Manage episode 377706746 series 3493567
Hold onto your pitchforks! In this episode, we get into Kai Cheng Thom's thought-provoking new book, "The Village & The Woods." Discover how the ideas in this book resonate with our self-concept as they relate to community, and how they apply to our media mindset. How do the concepts shed light on the current wave of intense celebrity backlash dominating the news cycle? How we can learn more about ourselves and what we see reflected in our communities through media and heal from the pattern we see playing out?
Join us as we revisit recent celebrity controversies, from Mila & Ashton to Drew Barrymore's lack of solidarity, and emerge with fresh insights. We explore how these stories and the resulting backlash mirror the archetypes beautifully articulated by Kai.
Don't miss this in-depth discussion about the importance of redemption paths for individuals and communities, and how understanding these archetypes can pave the way for individual & collective transformation.
