    Growing Up Jewish and Arab in Colombia: Sonia Daccarett

    In this episode , we speak with author Sonia Daccarret about her memoir The Roots of a Guava Tree — a deeply personal exploration of childhood, identity, memory, and belonging . Growing up in Colombia in the 1980s, Sonia reflects on a life shaped by cultural hybridity, political change, and family history — with a Jewish mother and a Christian Palestinian father, and no single religious label to claim . She shares what it meant to come of age during a time of violence and transformation, and how revisiting her past through writing brought clarity, empathy, and peace . We explore the symbolism of the guava tree, the ethics of writing memoir, the power of inherited stories, and why preserving personal history matters — not just for writers, but for anyone seeking to better understand where they come from . This is a conversation about roots, memory, migration, and the quiet forces that shape our lives beneath the surface.

    Why Sound Helps You Relax When Nothing Else Does: Cherub Sanson

    What if sound could help you switch off, slow down, and reset your nervous system? In this episode of Undercurrent Stories, I'm joined by Cherub Sanson, sound healer and co-founder of the Academy of Integrated Sonic Medicine.  We explore why sound can calm the nervous system more quickly than many other well-being practices, how vibration influences stress, sleep, and focus, and why sound healing has moved from the margins into the mainstream. Drawing on science, lived experience, and ancient traditions, Cherub explains what sound healing actually is — and what it isn’t. The conversation looks at sound as a practical tool for modern life: accessible, non-verbal, and effective even for people who struggle with meditation. The episode ends with a short live sound meditation, giving listeners a direct experience of the ideas discussed.
