    Our greatest teachers: learning from harm and reparation with Gabe Huck

    In this special episode, our guest Gabe Huck maps a critical questioning of the American conscious over his own lifetime, from the civil rights era to the U.S. war in Iraq. His life’s work as a publisher in a small wing of peace-driven theological literature has instilled in him a great respect for knowledge, while a lifetime of stepping into the frontlines of the nation’s fights for racial justice and sovereignty have solidified his commitment to the reparations movement. This led him and his partner Theresa to found the Iraqi Student Project in 2007, which helped connect displaced Iraqis in Syria to fully funded higher education in North America, and helped prepare them for their studies. We trace Gabe’s core influences in his own intellectual evolution and then talk about how this project came to be, and where it has led both of them now in their lives in Harrisonburg, Virginia.

    A whole ass conversation on wholeness: a philosophical voyage with Andrea Russell

    She’s back. This week’s episode with poet/philosopher/somatic practitioner/earth-to-my-water Andrea Russell is just a straight-up healthy dose of philosophical conversation about what it means to be whole in a dismembered society-exploring how we find our purpose, what it means to be and connect to wildness, and to hold the complexity of contradiction as we seek to stay true to relationship and the intrinsic beauty of our humanity.

    Chosen Family as Transformation: Healing & Intimacy across Distance w/ Navy Graber

    "Let no one ever say that I fell in love; I rose in it." -Toni Morrison TW: mention of childhood abuse.  Choosing the people that become family, for those whose family backgrounds have warped the experience of being and knowing that you are loved, is a revolutionary, healing act. In this poignant conversation about rising in love, Navy Graber describes her experience of building chosen family across perpetual long distance relationships as an international student transferring across majors and universities in search of an educational and communal place of belonging-and finally arriving at a place that feels like home, even if that place continues to evolve and change. Building thriving, loving relationships that serve the life one wants for themselves requires intention, intimacy, and vulnerability. Navy speaks about her exploration of this process, and how sharing her story transforms her trials into transformation-for herself and hopefully others, too.
