New with a K with Ryan James Kemp

In this conversation, I sit down with Ryan James Kemp and explore the deep connections between humans and nature, the importance of relational and embodied awareness, and the paradigm shifts needed for a regenerative future.

We dig into concepts like 'new with a K', relational systems, spiritual intelligence, and the infra crisis, offering profound insights into living in harmony with the Earth.

And we talk about elders and have a few moments of stillness, which I love in these conversations. The conversation has swirled with me through the Summer. I've connected it to the old stories that I love so much, and Ryan brought language to something that I have not yet had.

We explore:

• Relational systems and paradigmatic depth perception

• The concept of 'new with a K' and its implications for perception

• The importance of embodied awareness and relational intelligence

• The infra crisis and its roots in underlying systemic patterns

• The process of becoming and remembering our connection to nature

• The significance of relational language and sensing in spiritual practice

• The role of consciousness and perception in shaping the future

• The importance of creating conditions for life to thrive, not just fixing problems
