Worth Talk — Who are you beyond what you have and what you do?
|
When it comes to your life's path, what else is possible beyond the menu offered by modern culture? Have you ever thought and felt something like this: "I don’t know exactly what it is, but something’s missing…"? This was me in 2014 at the end of my career as a Software Engineer. I had an immense longing to be outside, in nature, playing and learning. A whole new field had just opened up for me —Interactions with other beings other than humans. I wanted to immerse myself in self-discovery, music and life adventure. AND... I didn't know what to do. I was torn inside, between continuing living a comfortable life or jumping into the adventure. Do I keep working on these innovative ideas, become a successful entrepreneur and be set for life? Or, do I take this life calling impulse to jump into the unknown? Obviously, the second part was winning. The second part won. This is why I'm here at the coffee shop in a small town in Vancouver Island, Thursday morning, 1 hour before I have to run to catch the bus to get to the new farm where I'm going to be apprenticing for the next 2 weeks, talking to plants, planting seeds, being with a team growing food for our community and at the edge of what else is possible with humans collaborating with nature. This is why... I have an invitation for you!Next week, Monday, April 21st, I'm holding space with Devin Gleeson for a worktalk to be and dive deep into these questions: What is missing? What happens at the edge? Who are you beyond what you have and what you do and what you know? A worktalk on Edgeworking, Teamworking and Discovering your intrinsic, unmeasurable, deliverable and non-material Value. This is the WORTH TALK! The Worth Talk to explore your relationship with your edge, value, self-worth, what you are and what you long for. It's a space to: → Discover the YOU that exists beyond achievements and possessions → Engage with your authentic EDGE in connection with others → Speak from your heart, what are you longing for? → Be heard, be seen that you're not crazy in wanting what you want → Meet other edgeworkers who might join your team → Get clear about your doubts and possible next steps → Explore alternative ways of living beyond the corporate, entreprenuerial, tech and office jobs. → Drop the show, say what you've been longing to say and be heard → Discover the natural skills that already exist in your being Are you in?When?

I've been listening to the audiobook Grandfather from Tom Brown Jr. This book, narrated by the author, is a gem for those seeking for answers about: ~ The role of human beings on Earth ~ What did it look like in north america before and while modern culture started taking over? ~ How is survival and living connected? ~ Are human beings a life taking parasite species? ~ What is really going on beyond what we were taught in school? ~ How do I live my vision and purpose? In the book, Grandfather...
10 years ago my heart shattered about life. The biggness of the world. My belonging in this world. The cruelty of human beings. The level of numbness that human beings use to survive in this world. Humans exploiting life, animals, plants and other human beings. The robotic way of spending a whole life working to make somebody else rich. The frantic zombie-like chase of money and success. I didn't know then, but I was grieving. A grief that was bigger than my being. An ancient grief that...
It’s May 20th. Today is my birthday, and I want to celebrate it this morning by writing in this space. For me, this writing space is about being at my edge. It’s also about sharing what I’ve been discovering and making invitations to be, play and work together. This week, I’ve been discovering how much of my orientation is about controlling what others think of me. The sensation is that I walk around not looking through my own eyes, but through the eyes of others looking back at me. It’s...
