    Building Resilience

    On this episode, Dawn looks into the word etymology of endurance and resilience, and interviews James Yarrow, who at different times in his life has represented both. From a too fast too soon too much Awakening that led to a stent in a state hospital, to rejecting association with a well-known and predatorial teacher, to being a support for his community in New Mexico, James gives a fun, honest, and interesting interview. Please enjoy

    On a Move: Part 2

    In my interview with Mike Africa Jr, we talk about grief, we reluctantly and briefly talk about Trump, we talk about the uprising, and the pressure that we need to continue to apply to the system. He says that some don't want to take action in the revolution, because they feel it has to be radical, when really, it is quite simple. We know what is Right within ourselves, and we need Unity! For information on how to support Mike Africa Jr's revolutionary work, go to mikeafricajr.com. Thank you for listening.

    There are Not Enough Crystals for This

    Part 3 of a 9 part segment on the theme 'Language', Dawn talks about how voting for or against our emotions limits the ways we can understand them, and thereby limits the ways they can help us. She interviews Pyschologist, Dr. Nicole Helverson, about the effects of trauma on the brain and why language is limited for a person working to heal from traumatic experiences.

    Before the tongue, when we looked to the stars

    Part 1 of a 9 part series, dedicated to language. Talking is not our first language. In fact, humans existed for thousands of years before language, as we know it, was formed. Dawn shares a bit more from The Language of Emotions, by Karla McLaren, and the beautiful music of Senegalese Kora player, Youssoupha Sidibe, whose music is deeply infused with a longing for the full realization of divine love.
