Inner Pathways Inner Pathways project

Listen to these fifteen juicy minutes with Charles Eisenstein. We talk about staying in the unknown and in the brokenness, about the urge to act and the territory between the old and the new story. About the polarization that we live in nowadays and the experience of touching god by being in someone else's shoes. We invite you to trust the wisdom of nature who birthed us as part of herself... and to walk together towards the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible.

Arawana Hayashi is a choreographer, performer and educator who heads the creation of Social Presencing Theater for the Presencing Institute. Social Presencing Theater is an innovative social art form combining embodiment and meditative practice.

In this podcast, Arawana and Peter talk about her new book: Social Presencing Theater – The Art of Making a True Move as well as ways how this practice can support inner pathways towards sustainability.

Arawana’s book and work is an affirmation of the power of art as a spiritual practice and an agent for social change.

Welcome to season two of the Inner Pathways Podcast! We will publish a new episode every full moon. 

Today, we reconnect with our work, providing inspirations for the inner pathways. You can hear about our favourite grounding practices and stories about how we are using the materials produced during the two years of the project.

All the resources we mention are available for free on innerpathways.eu. Do check them out! 

In this episode, Kasia and Fernanda talk about peak experiences and life cycles, providing very interesting and research-based insights about how to tap into interconnectedness or interbeing.

Wondering what a peak experience is? Abraham Maslow, who first talked about it in 1964, describes peak experiences as “rare, exciting, oceanic, deeply moving, exhilarating, elevating experiences that generate an advanced form of perceiving reality, and are even mystic and magical in their effect upon the experimenter”.

Have you have experimented it?

This practice is an invitation to become more aware of your own breath.  Breath sounds like a simple thing to get in touch with, as it happens naturally. It is so easy to forget about it and to give it for granted, but the breath is always there, and it is a great resource to get back to when we need to infuse some consciousness to our present moment.

"Mountains have a lot to teach us if we let them teach us". 

In this well renowned guided meditation from Jon Kabat-Zinn, brought to you by Paola Bortini, the image of the mountain is used to strengthen ourselves and our sense of worth and ability to face the changing times of our life, each season with its own beauty. 

It invites us to focus on the essence of being and letting go of what is not serving us, the judgment coming from ourselves and others that is distracting us from our core value.
