Summary : In the first episode, Michel Alhadeff-Jones and Keri Facer introduce The Temporal Imagination podcast and explore how « temporal imagination » and « rhythmic intelligence » offer new ways of making sense of the world. They talk about how societies and individuals understand and live in time in very diverse ways and how these differences create both conflicts and the potential for new possibilities to emerge. They discuss how rhythm shapes our experience of life, and structures the organisation of the world. And how the metaphors we use for talking about time and change, can both constrain and enable new ways of thinking. They begin to dive into how understanding, and working creatively with time and rhythm, are essential to making the changes in society needed for more sustainable and regenerative ways of living.
