Hello friends,
please enjoy this podcast episode with Jelger Kroese.
Jelger is a cross-disciplinary academic, teacher, researcher and musician. A true multi-hyphenate. He is part of the leadership team of the “Collective Futures” minor at the University of Amsterdam.
Jelger and I met at Medley, an extended residency, which I dubbed a “kindergarten for ADHD wizards”. The meme took between my friends and I, and developed into something I would now simply call “magic school”: A space that’s solidly set up for its inhabitants to decided for themselves what they want to do. A space that might have fewer rules and regulations than one might expect. A space for self discovery, and discovering others, and the resulting relationships, which is always a palpably magical process.
Then, one day I found out that Jelger’s “Collective Futures” minor is actually a magic school — firmly established in the honorable university of Amsterdam.
I wanted to find out more about this, but I must have also been very inspired, because I ended up talking a lot myself. About love, magic, the implicit, the work of McGilchrist, and and and. Please enjoy this conversation with Jelger!
PS: This is the second episode of The Time Is Now that was recorded in person, at PORTAL in Porto : ) More about that here:
