Grief House - Portals

In this episode Sascha and I discuss the space between grief and disappointment, poetry and instruction, learning and discovering.

We decided to have the theme of our first ever episode recorded with the participation of a live audience be - mistakes! It was no accident; it guaranteed no matter what went wrong we would be perfectly on theme. Gratefully it all went exactly right, in a fumbling, not totally planned a little bit jagged and loose kind of way. Take a listen and see what you think.

In this episode we invite you to the recording of our first community episode on June 24th at Leaven Community Center across from Alberta Park in Portland. We also discuss our disaster bonded friendship, shared mistakes and our ideas about the long and short term impact of things done imperfectly.

In this episode Sascha and I tell stories of our experiences of public grief. We notice how different it feels to hold grief other's than it feels to spill our own and wonder about what conditions make grief feel safe enough or wild enough to come out into the open.

In this episode Sascha and I talk about the ways we reach out from inside ourselves to meet the world. We explore the difference between operating from our logical, thinking brains with our polished, public personalities showing vs opening from a deep and misty inner space that feels more vulnerable but also, maybe, more alive. We talk about how both methods have served us and what we think has shaped our access to our deep knowing and revealing.
