In Episode 40, we are joined by Dr. Kerri Welch who guides us through a conversation about the quantum mechanical concepts of fractals, wave function collapse, and entropy and how they relate to different qualities of time. If you are not interested in exploring the podcast from a scientific perspectives, we would like to encourage you to sense into the stories that we're telling. See what arises for you as you're listening to the back and forth of the discussion. See how we dance with these quantum mechanical concepts as they play with our notions of experience, awareness, and self awareness. Dr. Welch got her degree from California Institute of Integral Studies, and her work considers the philosophy of temporal perception, physics, and time. Kerri continues to teach at CIIS in the Department of Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness and resides much of the year on the Washington State Peninsula. Kerri has an incredible way of explaining quantum mechanical concepts that lets us explore different ways of experiencing time. Especially as we move across different dimensions of scales and different structures of consciousness.…

In Episode 39, we are exploring a really interesting book that Susan found, A Demon Haunted Land: Witches, Wonder Doctors, and the Ghosts of the Past in Post WWII Germany. Written by Dr. Monica Black (Univ Tenn), the book explores the impacts and trauma of the German's WWII defeat on its people. In the podcast, we will explore ways that the trauma expressed itself and how ordinary Germans cope with this trauma. What we found fascinating about Dr. Black's research was the applicability of the German's issues and outcomes in today's tumultuous world. Combined with Carl Jung's essay, After the Catastrophe, we gain insight into our own "moral inferiority" and how transformation requires this deeper understanding before we can begin again anew. At University of Tennessee, Dr. Black is a historian of Modern Europe. As such, she provides us with deep, rich insights into her historical research process, actually providing us with ways to explore the history within our own lives.…
In Episode 38, we are joined by Steve Goyer and Dennis Whittle, a minister and an entrepreneur, who walk regularly, contemplating what is working and not working in today’s religious organizations. We wanted to talk with them about their walks and explore what has arisen from their conversations. As we interviewed them, it was clear that Steve and Dennis were giving us a peek at their own dynamic competence as they wrestled with this question of what a new church might look like for them, both internally and externally. Steve Goyer is the current interim Pastor at Riverside Presbyterian Church in Jax, Fl. He has been a Senior pastor at Presbyterian Churches in Charlotte, NC, Atlanta Ga, and Jacksonville Fl. Steve retired in 2019 and was asked to stay on the interim Paster and is retiring again this year…we’ll see how that goes. We know many of his congregational members and Steve is a beloved figure in the church. His humbleness and devotion to his community, combined with his porousness to new ideas and approaches provides the vessel for a rich connection to the spiritual. Dennis Whittle is a very successful entrepreneur who has spent many years focusing on entrepreneurship for good. He is the founder and president of The Whittle Group and facilitates a number of wide ranging networks that focus on global issues of change to local citizen feedback loops. Steve has worked globally as Economist, including a stint at the world bank and continues to share his knowledge as a visiting lecturer and fellow at top universities and non-profits, like the Center for Global development. A funny story, while we were working on the podcast, Dennis took a week off and sent a photo to us of him sitting with Yo Yo Ma, discussing social entrepreneurism, I perfect way to capture the seriousness and influence of Dennis as well as the fun he has with life.…
Welcome to the Art of Dynamic Competence. I’m Susan Clark. Join me and my brother Thomas May for season four of our podcast as we apply what we have been exploring over the last three seasons. We hope to dive deep into Dynamic Competence and allow it to expand into new ways of living our daily lives. This work is not always easy, but can be truly fulfilling, allowing us to better relate to the situations we find ourselves in and encouraging us to take on the hard work we all need to do. Based on the great feedback we have been getting from our listeners, we’re shifting our format a bit. This season, both Tom and I are inviting you into our prep for these sessions, sharing how we learn from each other, seeing how to bring new felt senses, new insights into our conversations. We have been really exploring the porosity, the openness, of our mental maps, also our left brains, our conceptual world, as we feel into these fluid stories that we are sharing with you. This approach has had a profound impact on both of us over the last years and we now understand how much you are sensing that in your comments to us. So, let’s see what arises!…
In this podcast we are sharing an introduction to the new 3x3 matrix that he is calling "I'm Where?" We have been exploring how Tom has been merging our work in Dynamic Competence, with this wonderful, light way that Jean Gebser’s writings are exploring the worlds that we live in. This podcast came together as an amazing intro to why Tom created this matrix and the impact of Gerber’s writing on this life and work. For all you exploring new ways to live into this world, this is an amazing example of the impact of all this work. As a highly successful Corporate Executive overseeing multiple billions of dollars of assets and thousands of employees, Tom has huge influence over the transitions that our corporations and culture are currently undergoing. Listen to how Tom is exploring new ways of engaging people and his work and how his view of the world and our place in it is changing.…
Welcome back to the next podcast in a series where we are asking the question, “I’m Where?” This week my cohost Tom May takes us on a deeper journey into the matrix that he created, linking metacognitive principles developed by Mary May (Instinctual, Intentional, and Integral). With three of Geber’s structures of consciousness., Magic, Mythic, and Mental. If you want a visional aid, go to our website at dynamiccompetence.com and look under podcasts 34 or 35. You can also download a copy there.…
In Episode 34, we’re doing something a little different. From the last sessions, Tom May has pulled together a matrix that he is now using in his work and life. We thought that we might share it with you and see how you might refine it with us. Tom was inspired to combine the original metacognitive work by our mother Mary May with the new work that I have been doing with Jeremy Johnson on Jean Gebser’s book, Ever Present Origin . You can download Tom’s matrix from our website at dynamic competence.com under Season 3 podcasts, Session 34 if you want to look at it. Think of a box with 3 columns and 3 rows. At the top of the columns three of Gebser’s structures of consciousness, Magic, Mythic, and Mental are listed. At the end of the rows three metacognitive perspectives, Instinctive, Intentional, and Integral are arranged top to bottom. For this podcast, Tom is presenting these structures of consciousness and perspectives from the unique way that he processes this information. Of course, this is only one way of looking at it. Next time, we will dive deeper into what is inside of this matrix. Take a listen and see what you get from it.…
In this episode, we’re talking with Fred Sigman. Fred is an acclaimed photographer who also worked with Will Roger on his Handbook for a Burning Age and contributed several essays to the book. Fred currently resides in Cambodia teaching remotely, hosting tours, and writing a book on Angkor Wat the largest temple structure in the world. I recorded a long interview with Fred that ranged from Asian religious history, core understandings about photography and the focus of his work, as well as other personal experiences. If you are interested in more information, we will provide links to the rather impressive range of his work from our website. For this podcast, we narrowed down the discussion I had with Fred to emphasize our current exploration of what we call “integral” or “spiritual”, or the integration of multiple perspectives, especially our latent understandings of magic and mythic with our predominate mental structure of today. What Fred allows us to talk about is how the huge historical context of Angkor Wat might relate to the integral and spiritual in our everyday lives.…
In Part 2 of Will's Podcast. As I have alluded to, I am working a lot in understanding how deeper, latent knowledge that we have (magic and mythic) can help us function from a more integrated whole. In a class that I am hosting, we are exploring how our magic and mythic perspectives/cultural structures dance with our mental conceptual world to create this integral understanding and being. Many philosophers, religions, and practices incorporate aspects of this dance, but Jean Gebser drives right to it. He states that there are four differentiated cultural structures, magic, mythic, mental, and integral. We live in the magic, you experience the mythic, and each of us creates our own conceptual understanding in the mental. And the integral is the efficient interweaving, backleaping, blending, oscillation, etc. between these structures/perspectives. Gebser, along with many other thinkers and writers, then states that our current over emphasis on the power of the mental to structure our lives and solve our problems is deficient and failing us. It is this integral approach that will help us reimagine our world and help us move through this pinch point, over this threshold, and better survive and thrive in the coming times. In Will's second part of his podcast, we can tease out those magic and mythic elements that are so important in waking up to new ways of seeing the world and ourselves in it.…
Will Roger Peterson is a co-founder of Burning Man and current is a Senior Advisor to the Fly Ranch Project. His life journey has been to understand this thing we call "integral; a way of being in the world that integrates multiple perspectives and frees us up to be, as Will says, "who we really are." We were introduced to some of the basic concepts that Will lives by in Episode 9. In Part 1 of this current podcast, we return to our conversations with Will to talk about some images and thoughts he presents in his new "Handbook." Ways of being that can help us live in what Will calls, "this Burning Age."…

Art of Dynamic Competence: Creating Success in Changing Times
We are joined today by Michael Hogan. Michael originally joined us way back in Episode 5 of our podcast. We asked Michael back for several reasons. With all the fires in the Western US, a lot of money is being invested in post-fire work and a lot of folks are needed to help with the clean up and restoration efforts. These folks often have varying degrees of understanding and ability to implement methods that can have a positive impact on forest health as we move forward. Michael has also been the go-to guy for difficult and challenging restoration projects in the Western US. Michael's approach is not a formula, but rather a way of being that integrates the best scientific knowledge with the uniqueness of a oven location. His approach can really inform us regarding the integral elements of Dynamic Competence. An finally, now that Michael is mostly retired, our goal is to get him to really reflect on his incredible career, pulling our aspects that can help us get to effective long term goals for our forest health and gain insight in his integral perspectives.…

Jayla Huseyn and Chris Roberson come from diverse backgrounds. Jayla is Middle Eastern and Chris is an African American who originally hailed from Chicago. They both received their Bachelors of Architecture at University of Houston and are currently employed at substantial architectural firms in Huston. As you will hear in the podcast, DEI can become a heavily charged initiative within companies, fraught with a lack of understanding about DEI, its purpose, and even a lack of real desired outcomes. DEI conversations can make us very uncomfortable and even threatened. But from a Dynamic Competence lens, there are ways that we can engage DEI that is more inclusive and allows us to address more deeply questions of equity and inclusion. In the podcast, we will explore the techniques and tools that Chris and Jayla are exploring and testing in real time as well as new ways framing the issue.…

Deborah Jean Nielsen Honoring the Child 3/2/2222 Susan Clark: [00:00:00] Well, welcome, Deborah, to the Art of Dynamic Competence. Deborah Nielsen: [00:00:03] Thank you, Susan. So glad to be here with you. Susan Clark: [00:00:06] It's great having you. We chose as a topic today to really talk about Self. I'd like to start out by having you explore why it is that we're talking about Self on this podcast called The Art of Dynamic Competence. Deborah Nielsen: [00:00:20] That's that's a good place to start, because from my perspective, it's not Self in the sense of let's be self centered, it's Self in the sense of what is our idea of what a Self is. The way I'm thinking about is from the inside out, right, looking at what is our core Self, what is that which drives us gives us a perspective of how to see the world, how to become more dynamically competent by grounding into really our core self more; so that gives you some idea. Susan Clark: [00:01:02] Great. And so as we get into this, I'd like for you to explore a little bit for our listeners. What are these aspects of Self that you feel are so critical that we're looking, we're going to explore today? Deborah Nielsen: [00:01:16] I think of it as the three key Self aspects, and they are universal. They are absolute. It is the adult, the child and the wise self. The adult is what is the operative daily Self who has the ability to choose actions, words, direction, path. Susan Clark: [00:01:43] Would you call that the more rational one? Deborah Nielsen: [00:01:45] Well, yes, but not only rational but absolutely rational is an important part. Yes. So the adult has the ability to make a rational decision about, OK, what is my course of action? Absolutely. Where the child might be smart, but not necessarily rational. Susan Clark: [00:02:06] So tell me a little bit about the wise one. Deborah Nielsen: [00:02:08] The wise one is intuition, moral compass, sense of just knowing without being able to explain exactly why I know. And it's also the bigger vision, the bigger picture. And so when we are stressed, sometimes in my experience, I've had that sense of, oh my gosh, it's like tunnel vision here. When we open up and can access the wisdom, there's a much bigger picture. We can see the broader vision of not only our own impact in our life, but how we're impacting others and how they're impacting us and what our sense of purpose can be, for example. Susan Clark: [00:02:54] Well, what is the role of this child, this little one? Connection, maybe to the wise one or going beyond our normal, rational functioning? What's the importance of this child? Deborah Nielsen: [00:03:07] The child Self has natural, beautiful, essential qualities, for example, the ability to just bond to build trust. That is what I believe. We're just born with ability to connect and trust. Unquestionably, then the child has wonder, or which is just like, Wow, Oh, Look at this tree, look at these leaves, look at this flower. It's just like everything's amazing. That opens up to a different kind of learning. And then also spontaneity, being able to just be in the flow. Mm hmm. Some days, of course, we're going to have crunchy, stressful days. But when we're in a flow, that's where what the child can easily access. So the child part of us can help us get into the flow. The child part of us can help us learn in a more holistic way. The child self can help us be creative. Susan Clark: [00:04:20] Well, does the child self then help us become more operational as adults? Deborah Nielsen: [00:04:26] Absolutely. And part of why the little self helps us to become more operational is…

Steve received his Doctorate at the Union Theology Seminary in Virginia and was the Minister of a Church in Jacksonville Florida. Although he is officially retired as a Pastor, Steve continues to do incredible work as a spiritual and grief coach to individuals and families. After our interview, I can see why. As Steve and I talked, it became clear that the gratitude with which he lives in his life, is both hard won and at the same time, critical to his ability to help others find that place of gratitude in themselves. One of my questions to Steve was, given the world that we live in, and the reduced interest in organized religion, what kind of church and ministry does he think we need in order to begin to move beyond the angst, anxiety, and hatred that swirls around us every day.…

From their website, Indivisible is a nonpartisan, volunteer organization focused on advancing humanitarian values through applying consistent, informed and ongoing pressure, primarily on our members of Congress. Under the umbrella of the Northern Nevada Chapter if Indivisible, Chip and Laynette developed a new project known as the Issue Voters Project , to encourage like-minded voters who are neither registered Democrats nor Republicans. What is amazing is that this non-party block of voters is gaining voters faster than either of the two major parties. Over the last 2 election cycles, the Issue Voters Project has had phenomenal results, and is now being promoted nationally by Indivisible.

In this episode, we are visiting with Elizabeth Monoian and Robert Ferry, founders of the non-profit Land Art Generator Initiative, also known by LAGi. LAGi was started in 2008 and has rapidly grown to become an international player in the conversations and solutions around our current transition to post-carbon economies. The Land Art Generator’s goal is to accelerate the transition of energy landscape from traditional carbon-based fuels to renewables. The LAGI mission is to build new energy infrastructure that adds value to public spaces in ways that inspire and educate, all while providing equitable power to homes around the world. Elizabeth and Robert are very clear that this transition, has been, and will continue to be incredibly challenging for a wide range of reasons, including the scale of the infrastructure changes that are needed as well as the visual impacts on the landscape of these changes. To accelerate this transition, we need to rethink the development process for renewable energy projects, so the built outcomes are a reflection of the culture and places within which they are located. To this end, LAGi’s has focused on holding international design competitions that are linked to multigenerational, community-based education and art. Their approach is to build a bridge between communities, their existing policies, and renewable energy developers to accelerate the implementation process. Their projects span from the initial 2010 launch in Abu Dhabi, to Copenhagen, Denmark, and Melbourne Australia. US projects include New York City’s Freshkills Park, in partnership with Parks and Recreation, Santa Monica, CA, in partnership with the City, and the Black Rock Desert of Northern Nevada, in partnership with Burning Man Project. LAGI’s process focuses on community co-creation as a means to directly address social justice issues in our communities as a means to accelerate the adoption and implementation of renewable energy projects. In each step, they fully engage community members, empowering them as decision makers and project ambassadors. With a wide range of age levels, they weave together technology education with art, what is now known as STEAM education. In addition to corporate support, LAGi has also received a National Endowment of the Arts grant and has won an Innovation Prize from the JM Kapland Fund. Most recently, they completed a design competition with the Burning Man Project for 10 iconic prototypes to be built at Fly Ranch as part of a long-term, sustainable community.…
