Leadership at the Spiritual Edge with Lynn Horan

The Edge of Everyday with Sandra Bargman

Todays episode is one of my favorites!

Today we are #LIVEintheHIVE with author, Interfaith theologian, and dancer, Lynn Horan for a compelling conversation about the edges between spirituality and leadership, the edges between the wisdom of the body and that of the intellect - and - we will dive into her work on embodied social change in her contributing chapter, ACTIVISM, PERFORMANCE, and SPIRITUAL RITUAL in the newly released book, LEADERSHIP AT THE SPIRITUAL EDGE, Edited By Mohammed Raei, Stacey K. Guenther, Lisa A. Berkley and published by Routledge.

In this episode, we touch on...

• Lynn’s search for wholeness through her own embrace of her complex, paradoxical identities.
• Lynn shares about going to Peru and witnessing an ACTO SYMBOLICO, an ancient tradition of weaving ritual, performance, and social activism.
• What is Embodied Leadership + Social Change? Both trauma and white supremacy live in the body.
• Lynn shares her understanding on the Spiritual Edge we face today.
• How leaving her church/ministry informed her doctoral work - and her life.
• Discovering + utilizing the power of ritual - that began with dance and now informs her somatic work. What is the Mother Wound? And the demystification of this patriarchal relational dynamic.
• All this and SO much more...
