    Ep 7 Bonus: Seventh Generation Exercise
    May 30 2024
    This bonus episode will support you to take the main insights from Episode 7: “We Are a Part of a River of Time” deeper into your life. Jess will guide you through an adaptation of the Work That Reconnects exercise called “The Seventh Generation,” which she talks about in Episode 7. We recommend listening to the episode before doing this bonus. In this exercise, you will be invited to use your imagination and do some creative, guided role-playing with a friend, where one of you will speak as yourself, and the other will speak as a future being. For this exercise, you’ll need a friend and a place that is quiet enough for you to sit face-to-face and talk freely. We recommend starting a podcast club with friends or family to do these practices together. Links and assets to help prompt reflection and build community can be found with every episode on WeAreTheGreatTurning.com.
