In the third episode of "Conjuring the Human Spirit", hosts Shawn McGuire-Meeks and Allison Parr-Plasha delve into the transformative power of 'The Way of Council,' a practice also known as the Magic of Listening.
The episode recounts the dramatic events of a recent workshop at Shawn's farm, where participants from diverse backgrounds gathered in a ceremonial circle. As tensions peaked over a politically charged topic, the group faced a profound challenge: to lean into conflict and foster meaningful dialogue. The ensuing conversations and reflective moments led to deeper connections among the remaining group members, underlining the importance of staying present and listening with 'heart ears.'
The episode wraps up with an invitation for listeners to move towards their own conflicts, seeing what unfolds when they "conjure their human spirit" and engage deeply with others.
