Unlearning Modernity. Attuning to the Interbeing 

Home/Unlearning Modernity. Attuning to the Interbeing 
unlearning modernity cover

This series is a virtual year-long learning journey designed to accompany and deepen the experience of our four in-person Interbeing Learning Journeys next year. Each monthly session aligns with the themes explored in each journey, offering a space for collective reflection, learning, and imagination across distances.

Together, we will dive into topics such as regenerative practices, ancestral wisdom, the generative power of ritual and sound, and the intricate connections between life, death, and celebration. Guided by voices from diverse territories and cosmovisions, this series weaves a rich tapestry of insights to support activists, changemakers, and seekers on their paths of unlearning and reimagining.

Let these sessions be a bridge between worlds, anchoring us in shared purpose as we explore new ways of being and belonging.

Participation is open to all those interested and donations are invited.

Echoes of the Ancestors: A Collective Altar of Memory Between Life and Death

October 23rd, 4.30pm UTC
In each territory, there are moments when the boundaries between the living and the departed feel more permeable - when memory becomes a living presence and love extends beyond time. This session invites us to explore the “veil”: the delicate threshold between worlds and the bridges we create through ritual, storytelling, and intention.

Drawing from the Huasteca cosmovision in Mexico - where Xantolo celebrations of the dead honor the cyclical exchange between ancestors and the living - and the systemic constellations practice, which reveals transgenerational patterns and hidden dynamics within families and communities, we will open space for dialogue between approaches and perspectives. Join social anthropologist Juan Gerardo López Amaro, Phd and systemic constellations facilitator Adriana Carnu together with their guests in reflecting on how remembrance reveals life and death as interwoven forces shaping belonging and renewal.

Facilitator

Gerardo López-Amaro, PhD

Co-founder of the Enlivened Cooperative, is currently walking the path of imagining spaces of encounter for thinking-feeling together about ways to strengthen the defense of life, memory and territory. He sees this as part of a planetary struggle for cognitive, relational and ontological justice. He is purposefully becoming entangled in a great “we” of people enacting the pluriverse, that “world where many worlds fit.” Born and raised in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, he’s a pilgrim of viable spaces informed by politics of love and consciousness regarding the healing of land and territory, love and intimacy, and labor and livelihood.

Adriana Cârnu

Coach and systemic constellations facilitator, passionate explorer of life’s intricate processes, from the mysteries of birth and death to the ebb and flow of social dynamics that weave the fabric of human connection. She walks a path of deep inquiry, dedicated to creating spaces where people can come together to reflect, feel, and envision ways to honor and defend communities in all its forms. Seeing this as part of a broader, planetary movement for relational, ecological, and ontological harmony, Adriana is committed to fostering a world of interconnection and coexistence. Drawing inspiration from the idea of a pluriverse - a “world where many worlds fit” - she seeks to engage in collective practices that nourish community, memory, and shared responsibility. Adriana is a seeker of spaces informed by love, awareness, and a commitment to healing. Their work spans the realms of land and territory, intimacy and relationships, labor and livelihood - an ongoing pilgrimage toward wholeness, justice and renewal.

Portals to Enlivened Listening

April 23rd, 4pm GMT
“Anything that engages the ways that we experience life itself, can act as a portal in your life.”~Akilah Richards This presentation will invite participants to expand their frames of reference to engage with music listening in new ways. As a portal; beyond evaluating, beyond consuming, and as contemplative traditions suggest - “beyond the tyranny of like and dislike.” Drawing on what I have learned as a musician and dj, I will offer a few tools and toys for a lifelong learning exploration of radical listening. The primary themes we’ll explore are practices encouraging listening in novel ways. As Sufi teacher W.A. Mathieu says, “The truth is, most of us have to learn specifically the single, pure act of listening to music.” This is even more prominent as we grapple with constant distractions in modern culture. In our brief time together we’ll explore practices, suggest resources and encourage the liberating power offered by deepening our listening. Read the Highlights

Facilitator

Cliff Berrien

Cliff Berrien is drummer-percussionist, dj and music educator with over 45 years of experience focused on the rhythms and music of the African Diaspora and many other global music traditions. He has recently been exploring cultural expressions of collective joy as transformative ways to develop creativity, cultural dexterity and to cultivate somatic awareness through music, movement, art and the use of creative and self-reflexive practices including Augusto Boal’s Theater of the Oppressed. He’s here to joyfully share his passion for what might beneficially contribute to healing and liberation for self, others and the planet.

Whispers of the Dunes: Unraveled by Silence

March 20th, 5pm GMT

This is an invitation to embark on a storytelling journey into the heart of the desert - not as a physical place, but as a state of being, an ethereal space pregnant with ontological and epistemological possibilities. Together we will explore the symbolism of the desert across cultures and faith traditions, letting these questions guide us through our pilgrimage back to the source:

  • What happens when we allow ourselves to be unmade by silence?
  • How can the wisdom of the desert guide us on our journey of unlearning modernity?
  • What practices can help us cultivate and nurture our inner desert?
