Keep up the great work. Somehow we have some overlap of influences in this field. I’ve never been a journalist but I’ve searched out the greats to research for my book, The Impossible Conversation.
Your mention of Amy Westervelt starts a long list of those greats. I’m inclined to mention Dahr Jamail as well for his impeccable journalism delivered wrapped in heart and soul. Perhaps you’ve read his book The End of Ice?
Where we seem to overlap profoundly is in the realm of embodied coherence and healing.
Your inclusion of core distinctions from that work in your article about FF executives was like water on the desert for me.
I’ve been facilitating deep coherence ritual and healing work for 40 years. Nothing like the immense scale of Thomas Huble’s work but some important similarities.
While we did have occasion to work with corporate leaders, and their depth and healing was profound, when it came down to seriously shifting anything about their business model there was that stunned silence you relayed from Britt’s story.
I’ve known we are on a self-terminating path since the late 70s. Hence the name for my book.
But that doesn’t diminish my love of this work of heart and soul one iota. It is a calling I respond to without hesitation. I guess that love of the work comes from having almost 50 years to re ally let go of this self terminating culture and to work with others to reduce suffering some small way.
Wow, thanks for reading through all that and thank you again for your blend in your journalism and written sharing.
"So yes, as journalists it’s absolutely our job to document perpetration and hold power to account. And it’s also our job to notice when we’re slipping into judgment and power-over mindsets — and thus replicating the dynamics of the systems we’re trying to transform."
This is a remarkable blend of leading edge healing work - and piercingly direct reporting on our self-terminating global culture.
