Summit Words

The podcast

One over-used word, unpacked each episode.

Love, healing, forgiveness, success. What each one actually costs to live, rather than just to say.

In Nuri’s own voice, with chapters from the book read aloud.

The words sit at the top of the mountain. This is the climb underneath them.

Summit Words

One over-used word each episode – and what it actually asks of us. Plus chapters from the book, read aloud.

Summit Words · Episode 1

Love

Someone says you’re in love, and suddenly something complicated becomes simple. Then we start looking backwards through the word.

Don’t ask whether it was love. Remember how it felt – that will tell you what it was.

Short films

Short pieces, spoken rather than written – the same thinking as the book, on an ordinary day.

What happens to us

We are taught from childhood to accept language as more real than what we actually lived.

The format

Each episode takes a single summit word and sits with it – not defining it, but tracing the climb underneath it.

Grounded in what's actually been lived – Nuri's own experience, and conversations with people who've climbed that particular mountain.

No rush to conclusions. In keeping with the Centre's own idea of the delay – truth given room before it's spoken.

A short recognition

Five questions, and a name for what it became – a Shield, a Seed, or a Gift.
