Chip Conrad’s Sweet Chant of Frantic Power

Product Description

Chip Conrad – Bodytribe Training – Why Do We Train?

The ever-creative Chip Conrad challenges us in Why on Earth? Excerpts from our Sweet Chant of Frantic Power to think deeper about why we need strength, why we want it, and how to share it. This lecture will give you a smile, and later you’ll realize you’d been pondering his concepts of our relation to strength, and why this matters.

“It’s been said that happiness means nothing if it isn’t shared. The case will be made here that strength is the same way. As a tool for empowerment, we’ll see if there is such a thing as personal empowerment without somehow including the tribe.” ~Chip Conrad
