| Loosening the Grip: Navigating Our Collective Inflection Point (Feral Wisdoms Collection—A Conversation) with Jana Norman | 16 Sep 2025 | 00:37:40 | |
In this inaugural conversation of the Feral Wisdoms collection of the Convexplorations podcast, Anna welcomes environmental humanities scholar Jana Norman for an exploration of our current collective crossroads. Together, they examine how we might navigate away from hierarchical, disembodied ways of being toward more relational, ecologically-grounded approaches to life and community. Drawing on insights from ancient Indigenous cycles, cellular intelligence, and the wisdom of natural patterns such as seagrass restoration, Anna and Jana explore what it means to 'loosen the grip' on rigid identities and defensive contractions. They discuss the art of staying present with discomfort, embracing multiplicity, and generating choicefulness in this pivotal moment of choosing between fear-based systems and regenerative ways of being. We collectively have reached an important inflection point in planetary and human histories. This conversation offers both philosophical depth and practical wisdom for anyone seeking to re-embed themselves in embodied, relational living during these challenging times. | |||
| 'Breathing the Gardens of Renewal' (Body as Guru Collection—A Guided Somatic Journey) | 02 Sep 2025 | 01:02:30 | |
This is a guided somatic journey. It takes around one hour to complete. It's likely to be consciousness altering, and best listened to lying down. It's perfect to use for going to sleep at night. Please don't listen to it while operating machinery or doing anything you need your wits about you for! You will be in control, of course, at all times. When you have had enough, you can just decide to sit up and get on with your day, or turn it off for sleep. If you go for the whole journey, please be aware that the final 15 minutes or so uses binaural beats in the theta range. Have fun. This is part of the Body as Guru collection. | |||
| 'Where do you end... and the world begin?' (Body as Guru Collection) | 01 Sep 2025 | 00:20:42 | |
Travel with me through ancient entanglements... journeys that began long before human consciousness first stirred... intimacies written into the very cells of your body. Today, we're going to explore our own bodies as a meeting place where countless forms of life converge to create what you experience as... well, you. Where exactly do you end... and the world begin? | |||
