flow.
Our means of convening will evolve over the coming weeks. Add Tim on Facebook and reach out if you’re unclear.

The Stoa also seeks to engage people in a series of online groups for exploration and sensemaking.

Nora Bateson‘s warm data labs also invite participation in a related vein.
