The Center for Transforming Engagement Podcast

Center staff hosts conversations about changes that serve a common good — and a higher good.

We talk with ministry leaders, counselors, academics, practitioners, and more to learn about how change happens as we pursue transforming engagement. Each season explores a single aspect of transforming engagement.

Embodying Community with Curt Thompson | Podcast Season 01, Episode 01

We connected with psychiatrist and author Curt Thompson, MD, on a Zoom call as we were all navigating the Omicron surge in the winter of 2022. As we talked about what an embodied community means, we could not escape the context of the COVID19 pandemic. This conversation is full of longing to be in the physical presence of one another, the challenges that arise as we begin to re-enter into community with others, and how we can approach the next season with open ears and hearts, ready to listen and engage with one another.
