About this episode

In this episode, Julia explores the concept of flow in relation to capitalism and how individuals can navigate and subvert harmful systems.

“When I accumulate, resources don’t flow.” In Week 5 of our inquiry to confront complicity in capitalism, we reconnect to FLOW – how this inquiry flows beneath the surface even when life happens, how we are complicit in not flowing resources where we really want, how we can be choice-ful in how we live and work and spend. This week, we dive into: Life happens. This conscious inquiry in the forefront … AND seeping in the background. The point is flow … YET accumulation is the opposite of flow. Privilege in capitalism. We are still complicit … WHILE we’re trying to create something new. The full range of options. Nurturing a multiplicity of alternatives… NOT just one logic: where to be in gift economy, in conscious exchange, in mutual aid, in other ways we don’t even know yet. How to be in this system … WHILE weakening capitalism from the inside out. Is that even possible? We’re curious: How are you flowing resources in your world to subvert harmful systems? This is part of a new series called Confronting Complicity in Capitalism . This special series is a season of experiment to really look at money and privilege with care & joy rather than shame & blame. As always, follow…
