Ethics, Leadership & Commitment- Reflections

This is the companion Reflection transmission for the conversation we had with Matan Levkowich. It would make the most sense to first listen to that episode here: https://anchor.fm/baseworks/episodes/Ethics--Leadership--Commitment--Matan-Levkowich-e1bgm04

This reflection highlights the relevance of sharing, ethics, and the intention that goes into a practice or pursuit of life goals.

As a recap, in the Ethics, Leadership & Commitment conversation Patrick Oancia chatted with Matan about his dedication to–and brief hiatus from- his podcast, ethics in leading, life in the Israel army, and thereafter transitioning from a dedicated meditation practitioner living in celibacy to be relentlessly coaxed back into the world by erotic desires that surfaced from intense meditation practice, and how all these things tied into commitment and personal realizations.

Baseworks Transmission

These Baseworks Transmission conversations look at both the concrete and abstract realizations that emerge from a commitment to any kind of practice or pursuit to achieve life goals. The ideas get unpacked from their subjectivity, and the outcome of each transmission sets out to discover critical feature patterns and construct common recognition categories of physical and introspective experiences.

On Playing, Training & Challenge: Yuval Ayalon

In this conversation Patrick Oancia chats with Yuval about his transition from being a kid swinging on trees, right through to being a competitive gymnast, performance artist and finally ending up a globally renowned teacher of hand balances.
There's a lot of ground covered that relates to how to commit to a practice, the approach and attitude that one would take towards stress in competition and thereafter, trying to understand how to fit all these pieces into a type of life which can be fulfilling and positive.
