We are continuing our series of podcasts dedicated to the exploration of the body, the somatic disciplines and the underlying principles. Today, we are exploring the 13th generalized principle called "Expressing Emotions". The previous episodes from this series can be found on our website at http://www.radicalchangegroup.com/podcasts/series/body-of-wisdom/

• Expression of emotions
  • Emotions cannot be supressed, they can only be expressed
  • Examples: dance, ritual work, spiritual work, martial arts
• Applications
  • Relationships
  • Emotion: energy in motion
  • Business: Transmutation of fear into hope
  • Personal growth: self-expression, arts, sciences

In this podcast, we bring back the theme of accelerated learning that we started way back in one of our first episodes, now approaching it from a totally new angle and with the new learnings and experiences that we ourselves have learned in the meantime:

• What is learning?
  • What takes time in learning is "not getting it" (Marshall Thurber)
  • "Phase change," or transformational learning, in contrast to "slow learning"
  • The tipping point in learning
• Examples of accelerated learning
  • Learning NLP techniques – finding the bigger structure
  • Ballroom dancing – exploring the space of mistakes
  • Strategy to execution
• What people remember?
  • The first thing, the last thing, and any strongly emotional moments in between
  • Structuring learning in smaller chunks
  • Segmented learning
  • Constructing stories
• Examples of learning through stories
• Different kinds of learning
  • Academic
  • Experiential
• Games – making learning fun
• Closing remarks
  • Making games on the fly
  • Look for humor
  • Learning as new ways to have fun
  • "Mischief accomplished!"
