Jes, Joe, Evva and I all author work that arises from deeply-explored, daily-lived enquiries and a desire to move through the world in connection with ourselves and the world around us.
The circle we sat in together became a beautiful, rich enquiry into what meaningful work ‘is’ when we it’s rare to receive trusted signals and feedback that lets us know that our work is useful, how it lands, or the ripples it creates.
And, this enquiry was more than just an exploration of meaningful work; the experiences we’re having and the questions we’re holding as authors of our work are also experiences and questions around belonging, relationship, community, and guidance. It’s also an exploration of big and large stories and finding space in those stories.
Ecological Us endeavours to bring listeners a fly-on-the-wall experience of facilitating and participating within a circle from arrival to completion. To keep the experience as authentic as possible, these recordings are only lightly edited and you’ll join us when we sit in silence and reflection.
The act of being in circle together, whether actually sitting in a circle (in person) or in intention (i.e. online), embodies the perspective that we are all of equal worth, with no one person's worth being greater than another's. It also reminds us that while we are individual and unique, we exist within many wholes: from our shared humanity to our membership of different communities, as well as being kin within a multispecies, multigenerational world.
Note: at the start of this circle, you’ll hear us talking about the Guest Circle Member Foundational Agreements that Ecological Us guest circle members are asked to complete to craft our circle container. (And, if you’re curious about the guest circle member journey from invitation to completion, you’re welcome to dive in to the Guest Circle Member Guide here.)
