Many of today’s challenges are explained as systemic problems. But if a problem is systemic, what can we do about it?
The deeper issue is relational.
Many of us have had our relational awareness trained out of us by an overemphasis on the functional. We no longer know how to relax while alert, able to reshape relationships among functional parts to sustain the resilience of the whole system.
‘Not Everything Is an Existential Threat’ offers one way to address this.

Hello, I hope you are well.
Early in my career, I focused on separating the functional from the relational aspects of face-to-face interaction. The functional moved online. Later, I focused on training the relational aspects for those who only see the functional. Today, @LifeSkills21.club, I use basketball and swimming to provide practical, experiential training in relational awareness. This approach is different from the functional methods typically used in basketball coaching and swimming instruction. We train people to relate as a whole.
