Are you interested in engaging with the word queer differently and understanding how queerness promotes well-being?

“You're about to listen to an episode discussing queerness, queer life, and queer expressions. In this episode, I share my experience of being queer in my sexuality and in the ways my queerness has opened me up to my true self...my weirdness, strangeness, and all the possibilities within me.

My words and my story do not speak for every queer life or experience. They only speak for my own, and it is my hope that by listening to this episode, we all might engage with the word queer differently, that it might become a word of invitation, and that we might embrace it as a place of infinite possibility of wild hope and expansive becoming.

My queer experience as someone who identifies as queer in sexuality and in life is one in which I hope invites ALL of us into the ways in which queer can be an invitation into transgressive action which opposes societal norms. An invitation to living in a place beyond binaries and in that liminal space of possibility and an invitation into how queerness doesn't only live in sexuality.” - Cassidy Hall

Happy listening, friends. Enjoy the conversation.

Did you know there is a place in your body specifically designed for you to experience safety, connection, empathy, curiosity, compassion, health, growth, and restoration?!

We are back in SEASON 5 and laser focused on Critical Thinking To Promote Well-Being.

Are you looking for a podcast about human nature, communication skill-building, and spirituality?

Than this podcast is for you!

You save time & energy with this educational podcast designed to help us better understand human nature, build up our communication skills, and ground ourselves spiritually.

You are biologically wired with the need to FEEL SAFE AND CONNECTED.

Befriending your nervous system helps you meet your basic human need for safety and connection. It is essential to your well-being!

This episode introduces HOW you can anchor in your body to experience safety & connection.

Imagine a world filled with humans who feel SAFE AND CONNECTED IN THEMSELVES AND WITH EACH OTHER – a world where everyone’s basic human needs for safety, belonging, and dignity are met and we have the opportunity to self-actualize and where groups of people communally actualize. I want to live in that world! Let's co-create it.
“Polyvagal Theory is the science of feeling safe enough to fall in love with life and take the risks of living . We are wired for connection . Our nervous systems are social structures that find balance and stability in relationship with others . Think about that for a moment . Our biology shapes the way we navigate living , loving , and working . And we now have a way to use this understanding in service of individual , family , community , and global well - being . This “ way ” is called Polyvagal Theory .”-  DEB DANA

What are "Affinity spaces and how do we find them?"

Come along with Laura Beth Buchleiter and Shaleen Kendrick exploring Affinity Spaces!

Jesus didn't fit in very many places, while on earth, yet belonged everywhere. Why? Because he fully completely and wholly belonged to himself first. What might that be like and how do we get there?
"I think part of truly embracing and leaning into mysticism is holding space for people regardless of where they are on their journey." - Laura Beth
"We do not heal in isolation. When we reach out and connect with one another – when we tell the story, name the hurt, grant forgiveness, and renew or release the relationship – our suffering begins to transform." - Desmund Tutu

 In this episode, we are here with my great friend, Josh Perez. Josh is the creative magic that happens on this show. 
And Josh is a true creative similar to the powerful Enneagram four energy; he thinks circularly about narrative and in stories, and he basically takes all of the chaos that I throw out and creates an arc to every episode that we have. 

Basically, I often lean in from the left brain, and Josh pulls from the right brain...together we hope to help us all better integrate and become more whole.
So if you have been enjoying the Desert Voices podcast, the creative genius behind the mic is Josh. I am grateful for who Josh is and the tender power he brings to the show. He is a great friend and brilliant creator. 

He is also an incredible theologian in his own right. I cannot wait for you all to experience the man, the myth, the magic that is Just Josh Perez.
