Bettina Wichers

How Elders shape tomorrow

The Inner Workers

What can elders contribute to the Third Attractor? We explore conscious aging as a move from personal to transpersonal identity, shadow work in later life, a contested view of dementia as unguided dissolution of the self, and surrender versus agency.

About this conversation

Can we learn to lean toward difference instead of away from it?

In this conversation, Zen teacher and mediator Diane Musho Hamilton shares what years of conflict work have taught her about the nervous system, and about holding polarities long enough for something new to appear.

We talk about communities of practice, how groups can choose among different decision models, and how to hold uncertainty while staying responsive. Diane also speaks about integral education, shared values, the stories we live by, and the role of AI.

A warm and practical conversation about meeting difference with curiosity rather than fear.
