Introducing On Being Foundations

ON BEING STUDIOS
About this episode

A new season of big On Being conversations is coming in the new year. But for the next few weeks, we are pulling back the veil on how we’re getting grounded for that. On Being Foundations are words and ideas — ways of seeing the world and walking through it — a few tethering understandings towards imagining and walking our way into our callings for now and the future. These have emerged across 20 years of conversation. They are shaping how The On Being Project meets the world that is now unfolding: 

  • Seeing the generative story of our time
  • Living the questions
  • Taking a long view of time, and becoming “critical yeast”
  • Calling, and wholeness


Each of the four offerings is short, less than 15 minutes — more wisdom practice than podcast episode, and meant to be interactive if you’re game. Before you sit down or step out to listen, grab something to write with. Every session comes with an invitation that you can weave through the ordinary interactions of your life, your every day. And the notes to each episode have prompts to support that. 

As you move through this, let us hear from you:
