It would only be fitting that our dear Steve Brophy is officially the 7th episode of the new How to be Human Podcast. And, as I learned last month just weeks before chatting with Steve, we both were born on March 7th as well. Such a treat to celebrate our birthdays in tandem, through the curiosities of Hedge School, blossoming into what you're seeing now.
Steve is the creator of Hedge School a newsletter dedicated to reimagining learnedness. Hedge School is the original publication home of the How to be Human Series.
A self termed listener and re-story-er, Steve shares his delectable insights with all those tuning in for the treats glimmering from his soul. He has an uncanny way of delivering the definition of words you've never heard before and using them in ways you may not have imagined. And Steve is tenderly as David White says, "Writing the one line in the book of the world that only (he) can write."
Steve also just released his first book Alight in the Lament which features the telling of his own process of grief interwoven with beautiful poetry. He says, "It is about finding through grief hope and light and a way forward through the darkness."
In this episode we explore:
-Signature Sounds
-The reciprocity of writer/reader, speaker/listener
-The evolution of curiosity
-Alight in the Lament
-Speaking alive stories
-Being a member of the sh*t club
-Poetry as a collective language experience
-Finding our voice
-Humans weaving on the sentient level
-Perturbation
-You at your original source and finding our way back to that
-Honoring the source material
-Allowing ourselves to be swallowed by big nature
-Creating conditions for engagement (aka boundaries)
And more!
