“Repair — to pair again with other alliances — making us alive in ways we don’t even know how to speak to yet.”

A video version is available below.
In this first episode of Wild Heart Revival, Bayo guides us into an exploration of a timely concept that he calls 'A Politics of Tenderness,' navigating the fluidity of identity and challenging societal norms. From radical accompaniment to the wild wisdom of tricksters, Bayo invites us to embrace an animist’s ethics along our mythic quest for deeper self-and-other understanding. The conversation also traverses the transformative territory of initiatory rites, the wisdom of death as an advisor, and the vibrant playfulness of creation. Through Bayo's lens, we contemplate 'Wild Heart Revival' as a dynamic space for questioning, repair, and forging new alliances beyond human-centric perspectives.
