Episode 5 explores consensual language. Jenny is in conversation with Rivca Rubin, instigator of Upwording: a global appeal for change to a desirable world for all by evolutionising thinking through everyday use of language"Our communications today are still riddled with phrases and concepts that cultivate hierarchies and uphold inequalities. If our intention is to move to environments that nurture mutual benefit, promote autonomy and responsible living, we can choose to make active shifts in our intention and language that facilitate, rather than hinder this.When intention changes, the impact is instant – even very small changes create instant positive impacts with self and others."https://www.upwording.com/http://www.grandreunion.net/upwording/ - upwording podcast gives you full briefing on upwordingFollow Upwording on Facebook or InstagramUpwording and Consent Culture: See links to video recordings from the International Festival of Consent in 2020 - http://consentculture.co.uk/festival-of-consent/ Show notes and transcription available here: https://consentculture.co.uk/resources/idoconsent-podcast/
