What Is So: The Nature of Grief and Surrender with Melissa Word

from Nine Keys & Co: the art, soft-business, activism, and mystery of death work

In this episode What Is So: The Nature of Grief and Surrender, Narinder talks with her friend Melissa Word (melissaword.com), a movement artist, your favorite coach, and death worker who moves like a poem, about what happens when we stop trying to manage life and actually let grief have us. They get into that uncomfortable posture of being both soft and sturdy, spine intact, heart open. They talk about the exhaustion of performative sorrow, the psychic skills we're all going to need, AI as a weird mirror, and how to get the hell out of your echo chamber. 🤖🕯️📡 This one’s got bite and tenderness. Be prepared for a conversation that might bring some clarity. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
