  • Summary

  • Today we mark the completion of seven years of Turning Towards Life with a conversation about how we might find a way to participate in our lives, whatever life brings us. In many ways, this has been the recurring theme of our last seven years - how to be active participants in a life which will always be a mystery and in which so much is beyond our control.

    We talk about the gifts of being active observers of our lives, which takes a concerted kind of practice and attention, and what it is to respond actively and intentionally to what we observe. And how that can give us opportunities both to respond to life as it is to learn and deepen as we go.

    Hosted, as always, by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.

    What the Journey is For

    What if the descent,
    Over and over again,
    Into the dark
    And back out into the light
    Is the forging of us rather than
    The breaking of us?

    What if there’s nothing wrong with us in the deepest sense of that truth?

    What if we are not broken
    Even when we find ourselves
    Back in the same territory,
    Back in painful patterns,
    Back in the underworld again?

    What if we are simply meant to give ourselves over to a process
    That isn’t meaningless at all
    But a bright, spiralling, gravitational pull
    Ever-deeper towards
    Our own
    Sheer
    Gorgeous
    Becoming?
