Pause: for music
Self replenishment, a little fun and reflective conversation?!
This post, by Hilary Bradbury, is from the Action Research AMICABLE coLAB
coLABs
Action research coLABs (short for coLABoratorship) are workshops to unite thinking and doing.
Hosted and created by Action Research plus, Hilary Bradbury and others these coLABs:
foster friendly, person-centered spaces as dynamos of good Action oriented Research for Transformation (ART) in different domains, from education to healthcare, to sustainable organizing. Co-labs invite participants to work within the collaborative spirit of action research with special attention to cultivating the conditions in which collaboration—self and community—can happen.
The post below is by Hilary Bradbury on our recent Amicables session.

We’re sharing a little from our latest Amicables coLAB. In it a group of ARTists had a wonderful time sharing and discussing the power of music. Consider it music for a pause. There’s also a podcast that brings deeper insight to the experience of music as we learn – and teach – through it.

Reflecting on the power of music with Grammy awardee Allison Russell. The Ezra Klein Show
What is it about music that enables it to work so powerfully on our bodies, minds and emotions? That is one of the core animating questions of this conversation with Allison Russell. Russell is a Grammy-nominated singer and songwriter whose debut album, “Outside Child,” was named one of the best albums of 2021.
Alongside powerhouse vocals and gorgeous melodies, Russell infuses a deep scholarly curiosity into her songs — not just about the nature and power of music, but also what it can teach listeners about our world.

We belong to and are of the Earth but we bypass our sense of belonging. I missed this leaving home and my story mirrors our larger, human-wide journey. What do I need to come home?
Soulprint: Peak nature
Extraordinary: a paradigm shift by 147 governments and the UN endorsing “humans and nature are spiritually connected.” Invitation: to build on this for yourself and all of us.
We are in a portal
I’ve a deep knowing: we humans have shifted. That’s disorienting so here’s 3 handrails to help: this is sourced in bliss; lubricated by peak oil; agreed by UN & 147 nations; and, all with dragonflies!
