0:00.0	Welcome to bewildered. I'm Martha Beck here with Rowan Mangan. At this crazy moment in history,
0:09.2	a lot of people are feeling bewildered, but that actually may be a sign we're on track.
0:14.4	Human culture teaches us to come to consensus, but nature, our own true nature, helps us come
0:20.7	to our senses. Rowan and I believe that the best way to figure it all out is by going through
0:26.2	a wilderness into bewildered. That's why we're here. You know, what I'm seeing out in the world
0:33.6	is a lot of fear and a growing amount of despair. Maybe you're feeling that way too, because the ways
0:41.7	our culture has taught us to navigate the world, to navigate our lives, they are failing us.
0:48.6	We need a new language. We need a new set of tools to find our way individually and as a group.
0:55.3	And I know we can still do this. I put everything I do know about it into wayfinder life coach training
1:02.1	and the tools that I teach there are to help people redefine how we relate to each other,

1:14.7	how we think. Registration is open for the fall and the world needs wayfinders now more than ever.

1:43.3	coming to terms with the fact that I have cited before that our child appears to have had a
1:49.6	Greek god as a sperm donor. The other day I put her down for her nap and she was so sweet and
1:57.0	we'd take it almost everything out of the room so that she could not climb upon it and dismantle
2:01.1	furniture. And she was so sweet and loving and I said now go to sleep honey, I love you and she
2:07.6	said I love you too. And then she said don't take that box. Sure enough, she used a diaper box to
2:18.1	just perform diabolical feats of destruction. I sent you guys a text at one point that just said
2:23.6	it's like a crow. It can use tools. How are you? Given all that. Oh gosh, you know, it's fun.
