To join the conversation please visit:https://www.axonleadership.com/friendsbetweenworlds/episode3In this conversation with Dr. Jeanine Canty, professor of transformative studies at California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) and author of 'Returning the Self to Nature', we delve into the influence of open-heartedness, the concept of the Great Turning, the ailing of Western civilization, the link between narcissism and the ecological crisis, and the transition to becoming menders of Earth-based wisdom. We explore the impact of embodying open-heartedness and the need to foster it in a divided world. Additionally, we discuss the undoing of collective narcissism and its role in healing the planet, as well as the original trauma and primal matrix in the context of ecological consciousness. The conversation covers the concept of the false self and its connection to attachment theory, exploring the impact of damaged relationships with primary caregivers and Mother Earth. It then transitions to a discussion on narcissism, self-awareness, and the importance of recognizing false realities. Finally, the conversation explores the need to establish a participatory relationship with the natural world.
