iChange Justice Restorative Community Coalition

Podcast host Joy Gilfilen interviews Dr Sarah Larsen, a medical doctor turned spiritual healer. We talk about justice as she experienced it - 1st growing up in Pakistan within a culture of prearranged marriage at the age of 14. Her family learned about America from the movies and emigrated. Her story is about culture, structure, behaviors and how systems of domination permeate our beliefs...and why this matters to our future.

#135-ichange Justice Podcast "Healing Our Hearts" with Host Joy Gilfilen and Intuitive Life Coach and Clinical Hypnotherapist Anne Fernandez affiliated with the Center for Spiritual Living as well as a leader in the Institute for Noetic Sciences "IONS". This episode reflects on developing our personal emotional resilience and our trust in the inner nature of life.

#134-iChange Justice Podcast with Joy Gilfilen and Paul Levy, the author of "Wetiko: Healing the Mind-Virus that Plagues Our World " and how this contagious psycho-spirtual disease of the soul, is a parasite of the mind. Host Joy Gilfilen, as the Executive Director of the Restorative CommUnity Coalition, dives deeper into the subject to understand how the behavior of leaders in the incarceration industry intersects with the psychosis he talks about as "Malignant Egophrenia" (ME) and then more colloquially the "Mad Emperor Disease".

The discussion includes how the true nature of what we view as division in the world of current events, "reveals the presence of wetiko in our modern world behind every form of destruction our species is carrying out, both individual and collective. Through his 40 years of lived experience and study of quantum physics, Paul shows how this mind virus is so embedded in our psyches that it is almost undetectable--and it is our blindness to it that gives wetiko its power." In one of his earlier books, "Dispelling Wetiko: Breaking the Curse of Evil" he talks about how contagious this emotionally charged virus is, and how it is currently being acted out en masse on the world stage via a collective psychosis of titanic proportions. This mind virus—which Native Americans have called "wetiko" for centuries — covertly operates through the unconscious blind spots in the human psyche, rendering people oblivious to their own madness and compelling them to act against their own best interests. Everyone in the world of justice, healing, and recovery would benefit from listening in.

This is a rewind from our origninal Episode on October 11th 2023 with Paul Levy.

Joy Gilfilen, Host of iChange Justice and Karen Ball discuss the nature of life in the indigenous world with guest speaker Eveimai Lotori, who is multi-cultural and lives across Canada, the US and Mexico doing sacred ceremonies in different locations. .



We discuss specifically what happened when rites of passage for young people, tied to natural cycles of life were turned into events to display young women as domesticated potential wives. Young men were also not honored; and today that behavior has morphed into entire large coming out parties that have affected societal behaviors. The impacts have rippled out in unexpected ways.

ichangejusticeHost Joy Gilfilen talks about Galtung's Conflict, Trauma, and Violence Triangles with Karen Ball and Kurt Krueger. How do his original concepts offer new ways to understand the complexity of contradictions that permeate our current world? It is at the point where human, business and government systems collide.

They discuss how the original constitutional idea of having a triad based structure (the Executive, Legislative, Judicial branches of government) breaks apart when we leave behavior out of the conversation when we create only two courts to handle conflicts: the civil and criminal courts. How does that work? It seems to end up creating Compound Civic Domestic Violence situations that are not understood in the civic square.

Host Joy Gilfilen interviews James White about "Ableism: From Disenfranchised and Excluded, To Empowered and Included". We discuss the interesting dimension of how we in social situations are often marginalized, excluded, put down or dominated - often comes with lack of knowledge, exposure, ignorance and underneath it all is fear of being different.

We then include Mel Hoover, who brings a 3rd dimension about how this changes perceptions in different contexts, generations, professions, and across cultures. Racism, ableism, sexism, ageism, castism and even rankism can all be more easily understood when we include all...
