This 90 minute session is a combination of a meditation / prayer, watching, listening and discussing how language has the power to affect the way we react to ideas and how we can use this energy to change ourselves – individually and collectively. When someone expresses a thought their words convey an energy that reverberates around the room. This reverberation can trigger other thoughts or ideas in the listeners. Can the words we use have the power to trigger positive collective change? How can we shift our thinking to value fluidity, replacing impact with a more inclusive conceptualization ( e.g. reverberation), demystifying continuity and valuing the energy of pollination, replacing continuity of actors with continuity of purpose.
