The 3rd episode of our 2nd season is the first where we don't get out of our conversation for the entire show, apart from the short jingles. This might seem like an unimportant technical detail, but it actually says a lot about the flow and intensity of our conversation with Kristin Verellen. We had planned to cut to recordings brought to us by Ron Jesiolowski, who was so kind to provide us with a painting and a poem of his, but we realised the conversation needed to get all the space. Luckily we're in the process of planning a full show with Ron and his brother in April.
All that to introduce this very first uncut show, where we talk about 'polarisation' with Kristin Verellen, a Belgian gestalt practitioner and systemic constellator. She shares the gripping story of a personal loss in the 2016 terrorist attacks in Brussels and how it lead her to the creation of We Have the Choice, an NGO that organises circle meetings to bridge diversity.
We were both struck and moved by Kristin bringing her heart in and flowing to her powerful activism through the wound that she carries. Supported by some of her poems from a recent book she published, we try to make sense of the polarities by which our thinking and being in the world is so defined.
One of a kind and very metaphorical that this show is in one piece ;).
Enjoy!
Thomas and John.
