In Conversation with Gaia

by Bridget Woods | Current

Monday 20th April 19h30 SAST

Many are experiencing this time of cloistering, as a rite of passage, an initiation. All initiations call for separation and a journey into the unknown, often one that challenges and brings to the surface that which can only be sensed in the in-between. A deep listening into what is being called forth. Otto Scharmer’s U theory describes this surrender of self to a moment without past or future, as presence; a deep listening, or communing with, and in, the vast field of intelligence that we are. In this Gaia’d conversation, Beth Jandernoa, a much loved friend and mentor who worked with Otto for many years, will join us in a presencing practice and dialogue exploring our selves as ‘of the earth’ not separate from it. ‘The natural world demands a response beyond scientific insight. The natural world demands a response that rises from the wild unconscious depths of the human soul’. Thomas Berry, ‘The Wild and the Sacred’ in The Great Work, p55.

Reconciliation as core to Deep Adaptation

by Bridget Woods | Upcoming

18 May 2020

The controversial and unorthodox paper “Deep Adaptation: A Map for Navigating Climate Tragedy”, by Professor Jem Bendell, published mid-2018 started a deep adaptation movement, that courageously looks profoundly bad news in the eye and at the same time offers ways to live in this ‘Great Turning’. Deep adaptation speaks of resilience (how do we keep what we really want to keep) relinquishment (what do we need to let go of) and restoration (what can we bring back to life to better meet the coming difficulties and tragedies) as useful frameworks for community dialogue in the face of climate change. More recently he added Reconciliation. Join Beth Jandernoa and Glennie Gillespie, respected teachers and leading lights in the Presencing and Dialogue global communities as well as long-time meditators, in a Gaia’d dialogue on Deep Adaptation with a focus on the heart opening work of reconciliation.
