Welcome back to the Evolve Move Play podcast!\n\nIn today\u2019s conversation, Kyle Koch and I delve into the transformative power of embodied movement practices and deep nature connection. As senior coaches and facilitators of Evolve Move Play, we share our journeys from feeling uninspired in the modern world to discovering profound meaning and connection through parkour, natural movement, and ancestral skills.\n\nKyle and I discuss the integral role of physical practices in shaping one's character, and how the reciprocal opening that occurs between self, others, and the environment is fundamental to falling in love with life itself. We explore the limitations of fitness modalities born in isolation from nature, and how the immersive "Ecology of Practices" we've developed invites practitioners into a more holistic and integrated way of being.\n\nWe also tackle some of the challenges facing today's younger generation, from the attention-hijacking algorithms of social media to the scarcity of free play and embodied role models. Kyle and I make a compelling case for getting this work out to more adults, who can then pass it on to the children in their lives, and help restore a more grounded and nourishing way of relating to self and world.\n\nFor anyone yearning for deeper connection and a movement practice that touches the soul, this episode is an inspiring call to step outside the box and embrace our full human potential. \n\nIf you are interested in furthering this journey of discovery and transformation make sure to check out our in-person events kicking off for the 2024 season. \n\nhttps://www.evolvemoveplay.com/weekend-workshops\n\n\nTIMESTAMPS\n00:00 - Kyle's Journey: From IT to Embodiment\n07:05 - Evolving Evolve Move Play: Merging Nature and Movement\n17:37 - Facilitating Connection Through Movement and Dialogue\n30:32 - Movement as a Vehicle for Character Development\n37:42 - Technology's Impact on Human Capacities and Childhood\n47:35 - Cultivating Embodied Play and Falling in Love with Being\n54:15 - Navigating Attention-Hijacking Paradigms\n59:49 - Upcoming Events and Closing Thoughts\n\nEMP | Visit Us Online\n- EMP Website: www.evolvemoveplay.com\n- EMP Substack: evolvemoveplay.substack.com\n- IG: @RafeKelly - www.instagram.com/rafekelley/\n- FB: @RafeKelleyMovement - www.facebook.com/RafeKelleyMovement\n- Twitter: @rafekelley - twitter.com/rafekelley\n- YT Subscribe: www.youtube.com/user/Faelcind?sub_confirmation=1\n- Become a Patron: www.patreon.com/rafekelley\n\nKYLE KOCH\n-IG: @trottingsparrow - https://www.instagram.com/trottingsparrow/
