Shane's broad life experience, combined with his tendency towards rigorous and analytical self-questioning, led him to this topic as a linchpin to many others. We discuss Openness as it applies to self, to ego, to relationships with other people, its role in giving life meaning and finally to our relationship with Nature herself.</p><p><br></p><p>We touch on:</p><p><br></p><ul><li>how to connect with others, and how to protect yourself while doing so</li><li>how to set strong boundaries</li><li>how to work with repeated patterns you might be seeing in your relationships</li><li>the fundamental disconnect underlying the current ecological crisis and what we can do to begin addressing it</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Shane's Links</strong></p><p>How Wolves Change Rivers (also Anthony's favourite video on the internet) - https://youtu.be/ysa5OBhXz-Q?si=FUY8z6L6u7pTv3iS</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Support the Podcasht</strong></p><p>https://www.patreon.com/WeshternPhilosophyPod</p><p>https://ko-fi.com/weshternphilosophy</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Follow the podcasht on Instagram / Facebook / YouTube</strong></p><p>@weshternphilosophypodcast</p><p><br></p><p>Intro / Outro music composed, recorded and performed by Bart and Anthony.
