Sean is a Co-Founder and Team Member of Fly on a Wall, an artist led platform that presents and supports process and performance. Sean invests in care, awareness, sensation, and love, all of which he practices through the lens of queer stamina, movement, and evolution.Hez Stalcup is an experimental dance artist. He works with bodies, words, sound and objects. He makes dances. He is usually in them. He makes other things that maybe get seen. Most people think his work is about being queer or about gender, its only sometimes about either. Often he is dancing about time, failure and personhood with people he thinks are smart and funny and should be looked at. He doesn’t make beautiful dances per se, rather he thinks about what makes something outlandish and solitary enough that you want to love it forever.LINKSIf you enjoyed the episode, check out —Meditation on the Fool w— Hez StalcupEpisode w— Alkistis Dimech on The Occulted Body + Dancing with DaimonsEpisode w— Laura ZuspanMore about our guests —Sean’s websiteSean’s InstagramFly On A Wall websiteemail Hez at [email protected] Connected —Subscribe to the home—body podcast wherever you get your listens.mary grace’s websitehome—body websiteThis podcast is produced by Softer Sounds. ✨Support the show

Reframing productivity is a very January thing to do, yes? How can we release ourselves from the outer forces, inner voices, and productivity gurus driving us toward more-more-more? And when we do choose another path, how do we set up our work so that we actually bring our dreams to life — without getting lost in ambiguity, confusion or overwhelm?“How do we strike the right balance of getting things done but while also feeling inspired + alive?”I’m joined by Amelia Hruby, my friend, podcast producer + co-teacher of our upcoming course Living Systems. Together we discuss all things productivity through a feminist, ecology lens; and we share the systems + frameworks that allow us to live more in alignment with our internal rhythms, energetic capacities + ever-changing seasons.This episode is for anyone who wants to do life, work + business your way, and needs support figuring out what your way really is.🌱“A lot of us have embodied an industrial model for productivity that’s solely focused on maximizing output, profits, and extraction. But what if we did it in a more regenerative way? What if we did it in a way where we cared about the whole system, instead of trying to extract as much from ourselves and the things around us as possible?” — mary grace allerdicewe discuss —Creating systems where we can’t help but flourishWhat makes a system alive?The difference between productivity culture (boo) + regenerative systems (yay)How to identify friction points in your workThe foundational, resilient, clarifying power of the Earth elementWhy we love Projects + how Projects help us bring our purpose to lifeProjects as manifestation practiceLINKSIf you enjoyed the episode, check out —Cultivate Energetic Sovereignty, Off the Grid podcastReframing Service as Connection + How to Serve While Caring for YourselfMore about our guest —Amelia’s websiteSofter Sounds StudioMentioned in the episode—Want to get on the mailing list for Living Systems?
