Together they explore the festival's theme ‘We Are Love' by sharing their wealth of personal experiences of grounding into different aspects of love. They bring alive vibrant ideas around how we can love ourselves and each other wholeheartedly. We explore: :: rituals of love & connection as ecological salvation :: the power of dance & singing with nature as embodied experiences of love :: compassion for ourselves, each other including those whom might hold entirely different world views to our own :: examples of daily practices of how to befriend ourselves & how protect our vulnerability whilst openly sharing our love Links from this episode and more at allthatweare.org    

This week I'm joined by Belfast GP Susan Buchanan to discuss Bruce Parry and Oprah Winfrey's bestselling book What Happened to You.This is an accessible and engaging book written in the format of stories and conversations between Dr Parry and Oprah which means that a lot of complex and deep information is made really clear and easy to follow.This is a book all about ACEs and why they matter but is also full of hope and kindness.  It's one that has made me a better doctor and one I would absolutely recommend to some patients too

Bruce Parry is on a mission to shine light on something that could radically change our economic and social system, but is it too late? In this wonderful conversation we attempt to tackle some big topics and lean into Bruce's experience living with different tribes of the world. He explores the different ways that humans relate to nature and how this influences the way we create our societies.

In this episode, we explore what we can Learn about Nature and Connection from Indigenous tribes. Indigenous tribes around the world have a deep connection to nature, which they often regard as a source of wisdom and spirituality. This connection is reflected in their spiritual practices, ceremonies, and beliefs. Through studying Indigenous cultures, we can learn that nature is an essential part of our lives and that we are all connected to it. We can learn to respect and appreciate the natural environment and to recognize the importance of living in harmony with it. Additionally, Indigenous tribes teach us that connection to each other and to the land is essential for our spiritual and physical wellbeing. We can learn to honor and value our relationships with each other and with the natural world. Bruce Parry is English documentarian, indigenous rights advocate, author, explorer, trek leader and former Royal Marines commando officer. He employs an ethnographic style and a form of participant observation for his documentaries.[1] His documentary series for the BBC entitled Tribe,[2] Amazon,[3] and Arctic[4] have shown Parry exploring extreme environments, living with remote indigenous peoples and highlighting many of the important issues being faced on the environmental frontline. Since finishing Arctic for the BBC, Parry directed and produced his debut feature documentary for the big screen, TAWAI – A voice from the forest, released in 2017. The film takes a deeper look into some of the issues touched upon within his television programmes and the personal lessons which he has learnt from his explorations.

Here is a short overview of the 30th RNCM Day of Percussion, i have been lucky enough to have attended most of these days, i have witnessed some remarkable performances over the years and made lots of great friends along the way. The video features clips of performances by Paul Patrick (principle percussionts with the BBC Philarmonic) Plus a segment featuring some incredible talented RNCM Students. Pipe Band legend Jim Kilpatrick - MBE alongside the fabulous Rachel Thom. Dave Hassel, Chris Manis & Saxophonist Andy Scott. The incomporable Ash Soan. it also features interviews with Jim Kilpatrick, Rachel Thom, Matt Nolan (Matt Nolan Cymbals) and Bruce Parry from Sabian Cymbals. I really want to spread awareness about this great day as it is remarkably good value for money at £26.00 for the whole day and the evening concert. it is usually on the first Sunday in February, please check the RNCM website though before making the journey www.rncm.ac.ukThis will make more sense on my Youtube channel.the first clip is Paul Patrick and some RNCM studentsnext is Jim Kilpatrick and Rachel Thomnext two clips are Dave Hassell, Chris Manis and Andy Scottthe last 3 short clips are Ash Soan.

We are honored to welcome the filmmaker and a friend, Bruce Parry to the Mangu.tv podcast. He is best known for his award-winning documentaries. We had the pleasure of working with him on “Tawai: Voice From The Forest” which followed after a considerable amount of time of living with and learning from indigenous and remote cultures around the world. After witnessing so many remote people struggling with the effects of globalization and climate change, he left his work at BBC, and directed feature documentaries about the human loss of connection to nature and the effect this has had globally. He has become an expert in regeneration after living closely with a few egalitarian societies that have managed to preserve their connection to their environment. Bruce takes us on an incredible adventure in this podcast episode, starting with his early years as a Royal Marine. He shares the deeply personal experiences in life that were catalysts for change and awakening, from falling in love to psychedelic mushrooms and Iboga, all of which led to living with the indigenous tribes around the world. All of these pivotal experiences deepened his capacity to listen, learn and realize the impact he had on the world. Giancarlo and Bruce discuss the importance of building trust as a formative for creating healthy societies. Examining freedom and individualism through a different lens is imperative for gaining a better understanding of our ancestry so we can create a better future.

She led the North Mason School District in creating systems for proactive Behavior Support, and she currently serves as the MTS, spb is behavior coach for the Pioneer School District. Her role includes leading trauma-informed, practices and designing multi-tiered systems of support as a brain aligned, social emotional learning consultant. She teaches Educators to use the applied educational Neuroscience framework to create authentic regulation and Readiness for learning by designing. Sensory friendly learning environments and experiences. That is a whole lot of big words and titles, which were going to unpack together. But first back to Laura Lee's childhood dream of being a teacher.    Laura Lee Smith: [00:02:54] I remember being a kid setting up each of my rooms in my house as different subjects and when you came to my house to play, we played school and it coincidental totally of course, it kind of makes this whole full loop. I remember at the beginning of this pandemic. I was like this feels like I'm going back to my childhood again as I'm setting up This learning experience for my seven-year-old daughter at home.    Kristi Hemingway: [00:03:15] That is hilarious that you put content areas in the different rooms of your house. It's always lovely to Hear that someone went into the teaching profession because they had such good teachers.    Laura Lee Smith: [00:03:29] I've had the gift of 15 years in a classroom and every single one of those students have made an impact on me, and I'm grateful for that. And I hope that I've made the same impact for them.    Kristi Hemingway: [00:03:39]  Laura Lee Eventually became an instructional coach in order to help other teachers create that same kind of learning environment. She now draws on that coaching experience as a consultant helping teachers and districts move toward more. More inclusionary practices. This drive and passion was born out of 2  key life experiences.    Laura Lee Smith: [00:04:01] I was in a traumatic car accident. When I was 20 years old, I suffered a traumatic brain injury and I had to experience what it was like to relearn how to learn and I did not know that there was more than one way to learn. I always thought that my effort was what equated my success in school until I learned that what I was doing before my traumatic brain injury was no longer working. I was in my freshman year of college when that happened and that just gave me more drive to be a better educator. I wanted to be able to lean into at that time What I thought was neurodiversity    Kristi Hemingway: [00:04:43] Laura Lee focused her master's thesis on learning for all Learners multiple intelligences, learning styles and integrative experience has her biggest motivation to move this field forward came in 2013.    Laura Lee Smith: [00:04:58] I had my beautiful daughter and she was diagnosed with sensory processing disorder. So the door opened again of how much I didn't know. So I've also very much learned as an educator as I started to apply some of her accommodations that she needed in my own classroom and saw the radical change of more regulated learners. More self-aware and supportive students. I was just like, okay,    Kristi Hemingway: [00:05:28] So I'm curious if you can make it more explicit for me and for our listeners, what those kinds of accommodations look like. And what neurodiverse, learning, what, what differentiates, it. I mean, right now there's a lot of focus on trauma. Informed instruction and social-emotional learning. How does this act or overlay those practices?   Laura Lee Smith: [00:05:56] I think it's really important for us as humans. Not just Educators to really understand that term neurodiversity. And so, I want to start with just finding a neurotypical. That might be a starting point for that. And neurotypical is typically an individual who's not affected by a developmental disorder and Exhibits, typical neurological development. And as Educators, we can often name this as that. At midline in our data points, where we feel that. Okay. This is where most of my students seem to fall. And now to Define neurodiversity, which is much more. It's a rich definition. There's so many things that are still unfolding for this because it's still a new Neuroscience terminology. And so the basic definition of neurodiversity is the variation in brain functioning within the human. And so there's a beautiful statement that I have written here. What's really valuable to me is different people think differently and it's not just because of their differences in culture or life experiences, but it's because their brains are wired to work differently. And so it is a word that Embraces all of the neurological uniqueness, all rhythms of neurodevelopment and all the forms by which humans can express themselves and contribute to the world.    Kristi Hemingway: [00:07:22] Would it be that there's a spectrum like the autism spectrum that there's also a neurodiversity or neurodivergent spectrum that students are on and can we assume that we probably have a lot more neurodiverse or neurodivergent Learners in our classrooms. Then we recognize or then have been labeled or identified.    Laura Lee Smith: [00:07:47]  Oh, that's beautiful. I would say, I think that's a great conclusion in this. That's what I hear when you say this also, it's kind of like the onion in a sense. I want to think about layers to this too because you asked the question about trauma-informed and all of the different kinds of systems in the things that we're getting to know about our students and selves, and so, I truly feel like it's layers. And again, if That's what makes it complex. But the more that we can understand what those layers are in itself. The more I feel it will be like a blanket of support rather than a stressor of identifiers.    Kristi Hemingway: [00:08:30] You talked about this idea that we all learn differently and we all need different modalities. So, is that what neurodiverse instruction looks like is just providing multiple modalities for students?    Laura Lee Smith: [00:08:46] I love that question because it leads me directly to thinking about how Universal Design for Learning is a framework that will help identify those different modalities and those different needs Universal Design for Learning. It's a neuroscience approach that really helps us with just the structure in the framework and itself, it creates accessibility and being able to create those different modalities. And what that looks like to me is, is it? In a learning experience, some of us prefer to sit in a nice comfy chair. Some of us prefer to stand to process its base, you know, think about how you process your learning. What helps you be most engaged and engagement may look like. Again, like I'm just saying going back to standing and writing or the sitting crisscross and you know, having a clipboard or whatever. That looks like. It is adaptable to what brings them most engagement. And so I think of my daughter here for a moment and her neurodiversity if she has to sit in a chair and sit and get she doesn't hear the words. The teacher is saying because her nervous system is paying attention to the fact that she has to stay still and when she stands up, this is one of her accommodations when she stands up and is able to even walk in circles, when she's explaining something in front of the class. She can tell you the most rich and dense story and summary to all of her learning. It's such a beautiful thing. And in my mind, I'm thinking, of course, we go to the traditional classroom and think what are the other kids going to think about that? What are the other? How are the other kids going to process what's happening for her, but this is where I think there's that beauty and having that shared understanding of what diversity looks like, in a new way, is to say the kids are going to go. She's processing her learning.  She's using her thinking. It's not that. What is she doing? Oh, my gosh. Why is she walking in circles? So just to change that Dynamic and itself in recognizing that we all have different needs. As we are processing or information representing our learning. And again, I want to go back to the fact that I think udl is the beautiful framework that can create that for our Educators.    Kristi Hemingway: [00:11:09] So, how did that look in your classroom? What were some of the things that You did to accommodate all of those different kinds of Learners in your classroom.    Laura Lee Smith: [00:11:21] Oh my gosh, and that's the evolution of education and evolution of instruction because truly, an absolutely each group of students got had a different makeup of what that looks like this. So I'm going to go back to my last and most recent non virtual classroom, and it looked in the sense that the first Of universal strategy that I had was to have a conversation. I made sure that we as a class understood Nervous System Dynamics. I made sure that we had lessons on brain science and so that we were able to identify the behaviors and accommodations that were needed for each as being that and not as an entitlement or a distraction. And so we definitely absolutely had a menu of options. We use the zones of Regulation. That sounds of Regulation. Where is a really good color Dynamic for us to be able to refer to its again? Using that self-awareness of like I'm noticing that I'm fidgeting with my pen and I'm not doing my work. Maybe I need to stand up and just you know, give me they gave me like a I think it was the 3 nonverbal signal of. I'm eating a brain break or a breath break. And so when they did that, if they walked around the classroom and didn't disrupt any of the other learning experiences and they came back to their learning. They have a successful accommodation for themselves and it took exploration. It took experimentation, but setting that precedents in that if this is not interrupting other Learners, if this is helping you focus, then you are choosing to use the right tool for you to be able to be successful. That was our beautiful community.    Kristi Hemingway: [00:13:09] For those listeners unfamiliar with the zones of Regulation. It's a framework and curriculum developed by occupational Therapist, Leah Kypers, it helps students. Develop awareness of internal States and to identify emotions. They learn to use a variety of strategies and tools for regulations, self-care, pro-social skills and overall wellness. It's pretty much what all of us in our 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s are working on in therapy. Each of the zones is color-coded.    Laura Lee Smith: [00:13:39] The green zone is really where you want to be and that green zone represents your regulated. You're ready to learn. You're comfortable. You're rested your Well, like, I'll in everyone's green box kind of can be described in a different way. You know, when you're in your flow.   Kristi Hemingway: [00:13:55]  It's for you to figure out which zone you're in based on the descriptors.    Laura Lee Smith: [00:13:59] Yeah. Okay. Absolutely. Thank you for that clarification. Because absolutely. Yes, I can't say. I can't look at you right now and go. You're in the green zone.   Kristi Hemingway: [00:14:06] Yeah. Because you can see I    Laura Lee Smith: [00:14:08] Because you can see I  mean Of course, behaviors can demonstrate that? You know, my    Kristi Hemingway: [00:14:11] order time in? Okay,    Laura Lee Smith: [00:14:14] and with the green zone, there's the variances. Of course. The Blue zone is when you're kind of more tired and you're just need a little bit more of a, you know, kind of an ump to get you into the green zone. And the yellow zone is like, you're starting to kind of escalate your kind of feeling like you're agitated or your irritated, where the red zone is the zone that you want to visit the least. We don't want to act like there is Red Zone, but we want to make sure that you know, you visited the least and you are actively trying to get back to the green zone and the red zone as you can probably guess is the Zone where you're angry or you're frustrated, you're feeling out of control of your behavior a little bit more and you need to try to gain that Center of control. So that's sums up Regulation.    Kristi Hemingway: [00:14:57] Yeah, so that's helpful and it gives students words around what they're experiencing and it normalizes it for them. Like we're all in the Red Zone sometimes. And it's Okay, you talk about helping students and supporting Learners to get to their cortex. What do you mean by that?    Laura Lee Smith: [00:15:18] So, you know, when you get in the flow, this is kind of a great connection to the green zone that we're talking about here. So I guess think about in that green zone again. So when you know, when you get in your flow, and you could be when you're reading a book, you're just focusing on that one thing and you're just caught in that mix and you're just getting so much joy from it. What created that for you? Where you rested? Were you comfortable? were you feeling regulated connected to What you're doing? You zone out all the sensory triggers around. You like, you don't hear your dog barking behind you or you don't hear anything and that is because you have your highway to your cortex. You have access to your learning and your reasoning brain because you're not emotionally triggered. Your basic needs are Met. And so we want to, I want to support Learners get to their cortex feel those fields of Engagement authentically regularly and when they need it most and the way that I explain this kind of it matches with Bruce Parry, he is a researcher behind what he calls the neuro sequential model and it explores how our brain communicates from the bottom up. So, our reasoning part of our brain is actually the last place of our brain to get the information, your brain stem, which is the bottom of our brain, that's linked to our nervous system. It actually gets its input of information from our sensory systems and because of that, it's critical to understand how our senses are providing input to our nervous system and brain. So we can have, I want to say, control over it or awareness over it so that we can again, create the Highways, and not have these barriers because these sensory stimulus or sensory triggers are getting in the way of that. And so essentially getting to the cortex is about teaching the brain and teaching about the brain and interweaving that knowledge and our Reflections and our interactions and our engagement.    Kristi Hemingway: [00:17:29] So it's really about each learner figuring out what they need and their own ways of learning best and their own ways of being comfortable. And being able to maximize their own learning.    Laura Lee Smith: [00:17:43] Absolutely. And I think that all of us want to build that resiliency and lifelong learners ness and that capacity to take on adversity and challenged by the like on their own. That's our investment as Educators for our students   Floreo: [00:17:50] Helping students find ways to maximize their own learning, sometimes, requires Innovative tools like the virtual reality platform from Floreo creative for students with autism spectrum disorder.  This is Vijay. I'm a father of a child with ASD and the founder of Floreo. A virtual reality platform for teaching social communication and independent living skills. We're proud to sponsor this episode of The EdCuration podcast at Floreo. We Empower neuro-diverse students that giving them an environment that is safe, controllable, repeatable and dignified in which to practice the skills that will make their lives more fulfilling and enriched. You'll  find Floreo this highly effective and easy to implement tool at EdCuration.com.    Kristi Hemingway: [00:18:37] One of the neuro-diverse challenges that we will see, probably in our students, is the challenge that your daughter has, which is the sensory processing disorder, which seems to me like, this is a fairly recent diagnosis. It's not something that I learned about or that we talked about when I was actually going through teacher training.  it was not one of the things that we accommodated for it wasn't something that we really had a label for or understood. I don't think maybe you can correct me on how long we've known about sensory processing disorders, but it impacts learning and I'm curious how it impacts learning and how to create a more friendly environment for students with that particular Challenge.    Laura Lee Smith: [00:19:35] And I have to say that this is I feel like sensory Processing is a very new science, very new descriptive and I did not learn about it in any of my schooling at this. The knowledge that I've gained in application in my educational career has come from seeking to understand how to best support my child as well. And as an avid researcher, it just the alignment is just so beautiful and support to all Learners from any age, really, so, I'm advocating strongly for to somehow be a monk. It's the training for teachers as General Ed teachers as well. You know, you get that book. The things that they didn't teach you in college. Yeah kind of one of those lessons that I feel like the things that they didn't teach you in college.    Kristi Hemingway: [00:20:20] Well, and I'm way older than you but I'm not sure. Anybody knew about it when I was in college or they just didn't have a name for it.   Laura Lee Smith: [00:20:28]  And Neuroscience is such a growing again and growing science and it's just the way my mind. So to better describe. What sensory processing is a kind of in connection to that whole getting to the cortex idea is, again, that understanding that really, our brain stem is using our sensory organs, which is our eyes, our ears, our nose, and our taste to really process the level of danger and safety around us. That's like an automatic and automatic system that's going in process. And so to know that our senses are what's creating that chemical response in ourbody is to help us be more aware. It helps us be more aware of our environment and experiences like as humans and adults when our, when our blood pressure starts to rise or like a heartbeat starts to go a little faster. It's that whole like wait a minute. What's creating that for me right now. Is it that loud noise over here?  Is it My dog barking over here? Like recognizing that It's actually what we hear see taste and feel is what's creating that response for us. I think is foundational and We could teach our kids that stuff.    Kristi Hemingway: [00:21:40] You know, I know you weren't taught that way. I mean, we had to realize that as adults, that when we're starting to feel triggered to be able to stop and say, what what is happening for me right now. Why is it happening? Where is it coming from? Give myself permission to sit for a minute and think and breathe. I'm telling you, laura Lee  These are things that I have learned maybe in the past decade, right? Right, we were taught this and it wasn't modeled for us. So it's are learning as well.    Laura Lee Smith: [00:22:14] I love what you say there because there's a reality, you just were very clear about a true reality of There's a lot of unlearning. There's a lot of unlearning for us that are leading the way. And that's really vulnerable for us as Educators because we have to unlearn it while we're also teaching it. And we're doing that in many areas and education, but that's also a benefit to us. As we are teaching these skills to them. It's also helping us become and grow, you know, into a better human being.  Kristi Hemingway: [00:22:48]  So get really concrete with me for a minute and describe a sensory friendly learning environment. I mean, physically,    Laura Lee Smith: [00:22:57] so there is a beautiful description that starts with our awareness to be able to figure out what to do to create the sensory friendly learning environment as well as getting to know our students. And so when you go to a professional development session, what are you looking for to be authentically engaged? What do you do? Do you have your water bottle next to you? Do you have you know, are you sitting crisscross applesauce? Do you have your slippers on now, like our professional development sensory friendly environment for our engagement? Because again, it's for our engagement. We do different things that create sensory input that helps us be centered. And so in order to do this. For our students. I think it is very important for us to recognize like literally tomorrow or today when you walk into your classroom just look around and looking around to see putting yourself in that. The student situation of going are am I providing options for them to feel comfortable or sensory centered so that they are able to engage in their learning. And some of the look fors could be the lighting,The modality again, like you spoke of, are you only asking them to use a pencil at all times? Because sometimes having markers and sometimes having the dry erase markers or the pens, help them process and apply their learning. What am I asking them to do when they sit? Am I giving them variable options? And so when you walk into your classroom, think about, am I providing an environment for engagement based off of this sensory input for my children.   Kristi Hemingway: [00:24:41] That's a challenge. I mean, when you think about the average high school, there's nothing comfortable. Fluorescent lights. The rooms are cold or hot. The chairs are horrible. And most of the time students are asked to just sit for long periods of time. I mean, I think we're giving, we're being a little bit more intentional and were evolving and how we Design schools and learning spaces, but just economically, it's not that. You can rebuild every school and make it a friendly learning environment. And there's a lot of old school's out there and they're just not ,just so uncomfortable. You don't feel good when you walk in.    Laura Lee Smith: [00:25:24] No, and the unfortunate reality is, as it seems that if a teacher really wants to provide, shall we say flexible seating? It's at the cost of the teacher. It's not at the cost of the school and that's where again, I feel like In batting this approach needs to be developed within the system of support and if udl or the Universal Design for Learning is going to be as a core framework for a school district, as ours is becoming is it's really important to also say, well this cannot be this doesn't look the same as what the environment is designed for in this space. And so I want some, we need support for adaptability to that. Because again, it needs to be enhanced designed and not streamlined. Yeah, I think that it's streamlined right now.    Kristi Hemingway: [00:26:18] So Universal Design for Learning, say more about that,   Laura Lee Smith: [00:26:21]  Universal Design for Learning is to create accessibility for Learners based off of Engagement ,representation and action and expression. And so it's how they process their learning how they show their learning. And how they are engaged with their learning. And the process of that is, is you get to know the standard and you get to know the standard of the students are going for and you provide the variability for them to be able to meet that standard. So let's just say a social studies standard and they can choose to do a written report on it. A presentation. They could do a performance just in different ways for them to demonstrate their  learning and of course and the educator mind you go. Okay. How does, how do I create that? I would love to have that kind of idea, but that's where the focus is getting to know your standard as well as providing clear assessment rubrics to go along with that. And from there, having those two pieces. You can be able to create opportunity for your children, or  your students, to be able to perform and meet that standard. So the whole idea of teaching has been in metaphorical comparison. Is, you don't want to go to a dinner party That's just serving tuna casserole. Because this casserole because tuna casserole will only maybe make a couple people Happy people will still come but their enjoyment level are there actual engagement and take away. They're going to go home and stop, you know, stop along the way on the way home. Katie Novak explains that she's a key person in this whole process. That she says that instead of doing a tuna casserole, you do a buffet of Of options. And so, you know, you have a pasta bar and you have the different kinds of pastas, you know, whole wheat pasta, you know, this and have that option of being able to select to create your own experience. That's Universal Design for Learning.   Kristi Hemingway: [00:28:25] Thank you for clarifying that I think that'll be helpful. It's not something I knew much about. So can you talk about what kind of training and resources? Does a teacher need to be? Successful with neurodiverse Learners who maybe hasn't had the training and been able to do the amount of research that you've done, where can a teacher start?    Laura Lee Smith: [00:28:49] Well, I think the first place to start is the knowledge within your building and I say this because often times you do not get to learn from or intentionally collaborate with the special ed teachers. The occupational Therapist knows a lot of great things that can help generate. Neural Educators as well as the SLP this speech language pathologist. And so, my first thought is again, a systematic approach of intentionally planning for or in the schedule have that time in collaboration with those Specialists and not just with an IEP at the center of the meeting, just to create those again, Universal practices and choices for students. So that's my first thought, because they are rich with knowledge. I did a case study with some neurodivergent Learners and their parents, and I asked what their Edge, what they would want Educators to know as well. So asking within their like really collaborating with the students and the parents and families, because it's amazing what that they'll share. So, listen to the parents, because they are just like, myself engaged in wanting to give the best to there kiddos.    Kristi Hemingway: [00:30:06] I can imagine that it would be really a firming to any occupational therapist in any building to have a teacher come and say, hey, could you just come in my classroom? Give me a couple tips recommendations. What can I tweak? What can I fix to Just make it a more nurturing learning environment. For for all of my learner's, not only my neurodiverse ones that what's good for special needs kids is good for every kid. In addition to those tips, laura Lee offered some book recommendations. First on her list is the out of sync child By Carol crown of wits, it's full of tools, exercises, and intentional supports. Another is what happened to you by, Bruce parry and Oprah Winfrey. It's a conversation of trauma and resilience through Understanding of the nervous system. You'll find links to both of these books in the episode notes. I'm wondering if you can share a success story either from a student in your classroom, or maybe a teacher that you've worked with as a consultant.    Laura Lee Smith: [00:31:08] I have a story about a student that I had in my classroom, that forever changed me because I was able to see the progression of my practice and my evolution of implementation, so I'm going to do my best to explain the story without getting choked up.   Kristi Hemingway: [00:31:23] Honestly, I have teachers all the time who get really emotional sharing stories about their students and it's a reflection of how much we love them. Oh, feel free to cry.    Laura Lee Smith: [00:31:34] It's our heart work, isn't it? Not, we're definitely doing hard work, but there's definitely some heart In our work. Oh, so this dear child, she had developmental trauma. And so is this a fourth grade student And so she had learned to function with just the unfortunate stress response system. So what that looks like was, is that she would have unpredictable intense behavior, meltdowns in my classroom, like, everything would seemingly be fine and dandy and then All of a sudden it was throwing of chairs ,flipping of desks yelling and screaming and it just became obviously impacted the whole classroom environment and learning.    Kristi Hemingway: [00:32:20] And how often did this happen?   Laura Lee Smith: [00:32:22] Almost every day. And of course, following the behavior response plan and the disciplinary practices were not changing the behavior. And it was only making it worse. And the thing that was really complex is that I felt that it was impacting my Rapport and relationship with her because I was always the one who was having to follow that plan and during this time while she was in my class was also, when I was learning about what my daughter was diagnosed with. And so I'd have the intensity of this behavior in my classroom and then come home and have the behavior intensity in my home of very similar behaviors, and I'm like, my child does not have developmental trauma and she does. And these behaviors are very similar. And so I've had to figure out what that commonality was of creating the same similar behaviors in two different circumstances and for two very different reasons. And so I began to experiment with a very well-rounded counselor. That worked with me as a nervous system navigation protocol instead. Our Behavior response plan and so we developed these periodic check-ins where it wasn't intrusive. It wasn't, I guess she didn't have to elaborate, she could just give a nonverbal, we use the zones of Regulation. Like I spoke of earlier at the very beginning of the day, she checked in as what color she was in. I could give her a thumbs-up or I could just come check in with her and see how she was doing. So we moved into Proactive move. And we did. We created a tiered response system to this. So our Tier 1 and then we created a calm down Corner started with her design of like, she experimented, you know, if it was a stress ball shoes, squeeze something. Or if it was something that she needed to feel like pet, like have a blanket or if it was a weighted blanket. Like she had to experience, what was bringing her the most calm. And so in class she would just look at me and just give me a five and that would just be her singal  giving her five minutes to just kind of reset and return. And of course, this took a little bit of training and feeling and growing    Kristi Hemingway: [00:34:46] and how old was this child?   Laura Lee Smith: [00:34:47] fourth grade? So she was nine. Okay. And from there, we were just able to it was such a beautiful end of the year. I cried. I think the whole last week of her being in my classroom because it was that whole transferring on the transferable. You got this, you got this, right? You've been showing me, you got this, you can do this because by the end End of like literally a month within. We had turned it into a community thing where the universal supports in the check-in system became a classroom protocol. It became a nervous system navigation, classroom practice. And so, because she was not the only one dealing with the hard things, other people had learned to also masks that they were doing the hard that going through something hard. And so it was a beautiful community and it was So impactful to see how when we develop that common language of that behavior is actually communicating something and to learn maybe what that something is created resolution and community.    Kristi Hemingway: [00:35:52] So, you know, it's comforting to hear you talk about this is that So I ask you this question at the beginning of how does this correspond or overlay trauma-informed Practices and good solid Social emotional learning practices and And they're almost all the same. These are the same things. It's the creating the space. It's having the conversations. It's allowing students to have voice and agency in their own learning. Those are the things that I'm hearing from from trauma-informed experts, and social-emotional learning, experts and coordinators. That these are not, it's not one more thing. It's all the same.    Laura Lee Smith: [00:36:34] Exactly. You just said it right there.    Kristi Hemingway: [00:36:37] Yeah, so and I think that that is comforting to teachers to because they're being asked to attend to so many different standards and so many different objectives when they come into a classroom Beyond just their content, right? So they have like a social, emotional learning objective and then they have 10 kids who need accommodations in their classroom. And these kinds of practices are an umbrella. They're just going to nurture everyone.    Laura Lee Smith: [00:37:04] I think it's a beautiful thing of what you just said, right there are In a body connection is going to be the center point to being able to meet all of the systems that you are growing in As Educators.    Kristi Hemingway and Floreo: [00:37:15]  You can find Laura Lee at Laura, Lee Smith Consulting, linked in the episode notes.

Bruce Parry, Bruce Parry, Bruce Parry! What a gent!How often do you get to speak with someone who has fully immersed themselves in 15 different indigenous tribes all across the world?He ate what they ate including maggots and insects, he slept where they slept at times on hard dirt floors tangled between legs and arms and mosquitos crawling at his skin, he took part in ceremonial practices and plant medicines awakening his soul to all kinds of other realms, but most importantly he opened his mind to old wisdom, other ways of being and thinking which has shaped his existence and shown him new perspectives on life."Just hanging out with people who have a completely different perception of reality, different spirtual beliefs, different relationships with each other, different nature beliefs. All these things that I had to go through massive internal shifts to understand. Because you can just carry on looking at the world through your own scientific material prism but when you start taking on board that actually these people have got something else going on and maybe it's worth listening too because they are not the ones messing the planet up. I started out kind of thinking I knew it all and ended up realising I didn't know anything and thats a humbling journey."Bruce is an explorer, indigenous rights advocate, author, former Royal Marines officer, but he is possibly most well known for the three BBC documentary series; Tribe, Amazon, and Arctic. All of which documenting Bruce's exploration of extreme environments, living with remote indigenous peoples, and highlighting many of the important issues being faced on the environmental frontline.We covered it all with Bruce and to be honest could have spoken for days, maybe even months more, we feel a friendship was been made and look forward to keeping an eye on his progress with his next adventure; an egalitarian community in Wales.Further information on Bruce and his latest work:https://www.bruceparry.com/References:Viktor Frankl Sir Ken Robinson George Lamb and We Are Grow See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This is the last episode of SE#01 of The Body Knows Podcast. Thanks to all who have listened throughout the series, to those we have met and spoken with, and who have reached out, inspired by what you have heard. This was our purpose in creating the show and makes our work worthwhile. Our final guest is Bruce Parry; English documentarian; indigenous rights advocate, author, explorer, and former Royal Marines commando officer. His documentary series for the BBC: Tribe, Amazon, and Arctic have shown Bruce exploring extreme environments, living with remote indigenous peoples and highlighting many of the issues on the environmental frontline. What started out as a simple desire for adventure for him developed into a profound love for humanity and nature that comes with having experienced first-hand what our way of life is doing in the world. He is best known for his time spent living with Indigenous Peoples, and for bringing awareness of the shamanic use of psychedelic plant medicine to the mainstream, as well as his investigations into globalisation and climate change. Bruce's latest film; “TAWAI – A Voice from the Forest, is about how humankind has shifted its connection to nature with devastating results and suggests how we might return to the egalitarian structures we lived in for 95% of our time on the planet before the agricultural revolution. This is a deep and wide ranging conversation taking in; awareness practices, psychedelics and shadow work, the nature of spirit and consciousness via the lenses of felt sense, indigenous wisdom, meditative awareness and scientific study and the possiblity for evolution through egalitarian revolution. We dive too into this vision for life informed by ancestral wisdom, through an innate, heart lead connection to the natural order, the peoples he has met who embody this and the importance of this in order to find something bigger than ourselves. Bruce outlines what the new cultural narratives and tools and could be in order for us to live truly grounded, and egalitarian lives beyond our Western, individualistic patriarchal power structures so that we might discover what it truly means to be fully ourselves. As ever if this last episode speaks to you we ask that you leave a review on Apple Podcasts, and to subscribe and share to your socials.

Have you ever considered how your intuition can help you access your inner wisdom? Learn to better trust your instincts? Or find your truest path in life? That might seem like a big promise, but the truth is no one knows what you need better than yourself.For this episode, I sat down with Amisha Ghadiali. Amisha is an award-winning social entrepreneur, intuitive therapist, teacher, and leader. She’s the host of the globally acclaimed podcast The Future Is Beautiful, which explores the relationship between politics, spirituality, sustainability, and creativity. She's the author of the book Intuition: Access your inner wisdom. Trust your instincts. Find your path, hence our subject of today! She has an extensive background in leading meditation, breathwork, yoga, and energy healing. She has been featured in publications including The Huffington Post, VICE, The Guardian, Harper’s Bazaar, VOGUE, and many more, and has spoken at events and festivals around the world including TEDx Oxbridge, to name one. A selection of her meditations, myths, poems, and mantras are available on Insight Timer App.MY BIGGEST TAKEAWAY FROM THIS EPISODEFear is the main reason we don’t fully connect to and use our intuition. The voice of our conditioning is also very strong. It sometimes feels like it’s our own voice. Clearing and making our life as spacious as possible is a way to make space for our intuition to come through.Our intuition is wired in a way that wants to create a more beautiful future, it wants us to live from that place of the soul, it wants us to honor the beauty and fragility of the world we live in, it wants us to be creative and innovative and to find ways to handle shifts and change systems that are not working. By its very nature, it’s connecting us to ourselves and our dharma.A physical asana practice will help you listen with your body. As the energetic lines open and the information can travel, you can feel and hear intuition and wisdom.Living with your intuition is a whole level of intimacy you have to have with yourself. If you can cultivate intimacy in other areas of your life and be prepared to live from that place of authenticity in your relationships, it becomes easier to access within yourself.Intuition has an aliveness to it. By becoming more present to our intuition, we get off our auto-pilot, start envisioning our future and consistently realign what is in our best interest, while staying open to possibilities and letting ourselves be surprised and delighted by life and how it unfolds.QUESTIONS SHE ANSWERED DURING THIS EPISODEWhy have we lost contact or some contact with our intuition?How can we start tapping back into our intuition to fully live to our highest potential?How can we create space to enable inner shifts so we can listen to your own wisdom?How can we use our whole body to listen?Is the body the entry point to connect to our intuition?And then how do you connect to the more subtle?How can we learn the difference between our intuition, our thoughts, and our imagination?How does feeling connected in other ways in our life help us connect to our intuition?How can we use intuition as a tool for the parts of our life that we can’t control?How can we learn to trust intuition and validate our choices?SUBSCRIBE, RATE & REVIEW!

This week, we are in conversation with Bruce Parry. You may remember Bruce from the BBC series Tribe in which his final meeting with the Penan people in Borneo inspired the film Tawai. This is a beautiful and moving film that shows the egalitarian way of life of the Penan people. In this conversation we explore what we could imagine for our world in terms of living in balance and peace, looking to the Penan, and Mbendjele people. This is a beautiful continuation from last weeks episode with Riane Eisler, where we look to the egalitarian ways of the past. We hope you’ll enjoy this episode!

My guest today is Bruce Parry, an English documentarian, film-maker, indigenous rights advocate, author, explorer, trek leader and former Royal Marines commando officer. Bruce rose to prominence for the various series he did for the BBC, most notably ‘Tribe’ and ‘Amazon’, in which Bruce explored extreme environments, lived with remote indigenous peoples and highlighted many of the important issues being faced on the environmental frontline. Although brought up in a devoutly Christian environment, Bruce’s extensive exposure to indigenous tribes opened his spiritual horizons. He now describes himself as a born again Rational Animist delighting in the mysteries of Being. Spirituality and the meaning of the Sacred is something we get into in the podcast, but the main focus for the conversation is the theme of egalitarian societies, and re-connecting with our deep ancestral wisdom – because, contrary to popular belief, humans have not always been patriarchal and hierarchical.Show Notes: Bruce tells us about his journey making documentaries with the BBC He briefly explains his current project which is based around an egalitarian manifesto Bruce explains how many of the tribes he’s lived with across the world are actually modern people – no matter how ancient they may appear, or how flamboyant theor customs.The impact of bruce’s encounter with the Penan people of Borneo, and the Benjali of Africa. What does an egalitarian paradigm really look like? The ways in which these small nomadic societies cultivate and maintain equality? (note: equality does not mean sameness)How these societies are connected with a power greater than themselves – with reference to Viktor Frankl’s “A Man’s Search for Meaning’How addiction is correlated with the spiritual bankruptcy that is rife in modern Western societies – we mention the work of gabor Mate and Charles EisensteinBruce talks about foraging and hunting as meditative practices which help us gain access to the Sacred.The meaning of the Sacred, as Bruce understands it, and how it corresponds to the left and right hemispheres of the brain. https://www.arabellathais.comhttps://www.bruceparry.com

This week we explore how to work with the manifestations of trauma in your body, and coming out of your head and into your body, and doing what you love as a rich way of healing yourself. We talk about different forms of therapy for treating trauma in the body. Check out Peter Levine, a leading light in trauma therapy and a very nice man. We talk titratation - releasing trauma responses bit by bit - and pendulation - moving back and forth between resourced experiences and touching on traumatised parts of yourself in a manageable way. We wang on about yoga, societal bamboozlement and addiction and our stand-up comedy nightmares. Reminder: Trauma is not who you are. It is possible to heal, and it can be a lot quicker than you think. NOTE we mention Bruce Lyons. We meant Bruce Lipton https://www.brucelipton.com/ Trigger warning: we discuss different forms of abuse and manipulation in this podcast.

Bruce Parry has lived an incredibly adventurous life. He has traveled and led expeditions to some of the most remote regions of the world and lived with indigenous people around the globe. Bruce is an English documentarian and indigenous rights advocate, having produced the documentary series Tribe, Amazon, and Artic for the BBC, showing Bruce exploring extreme environments and living with remote indigenous peoples and highlighting many of the important issues being faced on the environmental front line. In my conversation with Bruce, I was curious to hear how his widespread travels and adventures have impacted him personally, and how this dictates his past and current lifestyle and practices. We talk psychedelics, silent Vipassanna meditation, and the awareness found in foraging. Bruce is an environment advocate, having witnessed firsthand the destruction brought to tribal people by ongoing and disruptive development in remote regions. He is also well practiced in ceremonial psychedelics, from a personal standpoint as well as an observational one. As my own work focuses on anxiety and trauma resolution, I was curious to hear his thoughts on how stress and trauma show up in tribal cultures, and what the sense of living with a truly egalitarian people feels like. I was quite excited to speak with Bruce for many reasons, my own great love of the wilderness and adventure first and foremost. I also have a deep sense of responsibility for being a steward on the planet, and love Bruce’s take on how we must all “fall in love with nature” to begin restoring and protecting our natural and wild places. If you are as fascinated by interesting people as I am, or want to deepen your own connection with nature, with your essential self, and with your fellow humans—give this episode a listen.

Tatayo, a former French man 48 years in Gabon since October 1971, a builder of community and preserver of tradition, instilling pride in the lives of ordinary Gabonese people, robed of their heritage as collateral damage in the march of progress, allowing them to value and take pride in their Bwiti culture in an honorable and dignified fashion. Tatayo has made it possible to present Bwiti to the western world while maintaining its purity devoid of corrupt speculation by building an honest god fearing community around him. He has been instrumental in bringing knowledge of the Bwiti to the Western world through his involvement with Daniel Pinchbeck 'Breaking Open the Head' and Bruce Parry's BBC documentary 'Tribe ' among others. Those considering an initiation in Africa cannot ignore this podcast and have no business going to Africa without familiarising themselves with this man and his work unless they wish to take their lives into their own hands. Those who feel called to support his work can do so here : Blessingsoftheforest.org. I for one give thanks for his work and pray for the continued blessings and success of his community.

Bruce Parry has visited with many indigenous tribes throughout his career in television and film. Now he has come to a point of wanting to put what he has learned of egalitarian values and land-based culture into action in his own life. Joining the conversation is forager, expedition leader and traditional crafts teacher Nicola Burgess for an open discussion of what kind of society we want to live in...

In today's show, I'm excited to be speaking with Bruce Parry, an award-winning documentarian, indigenous rights advocate, author, explorer, trek leader and former Royal Marines commando officer. Our conversation explores everything from the kinds of narratives we currently inhabit and the use of sound in traditional healing rituals, to what the non-hierarchical social dynamics within a particular indigenous community can teach us about how we might redesign the societies in which we live.

Christopher Ryan, PhD. is an author, speaker, and podcast host, as well as an excellent storyteller. With his New York Times best-selling book, Sex at Dawn, he became known for challenging the standard cultural narratives around sex and social organization. His new book, Civilized to Death, questions whether civilization has been a net benefit to our species. On his podcast Tangentially Speaking, Chris welcomes a mix of unconventional guests including famous comics, bank robbers, drug smugglers, porn stars, and rattlesnake experts. In this interview, Chris offers a challenging perspective on how humans have strayed from egalitarian tribal living, instead adopting customs that don’t match our biological drives and social needs. He focuses on the disruptive role of agriculture in human history, marking that as the period during which we veered off course. Chris also shares humorous and touching stories from interviews and travels in his van, Scarlett Jovansson.

Ancestral health advocate and pioneer of Evolutionary Feminism Stephanie Welch is back on the podcast today. We met up at the Ancestral Health Symposium in San Diego, California in August where she gave a talk on gender-segregated housing as an alternative to the traditional nuclear family. Stephanie is dedicated to exploring the boundaries of relationships and sexuality, and she makes a compelling case for a living arrangement most of us have never considered. In this podcast, Stephanie identifies the time in history that humans abandoned tribal living and gravitated to segregated nuclear families and sexual monogamy. She talks about the many ways this change has been a detriment to society, resulting in families and relationships lacking in social support and other basic human needs. She also offers solutions for re-establishing aspects of tribal living in a modern world.

This August, a brand new podcast series has been launched at Lush, which focuses on the ‘War on Wildlife' and is hosted by Charlie Moores and Ruth Peacey. To help raise the awareness, we've dedicated this episode of The Lush Podcast to the topic of Wildlife and why we should care. Within the episode, we'll hear a small teaser clip from the brand new War on Wildlife Podcast,  in which Bruce Parry reflects on whether he believes there is a war at play, and if so, what he would do to tackle it. We will also take a listen to some small clips from panel discussions hosted at the most recent Lush Showcase which each shine a light on the War on Wildlife but from a more solutions-focused angle.    And finally, we'll hear from an inspirational young activist called Mya-Rose Craig whose work in the Birding world is doing tremendous things for getting younger generations involved in wildlife work.   To listen to the full first episode of The War on Wildlife Podcast, click here.

Episode One looks at driven shooting and grouse moors, and features presenter and conservationist Chris Packham and author and explorer Bruce Parry.

In todays show, Jo Youle goes to NOISILY festival in Leicestershire to meet intrepid tribe explorer, Bruce Parry.  Known for his BBC investigations into indigenous tribes in the Congo, Venezuela and Mongolia and more recently his film Tawai, Bruce was giving a talk at the event on his findings on his travels.  In particular one stand out group of people he had met, called the Penan, that employ a philosophy and ethos and way of living that has inspired to buy his own house in Wales to try to recreate his findings with his own community that he is hell bent on building. Jo and Bruce discuss his former life as a hedonist in Ibiza, how he found and embraced meditation due to his addiction to stimulation and also how he has become content, not just happy with his new mission. There is more to Parry’s return to the UK. He believes having had an immersive understanding of the wisdom of some of the oldest human communities, that he should now try to put some of that into practice in the place he was born and share that wisdom.

A journey through loss, discovery and cultivation of our connection to something bigger. In this episode Amisha meets explorer, documentary filmmaker and author Bruce Parry.Bruce shares with Amisha some deeply personal stories about finding the place where neuroscience meets indigenous ritual medicines, the chance encounters that changed his life - including with the Kogi, whose intercontinental "interventions" turned him celibate, his theory on how the dawn of agriculture killed meditation and the breakdowns and breakthroughs of a seven-year journey to produce his new film Tawai. From his early days "deep in the machine" as an institutionalised, privately educated military career-man to his recent expeditions into the mystical depths of Amazonian tribal medicine, Bruce tracks the unfolding of his present world view and the crises and revelations that brought him to it."The Penan are anarchists. They have no leader no law, no shamans no chiefs... They are allegedly the most peaceful people on the planet." ~Bruce Parry www.thefutureisbeautiful.co

BAFTA award winning BBC presenter Bruce Parr, star of ‘Tribe’, ‘Amazon’ and ‘Arctic’, tells us all about his brand new film ‘Tawai: A Voice From The Forest’.

Bruce Parry - award-winning documentarian, author & explorer joins the boys to discuss some of his incredible adventures and how it relates to his outlook on life. "Equality", "Healing" and "Connection" are on today's menu.

We crave belonging. As crazy-distracting and divisive as the world is, it’s easy to forget the simple fact that deep down we want to be accepted and feel part of a tribe. Given how the world has developed, for most of us, this is very hard. I had an amazing opportunity to dig into what it takes to connect to very different groups by talking to someone who has done extreme versions of this. Bruce Parry has travelled to some of the most remote places on planet Earth and inserted himself into wildly foreign cultures and people. For some of these tribes, meeting him was “first contact” of any outsider. Imagine making connection with groups of people where you don’t speak their language, look wildly different, don’t eat their food or wear their clothes. How would you do it? What could you learn about yourself by making those connections? Especially after doing it 20-30 times? Bruce Parry is an award-winning documentarian, author and a famous BBC host of such documentary shows as Tribe, Amazon and Arctic. He has travelled to extreme environments spending significant time with indigenous people. While these people have very different rituals, such as cannibalism or smoking ayahuasca, Bruce has been welcomed as a member and has had the chance to connect and understand people at a human level that most of us never get the opportunity to encounter. So, at a time when separation has never been more forced upon us, knowing what it takes to belong are a set of keys we can all use everyday. This is a special chance to hear someone who has developed an amazing ability to connect and belong at every level and in every corner of life.
