Powershift

And the statues, walls, and realities finally began to tumble down… Humans and the concept of power have a long and complicated history. Who has it, how they got it, who’s denied it, and why. And in 2020 our notions of power have changed so radically that the old power structures seem to be at breaking point. Gary Zuckov says “a new understanding of power is replacing our old understanding of power as the ability to manipulate and control. The old understanding of power has become counterproductive to our evolution. What used to be good medicine has become poisonous.” Are we evolving from a species that pursues external power, into a species that pursues authentic internal power? Could we finally be moving on from hierarchal power structure to a more equitable, lateral version of power? And um, what does that mean exactly? In this episode, we interrupt your original programming and talk power shifts. Internal and external. Personal and collective. What does that mean to have, lose and share power? Can we change the world? What about the changes bought about due to the pandemic, the civil uprising and Black Lives Matter? Massive times call for massive conversations, so let's talk it out. Are you ready? la revolución ha comenzado (the revolution has begun!).
