Unusual Practice

Charli | Breaking Illusions

We are spectacularly stupid.We're fighting each other over opinions while AI rewires civilisation and nukes sit waiting for the wrong person to have a bad day!Unusual Practice tears into the things we avoid: power, identity, relationships, politics, psychology, faith, sex, grief, and the lies we tell ourselves to get through the day.'UP' is for people done being fed BS. It’s not for those who want to win arguments. But for those who want to outgrow them.Leave uplifted, curious and ready.
