Irresistible (fka Healing Justice Podcast)
Society & Culture
This week we’re talking with psychotherapist Mark Fairfield about the central role of connection in our lives and lethal individualism. We learn about relational culture, factors for resilience, his work supporting caregivers in the AIDS movement, how bullying is a euphemism, and failure.
Download the corresponding practice (“Sharing Resonance”) to learn an amazing exercise to help build connection in your life and your community.
