#7 - Blake Chalfant: The Art of Listening, Humanities Role on Earth

What if the next steps, the answers you seek, and the path ahead was trying to find you? In a culture so deeply entrenched in “doing”, and grinding things out, we have forgotten about the art of listening. 

What is the purpose of our species? Why are we so different than everyone else? 

I believe humans are a custodial species, here to create, care for, and breathe life into the natural organization of life that exists. Within our place as humans, it is absolutely essential that we are listening to life in order to inform how we show up.
