October 2023 - Playing with Paradox

Monthly Context:  

This month, we are expanding our ability to Live Out Loud in every area of life through a playful exploration of paradox. Paradoxes are a natural part of life. The more that we can embrace this truth, the more we can find solutions to the major problems we are facing in our individual lives, our communities, and the world. We will explore what it means to use Janusian thinking and develop a paradox mindset; how to use our curiosity and vulnerability to get comfortable outside of our comfort zone; and find that the opposite of an Absolute Truth is not a falsehood, but rather another Absolute Truth.
