Tim, Tuesday and Zaid explore the necro-paradigm (doing terrible things in the name of the greater good) and how this requires the courage to make a shift to imagining something different and valorizing new practices.

Here we go, friends! Tim and Tuesday are back for Season 6 of the podcast. In this season opener, they talk about what they’ve been up this summer, let us in on the series of conversations they are offering up this year, along with some of the incredible people they’re interviewing. Join us for an inspiring new season of spirit at work.

We’re pleased to share “Collaboration in the Spirit of Democracy - A Method to Tackle Complex Challenge.” This book chapter describes collaboration between sectors and organizations as a method for social change, as well as reflections on its possibilities and challenges. The content of the method described in this chapter has been developed through experiences from Forward Malmö, which is a local arena for collaboration, as well as models and materials developed by Sensus' collaboration partner The Outside.

This is the third in a three-part series that Tuesday has written about transformation (revisit Part 1 & Part 2). In hindsight, this could actually have been the first instalment of the series, but that is not how it flowed from her. In fact, she says that it feels like this could only be written at this specific moment in her own transformation.

She reflects on staying in the liminal space of transformation far longer than she anticipated. This extended period has allowed her to uncover and articulate long-held.

For the final episode of Season 5, Tues and Tim chat about the mosaic of this season’s podcast guests who pushed, expanded, and made them think differently. Change is on and we are all adapting, as the circumstances around us shift. Anyone who clings to a simple answer risks getting lost along the way. Tune in for some great reflections and ways to forge forwards in the midst of uncertainty.
