We embody the wrong Story

The Story Weavers

Is the Third Attractor about stepping out of binaries? A conversation on why we embody the wrong ontologies, assemblage thinking, micro narratives collected as patterns rather than one big story, the honeybee waggle dance, collective trauma research, and discernment about AI.

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.
