#5: How Do We Practice Unknowing?
52-Week Rhythm
How can I begin to unknow? In this "Do" episode of the 52-Week Rhythm we dig into the everyday practice of unknowing—an invitation to believe in change. Practicing unknowing invites us to believe that others can truly change—and challenges us to interact with both strangers and familiar faces without the baggage of past expectations. To apply this practice, start by giving people the freedom to be different than anyone you've ever met—approach them as if you've never known them.

Today we explore the quiet, often-overlooked practice of acompañar—a Spanish word that means more than just "accompanying." It’s about walking alongside others with intentional presence, without the need to fix or perform. In a culture that often prioritizes bold gestures and public wins, acompañar invites us into the sacred, everyday work of showing up—in silence, in slowness, in small, consistent acts of care.
