You Are A Culture Keeper Podcast

Hello Culture Keepers, this is Deborah Axé from You Are A Culture Keeper Podcast. This is Part 2 of our talk today with Sloane Warren. She is an energy healer, manifestation coach & Qigong instructor along with her decades long career in Neuromuscular therapy. Sloane is also a multi hyphenate storyteller, where she has worked both in front & behind the camera for decades. She often co-mingles both industries as she guides entertainment industry professionals on their journeys to manifest what they want in their careers. Most recently, she even had a storyteller manifest an Oscar nomination within 9 days of their session with Sloane! Sloane truly believes that abundance is everyone's birthright & roadblocks are merely stepping stones to higher consciousness & growth.  What I love about this conversation is that we both share our favorite storytellers in the entertainment industry who are representing women, LatinX, BIPOC, & trans communities. These will all be listed in the show notes.  We share our vulnerability with something we have each dealt with. I talk about how we lost our family member, Carlos Fernandez to the hands of the Santa Rosa CA, police department. His case was taken to the Supreme Court  by the ACLU in an anti-taser lawsuit.  https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2005/08/10/aclu-begins-investigation-of-deaths-linked-to-stun-guns/ In light of the heartbreaking news in Buffalo & Texas, I am researching & (with every episode) am sharing resources on gun control, gun reform, wellness, & community mobilizing. It is time for our country to take a stand to protect our children & all people.  According to the BBC, “There were 1.5 million [Firearms deaths in the US] between 1968 and 2017 - that's higher than the number of soldiers killed in every US conflict since the American War for Independence in 1775. In 2020 alone, more than 45,000 Americans died at the end of a barrel of a gun, whether by homicide or suicide, more than any other year on record. The figure represents a 25% increase from five years prior, and a 43% increase from 2010.” Guess which country has the most firearms per capita in the world? The US with over 120 firearms for every 100 residents. Guess who rates second in the world? -Yemen with less than half at 52.8 firearms for every 100 residents. Guess who doesn't make the top 10 in the world? Mexico! Guess who does, Canada with 34.7 firearms per 100 residents. So why the fascination with a wall again, dear politicians?  https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41488081 (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41488081) A Boston University article, full of 25 years of national statistics on gun reform impact, exposes the % of crime reduction after gun reform laws are in place.

Hey Culture Keepers! This is part 2 of our Oscars Episode with Adrianne Gunn and it's sooo good! This is your host, Deborah Axé of You Are A Culture Keeper Podcast. So, what do you all think? Is it time for comedy upgrade? Yes, to being raunchy, yes to crying with laughter. But, do we need to roast people without their consent? Why in particular are we roasting black women?  We define cognitive dissonance which is a flaw in our thinking that is often the #1 culprit that contributes to racism. An example of Cognitive Dissonance is also when 80% of Americans polled claimed to be environmentalists, but we all still drive cars. It's when people think their heart is in the right place, but they do nothing to examine white privilege or change policies that would stop police brutality against people of color. We talk about how Hollywood sells monogamy when many of their famous couples are polyamorous.  Adrianne shares the origins of whiteness & how race is a social construct. Meaning, is it possible that the concept of race was invented in order to serve colonisers? Yep. So, how we can we vision something different?  Maslow's Hierarchy of human Needs is actually upside down, & omitted the importance of community. Was jacked from The Blackfoot Nation.  https://shanesafir.com/2020/12/before-maslows-hierarchy-the-whitewashing-of-indigenous-knowledge/ (https://shanesafir.com/2020/12/before-maslows-hierarchy-the-whitewashing-of-indigenous-knowledge/) We share some comics that we love that are still hilarious but have elevated their humor beyond the roasting culture bs we hear all to often that contributed to the Oscars going haywire.  Tune into episode 15 in which Adrianne Gunn reads her post about the Oscars. To date this single post has 7.5k likes & 6.4k shares. We will continue this conversation next episode as we unpack the impact & how we can integrate this conversation in being more thoughtful in our response to systemic racism, gender roles, & being a solid ally in this more intimately connected world. https://player.captivate.fm/episode/eb36f7a7-4285-49c2-a933-1b3f710f9a01 (https://player.captivate.fm/episode/eb36f7a7-4285-49c2-a933-1b3f710f9a01) Subscribe to You Are A Culture Keeper on your favorite platform, to get the next episode as soon as it drops each Friday.

Hello Beautiful Culture Keepers! This is Deborah Axé with You Are A Culture Keeper Podcast. Can we call upon mythology to change the course of gentrification? Do you have experiences that keep repeating in your life? Do you get the feeling you are not living in the right city? There's a reason for that. Our guest today, Craig Chalquist is a professor of depth psychology at CIIS (California Institute of Integral Studies) in San Francisco, Ca. He is a leader in Personal Mythology & EcoPsychology (the psychology of place.) He has presented at various Jungian institutes, written & co-authored several books. Some of my favorites are listed here: Craig Chalquist, Ph.D. is a depth psychologist and storyteller with a background in Family Systems Therapy. He teaches at the California Institute of Integral Studies and at Pacifica Graduate Institute, where he was formerly the associate provost. He has also His interests include: storytelling, depth psychology, terra psychology and presence of place, ecopsychology and enchantivism and deep systemic change. Before you make the mistake of thinking that these ideas are lofty academia, keep in mind that Craig spent 6 years leading therapy groups in prisons for men who had committed violent crimes. So his feet are firmly on the ground.  So he tells us how to spot a narcissist from experience. His online course on Narcissists, starts April 13, so get on it, in the show notes. Here's where we can learn how to protect ourselves from their prevalence in our society.  Craig Chalquist Narcissists Course: https://jungplatform.com/teacher/craig-chalquist (https://jungplatform.com/teacher/craig-chalquist) Get on his Weekly Newsletter & visit his website: Chalquist.com  What do you all think about having a sociopath test for politicians before they run for office?

I'm teaching A Singing Workshop! Deborah, here; many listeners know that I teach private music coaching. I'll be teaching my special Move Your Voice workshop at Phoenix Rising Festival in the California Desert June 16-19.

How is your soul doing today in these strange times, Culture Keepers? I'm your host, Deborah Axé, of You Are A Culture Keeper Podcast. I'm going to start with a true story. One year ago I was introduced to the work of Isabelle Tierney by being invited to attend her Feel Good Life Challenge. I was going through a confusing breakup, pivoting my career, (like so many during the pandemic), & had just moved across the entire state of California 9 hours away from friends & family. Even though I had studied to be a therapist, I was living in the yellow zone, & addicted to the stress hormone, cortisol without even realizing it.  So, I was really struggling, & my friend Kiki sends me this invitation for a free workshop, which I ignored for 5 days! I reluctantly join, bc everyone seems so dang happy! But in 30 minutes I know this is exactly what I needed ‘cause they were all so real about the level of stress they too were recovering from. In a few days of Isabelle Tierney's workshop, I learned the keys to self regulation, & her teachings profoundly turned my life around. I went on to take 3 more workshops with Isabelle & now take private coaching with her. I am so grateful to her decades of knowledge on how to short-circuit healing in a way that is deeply lasting. I have mentioned her work in every episode so far, not because I am a groupie, but because her work is so easy to apply & her vision is so profound. She truly has a global vision for folkx around the world to learn to live with Bliss on Earth… In light of the recent events unfolding at the 2022 Oscars, it becomes apparent how important this work is on self regulation. It was really important to me to provide this info for free. As an ally, I want more communities to have access to these extremely effective tools that can otherwise cost resources of time & money to acquire. I have researched what works for years, & this is the best I have found especially when we are in the middle of a trigger & our brains shut down. Real Talk: We have all been as angry as Will Smith was that evening at the Oscars. We have all wanted to protect someone we love.

One of the things that sets our guest Jessica Carter apart is that she is that she takes an embodied approach to every business that she has created. Join me, Deborah Axé on You Are A Culture Keeper Podcast in conversation about how to bring empathy & other Feminine Business Practices to "slay in a good way" in your creative business. She cohosts a podcast with Paula Castillo called Should I Stay Or Should I Grow about navigating career & other changes in your life. In 2010 Jessica Carter was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease. Doctors tried for 4 years to get her blood work into the normal range with no success. She started researching natural options & was able to put her autoimmune disease into remission. She started helping others achieve their health goals with quality essential oils and supplements. She realized she desired more than working at a 9 to 5 job, so she left after 15 years of teaching music, to pursue her calling. In a short time, she created a multimillion dollar business. It's her passion to empower other women to achieve their deepest desires too.  Jessica is a 500hr registered yoga teacher, essential oil specialist, army veteran, mindfulness coach, retreat leader & career coach. She created a trademarked yoga system, ōmmYōga, that helps individuals release any negative emotions or trauma stored in the body. She wrote two Amazon #1 Best Sellers, ōmmYōga and ōmmYōga Kids.  We took a break last week to take a brief vacation & line up this episode as well as several other heavy hitters including: Isabelle Tierney on Self Regulation, & Craig Chalquist on Mythology, Academia & Terrapsychology (The Psychology of Place.)

This is your host, Deborah Axé of You Are A Culture Keeper Podcast. Our wonderful guest today is Jasmine Miles who is a student leader at SDSU & in her 6th year now. She is working on her Masters in Science & Counselling with a focus on Social justice education, & Multicultural community counselling. She is interested in how both she & community can heal. Community Based Block Social Justice & Community Justice Counselling have been huge impacts in her sense of community. She is a Poet, & fella Pisces Queen. She shares how her birthday was more introspective this year. How trauma affects our negative self talk & her journey in learning self care. We bond on the loss of beloved family members & recovering. Grief anniversaries & how everyone grieves differently & that is ok. She says the most beautiful statement & that  is: “I hold more than happiness & joy.” Such wisdom in this young body with an old soul.  We unpack the lack of support that communities of color have in this country & how two layers of support are essential to community wellness. We all know that race is a social construct. So we all get to support each other in decolonizing ourselves. We all have different layers of privilege or lack of privilege so we can connect on being the best humyns we can be.  Stay in touch with Jasmine on Instagram: @vocalize.jay Check out Jasmine's poem: America Had A Dream 2.0  We are still new, just launched in Jan. 2022, so if you like what we are doing, please drop a link in a friend's inbox, & share a stellar rating. If you want to say hello, have any requests or feedback, please reach us on Instagram @soundmundo   We want to give a huge shout out to Stephanie Osuocha who leads an really fun AfroBeats & LatinX dance class at Mission Bay in San Diego every Sunday at 11am.

To your health, Culture Keepers! This is your host, Deborah Axé of You Are A Culture Keeper Podcast. It's just you & me today, friends. I was sick with Covid for at least 10 days, tested negative & took about a month to recover fully. I lost my sense of smell for about 10 days, had a lingering cough & finally had to surrender & realize that Covid is a teacher. Once I accept that I suffer less in the healing process. I meditated on the several days of agitation that I have been feeling around COVID, & I realized that I was so in my head. I had such monkey mind going on, trying to catch up, releasing the podcast episodes after being sick. And that I was not being in my body. About a third of the way through my hatha yoga practice this morning I realised how agitated I was with random thoughts of all the things I needed to do, & all the people I need to reach out to. I realised that I wasn't in my body (& my body is my favorite place to be.) Somehow as the after-effects of COVID were lingering in my body, I gave myself the message that my body is not a safe place to be right now. Because sometimes my lungs are tight, & sometimes they are not & I don't know what to expect from my body. It feel inconsistent & inconsistency is something that I enjoy but it's something that I also fight in my life. I think meditating on consistency is going to be the next message. If we document our epiphanies, then more come, when we are in an open state of mind. When our pineal gland is activated instead of the limbic system that's a more enjoyable place to be in. When the pineal gland is activated, we are in a state of bliss & we have sudden realisations which is the definition of an epiphany. We have the epiphanies in plural; they come one right after the other. When the limbic system is activated we are essentially shutting out 95% of the world around us. When we're overwhelmed the shutting down of the mind is probably beneficial. There's probably a biological reason for it, but I can tell you it's a lot more enjoyable to be in the body & be calm & present in the pineal gland instead. Where we have opened to the world, but we have also learned to be simultaneously calm & non-reactive to the world. It's a strange dichotomy isn't it, to be more open to the world & calmer & non-reactive to it. So, earlier in my healing process, I was meditating on this agitation that I feel too. Actually it was presenting more as boredom. It's interesting because COVID is giving me the opportunity to comb through all the shadow thoughts that I have. So many teachings which I share with you all here.

Join our network for parties, events & get your free giveaways when we drop it like it's hot: YouAreACultureKeeper.com will be adding workshops & membership soon! Hello Beautiful Culture Keeper Community. I am so fired up today. I just got through covid. I'm feeling new life in me, new energy. I faced some fears of mortality & I'm so excited to share this episode with you. So much that we've broken it up into 2 episodes. Our Guest today on YAACK, is Sulaiman Hyatt. He is a beautiful humyn & father of a beautiful child. He is also an incredible activist. He organises tenants specifically in public housing. He has a heavy focus on communities, which have been impacted generationally with violence & oppression. He focuses on transformative justice & violence prevention. He works for the Housing Rights Committee of San Francisco. But today, we're actually going to talk about sex. We are even going to mention cancel culture a bit. I just really have been excited to share this episode with you. There's a lot of conversations that need to happen around sex & even consent around touch. Simple things like, "hey may I give you a hug," during covid season. We've really learned better communication around consent. I just wanted to expand the word because there's a lot of people who have never heard this word before in relation to touch. But it also can expand into things like, "Hey, may I have this difficult conversation with you right now? Do you have the time or energy for this right now? Or would another day be better for you?" So it's around self regulation & it's around, how do we talk about consent when we are being sexual with each other. It's also really helpful information around dating. There might be some cutie you've had your eye on & you're wondering why the communication doesn't flow better. Chances are that there's something around consent communication that you can learn that'll really increase your chances of dating the person that you're interested in.  I also want to share that I have learned so much from my friendship with Sulaiman around dating & what we women are worth as a result of our many conversations around consent, clear communication, & touch. We start out with critiquing lyrics to hip hop & R&B songs. We get into the nitty gritty of how to talk about sex.  Stay in touch with Sulaiman Hyatt: Instagram: @sulaimanhyatt Facebook/ Meta: sulaiman.hyatt https://www.facebook.com/sulaiman.hyatt (https://www.facebook.com/sulaiman.hyatt) #Sex #Consent #Dating #CancelCulture #ManEnough #NonviolentCommunication #Psychology #ToxicMusic #R&B #Playlist #Music #Privilege #Friends #LakeMerritt #LakeMerrittDance #DanceParty #ConsentCulture #OaklandActivists #BIPOC #TransRights #HumanRights #TenantRights #PublicHousing #TenantOrganizer #TouchConsent #HugConsent #HugPermission #ClearCommunication #CommunityBuilding #CommunityOrganising #Community #ArtCommunity #ActivistCommunity #snowflakes #TransformativeJustice #ViolencePrevention #CulturePodcast #ArtPodcast #HousingRights #Covid #WhiteSaviorSyndrome #WhiteKnightSyndrome #Ally #Allies #MeToo #MaleFeminist #ToxicPornography #Valentine'sDay #VDay #ValentinesDay #ValentinesDay2022 #Cypher #AfricanAmerican #Mental #Health #Black #BlackHistoryMonth Special Thanks to our Sound Guru: Paul Lamb NoodlePaul12@hotmail.com At Rue Henry Studio in Cotati, CA. in Cotati, CA And Web Support & Media Rockstar: Wendy Garcia! https://my.captivate.fm/dashboard/podcast/wendygarcia.net (wendygarcia.net) Original Music by Deborah Axé.  Track: Eventually

Hey Culture Keepers! Today's guest on You Are A Culture Keeper Podcast is the fabulous Alicia Touch! She is an Oakland based visual artist, & mentor who works with Resin acrylic pour. She creates beautiful jewelry that includes crystal earrings & precious stones.  Her artistic journey was deepened by a near death auto accident. Her work is deeply aligned with the spiritual journey that she has done as a result & as a form of therapy. One of the things I love about her work is that she is incredible at recreating really organic, natural looking crystal scapes on canvas. Her vibe promotes healing physically through art, poetry, & her original music. She is really wonderful at mobilizing people with Pop-up art parties, producing events in both Bay Area & LA that include, visual artists, djs, body paint, dancing, fashion, & multi-media art. She is also an amazing advocate, mentoring artists to believe in themselves.  She actively supports them in launching, starting with their first art exhibits.  We talk about how competition in the arts is so outdated & has no room in the new paradigm. But first, let's start with how she had the courage to quit her day job & start her own artistic career.  Follow her on IG @alicia.touch.art https://www.instagram.com/alicia.touch.art/?utm_medium=copy_link (https://www.instagram.com/alicia.touch.art/?utm_medium=copy_link) Find her art on Etsy at ATouchArt: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ATouchArt (https://www.etsy.com/shop/ATouchArt) Special Thanks to our Sound Guru: Paul Lamb Studios in Cotati, CA And Web Support & Media Rockstar: Wendy Garcia!

We talk about the compromises we sometimes face as commercial versus independent artists. We acknowledge stigmas around mental health in the African American communities. We share some next level tips around self care, including not meditating or journalling when you're upset, but instead moving your body in the gym, or on the dance floor.)

Hi, everybody, this is Deborah Axé & I'm the host of “You Are A Culture Keeper” podcast. With weekly conversations with musicians, activists, & artists exploring what it means to be a Culture Keeper.  These are thought leaders who are helping humanity evolve by speaking about social change in a language that is more palatable than politics. It's also a call to action for each one of us to consider how we can be Culture Keepers & Allies in our lives.  So years ago, I attended an epic party in San Francisco. That changed my life. Our Brazilian percussion troupe was invited to perform. The host was an Immigration lawyer who counteracted gentrification by supporting diverse artists & advocating for their right to be in this country.  So, in one room there was a dj playing funk & soul & we were all dancing like no one was watching. Our samba troupe performed in the backyard, & upstairs was this incredible grand room with a mic set up & people from all over the world & all languages were getting up on the mic & sharing their beauty. There were hip hop artists, poets, comedians, songwriters & people singing in Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, & Turkish.  And at one point the host got on the mic and said, “ thank you all for being here. Thank you for sharing your creativity & your magic. Every single one of you in this home is a culture keeper. Please Keep it up, cause we need you.  And boom, I had a name for who I am. Beyond being an ally, I am also a Culture Keeper & this became my call to action in this lifetime.  So join us weekly at You Are A Culture Keeper podcast where we will explore identity, music, unpacking privilege, women & BIPOC communities in the arts & more surprises that we get to learn about & explore together! We launch Jan. 1, 2021 just in time for NY resolutions, but visit us beforehand for some early fan episodes & juicy give aways…  youareaculturekeeper.com Original Music by Deborah Axé.  Track: Eventually #gentrification #culture #arts #music #BIPOC #LGBTQ+ #allies #ally #SocialJustice #ArtPodcast #CulturePodcast #MusicPodcast #Identity #musician Special Thanks to our Sound Guru: Paul Lamb NoodlePaul12@hotmail.com At Rue Henry Studio in Cotati, CA.
