Hello Dear Fellow MBSR Teachers,
In a 3-Part Series on Revolutionary Wellness Talk Radio I will be interviewing Adebayo C. Akomolafe, PhD on profound shifts in consciousness. I think you will appreciate his perspective and so I am sharing information about this series with you.
Episode Description:
A particular intra-disciplinary ‘turn’ & refocus on the vibrant materiality of the world undoes human exceptionalism and resituates humans in a web of life that is not of their own making. This feminist flattening of things means it is now unthinkable to think of the world (or the self) in the very anthropocentric ways we are used to. This is frightening – the thought that we are not in control – but it opens up new kinds of hope & new spaces of power. Writer & speaker Bayo Akomolafe shares about his experience with Yoruba healers and their guerrilla cosmo-visions of a vibrant, material world & speaks about re/covery, intra-ruptions, crisis, & deep care…while couching all of this in the world of Trump, big oil, & climate change. Situating himself within this indigenous, deeply feminine perspective, he invites new ways of thinking about & making sense of ourselves, our futures, nature, our disenchantments with politics as usual, & the potential for living an abundant life in a modern world that feels disconnected and depressing.
