Fireside Chat with Elena Brower

Denizen

This episode is a little different than most, we’re not exploring a single topic. Instead we discuss Elena’s expansive work as it relates to our inquiry. This conversation ties to so many episodes to date: Change from Within with Bobby Klein, Nonviolent Communication, Beyond the Enlightenment, Liberatory Technology, and Parenting, just to name a few. Elena helps us weave them together under the banner of our personal practices.

We discuss her upcoming book, Softening Time, how nonviolent communication has helped her learn self compassion, her recent devotion to Zen Buddhism, her decision to become sober ten years ago, lessons from parenting, her course on living intentionally, and the importance of community.
