Part of what is counter-intuitive about our pedagogy is that it is not trying to offer a universal description of the world or a prescription for how everyone needs to think or what everyone needs to do. This is up to each person, in each context. What we offer is an invitation to grow up and show up to each other differently as we move together in foggy terrain full of potholes.
This is not about content, but about ways of relating (to each other, to knowledge, to our self-images, to meaning, to time…). We offer a tentative aspirational compass (towards sobriety, maturity, discernment and accountability), maps of potholes and ditches that other people have encountered (see for example the “happier, healthier, wealthier cartography“), new vocabularies that can help us see the limits of the current system within and around us (see for example “cartographies of aging“), and a political practice based on honesty, humility, hyper-self-reflexivity and humour (see “Co-sensing with radical tenderness“).
