S2E13: Finding the Collective Body - Brian (pt.1)

Shifting from the idea of the individual soul to a possible collective soul is a tricky one. In this episode, Dan sits down with Brian Enright, who works as an artist, to discuss his experiences and perspectives as he attempts to create community art.

There is something about the process that feels like it might provide a window into the way each of us might tap into some sense of a collective soul. Where do we look or listen or journey to tap into a sense of soul that is beyond or beneath the individual perspective?

We hope you find the conversation provides some insights as you look a little deeper into the nature of our collective soul body.

-More About Our Guest-

Brian's mission is to create works of art that inspire value and hope for individuals, communities and future generations; educating us about the beneficial impact of working with reclaimed materials.

All of our actions are interconnected and vital to our survival on this planet. Awakening as many people as possible to this reality is, therefore, increasingly important. By utilizing objects that would otherwise be discarded in landfill or forgotten places, he sheds light on the hidden potential of our refuse to literally take on a second life. He seeks to educate through his work on how better product design can and will eventually eliminate the end of lifespan for many man-made objects, an indispensable step in creating a sustainable environment worldwide for generations to come.

Enright and his art clearly demonstrate that simple changes in our thinking can effect positive changes in our culture and environment.

Soul Forum: A conversational journey across the landscape of the collective soul. 

In this series - SoulBody - we explore the wisdom and wonder within our own bodies that can provide a pathway into the experience of soul. The season begins with reflections on the body each of us inhabits and ends with reflections on the wider earth or cosmic body. There is plenty of reasons to trust that any access to a relationship with the divine, or mystery, or the very essence of life, is primarily accessed through the body. Can we reverse the idea that the sacred has figured out how to incarnate, or become flesh and bone, and explore how our sense of the sacred manifests from within every body? How might you honor and explore the body that invites you into wonder?

Welcome to Soul Forum.
