Public Space Dialogue: "Cognitive Ecology"

Date & Time: January 30th, 2026

Synopsis:

In this episode of Public Space, we sit down with author Sher Griffin to explore the groundbreaking ideas behind her new book, Cognitive Ecology: Mapping Your Mind for Self-Understanding. Sher introduces us to the mind as a dynamic, living ecosystem — one shaped by memory, emotion, environment, habit, trauma, imagination, and the stories we tell ourselves. Rather than treating thought as a mechanical process, Cognitive Ecology offers a nuanced, compassionate framework for understanding how our inner landscapes evolve and how we can learn to navigate them with greater clarity. Sher’s approach is accessible, deeply human, and rooted in both psychological insight and lived experience. Whether you’re moving through transition, seeking greater self-awareness, or simply curious about the invisible structures shaping your thoughts, this conversation offers a powerful guide to understanding the landscapes within. Join us for a thoughtful exploration of how to see your mind differently — and how that shift can transform the way you live.

Public Space Dialogue: "Embodying The Goddess"

Date & Time: January 10th, 2026

Synopsis:

In this episode of Public Space, we sit down with author, educator, and yoga therapist Cynthia Abulafia for a powerful conversation on embodiment, healing, and spirituality beyond rigid frameworks. Drawing from her Shakta-tantra lineage and her upcoming book, Embodying the Goddess, Cynthia invites us to reconsider the role of the body as central—not peripheral—to the spiritual path. Together, we explore how patriarchal and transcendence-oriented spiritual systems have often severed seekers from their bodies, intuition, and lived experience. Cynthia names this pattern as “transcendence bias” and offers a trauma-informed, compassionate response rooted in non-dual traditions, subtle body anatomy, movement science, and breath-based practices.
