A conversation series with Youth Alliance
We often feel Youth Alliance to be a network of ever-evolving conversations into the nature of being and doing. The search for truth emergent in the here and now blossoms when we hold space for inquiry. For us, practice of learning is deeply intertwined with practice of being in relationships. And often we have found when there's mutual respect and honesty in relationships - new insights arise. The world is named into existence.
With such possibilities of emergence, with a mutual-heart full of gratitude and delight, we bring to you - Praxis of Living, a conversation series by Youth Alliance. Praxis is a word of greek origin which represents the intersection of reflection and action, often defined as "action upon the world in order to transform it".
In the first conversation of the series, we explore dimensions of the human experience with our long time mentor, Sadanand Ward Maillard (SN). With humorous stories, nuanced ideas and insights arising from deep life-long practice, SN explores the ecology of the mind. What is remarkable is that SN invokes so many people who he learnt with. It is truly radiant to be with someone who has flexibility of the mind and is curious to learn. Such has been our journey with him over the last decade. Don’t miss SN’s wish and blessings for young people at the end. You’d certainly be reminded of the practice if you have sat in a Samvaad with us over the last decade. If you are a first timer, be ready to be touched with several evocative tools for reflection on your own process.
