We are so often afraid of our own aliveness that we'll cover it up with an image, a role, or an identity that's been handed to us by others. But what possibilities for encounter with life and with one another are born when we cross the thin divide between 'image' and 'realness'? A conversation about not turning away with Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.

Here’s Episode 84 of Turning Towards Life, a weekly live 30 minute conversation hosted by Thirdspace in which Justin Wise and Lizzie Winn dive deep into big questions of human living.

In this conversation we explore the call of our own wildness, that of ourselves that we so often cover up for the sake of fitting in with an image or identity we've been handed by our culture.

We talk about the difference between being honest about our own experience rather than being attached to our own version of 'truth', and how honesty and openness can bring us into compassionate and direct encounter with the aliveness and wonder of other people. And we explore how it's possible to turn just about anything in our lives into a way of keeping far from ourselves, including the very project of being real. It's a conversation about encountering life, and about returning home.
