Transformation in a Meta-Modern World (& the stage theory debate)

As we participate more and more consciously in our own unfolding, we need to ask what is working, what is holding us back, and how can we develop as individuals and collectively in a way that is in harmony with the wider ecosystem? In this conversation with Spring Cheng, Steve March and Jeremy Johnson we explore the concept of liminality, animated intelligence, constructive and destructive developmental methods, two key pathways to creating change, our relationality and connection to the ecosphere, and embracing diversity within and between us.
In this podcast we talk about:

05:20 What do we mean by “liminality”
09:30 Fostering animated intelligence
13:40 Participating in our own unfolding
19:40 Unconscious violence in development
24:50 What helps to generate development
35:25 Two pathways to creating change
43:30 A senseful unfoldment
49:00 Development as a design process
59:00 What is a Self

Steve March

Steve March is the founder of Aletheia Unfolding and is devoted to the art and practice of unfoldment—a way of living, leading, and coaching that moves beyond fixing what is broken to reveal the wholeness that is already present. With decades of experience in coaching, adult development, and leadership education, Steve supports coaches and leaders in awakening to deeper dimensions of their being, cultivating the wisdom, compassion, and creativity needed to navigate the complexity of our times. His work integrates developmental psychology, contemplative practice, somatics, and integral theory into a living, embodied approach to transformation. Steve sees true transformation not as something to achieve, but as a natural unfolding of essence when we rest in presence and allow life to move through us. Through his teaching and mentoring, he guides coaches around the world toward a more soulful, holistic, and liberated way of working.
