World of Wisdom #3

February 2024

⁠

208. Ylva Björnberg and Alexander Crawford. Finding the space between worlds: the how, who and what of the anteroom.⁠

⁠

This is the third installment with

Ylva⁠

and

Alexander⁠

. This time we talk about the anteroom. This is the concept of the space between worlds where we can begin sensing and moving into what will come next. This is a powerful conversation about what it takes to go beyond the current paradigm. It is for those that are curious and interested about what is to come next. For those that have perhaps let go of some of what this world has to offer. For those that are doing this for something bigger than themselves, that long to be in service. Enjoy!

#3. Ylva Björnberg & Diana Uppman – Searching for Genius Loci⁠

(in Swedish)

⁠

⁠

In this episode, we search for genius loci. What is genius loci? Who is Genius Loci? How do we find genius loci? Do humans need genius loci? Ylva Björnberg reflects together with Diana Uppman on the phenomenon of genius loci. The duo begins with a tangled American poem and then traces their way back to the Romans' possible interpretation of genius loci. The Romans viewed genius loci as the protective spirit or spirits of a place. Architectural theorist and professor Christian Norberg-Schulz sought genius loci again, as he believed that new places had lost their identity when modern architecture distanced itself from the nature and surroundings of a location. Today, commercial forces attempt to reintroduce genius loci to places to increase their attractiveness. Ylva and Diana have experimented both together and individually to find genius loci. It becomes a journey of discovery between the rational world, the natural world, and the spiritual world. Language gets in the way, and the search must continue far beyond the scope of the podcast. Welcome to an episode that seeks genius loci.

#44 Ulrika and Ylva – The Ritual is Like a Pocket in Time.⁠

(in Swedish)

Season 3, Ep. 44

Tuesday, November 21, 2023

Ylva Björnberg is an independent strategist who conducts future studies focused on experiences, meetings, and work life. Ulrika Hammar is a communications officer at RFSU and an author. At a party, they find themselves discussing a difficult event. Ulrika's close friend of fifty years unexpectedly ended her life. Ylva is deeply moved by Ulrika's immense loss, which sparks a thought: why is nothing done for those left behind when someone passes away? In this episode, they share the grief ritual they created to address Ulrika's three distinct sorrows regarding her friend Stina*. They also reflect on how rituals can help people process the various stages of life with others. "Is there anything more meaningful than helping each other live our lives and go through what we go through?"

*Stina's real name has been changed out of respect for others who knew her.

Alexander Crawford⁠

and

Ylva Björnberg⁠

visit the podcast for a deep dive. Both Ylva and Alexander are deeply involved with the transformation of society and are recovering futurists. This conversation introduces a concept they have been developing and gives a first taste of what they call conversation 1 and conversation 2. Conversation 2 is what is needed by some for us as a society to start being able to shift out of the grid lock of the current global logic. This is part 2 of our conversation that we ended up re-recording post IPCCs updated report and the release of Chat-GPT4. We speak about language, Bretton Woods, Silence, Push and pull, institutions and much more. Come along!

This conversation introduces a concept they have been developing and gives a first taste of what they call conversation 1 and conversation 2. Conversation 2 is what is needed by some for us as a society to start being able to shift out of the grid lock of the current global logic. We cover a few of the fundamental moves in this conversation. Like the ladder of awareness by Paul Chifurka and Donatella Meadows framework on places to interveine in a system. This is the first part of the conversation and next week we'll lean further in, it ends right when we took a break (that ended up being some 7 weeks in clock time). We'll pick it up again next episode. Come along!
