Episode 2: Technologies of Consciousness
We were curious about consciousness and interruption. How we can view interruption as a destructive distraction in some settings, but we can also benefit from interruptions when we are in intentionally crafted creative spaces. When we are paying attention, conscious of the thriving of the people we are with, interruption can be a positive motive force. Join us as we talk with Marti Spiegelman and explore disjointed career paths, coming to wisdom about consciousness, connection and fluidity, energy and purpose. When applying principles of awareness and negotiability we can achieve nothing less than an interruption in our worldview, in which we embrace change as a reconnection with the world around us and appreciate the constancy of human and ecological relationships.

These Days
whatever you have to say, leave
the roots on, let them
dangle
And the dirt
Just to make clear
where they came from
– Charles Olson
