We talk about Jeri’s lifelong pursuit of presence in her life and throughout  the conversation we return to the question of what it means to be present, to really be open to and fully inhabit the our human experience. We talk about nervous system regulation, what it is and all of the things that social media gets wrong about it. About how what happened in the past can get lodged in us, conditioning our experience of the present. How can we shift these old patterns to open ourselves up to experiencing something new and thereby enabling us to make different choices based on what we desire and who we are. So we talk about opening up space for choice and agency within ourselves but also, on the other hand,  about surrendering to everything we cannot control, which is most things, as Jeri says. How, through non-doing rather than doing, we can create space and capacity within ourselves to not only tolerate the stress of life but also to experience our lives and to allow novelty and unexpectedness and vitality. The relief and the magic of letting go. We talk about posture and about how the way in which we move in our bodies determine the ways in which we show up in the world. We talk about the profound power of rest, and also what rest actually looks like. And how all of this relates to creativity.
