In this episode 5 chapters
- A Springboard, Not a Wound
Miriam describes an integral approach that takes the best from every parenting school and asks how childhood can become a springboard for awakening.
- Practice and Perspective
Miriam goes through the course's first two weeks: steady, self-forgiving practice that builds on the peak states of new parenthood, and knowing where you're coming from in any moment.
- Healing the Lineage Forward
Parents sort through the patterns and trauma they inherited, which lets them change generational habits in everyday moments with their kids.
- The Yes Beneath the No
Miriam says to put the relationship first and to be in charge without pretending to be in control.
- Watching the Garden Grow
Miriam invites parents to watch their children unfold in 'observant adoration,' and Corey describes his daughter's slow-motion 'cosmic address.' The conversation closes on the paradoxes of parenting…
Our dear friend Miriam Mason Martineau joins us to explore the exceptionally rich topic of integral parenting.
It’s hard to imagine a more important, more meaningful, or more immediately fulfilling application of integral thought and practice than this one. Miriam’s web course, Parenting as a Spiritual Practice, offers a direct path to the deepest heart of integral parenting — a conscious path of Waking Up, Growing Up, Cleaning Up, and Showing Up, both for yourself and for your child. Watch as Miriam illuminates this path for all of us, helping you raise your own family with unyielding wisdom, grace, skill, and compassion.
