“Every group and every single gathering is an opportunity to remake and re-story culture.” - Al JefferyMy guest today is Al Jeffery, an integrative psychotherapist, meditation guide and regenerative leadership practitioner. He is also a conscious explorer of queerness and masculinity. In this episode, Al shares his journey, unlocking the potential and power of queerness as an aspirational approach to love. He speaks of queerness as identity and as orientation, and how it intersects with living fully in oneself. We also touch upon what it means to create inclusive spaces for men to explore these topics, as well as the complexity of lust and attraction.  And finally, we explore how each moment carries the possibility of remaking a culture of possibility and the inherent risk in leaning into the mystery of being.LINKS* Al's Official Website* Al's Instagram* Cornerstone Melbourne* Al's paper on Eros, The Evolution of Life and Mind, and Moving From Psychology Toward Soul-MakingSHOW NOTES- **Concept of queerness**: An extensive exploration of "Queerness" in the context of identity, understood from both philosophical and socio-political standpoints. - **Implicit transgressions and societal norms**: This topic investigates how "implicit transgressions" lead to the feelings of non-inclusion and marginalization within society.- **Al Jeffery's complex personal relationship with the identity of 'queer'**; functioning as both an attraction and a defense mechanism.- **Masculinity and societal expectations**: Discussion revolves around masculine societal norms, and the confusion that can result from a perceived need to strike a balance between strength and sensitivity. - **Relationships and sexual attraction in the face of societal expectations**: A review of how societal norms and expectations can complicate the navigation of relationships and sexual attraction.- **Queerness as a 'spiritual bypass'**: Al comments on the potential for queerness to be used as a spiritual bypass, avoiding confronting the vulnerability required when claiming gay identity. - **Queer Inquiry**: The aspect of living as a question is discussed in reference to being queer, asserting the need for a persistent state of exploration and uncertainty clouding one's identity.- **The role of eroticism and sensuality in sexuality exploration**: An insightful look into how eroticism and sensuality contribute to an individual's understanding of their own sexuality under the banner of queerness and how cultural norms impact this exploration.- **The impact of a lack of cultural distinctions**: This segment reviews how culture's lack of distinction - such as between the concepts of sensuality and sexuality, contributes to confusion and indirectness concerning male sexuality.- **Al's ongoing exploration of queerness**: The intrigues of Al Jeffery's ongoing exploration are highlighted as he questions his own identity labeling phenomenon, moving further into understanding himself and societal norms.

"So I would just invite everyone to, and it's different for everybody, but to consider our own personal relationships and what leadership looks like in those relationships. And to broaden the concept of leadership, which is something that we've spoken about a lot, beyond the title of someone with a certain stature or status. And to see leadership as a form of stewarding relationships to people in place every single day and that's something that we all are part of". Join Al Jeffery and Menzies Foundation CEO, Liz Gillies as they explore purpose and leadership in what is an increasingly complex, polarized, tribal and challenging world. Al Jeffery is an internationally renowned community-designer, group-facilitator, author and leadership expert in service to our hyperconnected-yet-deeply-fragmented world. As Co-Founder and Director at The Base Between (formerly Base Commons), Al explores the themes of disconnection prevalent today, designs and facilitates spaces for re-connection in communities, leadership and the lives of individuals. With his creative career starting at just 12 years old, Al has been listed in Australia's Top 30 Entrepreneurs Under 30 twice in a row and nominated for Young Australian of the Year.

LIAF 111: “Queer is Questioning” From The Spaces Between Podcast with Al Jeffery What does it mean to call yourself queer? Today on Life is a Festival, I'm honored to share an interview I did on Al Jeffery's brilliant show, “The Spaces Between,” discussing queerness as a form of radical curiosity. We open with a comparison of vulnerability and openness, and how to use embodiment to support good mental health. We discuss what it means to “queer” something and how psychedelics and identity-expanding practices are in and of themselves queer. We talk about temperament, attachment style, character and identity and how you can release your own personal mythology by getting down to basic physiology. We close with learning to love the questions themselves, which in our binary culture can be the most difficult love, and yet the most rewarding. Al is a facilitator, community-designer, Top 30 Under 30 entrepreneur, keynote speaker, author and leadership virtuoso. He is dedicated to understanding disconnection and restoring connection in our lives, leadership and communities. Al hosts the Spaces Between Podcast, an open-inquiry into restoring community in the 21st Century, which I highly recommend.

In this episode, I read my most recent essay on “Eros, the Evolution of Life and Mind, and Moving from Psychology Toward Soul-Making.” This paper explores Eros (in it's mythological and evolutionary sense) as a guiding organisational principle of life and invites us to tend to our connection to Eros as a partner in our renewal and re-engendering of relationship. Drawing on evolutionary biology, integral theory, attachment theory, theories of mind, developmental moral imagination, and more, I attempt to show how an Eros-(re)infused way of seeing and being might afford us great energy and direction in this time of fragmentation. Dive in, come to understand, and feel Eros in a renewed way. Let it animate your life and leadership. You can also download the paper here. --Show-notes and links hereConnect with Al on InstagramConnect with Al on FacebookMusic by RhoneSupport the show (https://aljeffery.com/podcast/)

Al and I explore what it means to live in relationship to the WHOLE again. Al is curious about how can we expand our minds and hearts to encompass all of who we are, and all of what is. How do we reweave a culture and a society that is restorative and regenerative. We explore the personal technologies (inner work) and social technologies (inter-personal skills) that supports this larger philosophy. We also explore the importance of re-inhabiting the body and how movement can play an important role in trauma release. We speak about relearning and remembering healthy ways to be with our emotions and so much more. This is a juicy one!

This episode I’m talking to the founders of co-living startup Base, Al Jeffrey who’s 21, and Simon Harman who’s only 19 years. These two are in the process of acquiring a space in Melbourne that 16 carefully selected young people who are entrepreneurially minded and want to change the world for the better will inhabit, help build and pay to live in. While it may sound like a share house, the boys insist it’s something more. So, in this interview you’ll hear me try to weed through the buzzwords and get to the nuts and bolts of how Base works, why it needs to exist, and most importantly, how it can distinguish itself from just being another entrepreneurial wank job.
