E67 | The Masculine & Feminine Series (Approaching The Mystery) w/ Adriana Forte, Guy Sengstock, Tim Adalin
This conversation is the first in a public series that will feature many voices, though it’s preceded by years of effort made on the private facing side of this project to engage and understand these themes, and seeks to support that ongoing effort to engage broader participation in the coming to consciousness of respect for these energies, as embodied in ourselves and others.
Show Notes
Welcome to Voicecraft, a platform and context for transformative philosophy, cultivating culture, and the craft of voice.
This conversation welcomes Adriana Forte and Guy Sengstock for a dialogue in response to themes of masculinity and femininity, as they relate to each other in the context of profound interaction about what matters. The topic of the Feminine has been discussed in several sessions in different formats in the Voicecraft Network—conversations which Adriana has played a leading role in bringing to fruition as just a small part of her broader calling. As I see it, and these are my words shared in attempt to express the respect I have for her being in the world: part of Adriana’s calling seems to be to speak on behalf of aspects of the feminine which are typically misunderstood and under-appreciated in a variety of cultural settings. — So that contexts for participation that feature efforts toward interpersonal connection and understanding can be more conscious and enabling of a broader spectrum of energies, roles, and cognitive styles.
Joining Adriana and myself for this conversation is Guy Sengstock, founder of Circling, a global authentic relating practice, and a unique philosophical being who is a uniquely delightful presence to sense, think, and understand with.
