Many who consider themselves on a path of self-development still see the body as an afterthought or a vehicle to be fine-tuned and maintained. In his Relational Leadership Summit talk, A.J. Pape opens new possibilities of living in the body as the ground of life, the place we can directly access the evolutionary impulse at root. This path is not merely feeling our sensations, but also discovering how the body is where we learn, how we change and evolve, and where we connect with others & with our great work in life.
