Structure vs. Emergence: Building the House for the Spirit to Fill 🏠💫
💫 How can we find balance between discipline, structure — the scaffolding that allows us to build and maintain something meaningful in our lives — and organicity,, emergence — following the flow of the present moment and responding spontaneously as life unfolds?
👋 Welcome to humanBeing. Where we gather to practice being more skillfully, creatively human together — not toward some impossible ideal of perfection — but toward greater authentic connection. My name is daniel jacob self and I am so honored to have you here with me today.
🌅 Today we explore the delicate balance between structured routines and organic emergence. By sharing my personal journey from the extreme discipline of ballet to the aimlessness of living without any intention at all, I delve into the interplay of muscle and bone as metaphors for action and reflection.
🤝 With insights and inspiration from the worlds of professional acting, performing arts, somatic healing practices, and liberatory pedagogy, I lay out a case for the cultivation of a harmonious dance between discipline and spontaneity. Join me as we explore cycles, rhythms, movement, and finding life’s beat!
