Gracie's whole look in this workshop is 🔥

I so agree with this! His shadow took on a strange energy. Its only concern was for sustaining the attention of the audience/Teal, and the strategy it deployed was the most pitiable, droning, & scattered persona. It's too bad he couldn't realize he was speaking out of his shadow, but hopefully it'll become clear on rewatch!

I'm at minute 35 and was yelling at my screen, "He's not getting it because he wants to be on stage"! Lol I scrolled down into the comments to see that I must be perceiving his shadow correctly.

I really enjoyed watching Teal and her helper (sorry don't their name!) playact taking someone as part of themselves. In real life, I can see how this kind of conversation derails for people because one or neither of them have the ability to *notice* when someone's energy shifts back into "fighting for themself". I think it'd be helpful if a future episode dealt solely with how to notice/ become aware of when your own or someone else's energy shifts.

In minute 27, Teal says "safety in relationships isn't about what you are and aren't" -- my question is, what is safety in relationships about then? This is confusing because I'd guess safety is about whether the other person is trustworthy, reliable, emotionally available etc. Can someone help me better understand this?

My curiosity, my urge to create, my wonder at nature, my delight in the animal kingdom, my awe of human artistry
