The Tension of Emergence: Thriving in a world that remakes, not breaks
What if the tension in your life isn’t something to resolve—but something to revere?
Welcome to Tension of Emergence, an audio sanctuary where we meet the fertile edge of transformation—not by bypassing discomfort, but by alchemizing it.
Hosted by Jennifer England—human rights advocate, Zen practitioner, and former executive—this podcast explores the friction that arises when we’re called to lead, create, or heal during times of profound change.
A space for holding paradox, Tension of Emergence invites you into intimate conversations with artists, philosophers, scientists, and change-makers. Together, we expose the fault lines of outdated paradigms and imagine new ways of being with creativity and embodied wisdom.
If you’re craving subversive happenings and radical encouragement as you walk the edges of personal and collective change- come join us.
The Tension of Emergence: Thriving in a world that remakes, not breaks
Welcome to Season 4 with Jennifer England!
What does it mean to be engaged in a world that feels like it’s breaking?
In this preview of Season 4 of Tension of Emergence, Jennifer England shares the heart of the new season’s inquiry—a living koan that has been shaping her own writing and leadership: how do we act with love and integrity in a time of rupture and collapse, without rushing to fix or save a world that may not need our saving?
With a magical cadre of guests, Jennifer explores tensions we’re told to resolve—between urgency and spaciousness, grief and creativity, doing and being. With the backdrop of global upheaval, she asks:
- Is “breaking” the whole story? If not, what else is happening?
- How do we stay in relationship, when our hearts are breaking?
- What do we do when we can’t agree on the path forward?
Tune in to discover what it means to live at the edge of uncertainty—curiously, generously, and awake. Season 4 offers a sanctuary of emergence- and place to be honest in the mess of it all.
Come follow along for deep dives, and micro-practice episodes, to nourish this season of collective stretch.
