Shila, an Indian immigrant artist, reflects on her experiences in New York City while holding onto her deep connection to India. As she stands at the crossroads of two worlds, Shila navigates the complexities of cultural displacement, the evolving meaning of home, and the vulnerability of love.Through poetic monologue and the soulful echoes of India through her lens, Shila invites us into her inner world—a place of longing, resilience, and quiet strength. She questions societal expectations, confronts the isolation of being an outsider, and finds solace in the memories of her roots. Ragas Of The Rooted Heart is a tender exploration of what it means to create a life, a home, and a sense of belonging in an unfamiliar land, all while staying open to love and the unknown.CAST Shila - Tanvi JhansiSaheba - Prashant TiwariImmigration Officer - Jacob BrandtLinda - Pearl RheinKaren - Amanda NaughtonBlack Women Officer / Joan - Whitney AndrewsPapa - Rahul Dodwani Playwright - Sneha SakhareDirector - Cloteal L.

Following a first degree at Melbourne University and an early career in teaching, he studied theology in Cambridge, UK, where he remained, working as a teacher, religious educator and theologian.As a religious educator Hull was influenced by extensive study in the complimentary disciplines of psychology, anthropology, sociology and politics. He presented an inclusive and pluralistic religious education as a critically open study which he believed should be seen primarily as a ‘gift' to students' personal and intellectual development.In 1980, Hull lost his sight and for the last 35 years of his life was totally blind. He wrote extensively about the experience, including reflections on how blindness had changed and deepened his faith. His book, ‘Touching the Rock' was the basis for an award-winning film, ‘Notes on Blindness', which came out after his death.Support the showIf you enjoyed this week´s podcast, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

Her unique methodology brings one into the centre of one's voice and presence.Anyone who uses their voice, especially those in positions of great power, must first re-learn the foundational principles of breath work, body and vocal preparation, in order to have great presence and impact when speaking and listening. After working with Patsy, her clients experience a deep shift in their voice, presence, and breath and ultimately in areas of their professional and personal lives.Mentioned in this episodeEcosiaSupport the Show.If you enjoyed this week´s podcast, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts.
