"How can we stay in relationship when we are immersed in our own deep disappointment with ourselves and each other?"

This is one of many interviews to come in our yearlong Living Resilience special focus course, Islands of Sanity in a Mad World. (September 2024 - September 2025)

There a very few people I have met who are as close to a perfect fit for the conversations in this series, as Holly Truhlar.

Holly is highly educated with a Doctorate in Law and a Masters in Transpersonal Psychology. As you will hear in her own intro in our interview, where Holly's apparent "fit" in her work of facilitation of group work in extremely delicate and charged environments comes in her love of people, her love of the beyond human, her deep commitment to inclusion of all.

We explore this ground in this conversation and quite a bit more.

At the end of our conversation you will hear me invite Holly back for more interviews and a few of our future special focus Panel Discussions. I invite you to listen for Holly's soulful tracking through some of the most polarizing and pain-filled topics in our world today. She would be a powerful addition to any of our special focus explorations in this yearlong program, Islands of Sanity in a Mad World.

I also invite you to join me in my "Holly Practice" that I've practiced for years...
Join me in borrowing a bit of Holly's remarkable ability to see and understand the challenges and Predicaments we humans face, feel together the very human feelings of fear, grief and anger... and, complete the cycle by recalling the almost daily doses of human care, community and Love that are so often right next to the more difficult aspects of our world.

This is not Hopium... this is a commitment to Soul, The Sacred in the everyday, and to Relatedness being our shared, human ground of Being.

This interview is a part of a year-long special focus series here in Living Resilience and The Poetry of Predicament YouTube channel podcast.

This series, Islands of Sanity in a Mad World, is a grassroots level exploration of how Collapse-Aware and Collapse-Acceptant people can reconnect with robust wellbeing, even as we grapple with human-caused predicaments at every scale of our lives.

What if these predicament-laden times are also an opportunity, a calling, to embody new levels of: Physical, Emotional, Mental, Relational, and Spiritual, Health?

Perhaps this human-caused collapse of both Earth and Human Systems is also an individual and collective Initiation to true Adulthood and perhaps to Sacred Elderhood.

We are serious about this being a Grassroots exploration of embodied wellbeing and profoundly effective practices as we face our predicaments. If you are aware of inner or external resources that help you expand your capacities to be present in the face of ever-growing stressors - please contact us to be considered for an interview in this special focus series. You are also welcome to suggest others experts and lay-people alike, for participation in an interview or panel discussion on collapse-related topics.
