Super interesting post, Pete. I’ve mever heard the term before (eupsychic). It doesn’t roll off the tongue easily! But it carries a lot of meaning. I’m fortunate to have had exposure to many, at least partly, eupsychic environments. My family growing up, one of the schools I attended, a couple of organisations I’ve worked for. It’s the sort of environment I strive to create in my current role and organisation today. Glad that I now have a name for it!
Welcome. Thanks for joining us, and offering your own insights on this topic.
It’s great that you’ve enjoyed so many first hand experiences of such life affirming environments. My observation would be, that you’re living evidence of the outcomes possible from such life enriching experiences.
What I find interesting is - although you didn’t have Abe’s name for it - you were clearly familiar with the inherent pattern and characteristic’s of the phenomenon, through personal experience.
Language of course plays a vital role in helping us to better understand, articulate, and share with others, things that we often already intuitively sense or know.
Having a name for this phenomena - and being able to recognise its characteristics, impacts and effects - can help empower us to become more precise and intentional in creating the conditions for mutual flourishing.
Once we have the language to understand what we are doing and why, and why that’s important - then “test, adjust and repeat” is a very effective way to “learn forward”.
Equally important - though not dealt with explicitly here - is the need to recognise and name the toxic patterns of oppression, infantilisation, dehumanisation, inequality and injustice in behaviours and beliefs - in ourselves, in others, and in our institutions of church, state, education and economy.
It we have precise language to name it, we can more effectively call out such bad behaviour, warn others, and let go of these toxic behaviours, and intentionally cocreate healthier alternatives for all.
Thanks again for your interest and support. It’s much appreciated.
