    Trust Your Truth: Shannon Algeo

    This podcast features Shannon Algeo, author, meditation teacher, therapist and my neighbor :-) In our conversation, we get personal and reflect on our experience of living together and surviving the many pandemics of the last few years and what it looks like to really look out and care for each other through uncertain times.  We talked about how having hard conversations and giving critical feedback is actually a radical form of care. It affirms that we matter to each other. And it’s how we build trust and community together. This conversation is intimate and important in how it invites us to really live into the spirit of community care that we are so desperately trying to co-create.   Connect with Shannon Algeo Buy Trust Your Truth: Heal Self-Doubt, Awaken to Your Soul's Purpose, and Live Your Badass Life Check out Shannon’s work Follow Shannon on Instagram at @shannon.algeo If this episode resonates with you, we’d love for you to take a screenshot and tag us on Instagram stories @ctznwell, @kkellyyoga and @shannon.algeo Join CTZNWELL on Patreon Follow CTZNWELL on Instagram Sign up for CTZNWELL’s weekly email WELLREAD + Transcription (click here to access)

    A Queer Dharma: Jacoby Ballard

    Jacoby Ballard (he/they) is a social justice educator, yoga teacher and author of the new book A Queer Dharma: Yoga and Meditations for Liberation. Jacoby defines Queer dharma as “a practice that interrogates systems of power and seeks liberation for all”. In our conversation, we talk about the intersections of yoga and capitalism and white supremacy and cultural appropriation while also returning to the wisdom of yoga - that the yoga practice as it was intended provides a visionary pathway forward to a liberated life.  Jacoby invites us to be in a critical and courageous inquiry around how we resist the straight dharma that we have been fed by dominant culture and embrace the truth of our interdependence and collective wellbeing.  This conversation is juicy and essential.

    What is Your Medicine: Vivette Jeffries-Logan

    Vivette Jeffries Logan is a lot of things AND she is a force of nature. She’s a powerful and seasoned facilitator of race equity work. And she’s a mother, a chef, a mentor and a citizen of the Occaneechi Band of the Saponi Nation.  This podcast with her is a whole journey of joy and laughter AND asking really hard questions about who we are and how we heal?  Together we explore what it means to be curious and critical of how we’ve been shaped by a toxic dominant culture AND how we hold space for our humanness. She invites us to hold the complexity of both/and and embrace our whole, messy and surly (as she calls it) experience of being alive in these times and doing our part to heal ourselves, one another and the land that we come from.  Vivette inspires us to ask hard questions about who we are and where we come from so that we can take our place in the world and get in ‘right relationship’ with what is needed for collective healing.  Check it out.  Connect with Vivette Jeffries-Logan Visit Vivette’s website Follow Vivette on Instagram at @tobaccobird65 If this episode resonates with you, we’d love for you to take a screenshot and tag us on Instagram stories @ctznwell, @kkellyyoga and @tobaccobird65 Join CTZNWELL on Patreon Follow CTZNWELL on Instagram Sign up for CTZNWELL’s weekly email WELLREAD + Transcription (read transcription here)

  6. Finding Refuge: Michelle Cassandra Johnson

    Finding Refuge: Michelle Cassandra Johnson

    This week, my dear friend, Michelle Cassandra Johnson is back to help us tend to the shattered parts of ourselves so that we can embrace our wholeness and do the work of healing the collective heart.  In the podcast, she says, what's needed in this moment isn’t to get back to normal or to get back to work or to get back being busy and productive. What's needed is to acknowledge what we’ve gone through and what has been lost. We must feel in order to heal.  Her new book, Finding Refuge: Heartwork for Healing Collective Grief, is a radical invitation for those of us who feel brokenhearted, helpless, confused, powerless, and desperate in this moment to embrace the lost art of grieving as an essential component of healing. This book moved me and made me feel new depths and dimensions of my grief that I honestly didn't know was there. It made me reflect on how I, like many others, have attempted to manage my grief behind closed doors - alone and isolated. But Michelle reminds us that we don’t grieve in isolation in the same way that we don’t heal in isolation.  This podcast is a beautiful and joyful reminder that despite the difficult and uncertain times we are facing - we are resilient together and have the capacity to meet this moment with an open heart that can heal us forward.

    Rest is Revolutionary: Tracee Stanley

    Kicking off this season is the powerful Tracee Stanley, yoga teacher, author and who’s new book Radiant Rest: Yoga Nidra for Deep Relaxation & Awakened Clarity, has been a lifeline for me in the last couple months.  In the book, Tracee says that rest is our birthright, and when we are able to embrace that - we begin to see how we have been asleep in our lives. It is an essential practice in a moment when dominant culture is telling us to get back to normal and perform being woke. We practice rest so that we can remain awake - awake to the reality of our interdependence and collective survival.  Connect with Tracee Stanley Visit her website Follow her on Instagram at @tracee_stanley Buy her book, Radiant Rest: Yoga Nidra for Deep Relaxation & Awakened Clarity If this episode resonates with you, we’d love for you to take a screenshot and tag us on Instagram stories @ctznwell, @kkellyyoga and @tracee_stanley Join CTZNWELL on Patreon Follow CTZNWELL on Instagram Sign up for CTZNWELL’s weekly email WELLREAD + Transcription (read transcription here)

  8. Reaching for Each Other

    12/17/2020

    Reaching for Each Other

    This conversation is really timely as it explores how we reach for each other across distance so that we can build beloved communities in these unique times. It features Minister Lauren Cunningham, Francisca Porchas Coronado, Rev Brandon Wrencher and Minister leea allen and offers a really cool behind the scenes perspective by leaders who are innovating and adapting community spaces for healing and grieving and transformation. One of the things Lauren reminds us of is that “there is no end to what a living world will demand of you”. Even while our presence is reduced to screens and keystrokes, muting and unmuting - we are still alive and the world demands we live.  Imagining new ways of being together and healing together and growing together is what this moment is calling for. And this episode is a good start.
