The main focus of this session is a deepening of the core elements for weeks 3 and 4. Those elements are:

1. A mythopoetic, archetypal, soulful view of the importance of reclaiming center on this predicament-laden path of human-caused collapse. Michael Meade lives and breathes this deep soul work. It is our hope that many of us in this collapse-aware and collapse-acceptant community will find life-changing value in seeing our predicament through this lens of reclaiming our birthright, Center, as we dive into our own Soul Work.

2. A cornerstone interview and course element for almost ten years now, the Week 4 interview with film maker, Deeyah Khan. Khan is a breathtaking exemplar of someone generating truly new ways of being, presencing, relating - in the face of unimaginable aggression and potential threat.

Deeyah Khan is an exemplar of what is possible in relating - even in times of deadly polarization.

3. Brief reviews of suggested practices at this level of the course.... Essential Centering from Somatics Sensei, Staci Haines... and, a second, more advanced level of our Wider Embraces Guided Meditation practice.

We strongly suggest revisiting these two physical and energetic practices as often as once per day - if at all possible.

Collateral Beauty while an Introductory Course, is intentionally designed to be as valuable, engaging and challenging for long time members of the Collapse-Aware and Collapse-Acceptant communities - as it is for folks who are new to this existential topic.

This recording is session 4 of 6 of the Saturday Group Practice sessions in support of the six Collateral Beauty Course Sections offered in April and May of 2024.

This course is most often done as a Recordings-Only series - found in our Living Resilience Online Community Space (a Mighty Networks platform).

What makes this Spring 2024 offering unique is the addition of two weekly Group Practice sessions (Tuesdays and Saturdays) in which participants have an opportunity to get to know one another, exchange feedback about practices, and engage in Q and A about each week's topics and practices.

Each of these weekly Practice Sessions are being recorded for anyone who can't make it to the live session - and for the use of future Collateral Beauty participants.
