Loved that conversation about our calling toward beauty, about "great conversation" which is indeed one of the most refreshing stuff I can think of with the seven days on forest and high altitude plains trails I was lucky to walk this week

I often have those conversations, but they are with my own self, and often in my most vividly recalled dreams.

This was a truly healing talk that makes you want to run to God rather than run away.

Vivons heureux avant la fin du monde (14) : Doit-on apprendre à faire l'amour ?
Comment continuer à faire l’amour sans se poser de questions quand on est hétéro, mais aussi fan de Virginie Despentes ? Intellectuellement, on peut tout à fait adhérer aux idées féministes qui démontent les pratiques érotiques standard, à base de pénétration et de domination masculine. Mais en pratique, il n’est pas forcément évident de rebooter son répertoire à fantasmes. Peut-on vraiment dégommer les scénarios sexuels incrustés dans notre psyché ? Qu’en faire ? Comment les assumer sans s’aliéner à ce fichu patriarcat ?

En proie à ces grandes questions et à un vague sentiment de culpabilité, Delphine Saltel rencontre le philosophe Alexandre Lacroix, homme, cis, hétéro, marié, père de 5 enfants, et philosophe. Dans son dernier livre « Apprendre à faire l’amour » paru aux éditions Allary, il essaie d’interroger la sexualité hétéro standard, à sa manière. En puisant dans sa discipline quelques outils sexologiques originaux, Alexandre Lacroix nous incite à passer au rayon X les scripts sexuels dominants dont nous avons hérité. Car pour revisiter nos automatismes et notre imaginaire érotique, il faut déjà prendre conscience des règles et des conventions sociales auxquels on obéit souvent inconsciemment quand on fait l’amour. Analyser le cocktail freudo-porno-sexo qui nous abreuve, et changer nos habitudes pour espérer modifier le scénario. 

Merci à Xavier de la Porte.

Doit-on apprendre à faire l’amour ?

We live in a world that is recreating itself one life and one digital connection at a time. On this landscape for which there are no maps, Seth Godin is a singular thought leader and innovator in what he describes as our post-industrial "connection economy." Rather than merely tolerate change, he says, we are all called now to rise to it. We are invited and stretched in whatever we do to be artists — to create in ways that matter to other people.

Seth Godin — The Art of Noticing, and Then Creating

Silence is an endangered species, says Gordon Hempton. He defines real quiet as presence — not an absence of sound, but an absence of noise. The Earth, as he knows it, is a "solar-powered jukebox." Quiet is a "think tank of the soul." We take in the world through his ears.

She works at an emerging 21st century intersection of industry, social healing, and diverse contemplative practices. Raised Catholic with Joan of Arc as her hero, Mirabai Bush is one of the people who brought Buddhism to the West from India in the 1970s. She is called in to work with educators and judges, social activists and soldiers. She helped create Google’s wildly popular employee program, Search Inside Yourself. Mirabai Bush’s life tells a fascinating narrative of our time: the rediscovery of contemplative practices, in many forms and from many traditions, in the secular thick of modern culture.

Kevin Kling is part funny guy, part poet and playwright, part wise man. A treasured figure on the national storytelling circuit, his voice inhabits an unusual space — where a homegrown Minnesota wit meets Dante and Shakespeare. Born with a disabled left arm, he lost the use of his right one after a motorcycle accident nearly killed him. He shares his special angle on life's humor and its ruptures — and why we turn loss into story.

[Unedited] Alice Parker with Krista Tippett

Singing is able to touch and join human beings in ways few other arts can. Alice Parker is a wise and joyful thinker and writer on this truth, and has been a hero in the universe of choral music as a composer, conductor, and teacher for most of her 90 years. She began as a young woman, studying conducting with Robert Shaw at Juilliard, and collaborated with him on arrangements of folk songs, spirituals, and hymns that are still performed around the world today.

We take in the extraordinary wisdom of Congressman John Lewis, on what happened in Selma on Bloody Sunday and beyond — and how it might inform common life today. A rare look inside the civil rights leaders’ spiritual confrontation with themselves — and their intricate art of "love in action."

Sheryl Sandberg is synonymous with Facebook, and Silicon Valley success, and she’s the voice of Lean In. She joins us, frank and vulnerable, together with the psychologist Adam Grant. His friendship – and his research on resilience - helped her survive the shocking death of her husband while on vacation. They share what they’ve learned about planting deep resilience in ourselves and our children, and even reclaiming joy. There is so much learning here, on facing the unimaginable when it arrives in our lives and being more practically caring towards the losses woven into lives all around us.

Humor lifts us up but it also underscores what’s already great; it connects us with others and also brings us home to ourselves. And like everything meaningful, it’s complex and nuanced — it can be fortifying or damaging, depending on how we wield it. But as a tool for survival, humor is elemental. We explore this idea with a rabbi who started out in drag, comedians, an NPR host, writers of sci-fi fantasy, social commentary, and the TV show VEEP.

No conversation we’ve ever done has been more beloved than this one. This Irish poet, theologian, and philosopher insisted on beauty as a human calling. He had a very Celtic, lifelong fascination with the inner landscape of our lives and with what he called “the invisible world” that is constantly intertwining what we can know and see. This was one of the last interviews he gave before his unexpected death in 2008. But John O’Donohue’s voice and writings continue to bring ancient mystical wisdom to modern confusions and longings.

John O’Donohue — The Inner Landscape of Beauty

Groundbreaking Peabody Award-winning conversation about the big questions of meaning, hosted by Krista Tippett. Every Thursday a new discovery about the immensity of our lives — and frequent special features like poetry, music and Q + A with Krista.
