Hey everybody, this is Prentice and welcome back to becoming the people.

For those who have not been on this podcast journey with us, we started this podcast

or the first iteration in 2020 called Finding Our Way.

And we started that podcast because

we wanted to accompany people through a really isolating and destabilizing time in convened

conversations with incredible writers, thinkers, organizers that were dreaming up what the world could be, kind of looking

around the corner of this world and imagining the way we could be with each other, imagining

the way society could be.

And we morphed this podcast into becoming the people a few years back because we wanted to hold central this question

of how do we become the people that can really show up for this time? That's really the key

question. And I don't have the answer is an answer that we are through our conversations,

through our practice together, we're trying to figure out.

But I don't think one person has those answers.

So we're in conversation and community with each other to figure out how do we actually do what we need to do?

How do we grow up?

How do we make connections?

This is still a time of not only isolation and destabilization.

It's a time of polarization. It's a time of enemy making and a time of destruction.

It's a time of tearing people apart and tearing people away from each other in their homes.

And at the same time, a lot of us have forgotten how to feel, how to really feel,

how to be present, how to reach for each other.

These are big questions of this moment.
