    Transforming Spaces: Lynn interviews Lee-Anne Hood

    Lee-Anne and I have worked closely in the area of inclusive education for the last 8 years. Here Lee-Anne is able to describe how she views inclusion through the lens of teaching a very full Functional Integrated Program. For Ministry of Education (Saskatchewan-based, of course) guidelines, see this link here. We talk briefly about the differing terms of segregation, integration, and the contrast with aspirational inclusion for students. We are referencing primarily Shelley Moore's great work...

    Transforming Spaces: Lynn interviews Dan Lundell

    Yes, Dan is Lynn's husband, and co-owner/operator of Attic Therapy, the business behind One Hard Thing. It seemed appropriate to start with the most inclusive person I know, in all the best senses. Dan is not conventionally welcoming, in personality, looks, or life experience. However he has ended up in a wide variety of spaces where his particular way of being has transformed what could have been awkward, uncomfortable, or even hostile interactions into warmth and connection. It's great to h...

    Transforming Spaces: Lynn interviews herself first, to be fair!

    Inclusion is not an academic or professional or political word. It is deeply personal, moral, and foundational to a just society. This season will focus on conversations with individuals who each have a perspective that is unique to their place in life, their gathered wisdom, and their particular hopes or thoughts about who could be made to feel more welcome, and maybe what they see happening in that regard in their world. Because the topic of inclusion can spark deeply felt trauma histories ...

    Transforming Spaces: Season 2 Introduction

    Welcome back to One Hard Thing! This season I will be talking with individuals about their sense of safety, and how it relates to choice, connection, and opening doors. Humans are unique and powerful in our ability to transform our world from what is to what could be. If we want a welcoming, inclusive, and flourishing society, how would we get from where we are to what we can envision? What do we envision this to look like? And how many points of view does it take to describe a world that is ...

    Untangling Science from Stories and Finding Subjective Truth

    This wraps up Season 1! It by no means untangles everything but it's time to pause and start to bring in other perspectives. I want to set this up by celebrating the uniqueness, and irreplaceable nature, of each person's view and story. Yes, we can objectively quantify all sorts of data and facts, but without a story, there is no purpose to the exercise. Science is a means of finding out answers to questions that occur as part of a Story. And that story is subjectively experienced as Truth be...

    Untangling the Size of the Problem from our Fear of Scarcity (or the Size of our Pockets?)

    It is hard to match resources to problems that we already know are too large to handle. However, calibrating the "size of the problem" accurately, and proportionate to our need for safety before all else, is a critical skill. When we minimize, and worse, teach our children to minimize, based on discounting our feelings, we undercut what could be so valuable in marshalling appropriate resilience and creative responses to the world as it is, rather than as we wish it would be. I reference Gavin...

    Untangling the Safety Nets from the Silos, and Supporting the Whole Village

    Structures are very useful, and function very well when defined, and able to store and use resources. However, in the world of children, structures that function more like silos are a difficult reality. It's a hard thing, but maybe we can keep the structures more or less intact while adding in conversational friendships to bridge the gaps (or chasms) between them.Song: Luz de Luna Artist: Juan Sánchez Artist’s Website: https://juansanchezmusic.info/Song: RebirthArtist: Juan SánchezArtist’s We...

    Untangling Outrage from Our Perspective (Structures, Processes, and People are not the Problem)

    It is so easy to direct moral judgement outwards towards solutions that seem hopelessly archaic or even immoral. Trying to reduce the level of judgement by differentiating structures (which absolutely were created to solve problems) from processes (constrained and suggested by the structures which house them) and most especially from the people who inhabit our world, will go a long way to creating constructive discourse. Our outrage is a signal and should be respected, researched, and e...
