#22: Nina Simons — Nature, Culture, the Sacred and Feminine-Inflected Leadership Artwork

Spaces Between with Al Jeffery

Sitting around the philosophical fire, join Al as he explores integral perspectives and regenerative practices for restoring community in the 21st Century. What does it mean to 'queer the mind,' and live in congruence with the wholeness of who we are, to integrate our parts? In a deeply-connected-yet-fragmented world, Al invites ambitious thinking, deepens ways of feeling, and welcomes broadened epistemologies that may extend our cultural imagination to a more totalising and inclusive horizon. Through elucidating the mutli-dimensionality of the human condition through psychological know-how, philosophical insight, and artistic poetics, Al and the guests he invites attempt to weave a larger story in which to find ourselves and our way, together. How does our view on leadership and relating shift through an embodied developmental lens? How might we contribute to a life-regenerating future from the inside-out? Spaces Between is an open-inquiry into restoring connection in our lives, relations, and communities. Modelling generative dialogue, vulnerability, and courageous conversation, Al weaves not only a heard but felt journey back to connection with self and world 🌏

#22: Nina Simons — Nature, Culture, the Sacred and Feminine-Inflected Leadership

October 20, 2020 • Nina Simons • Episode 22

What a delight! In this conversation, I connect and dance with Nina Simons, Co-Founder and Relationship Strategist at Bioneers. A movement, community and media platform I’ve admired and relished over the past years, committed to healing relationship to our ecologies, the sacred and beloved community.

In this time, noticing our tendency towards the light, toward the neatly-woven, the linear, and toward the “masculine," we explore what a feminine-inflected or heart-led paradigm of leadership might look like. Drawing on indigenous wisdom, spirituality, ecology, psychology and poetry; how might we replenish our backpacks with a full spectrum of all human possibilities, renewing relationship as the foundation of our lives and leadership?

This one is full of soul-enriching reminders, invitations for reflection, rituals for tending to relationship and echos of timeless wisdom that guide us on our way back to living in and restoring relationship.
