Episode 27 The Practice of Nested Domains
(What a bad title!)  In this episode, I am sharing about what I'm learning in school, specifically about Uri Bronfrenbrenner and his Ecology of Human Development.  I spend just a little time explaining his theory, and then I ask the question, How do we experience God in each level?  The spiritual practice starts at minute 13 if you want to jump there. But I'm sure you will find the full explanation helpful.   You can google "Bronfenbrenner Ecological Model" to see a number of different illustrations, but here is one I really like: https://twitter.com/clinpsych_ind/status/1460165178247503872 Music: A Kind of HOpe by Scott Buckley – www.scottbuckley.com.au
