Wisdom 2.0: Connecting With Ourselves, Connecting With Each Other: An Evening Of Embodiment Practice | LinkedIn (August 2018): My Notes
With: Stephanie Meux (Wisdom 2.0) & David Treleaven (Strozzi Institute)
LinkedIn. August 2018. San Francisco, CA
Disclaimer: As with all of my published notes from workshops or conferences, these are in no way comprehensive. Nor are they a literal summation of what was said. They are simply my notes, my interpreted, perspective-ed reflections, photos, and jottings, that occasionally combine my own records & thoughts with those of the speakers. There might be some typos.
Looking. Up (:-)
Somatics & Embodiment – just because you know better, doesn’t necessarily mean you can do better.
Just because there’s intellectual understanding, doesn’t mean it will lead to new action under pressure…
Is what you’re practicing in you life aligned with your values?
Transformation isn’t just an idea, it’s a lived, felt experience.
By learning to tolerate uncomfortability, and vulnerability..
We practice, we practice, we practice, and then at some point it clicks.
1) You are what you practice.
2) You’re always practicing something.
3) Is what you’re practicing in alignment with what you care about / your values?
How can we be of support?
The connection between the mind & body.
Head. Heart. Intuition :)
Can we act from a place where these are all in alignment at the same time?

The Way It Is by William Stafford
There is a thread you follow. It goes among things that change. But it doesn’t change People wonder about what things you are pursuing. You have to explain about the thread. But it is hard for others to see. While you hold it you can’t get lost. Tragedies happen, People get hurt or die, And you suffer and get old. Nothing you do can stop times unfolding. But you don’t ever let go of the thread.

May it be so...
Thank you for a restful, rejuvenating, embodied, and enlightening week 🙏🏽❤️📿🌸

By Staci K. Haines and Ng’ethe Maina
From the Article:
“What is Practice? A central component of any change process – personal change or organizational change – is the concept of practice. But what is practice and why is it so important? Practice is simply the act of doing something, whether that something is as complicated as doing a piano solo or as simple as washing the dishes. We call it practice when the act becomes a repeated behavior.”
By Amanda Blake, Richard Strozzi-Heckler, Ph.D, Staci K. Haines
From the Article:
“For the last 40 years, Strozzi Institute has trained leaders in business, education, military, non-profit, social change, and many other domains. What distinguishes SI’s work is a unique mind-body approach to developing a greater capacity for effective action. Some see this approach as cutting-edge; others as marginal at best. Despite a long history of positive results, the question “What does the body have to do with leadership?” remains bewildering to many.”
By Richard Strozzi-Heckler
From the Article:
“We are made to feel. Feeling allows us to know when danger is present, and when it is safe; to know who we can trust, or not; to empathize with others; to love; to be touched by beauty; to live in purpose and meaning; to be part of the natural order; and, to lead a moral life. Simply said: Feeling makes us fully human.”
