Growing Seeds of Elegance: Greater Trust Is Possible
“A livable future depends on those who challenge the rules.”
This is how I’ve chosen to introduce “Seeds of Elegance,” an interview series on personal and systems change.
I’m Libby Hoffman, a budding relationship, embodiment and creative love coach.
I’m also an evolving designer, systems thinker and social change leader.
In kicking off this series over the last 3 months, I debated, “Should I keep this work separate? Do I want the first 5 out of 6 episodes of my podcast to feature sensitive discussions of alternative health, self intimacy and sexuality?”
Too personal?
Too political?
Too nontraditional?
Will I damage my “secular” professional life talking about spirituality and sex publicly?
I wondered and debated the stakes before fully claiming the female body, and the womb, the center of creativity, as the only place I really want to start this podcast and the reemergence of my career.
It took 26 years to even get myself on this path. There will be no “going back,” though the features of the road ahead will change along the way.
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” — Carl Jung
When I look to the the century ahead, one I plan to be alive for, I know a new quality of leadership is not only needed but desired for facing and co-creating this road.
The world as we know it, may be “ending,” but a brand new one is coming forth, and choosing who we want to be as people is as essential as choosing what we want the future to look like.
So welcome to Seeds of Elegance, a place I am choosing to publicly grapple with transformative philosophy and process, grappling with the “invisible” or unconscious landscapes that shape our trajectories so we can more consciously form new paths.
In this space I will play with ideas that reflect some of my emerging philosophy and practice:
- We can do things radically differently than what we were modeled.
- Change is beyond any one of us, yet centers all of us.
- We get to serve and lead from a resourced place.
- Profound trust is possible, in love and every layer of the system, and
- Our intelligence is not only capable of but ready to consider the interrelationship of personal and systems change.
Let this be an exploration, a spectrum of possibilities, a playpen for your mind around what’s possible. These first 6 episodes open with one woman’s grappling with life and end with another’s shamanistic journey rebirthing the masculine.
The journey is as deep and beautiful as we let it be.
If something resonates, leave a comment, reach out to myself or the people featured. We each are doing the work in our way. We are here for the transformation.
