In this playful episode of the Playful Humans podcast, I had the pleasure of chatting with Peter Williamson, a professional golfer turned game genius. We explored the power of play, using games to engage communities, fundraise, and maintain a sense of fun in sports. We also discussed the different types of games and work, their applications, and the importance of understanding these distinctions when designing games. From experiential learning benefits to creating a playful workplace, we dove into the various ways games can foster engagement, promote learning, and create memorable experiences in various settings. Find Peter Williamson at https://www.gamegenius.org/Chapters:(0:07:39) - The Power of Games and Play(0:12:39) - Experiential Learning Benefits(0:20:49) - Benefits of Playful WorkplaceChapter Summaries:(0:07:39) - The Power of Games and Play (5 Minutes)We explore the different types of games and work, delving into their various applications and how they can be used to engage different audiences.

Experiential learning, which games provide, allows for better retention of knowledge and fosters engagement. By utilizing games to tell stories and convey the importance of certain issues, people are more likely to get involved and support causes. Incorporating elements of play into events can create memorable experiences, leading to increased support for nonprofits. While it's crucial to be respectful, even difficult topics can be approached with play in a way that celebrates the impact an organization is making.(0:20:49) - Benefits of Playful Workplace (11 Minutes)In this chapter, we discuss the importance of integrating moments of enjoyment throughout the day to improve workplace satisfaction and overall well-being.

Perhaps you've wondered about the pedagogies that give these social practices their durability. And whether you've been to the country or not you might have seen news reports showing prime ministers and army generals prostrate in front of members of the royal family, and have wondered how almost a century after the demise of the absolute monarchy deference to sovereign power is so resolutely performed.

In her book, The Rage of Innocence, Kris weaves together powerful narratives and persuasive data. She explores the criminalization of normal adolescence and makes a compelling case that racial disparities in the juvenile and criminal legal systems are rooted in America's unfounded, and sometimes intentionally manufactured, fears of youth of color.

Can we still love the work of Hemingway, Polanski, Naipaul, Miles Davis, or Picasso? Should we love it? In this unflinching, deeply personal book that expands on her instantly viral Paris Review essay, “What Do We Do with the Art of Monstrous Men?” Claire Dederer asks: Does genius deserve special dispensation? Is male monstrosity the same as female monstrosity? Does art have a mandate to depict the darker elements of the psyche? And what happens if the artist stares too long into the abyss? She explores the audience's relationship with complicated artists, asking: How do we balance our undeniable sense of moral outrage with our equally undeniable love of the work? In a more troubling vein, she wonders if an artist needs to be a monster to create something great. And if an artist is also a mother, does one identity inexorably, and fatally, interrupt the other? Highly topical, morally wise, honest to the core, Monsters is certain to incite a conversation about whether and how we can separate artists from their art.

You deserve the best.Never feel unworthy or     not justified in having the best.I tell you, this is your heritage;but, you have to accept it.You have to expect it; you have to claim it.To do so is not demanding too much. These powerful words come from Swami Brahmananda Saraswati, better known as Guru Deva, the master of our tradition from which Vedic Meditation comes. This is one of his most quoted phrases, but also, in the current climate of “manifest your dreams” gurus, it one of his most misunderstood. What does it mean to deserve the best? What is the best? Are some more worthy of the best than others? In this episode, Isabel and Kristen go line by line to unpack the hidden meaning behind the words. They unravel some of the misconceptions around the phrase “deserving power” or punya and reveal how the best is in reach of everyone.  Episode Notes:2.46 Deserving Power“Your deserving power is to what extent are you aware of your own true identity.” Kristen3.20 Punya 5.25 “What is the best? The best is a state of consciousness.” Kristen11.00 Expectations“We expect what we are used to. This is where meditation comes in. Because when we start meditating, and innocently let our awareness go to that layer, that consciousness state comes spontaneously from that, so we start living the best and then the expectation for the best comes from the fact that we already have it.” Kristen12.30 Support of Nature – the support of yourself16.00 Releasing attachments to specific outcomes and timings18.00 Self-doubt and suffering20.30 Who are you?“If your concept of self is little you you´re are going to struggle with this, but if you are the universe, if that is your status there is no hesitance with that at all.” Kristen25.35 Having the best and not feeling the best. 26.00 Projectors of our state of consciousness29.00 Millionaires and happiness33.00 Claiming the best“To me the claiming is easier when I think of myself as a servant (of the universe).” Kristen33.45 Heritage“Heritage implies this is what youve had before. This is your heritage because, at a certain layer, you are already here, you already have it, you are already living it.” Kristen34.55 Heritage – Inheritance – it´s coming your way. 36.00 Acceptance  “To the extent you perceive everything as a gift, you accept everything. There is no rejecting of what is, this is where suffering comes.” Kristen39.00 Suka Deva story43.00 Self-doubt in the feminine consciousness 45.00 Joy is the baseline 46.00 Moving to the best47.00 Pride in misery 53.00 Acting when there is a better deal54.00 “You get what you expect, and you get what you accept.” Kristen55.00 Hanuman 56.00 “Ask yourself to what degree does this feel frictionless inside.” Kristen58.00 Exploring what the best is for you 

Are meditation and yoga offered to prisoners merely to have them acquiesce to being incarcerated and degraded? Or can they help prisoners interrogate the political and social structures that incarcerate and degrade?  In Freedom Inside? Yoga and Meditation in the Carceral State (Oxford University Press, 2022), Farah Godrej explores the tension between narratives of quiet contemplation and social or political liberation in meditative and yogic practice that the carceral condition exacerbates or exposes. Godrej resists the impulse to treat personal wellbeing and systemic critique as if they are in a binary relationship. By leveraging her own knowledge of yogic philosophy and practice of yoga, and drawing on Gandhian political theory, she offers an account of how incarcerated people in the United States can and do sometimes practice meditation or yoga subversively by going beyond the palliative logics of prison officials and the organisations that train and bring volunteers to teach them. The meaningful question, she shows, is not whether meditation and yoga should be taught inside, but how they are taught. By describing how, her book reveals the contingent possibilities that meditation and yoga provide incarcerated people to cope with degrading coercive conditions and also sometimes hinder mass incarceration, while deferring or foreclosing other possible freedoms. Farah Godrej joins this episode of New Books in Interpretive Political and Social Science to discuss access, ethics and risk in prisons research; ethnographic observation and scholarly activism inside; the character of resistance to physical and structural violence in the carceral state; the nexus between activism and academic work; joys of co-authorship with research participants; the delicacy of checking research participants' meanings; and the importance of self-care in research on violent and opaque institutions. Nick Cheesman is associate professor in the Department of Political and Social Change, Australian National University where he co-convenes the Interpretation, Method, Critique network. He is also a committee member of the Interpretive Methodologies and Methods group of the American Political Science Association. Learn more about your ad choices.

Olivier Bernier is an award-winning director and documentary filmmaker who lives and breathes to tell stories that explore the human condition. When Olivier and his wife Hilda's son was born with down syndrome they were entirely unprepared. Inspired, Olivier Bernier decided to document his family experience so he applied and won grant money to make a film about inclusive education. However, his family's experiences with Emilio's journey took the film in a slightly different direction. Forget Me Not became a documentary film that shares a family's fight to have their son with Down syndrome included in the country's most segregated school system in the country, the New York City public school system.  Forget Me Not offers a rare look at what a truly inclusive education can look like and how it can lead to a more inclusive society so that everyone has the opportunity to achieve their full potential. The production crew also included several young people with disabilities, as seen in the closing credits of the film. In this conversation with Jay, he talks about his journey as a father advocating for his child's inclusive education in one of the most segregated school districts in the US - New York City. Please find a transcription of this episode: https://allaboutchangepodcast.com/podcast-episode/olivier-bernierSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
