Very interesting episode on self-inquiry, trauma, and the authentic self, with our Unconditional Men friends, Louie Valloti and Giancarlo Canavesio on the Mangu.tv podcast.

When looking around at what’s happening in the world today, IMHO we are seeing the last outbursts of a limited patriarchal belief system and related fear-based controlling power and resource-driven wars.

When opening a circle (or connecting to an online group discussion) we open the space with a personal or group exercise that takes us out of our minds (our work tasks, our worries from the day or stress situations we have been in) into our hearts by doing a short meditation, priming exercise or a connection to the body through breathing, movement or dancing, and connect to the energy or emotion you’re in.
