In this podcast social systems change will be made accessible. In times of societal unrest, political scandals and climate crisis, we, probably unconsciously, question ourselves how to relate to the societal systems in which this is rooted. We often analyse this with our cognition. However, our body anticipates this much faster than our cognition can grasp it.My name is Marjon van Opijnen, founder of the Embodiment LAB. In this podcast I will unravel the mysteries of our bodies in relation to challenging situations. And how more body awareness can help us to create societal and education change that serves us. I hope that this podcast gives you knowledge and new ideas. And that you can take your role as embodied change agent.Because….. Concepts and ideas are important to come to change, but if we fail to feel and life through it, little change will happen.This explorative podcast is about my own search to the relation between societal change and embodiment. I will share background information. I will interview experts and provide exercises. We will think, feel and act!Great that you are here and I hope you enjoy listening to this podcast!

    Arjen Wals – How to transform education to include the whole human being (#26)

    In this Embodiment Talk I have a conversation with Arjen Wals. Arjen is professor Transformative Learning for Socio-Ecological Sustainability at the Wageningen University. We talk about the importance of embodiment in education. And how we can create education systems that create space for connections with ourselves, the other and the world.We talk about:•    What embodiment means for education;•    How education can help to create true connections with ourselves, the other and the world;•    The different forms of learning in eduation and how these can contribute to a more sustainable world;•    How education can teach us to criticize, connect and care. And that vulnerability can exist next to strength;•    How to integrate a systemic perspective in the education system.Arjen Wals is professor at the Wageningen University. He also holds a UNESCO Chair of Social Learning and Sustainable Development. He creates learning processes and spaces where there is sufficient room for diversity, creativity and taps into the resourcefulness that is all around us, but remain largely untapped in the search for a world that is more sustainable.More information about Arjen Wals: www.transformativelearning.nl *  *  *Do you want to get in touch with me, send an email to marjon@embodimentlab.nl.Do you want to know more about the Embodiment LAB, do you want more inspiration or stay up to date with my activities, go to my website (https://www.embodimentlab.nl/) or watch my movies on my YouTube Channel (https://bit.ly/EmbodimentLAB).www.embodimentlab.nl

    Why a new economy does not thrive if we do not heal ourselves – Shinta Oosterwaal (#24)

    In this Embodiment Talk I have a conversation with Shinta Oosterwaal. Recently (2021) she published her book Thrive, Fundamentals for a New Economy together with Kees Klomp. In this episode we look at the change to a new economy and include an embodiment perspective.We talk about:•    What embodiment means for Shinta in relation to societal change;•    How our education system determines our world view and how we look at the world;•    How systems are based on narratives and how we create a fragmented world based on these narratives;•    How we can notice our embodiment beyond our concepts;•    And we talk about tips how to contribute to a better world and do this from a more embodied space.Shinta Oosterwaal is educated as an economist, but calls herself an uneconomist. With her inclusive view on societal change, the word economist is too limited. She is also a trained holistic psychotherapist. Her economy and therapy background brings societal change and our human nature closer to each other.More information about Shinta Oosterwaal: https://www.shintaoosterwaal.com/An overview of her books: https://shintaoosterwaal.com/books/The programme Economics for change: https://schoolforchange.nl/economics-for-change *  *  *Do you want to get in touch with me, send an email to marjon@embodimentlab.nl.Do you want to know more about the Embodiment LAB, do you want more inspiration or stay up to date with my activities, go to my website or watch my videos on my YouTube Channel.

    Why radical honesty is inevitable in change (#22)

    What was the last time that you were radically honest? Maybe you think that you are always radically honest. But.... is that really true? Often we withhold some of hour feelings, thoughts or believes for others. Or we do not share how our body experiences a certain change.In this podcast I dive deeper in the notion radical honesty. And how this is supportive to change.
