Does joy sometimes feel hard to access? Ever find yourself focusing more on where you’re suffering or experiencing pain? Or perhaps you find it easy in this season of your life but want to experience joy even more?

In the last micro-episode of Season 3, Jennifer guides you to amplify joy on three different levels: the gross, subtle and causal. She encourages you to enhance the experience of joy, even amidst pain and includes a suggestion to explore the Buddhist practice of Tonglen if you’re facing difficult times.

If you play with this practice and have an insight you’d like to share, we’d love to hear from you!

We’ve been talking about “feeling more” so we can access more wisdom in our leadership, but what if we’re really good at avoiding pain?

In the final week of season three of the Tension of Emergence, Jennifer delves into the question of how to work with personal and collective pain with the co-founder of Mobius Executive Leadership and expert in trauma-informed development, Amy Elizabeth Fox. Together they break down the illusory binary between the personal/professional, individual/collective and pain/joy.

They also share—

• Three stages of working with pain and how to transmute pain into possibility
• How the privatization of healing has gotten us into trouble
• Why communal witnessing can shift everything

Tune in for an in-depth exploration of how to work with personal and collective pain so that you can access more joy, presence and liberation.

Jennifer offers a practice, inspired by her conversation with modern-day mystic and teacher Cynthia Bourgeault.

Instead of virtues being a static object we have, they can be thought of as active agents of change. Jennifer offers a two-part practice to help you leverage your unique personal virtues (and power) to transform a current challenge.

In this episode, Jennifer shares a personal example and emphasizes the importance of practice as a dynamic process of learning from your direct experience.

If you play with this practice and have an insight you’d like to share, we’d love to hear from you!
