Rae Dwyer - Our ideas change based on our unfolding experiences - Episode 138

weMove Podcast

Welcome to the weMove podcast.

Over the years, we’ve recorded countless conversations, and the space we began in has evolved—just as it should. New generations are stepping in, ideas that were once emerging have grown in fascinating ways (some for the better, some not so much), and perspectives continue to shift.

One thing I’ve noticed is how both people and their ideas evolve over time. It’s not just about getting older—it’s about experiences shaping us, broadening our outlooks, and refining our approaches. Many of our guests have shown us this: time doesn’t weaken us; it strengthens us, makes us more resilient, adaptable, and generous. It softens rigidity and opens the door to acceptance and understanding.

In our early days, we hosted a series called “Movement and the Search for Meaning.” It explored why people move—what they’re moving towards and what they’re moving away from. Our next guest, Rae Dwyer, was part of that series. Chris even made a short film about her journey, which was deeply rooted in yoga and other somatic practices. At that time, we were all navigating our own questions, trying to make sense of life and the paths we were on.

Since then, Chris and I have explored countless practices, read books, and had transformative conversations that have reshaped our thinking. We’re the same, but also different—more accepting of ourselves and the journey so far. During this time, I followed Rae’s journey through her posts and reflections. I saw how her thoughts evolved, becoming more open, supportive, and challenging in the best way.

It felt right to invite Rae back for this conversation—a catch-up to explore how we’ve all evolved, what’s changed, and what’s stayed the same. This episode is a classic weMove moment: open, exploratory, and filled with insights that arise through movement and reflection.

Thank you, Rae—I’m looking forward to catching up again in person.

From Chris and me, Peace.
