Most of us have felt it, a physiological restlessness, a philosophical ache, a something-more-than-feeling that surfaces and won't quite go away. We push past it. We try to think our way through it. We wait for it to resolve.
In this talk, Lea Appleton introduces the Taxonomy of Longing. It's an original idea for reading the body's interior signals as navigational tools rather than problems to be solved. Longing, she argues, is not simply an emotion. It is a state of being, felt in the head, the heart, the body, and somehow beyond all three. And learning to read it is the beginning of wayfinding, of finding our way without a map.
Audiences leave with recognition, relief, and direction. And a real practice for following what their longing has been pointing toward all along.
