Podcasts about building connected communities

Believing in a world free of sexual and intimate partner violence means daring to imagine what communities would look like of everyone had equal access to health, safety and livelihood.  When we allow ourselves to imagine “what if,” we create the stepping stones to get us there. For Sexual Assault Awareness Month, the National Sexual Violence Resource Center is calling on people to think about what their communities could be, and take steps to get there. In a special bonus podcast episode, taken from our Instagram live event earlier this month, we spoke with NSVRC staff Jayla Murdock and Mo Lewis to talk about their national campaign: Building Connected Communities, which leverages Health Equity Frameworks to impact whole communities in the work to end sexual violence.Because this is a recording from an Instagram LiveStream, there may be moments where audio cuts out or gets spotty. You can find the video stream with captions at our Instagram, and follow-along with the transcript to this episode.

Writing is an author’s special gift they share with the world. But does a story manifest itself, guiding an author through the process, or does an author write what is in their mind? Host, Mike Domitrz welcomes CAST members Alan Anderson, Lisa Baker King, Alexandra Folz, and Berni Xiong to discuss the origin of their creative process, and to share from which tools and resources they glean inspiration. This conversation was inspired by this quote from The Great Work of Your Life, by Stephen Cope: “Well, the book has a spine. A dharma. But you don’t know what it’s dharma is until you begin to write it. Forget about all the things you said to yourself about your book at the beginning of the project, or what you told your editor or what you wrote in your brilliant book proposal. Know the book has its own dharma which will slowly reveal itself to you. And then you have a choice. You can choose the books dharma.” Subscribe to the Everyday Mindfulness Show.  Mentioned in This Episode: The Great Work of Your Life: A Guide for the Journey to Your True Calling, by Stephen Cope Take the Stairs: 7 Steps to Achieving True Success, by Rory Vaden 750 Words Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear, by Elizabeth Gilbert “Your Elusive Creative Genius,” TED Talk by Elizabeth Gilbert Kolbe Kate Atkinson On Writing, by Stephen King   Alan Anderson is a long-time mindfulness practitioner, and teaches to a wide range of students from children to adult; from Harley-Davidson cohort to a tent full of 200 Buddhists.
