#102 Dancing in the Fire (with Kim Loh and Gabe Wilson)

Jul 19 2022 • 1 hr 12 mins

For episode 102, I'm bringing together two past Wonder Dome guests who know each other quite well: Kim Loh and Gabe Wilson. They’ve worked together as facilitators, trainers, and coaches, and they co-authored Compassionate Conversations alongside master practitioner Diane Hamilton.

As the three of us come together again in The Wonder Dome, we deepen into one of the core themes from our prior conversations: the healing, learning, and growth that are possible when at the heart of conflict.

It’s easy to look at our dwindling public commons and despair. It has become driven by 24-hour news media cycles and social media bubbles of highly polarized and insular content. This content points to deep conflicts at the heart of our social structures and institutions.

What we don’t always see is that there are countless folks who are sitting with the question of how can we live together more peacefully and more beautifully?

The paradox is that we might only be able to find the answer to that question if we're willing to walk into the fire of conflict and feel its heat. If we do it unskillfully, we’ll get burned. But if we can find our way in - if we can somehow dance in that fire - we also discover the warmth and light that can serve as the source for new life.
