Episode 51 of Voices from ROOM: A Podcast for Analytic Action, “Solace for Survival with Alexandra Woods” is now available wherever you listen to podcasts.
This week, Aneta and Isaac speak with Alexandra Woods, whose work operates at the intersections of the clinical, the personal, and the natural. As an analyst and a writer, Woods derives solace and inspiration from nature and activism. She explores the tension between how we connect and disconnect from the world around us, both environmentally and politically. Negotiating joy and obligation, Woods details how critical rest can galvanize future direct action and connection.
“We allow the future to come at us in tiny doses. Do we want to follow the news? Can we hold on to our internal compasses? Will they spin out of control? Is it even possible to set a course?”
— Alexandra Woods, “Winter Into Spring,” ROOM 6.25
