Tracking Yes: A Guide to Everyday Magic - with Liz Wiltzen, PCC

Meg Wheatley is the author of 12 books, a social activist, a global leadership and organizational consultant, a Buddhist practitioner and a guide and trainer for Warriors for the Human Spirit. 

After a lifetime of activism and a deep understanding of how living systems work, she’s come to realize that life is no longer subject to the kind of interventions that used to be effective. 

In today's conversation we explore her newest book Restoring Sanity: Practices to Awaken Generosity, Creativity and Kindness in Ourselves and Our Organizations and what’s possible when we follow the threads of curiosity and the mystical in our relationships and work.

Join us for some clear-eyed wisdom about how to best participate in the world we are now living in, including:

• what it means to become a Warrior for the Human Spirit
• the conditions that enable us to work together in empowered ways
• harnessing the power of curiosity to access joy
• connecting with the guidance that's revealed in the natural world
• essential practices that help us to be a stable, compassionate presence in difficult moments
• embodying sane leadership
• creating Islands of Sanity in a toxic culture
• listening to the world's needs to clarify meaningful purpose and action

Join me for a conversation with Pete McLean where we explore the power of finding beauty in the darkest places and how you can keep coming back into a creative relationship with life—no matter what it throws your way.

We talk about:

• Tracking Yes: what it is, how it began and what it means to truly live it
• trusting the love that binds us and powerful ways to connect with its guidance
• dogs as spiritual teachers and what they show us when we’re paying attention
• tracking the threads of beauty and magic through the darkest places

Show Notes:
 
Pete McLean was doing carpentry work when a scaffolding collapsed and he fell 14 feet onto rocks, breaking several bones in his lower body.
 
Sometimes the falls come for us, and sometimes we choose to leap, but either way, Pete holds that our falls are the moments in our lives when something deeper in us is creating an opening to make itself visible and expressed in this world. 
 
Could it be that the thing that we spend most of our time keeping beneath the surface- because of fear or shame or some idea that it’s not OK- is presenting us with an opening to give it wings?
 
Join us for a conversation about how we might trust the falls in our lives as experiences in which our soul is calling us into greater courage, curiosity and possibility. 

In this insightful conversation with end-of-life counsellor Dr. Martha Jo Atkins, we explore the power of restoring our natural connection with death in a culture that is conditioned to resist it.

We delve into:

• the clarity that happens when we partner with death as an ally
• how to cultivate the presence to support our beloved humans and pets at end of life
• the value of ritual and ceremony in the dying journey 
• channelling creativity as a grounding force in challenging times
• how the medicine of kindness creates safety
• the unique ways that children are equipped to be with death
• the importance of creating spaces to feel deeply so that love can move with us

 
Martha Jo also shares about “D. School”, an initiative she designed to help us shift perceptions around death and offer guidance to those dealing with it.
 
Marked by personal revelations and heart-touching stories, this episode investigates how we can reframe our perspectives on death, making it less about loss and more about the transition of life.
