On Realising the Political is Personal, with Fiona Robertson

On Realising the Political is Personal, with Fiona Robertson

Senior Living Inquiries facilitator Fiona Robertson comes back on the podcast to talk about her essay, 'On Realising the Political is Personal'. We discuss how our political positions are inextricably linked to our core beliefs about life, both in terms of the positions we hold and the dogma or open mindedness which we hold them.

We go on to discuss how cultivating a relationship with a sense of self which is deeper than the opinions we hold can allow us to drop our addiction to certainty and engage with people in a more relational way. We ponder what the implications of this would be for our polarised political climate.
