Hi @Everyone, I was just having a yarn with a friend of Deb's and the thought arrived that authentic listening with trusted friends is absolutely critical for emancipation from our embedded mistaken narratives. This is because those narratives are non-consciously embedded in our bodies. So that even when someone says something like, "that's a mistake what you're doing", that behaviour is dysfunctional etc, we can't hear it because we are compelled, that is, physically possessed by the primary habitus. So we don't believe in what we're being told, and/or we dismiss it out of hand, without regard, without really entertaining the thought. And then this whole other subsidiary defensive narrative kicks in. In the blink of an eye. Without listening. Authentic listening teaches us to slow this whole dismissing down.

Hi Fellow Troublemakers,

@Everyone Thanks so much for yesterday I came away really inspired and encouraged! I feel so lucky being able to have these conversations with the both of you and I'm really excited about where this new journey will take us! Following up from yesterday please find a link to a chapter I co-wrote. https://www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edit/10.4324/9781351002042-42/navigating-politics-practice-social-work-research-mark-brough-rod-kippax-barbara-adkins Its not the chapter but it'll give you the reference so that you can find it in your library. I think its a good summary of the kind of thinking I love. Jess, Marc has a copy of my book, but this chapter will get you going and if you like once you've read that I can send you the pdf of the book chapters. I have Marc's thesis that I've started reading so I'll get stuck into that. @jessicastonier can you pls send us some of your writing? Confidentially of course.…

I'm rereading this fabulous article about younger people participation, but its more broadly relevant for all participation. Here's the link if you're interested. Sorry for all my markups. Have a look at 249-250 in particular.

Hi @Everyone,

I was thinking about the obstacles to building inclusion in organisations today. What do you think the biggest obstacles are to learning about inclusion?

Hey @marcgregory @Rod Kippax are you both free in the morning to catch up, I need to be in the city at 4pm now in the afternoon.

I was wondering about an inclusive listening community of practice. We cld begin by inviting the Mercy mob who participated. Any thoughts?

Just wondering when the next time everyone is available for a get together? @marcgregory @jessicastonier
