Human to Human

Cory Thorell, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA "Peace, A Choice of Practice + What's Now" (November 2024, 53 minutes)

Cory is a pal. A fellow mischief-maker. A fellow creator. He's got so many streams of learning that he brings to the conversation. Cory and I revisit the theme, Practicing Peace (we had previous podcast conversation in February). And, we leak a little of what we are creating  in the future. Some new offerings that are teasing us forward together.

Rowan Francis Simonsen, Skanderborg, Denmark "Connect to Stillness Within" (June 2024, 51 minutes)

What a sweet collage of explorations and insights with Rowan. We go back to first meeting in 2010. It's been years of sporadic yet well-timed connection. Lots of shared inspiration.

This collage includes a bunch. Clarity of the inner lived in the outer. That's peace. Memories of train rides. Invitations to join what you are passionate about. Holding darkness and light. Being available courageously. Leading in. Showing up to uncertainty. Hunger for essentials. Accompanying. Grandparents. A little poetry, "Life Is."

And then some closing encouragements to attend to what is in our cups.

As Rowan named, yup, it is a celebration to be in such ongoing good company and inquiry.

Toke Moeller, Sejs, Denmark "The Art & The Heart -- Practicing Peace" (May 2024, 58 minutes)

Such a delight! Toke brings it all. The art. The heart. The personal. The professional. The joy. The discipline. The story. The learning. I loved our conversation. I loved the long pauses when I could see Toke thinking. I loved his joy, and mine, to be in such learning and clarity today. As we've done so much over 25 years.

Enjoy listening. I am. And will several times.

Tenneson Woolf, South Jordan, Utah, USA "Attentive Peace" (April 2024, 28 minutes)

A little solo reflection on this one. Fun to do. I track a few thoughts that contribute to my peace path and the most simple of that that I encourage.

- We live Life. Life lives us.
- What has our attention likely has some medicine for our learning and evolution.
- When we develop familiarity with what has our attention (as guide, + some associative ability), we get more of the medicine.
- A few questions that bring us into the simplicity of peace through simple attention.

Enjoy the listen. Thx for hearing the excitement and the guidance.

 

Samantha Slade, Montreal, Quebec, Canada "Peace & Big Self" (March 2024, 55 minutes)

Yup -- so much good. Big self. Staying with. Centering. Unlearning. All of it connected to practicing peace. Great to learn with, dwell with, wonder with. I appreciate Sam's ability and orientation to practice in the small things and in the big things. And so often, to connect some of the things that live near by.

Cory Thorell, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA "Choose Peace, Love Gigantically" (February 2024, 58 minutes)

Lots of good, inviting, wonder, wander, and ponder in this episode. I'm theming this year's podcasts -- all in 2024 will have focus on "practicing for peace." It's broad topic, yes. It has heart calling in it for me. It has inspiration from a few of my most beloved mentors. It has potent invitation to the smallest of personal self care peace moves, and to the biggest of global orientations and peace actions. 

Cory is a pal. A fellow adventurer. An outstanding guide. A fierce joyfulist. To play and learn together is to uncover the deepest of treasures in oneself and among us.

Enjoy the listen.

2024 Themed -- Practicing For Peace

I've chosen a theme for 2024 episodes of this Human to Human Podcast. The theme is Practicing for Peace.

As before this will be conversational with guests. I hope that the stories and insights inspire your own Practicing for Peace. Be it in the daily small things of the inner, or in the longer arc big things of the outer.

Stay tuned. I'm excited for the people coming. I'm excited to contribute to a field of people in practice.

Dave Fearon, Connecticut, USA ”Practice” (November 2023, 51 minutes)

A pleasure to be in conversation with Dave Fearon. Due to a tech glitch I missed adding some recorded appreciations about Dave. I felt encouraged by Dave's wise words and calming voice. He's a long time academic, who got some of his starts in the YMCA.

Enjoy the listen. We touch upon the field of humanism needed for serious problems in the world. Dave was deeply impacted by his shared work with Peter Vaill. I loved asking him about that and the focus of contributing to learning, connecting theory to practice. Dave has a way of living imagination, stories, spirit, passion, love.

I'm moved.

Check Dave out on Facebook and Linked In. He offered this as bio: A lifelong teacher by "all means available" -from five decades in the college classroom to post-retirement podcasting. With the late OD pioneer Peter B. Vail, Dave wrote On Practice as a Way of Being and co-originated the Practice? Podcast.

Lots of fun with Katie Kinnemeyer. She has a brain and a heart that I appreciate. In this conversation, she shares some of the core of her unfolding work. We touch upon field working, field listening, emergence, sense-making, her work with women entrepreneurs, relationship with slowing down, with calling, and with her orientation to generosity and prosperity. I appreciate her voice, a voice of wisdom gained and wisdom in process.
