I wrote this during layovers between Toronto and London, on my way to Amsterdam for the summer, but before I start my next voyage, South Africa. Three days ago (April 27, 2014), South Africa's democracy turned 20 years old. A short time before then I spent much of December and January in South Africa, thanks to the support of my community of listeners, family and friends and a generous grant from The Astraea Foundation Global Arts Fund. This was my third time in South Africa; the first trip happened in 2001 and the second in 2011. The purpose of the trip was to complete the SoundTracking Our Lives Tour, a project that simulated the migration pattern of house music from the U.S. to South Africa, launching in New York, traveling to Chicago and Detroit, and finally, concluding in Johannesburg. The purpose of the tour was to document the work of women who have played a role in the evolution of house and its transmigration, and are currently active in its development.

This week on The Process, we dig deep into authenticity, unpacking the dangers of its absence and the power of its presence. We explore how we were taught (read: trained) to minimize our truths, and how we might begin to unlearn those lessons.  We get clear on what authenticity means to us, and how it demands that we investigate our own needs and desires such that we can share them with others. The road to authenticity isn’t an easy one, but the journey is (of course) worth it.   Give it a listen and let us know what you think.

On The Process, we work through the experiences we're having on the journey to our best lives. Each episode we dig into a different topic - love, sex, money, life changes -  with a mission to uncover the things that threaten to diminish our joy, and to discover the things that will help us magnify it.

From time to time, we conduct interviews with people (other makers and creators) whose work and lives inspire us to reflect on radical - more sustainable - ways of being in the world.  We want to know about your process. We want to talk with people who are forging their own path, making their own way, and living in their own dream. 

If you'd like to be a guest on the process, send us an email at asktheprocess@gmail.com.
