The Tension of Emergence: Thriving in a world that remakes, not breaks

What if the tension in your life isn’t something to resolve—but something to revere?


Welcome to Tension of Emergence, an audio sanctuary where we meet the fertile edge of transformation—not by bypassing discomfort, but by alchemizing it.


Hosted by Jennifer England—human rights advocate, Zen practitioner, and former executive—this podcast explores the friction that arises when we’re called to lead, create, or heal during times of profound change.


A space for holding paradox, Tension of Emergence invites you into intimate conversations with artists, philosophers, scientists, and change-makers. Together, we expose the fault lines of outdated paradigms and imagine new ways of being with creativity and embodied wisdom.


If you’re craving subversive happenings and radical encouragement as you walk the edges of personal and collective change- come join us.
