    TNP223 Efu Nyaki on Healing Trauma through Family Constellations and SE

    TNP223 Efu Nyaki on Healing Trauma through Family Constellations and SE

    My guest today is Efu Nyaki, a healer born and raised in Tanzania who works internationally facilitating trainings and workshops on trauma healing. I first heard about Efu through my friends, Patricia Petersen and Thérèse Cator who were each members of the inaugural BIPOC-only cohort of Somatic Experiencing (SE) Practitioner trainings. They recently graduated from that multiyear program and I couldn’t be more delighted to congratulate them on this tremendously wonderful achievement! 🎉 Finding a BIPOC practitioner of SE is getting easier in great measure because of the trailblazing work of today’s guest, Efu Nyaki.
     
    Efu is a faculty member at the Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute and also a professor of Systemic Family Constellations Therapy at the Hellinger Science Institute, and is also the founder of AFYA, a women’s holistic healing centre in Brazil. I’m delighted to welcome Efu to the show.

    TNP221 Waking Up to the Dark with Clark Strand

    TNP221 Waking Up to the Dark with Clark Strand

    Today, we welcome Clark Strand to the show to talk about his book, Waking up to the Dark: The Black Madonna's Gospel for an Age of Extinction and Collapse. Clark has written numerous books and articles, his work has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times and the Washington Post, and he is co-author with previous podcast guest, Perdita Finn, of the book, The Way of the Rose.
     
    In this episode, we go back to the beginning, in more ways than one. We explore the Deep Time of our neolithic ancestors, and even just how distant the world of our ancestors of less than 100 years ago seems, as we discuss the ways in which electric light has shaped our lives and our psyches. We discuss how electrification has led us to the climate crisis we’re in today. Waking up to the Dark is an urgent message from an apparition that Clark calls Our Lady of Climate Change about the challenges to come.

    TNP220 Empower Your Perimenopause with Dr.Kristin Schnurr

    TNP220 Empower Your Perimenopause with Dr.Kristin Schnurr

    I have been a student in the most life-changing class about perimenopause for the better part of this year. Actually, it’s a telehealth group – a group of patients meeting monthly for online sessions – under the care of Dr.Kristin Schnurr, a naturopathic doctor who specializes in complex endocrine concerns including perimenopause and postmenopause.
    In this episode, we explore:
    • how long perimenopause lasts• how to know which stage of perimenopause you're in• why vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes and night sweats) can be more serious than we think• the connection between ACE scores and perimenopausal symptoms
    and so much more!

    TNP219 The Metaskills of Healing with Thérèse Cator

    TNP219 The Metaskills of Healing with Thérèse Cator

    Wow, this is a juicy one. My dear friend, Thérèse Cator, is back on the show in this special replay of a session we co-led as a warm-up event for my Witches New Year Gathering happening on October 28, 2023.
    Thérèse Cator is a trauma-informed embodiment practitioner who specializes in helping people develop a connection to their bodies that promotes wellness and healing. Cator’s work provides an intersectional and decolonial lens that is rare in an overwhelmingly white and ableist somatics field. Thérèse is also the founder of Embodied Black Girl, a global community that stands for the embodied liberation of Black women and femmes and women of color everywhere. Embodied Black Girl is devoted to creating a safe space for to heal from intergenerational trauma, racialized stress and colonial conditioning in service of our individual and collective liberation and healing. Thérèse has been featured in Forbes and MindBodyGreen, and she has delivered workshops to major tech companies while maintaining her focus on Black women's and femmes' health.
    We've been friends since 2017 and over the years have been in trainings together as students, as well as co-facilitated and collaborated on projects. We often independently come up with new directions we want to take with our work, only to find the other was planning the exact same thing. And that's what happened here! We are each offering facilitator trainings in 2024 and we're here to give some insight into our shared philosophical approach.
