Description
Gill Coombs is a facilitator, coach, peripatetic counsellor and an elder of Extinction Rebellion. Of her three books to date, The Game is the second. In it, she outlines the powers of the Dark Four: The Dark Media, Dark State, Dark Finance, Dark Corporations - and the ways they battle the generative forces of light. And in her game, we can each choose to play one of seven avatars. We might choose a different one in each moment. We might play them so close together as to be indivisible. But it is the thesis of this podcast that meta-awareness is one of the core requirements of humanity and that if we understand what's possible, we can gain agency. With Agency, we can choose to be different. If we choose to be different enough, we become different. So let's play in the seven avatars and see what we'd like to become.
