060 — Gratitude Leads to Joy with Jurni Roco
On today’s show, Dr. Fred conducts a rare in-person interview, with his guest, Jurni Roco. Jurni is known as a dancer and teacher, specializing in Argentinian Tango. Jurni’s life's mission is based around giving people opportunities to grow.
As often happens on the Welcome To Humanity podcast, today’s conversation delves into a plethora of topics, including the following:
How the coronavirus “pause” affected Jurni's relationship with self, community, and various modes of artistic expression.
Re-discovering the joy of playing a musical instrument
The improvisation of Argentine Tango, and how it relates to everyday life
Why Dr. Fred calls Jurni "astonishingly unstoppable in the face of no agreement"
How Jurni's experience of gender grew over time, leading to an eventual identification as transgender
Being free of dualities in all areas of life (e.g., dancer / non-dancer)
The liberating value of not worrying about other people's thoughts and expectations
Why Jurni is not shocked or surprised that some people don't accept transgenders
Appreciating that people differently experience the world and their place in it
Gratitude as the key to joy
Bringing gratitude to everything...even finding humor when things "go wrong"
