From an embodied way of working to the anatomy of narrative change, returning to human scale, and 12 steps to inner rewilding
Hi everyone!
I don’t have a new post for you today as I’m taking some time off during the Easter holidays.
However, in case you missed some of the deep dives and Rabbit Holes issues that I’ve sent out this month, here is a quick overview:
An Embodied Way Of Working
I am currently experimenting with a new way of working – not a process, not really a method or framework, and not really a structure, but a way of being. Let’s call it an embodied way of working! See, I find it super strange that we’ve normalized a way of working in which our bodies are mostly idle or in a very unhealthy position (e.g. sitting and lookin…
The Anatomy of Narrative Change
I believe that we are living in a crisis of imagination! We’re stuck in old mental models, narratives, and ways of thinking, so even when we attempt to think differently or creatively, the results are…modest and average. And that’s because all of our thinking remains stuck inside the box of the old narrative.
Returning To Human Scale
We’re using the wrong scales, people! Fast food, billionaires, “open 24/7”, 9-to-5, instant gratification, a brainstorm, unicorn startups, trillion-dollar companies, gigafactories, short-form content (Tik…Tok), Gross Domestic Product, mass market, daylight saving time, SUVs, mansions….
12 Steps To Inner Rewilding
I recently wrote about the need for inner rewilding. Basically, I believe it’s not only nature (or non-human ecosystems) that is losing its diversity and wildness at alarming rates; it’s humans, too! Our inner diversity is depleting and increasingly being replaced by an inner technosphere and an inner commodification.

Thanks for the great content. I'm still quite new here and I'm kind of sucked down the rabbit hole 😄. I think it's great to not have some new content at times as things want to be processed or just settle, as content can be agitating at times, especially when it's inspiring ans informative.
