The Dance Between Flow and Structure

Chris and Joanna riff: The dance between flow and structure, between openness and commitment between the receptive energy we often call feminine, and the directional energy we often call masculine, the capacity to feel and yield and the capacity to hold, to follow through. We also touched on boundaries, status, society, truth, even how humanity itself might be evolving towards a better world. We didn't expect it to go into this direction, but we’re happy it did. 2.5h of conversation condensed into 20 minutes.
