Jane Porter on acceptance and the importance of leading with love

Accepting reality is not always easy. From climate change to social injustice to the decline of democracy, the greatest challenges of our time can seem threatening, overwhelming, or just plain impossible to solve. 

On the CreativeMornings Ottawa stage at Arts Court, Jane Porter invited us to feel the magnitude of these challenges, and to lead with love and compassion. Doing so starts with connection: with ourselves, our communities, and the land we call home. 

Connection is something Jane has consciously cultivated throughout her life. This includes in her community work as co-founder of Impact Hub Ottawa and through convening stakeholders as a sustainability consultant. Today, as an integral facilitator and founder of Bridge Building Group, Jane brings people together to have tough conversations that spark meaningful change and heal divides. 

The journey to acceptance and understanding can be uncomfortable. In her talk, Jane used a photography metaphor to break down her approach:

Zoom out to see the big picture and break free from your existing echo chambers. 

Zoom in and reflect on who you really are and what motivates you. 

Reframe why you do what you do. For example, Jane realized she pursued a career in sustainability because it gave her a sense of connection with others and to the land.

Focus and realize that two things can be true at the same time, depending on who you’re asking and what they’ve chosen to lock their viewfinder on.

Find a tripod to support your passions and purpose. When you feel like you’re on shaky ground, dig deeper into learning and your relationships to find the support you need. 

Finally, Jane suggested it’s time we find a new lens. Western society is oriented around growth mindsets and economic success. There is much to learn from Indigenous worldviews that compel us to think of the next seven generations, and consider the well-being of all our relations, human and otherwise.

The challenges faced by the world are not going to solve themselves. To accept—and act— during this period of existential threats we must first ground ourselves by pausing, getting curious, and finding ways to respond thoughtfully and with compassion for ourselves, our communities, and the planet. 

May ’s Theme is Acceptance.

Acceptance is the act of surrendering to our reality, without judgment or fear. There are many things in our lives that cause us discomfort or pain. We attempt to change or resist them, to no effect. So we wave a big stick, keeping them at bay like a wounded animal. 

Acceptance is weaving into your story what once caused you pain — and still might, to this day. You welcome that creature into your home, tend to its wounds, and feed it out of your hand. Acceptance is knowing that this feral animal lives side by side with your tender house cat of a heart, always.

Unser Thema im Mai ist „Acceptance“.

Was hat Akzeptanz mit neuen Technologien zu tun? 

Darum geht es am Freitag, 26. Mai, und zwar im livMatS Pavillon im Botanischen Garten. Gemeinsam mit Sabrina Livanec, Forscherin im Exzellenzcluster livMatS („Living, Adaptive and Energy-autonomous Materials Systems“) und Co-Leiterin der Plattform Nexus Experiments an der Universität Freiburg, gehen wir unter anderem folgenden Fragen nach: - Warum ist die Akzeptanz neuer Technologien und Materialien wichtig? - Wie können bei Technologieentwicklung unterschiedliche Anspruchsgruppen einbezogen werden? - Wie kann Partizipation zu Akzeptanz beitragen? - Und: Wie können Methoden aus der Psychologie dabei helfen, das alles zu erforschen?

Wir freuen uns über alle, die kommen und das Thema „Akzeptanz“ gemeinsam aus einem unerwarteten Blickwinkel betrachten. Frühstück und Input sind wie immer kostenlos, eine Anmeldung ist erforderlich. 

Wir begrüßen euch am 26. Mai ab 8 Uhr im livMatS Pavillon im Botanischen Garten. Der Pavillon befindet sich direkt beim Eingang Lerchenstraße.

Das Thema "ACCEPTANCE" wurde von CreativeMornings/Lexington ausgewählt und von Robert Beatty illustriert.
