044 Practical Philosophy and slowing down, with Ayisha De Lanerolle
11/22/22 • 49 min
I've been wanting to chat to Ayisha on the podcast for ages because I love her work around practical philosophy.
Ayisha founded The Conversation Agency to empower people of all ages through creative, dynamic and collaborative conversation. She designs and facilitates conversations that slow us down to allow room for curiosity about different & diverse perspectives, and is interested in the potential of philosophical conversation to transform our relationships to ideas and toward each other, especially in moments of uncertainty, confusion and even conflict.
We talk about practical philosophy, not fitting in, what's possible, what's not, certainty, what can we do for the future and the people there. We discuss how we need to really listen to young people and we both notice that we need to share more of what gives us inspiration, hope and energy to bring about what we want for the world.
