Interdependence vs. Hyper-Individuality: Reclaiming Connection in a Fragmented World (Part 1)
Season 7 is inspired by the powerful quote by Krishnamurti: "It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society," we're diving into the deep work of healing—not just as self-care, but as a path to purpose, dharma, and collective transformation.
Episode Summary:
Adina and Joshua continue their exploration of how to cultivate wellness within a profoundly sick society with a conversation about interdependence vs hyper individuality. They discussed the importance of reclaiming connection in a fragmented world, and the impact of societal emphasis on individualism. They also explored the challenges of vulnerability and authenticity in social interactions, the influence of capitalism and other dominant social structures, and the importance of self-discovery and reconnecting with nature and spirit. The conversation ended with acknowledgment of the paradox of needing community to develop a healthy sense of self while needing to know oneself in order to feel comfortable in community.
