Linda and Charlie Bloom discuss "open nesting," highlighting communication, self-reflection and empty nesting. AN END TO ARGUING.

Do you often have conflicts with your partner? Would you like to learn to be happier in your relationships? Lisa continues the conversation today with author and relationship expert Linda Bloom, L.C.S.W., who is a psychotherapist and marriage counselor. Linda explains how there's an “art” to fighting and even in the greatest, happiest relationships, arguments can arise. Yet, she believes most challenges and problems can be worked out. You can use your relationship for the highest growth. From what Linda and her husband, Charlie Bloom, also a therapist and marriage counselor have reported, only about 10% of partnerships are in “Super Marriages.” This is an equal relationship which involves being compassionate and passionate, utilizing each other's strengths, and compensating for one another's weaknesses. Individually people have done the work to uplevel themselves and their understanding, thereby upleveling the relationship itself. Linda explains that it takes passion and commitment to be a highly emotionally intelligent person. By enrolling their partner, this leads to an immensely successful relationship. She and her husband decided to interview more than 50 very happy couples. The main trait they had in common was communication. They have “Super Marriages” because they are “Super Communicators.” They are in touch with their feelings and brave enough to express them. They learn how to be together, while keeping their individuality. They have so many clients who did not have good relationship role models. Luckily this is something that can be learned. Every couple can have their own experience, based on their own set of ethics and values. Between the demands of dual careers, raising children, and helping aging parents, you must make your relationship your priority. Linda suggests having date nights, checking in with yourself and partner every day, and scheduling romantic getaways at various times of the year, not just for birthdays and anniversaries. Prioritize the well-being of your relationship, and you can become a stronger working team, better able to handle life's stressors. Linda also discusses relationships with family members who may have differing opinions, politically and otherwise. Linda suggests setting boundaries and letting them know you do not care to discuss the subject if you know it will lead to an argument. If they are a bit more open, then you listen and show respect to their point of view. Maybe they will reciprocate and show interest. It is possible that understanding can be forged, even if you do not agree with one another.  Curiosity and wonder allow for differences to peacefully co-exist. It needs to be learned from the ground up. If you can create loving, trusting behavior in your own family, you can inspire those around you and thereby accelerate healing with powerful impact. Linda and Charlie Bloom are co-authors of several widely acclaimed books including, “101 Things I Wish I Knew When I Got Married: Simple Lessons to Make Love Last,” which has sold more than 100,000 copies, and “Secrets of Great Marriages: Real Truths from Real Couples About Lasting Love, Happily Ever After and Thirty-nine Other Myths about Love,” She offers educational and counseling services to individuals, couples, and organizations.

Do you often fight with your partner? Do you find it hard to speak your truth in relationships? Today's guest is author and relationship expert Linda Bloom, L.C.S.W., who is a psychotherapist and marriage counselor. Linda talks about how there's an “art” to fighting. Even in the greatest, happiest relationships, conflict can arise. Most challenges and problems can be worked out. If we are vulnerable, we see that underneath the anger and resentment, there's usually disconnection and fear. We can feel misunderstood and lonely but if we open up and express our vulnerability, it invites connection. Linda discusses how to set boundaries and take responsibility for our feelings. She talks about how opposites can attract as each brings different traits to the table.  We all have golden light, but dark shadows as well. We can learn from each other and embrace one another's strengths. She also talks about how people search for the “perfect partner.” This can actually be a way to protect oneself, as no one is perfect, but we can look at the good in others. We can practice our skills, and even if relationships don't last, we can still move forward by taking a risk on someone and looking for kindness. Sometimes people absolutely won't agree on certain important aspects. Perhaps there are fights involving one who spends money and one who saves money. If you listen to each other patiently, and with curiosity and wonder, much can be learned and resolved. It's a matter of finding common ground. It doesn't have to be a dealbreaker. Addictions may be a dealbreaker. It's not the addiction itself; it's if the person doesn't want to find help. If people really listen to each other with understanding and respect, needs can be met. Linda also talks about how infidelity doesn't always have to be a dealbreaker. It may be a one-time mistake, and the person may have learned a lesson. It IS possible to forgive. Fears will come up and it will take time. It's a matter of trust and it may be possible to work it out. Being in a relationship takes a lot of work. It's about being conscious. Linda discusses modern families and how there may be completely unequal levels of income. It's important to talk about and get to the roots underneath the discomfort.  If couples lean into the challenge, it can be a very fruitful conversation of balance. This is especially prevalent in the United States where people are so focused on money. It is possible to be a contribution, even if finances are unequal. The biggest fights  occur when people don't feel the depth of love. Success in the US is defined by money, status, and finances. Linda's definition of success includes how many loving relationships we have in our lives. If you make it the priority, you won't suffer by feeling like you are lacking love. When you get triggered, and you are angry, it's important to take a few breaths. Take a break when you are in a fight. Breath and settle down. Think about what's hurting you and scaring you. That's a helpful, connecting conversation. By doing this, you can feel heard. That's loving behavior. Having a safe word also helps. When you take a “time out,” do not stomp off and slam the door. That's a message saying your partner is impossible. It's important to both agree ahead of time that this is the best way to calm down and compose yourself. Come back with the intention to learn and understand. This respectful attitude builds back the trust.

Are you ready to have all your relationship questions answered by not one, but two couples therapists…who also happen to be a couple themselves?  Linda and Charlie Bloom are psychotherapists who have been married to each other for more than 50 years, and in this week's episode, they're spilling all their secrets about how to have healthy relationships – secrets from both their clinical training and their personal experience of building their marriage. This discussion is like getting weeks of counseling in just one hour!  We cover topics like: the role of self-worth in a relationship, how our partners can help us heal childhood wounding, the importance of asking for what we want and need, how to navigate conflict in a healthy way, what to do and not do during an argument, how to repair broken trust, what to do when your partner doesn't want to work on the relationship and the underutilized habits that create great relationships. Though this is PACKED with information, we don't just talk about concepts but give you practical advice on what to do in these situations, from how to hack your brain for more productive conflict to how to appeal to your partner's self-interest to get the relationship you want. Listen to discover: ●       The surprising connection between self-worth and healthy relationships ●       Why some people have trouble receiving love ●       The importance of asking for what we want and need ●       Why we marry people like our parents ●       How to have healthy conflict in your relationship ●       The three words you should never say in an argument ●       How to get out of threat and fear states during conflict ●       What "committed listening" is and how to show up with more presence ●       What is required to rebuild trust when it's been broken ●       What to do if your partner doesn't want to work on the relationship ●       The most underutilized practice in relationships My favorite takeaway from this episode is that the key to having better relationships is believing it is possible. It's so easy to get caught up in frustration, resentment and conflict and give up on a relationship that has potential (did you know most couples divorce without ever seeking therapy?). But we have so much power in our hands to change the dance of our relationships and make them work.  Though it takes two to tango and some relationships do end, Linda and Charlie give hopeful advice that will help you fight for your relationship instead of fighting with your partner – grounded in their own story of healing conflict and growing their love year after year.  "We can never give any more acceptance and appreciation to somebody else than we can give to ourselves...We can't give that experience of worth to another person if we haven't internalized it within ourselves." - Charlie Bloom "We learn to love ourselves through relationships." - Charlie Bloom "Don't expect [your partner] to know what's going on with you emotionally. That's your job to share with them what you need." - Michelle Chalfant "When I grew some courage and started to ask [for what I wanted], I got loved in the way I wanted to be loved." - Linda Bloom "There's a part of us that I think is innate within all human beings to want to feel whole, to want to feel integrated." - Charlie Bloom "If we can appeal to the other person's self-interest, that sometimes helps them to get over their conflict phobia." - Linda Bloom "One-hundred percent of the time, defensiveness is activated by fear." - Charlie Bloom "Starting a conversation or an argument with 'you, you, you,' I call it throwing the shield up...That's not a conversation. It's defensiveness." - Michelle Chalfant "A lot of people, they think good communication is required for a good relationship. But they think about speaking. They don't think about the other side and how important the listening is." - Linda Bloom "One of the statistics that breaks my heart is that most people who get divorced never go to one couple's counseling session." - Linda Bloom “If you can respect your partner and what their path is, then all is well.” - Michelle Chalfant  “Of course we're going to have differences, but they don't have to turn into arguments and conflict.” - Linda Bloom  LINKS & RESOURCES  Linda and Charlie Bloom Website https://bloomwork.com/  "An End to Arguing" (Linda and Charlie Bloom Book) https://www.amazon.com/End-Arguing-Valuable-Lessons-Relationships/dp/1646638085  Linda and Charlie Bloom Facebook https://www.facebook.com/lindaandcharliebloom Linda and Charlie Bloom Instagram https://www.instagram.com/linda_charlie_bloom/ Summer 2023 Adult Chair® Coaching Certification - Doors Now Open!

No relationship is perfect. Despite what tv shows and movies tell us, it's normal to have differences, it's normal to get angry, and it's normal to go through periods of turbulence. It's how these periods are handled, however, that is the real indicator as to whether the relationship will survive. Linda and Charlie Bloom are trained psychotherapists and relationship counselors. Married since 1972, Linda and Charlie have lectured throughout the US and conducted seminars across the world on relationships and how to navigate them.

Married since 1972 and trained as psychotherapists, relationship counselors, and seminar leaders, Linda and Charlie Bloom join Chelsea 10:30 minutes in to talk about their 5th book, An End to Arguing: 101 Valuable Lessons for All Relationships.We dive deep into preventing painful interpersonal conflict, dropping the mask and exposing the whole spectrum of who you are early, dating with the agreement that you're both practice partners who will do the best in this now moment while holding out the vision of where'd you'd like to go, the need to confront your partner about any misalignments before making the decision to leave, the importance of staying on the responsible side of a breakup, the vulnerability and threat that comes with caring, what drives us toward someone who is different than us, why there's no passion without authenticity, how to ignite closeness after times of separation, and how the value and pleasure of a relationship only comes once you've hung in through the times when many people call it quits.

Linda and Charlie Bloom each did the Hoffman Process thirty years ago. The powerful transformations they experienced at the Process continue to be alive in them today. Charlie tells us how he learned of the freedom and joy in taking responsibility for his own life. Linda shares about grieving the image of 'parents charming,' the perfect parents she didn't get so that she could come to accept and honor the parents she did have. Listen in as Linda and Charlie offer decades of learning, experience, and insight around partnership as a laboratory. In their work, they guide clients to see relationships as a way to learn how to be in and grow into partnership, as well as a path to wellness.

We loved having Linda and Charlie Bloom on Love University--a wonderful happily married couple for over 50 years, and two licensed therapists, as well.    These bestselling authors and lifetime partners enlighten us by busting through the myths of love and marriage and teaching us the secrets of love.     Love Myth #1:  You feel loving all the time when you're married. Myth Buster #2:  You still love them, despite being angry or sad, because you find the common ground in the relationship. Love Myth #2: All differences must be resolved in the relationship. Myth Buster #2:  Its OK to have unresolved differences in a relationship. Differences may even strengthen the marriage (each partner can learn something new) as long as each partner respects the other. Love Myth #3: If you loved me, I don't need to ask for what I want. Myth Buster #3: It’s important to ask for what you want. The key is to have an atmosphere of acceptance and tolerance as each person shares their desires with their partner.    Love Myth #4:  Love means never having to say, "You're Sorry." Myth Buster #4:  Keep the word "I'm sorry" at your fingertips, as you apologize sincerely if you hurt your partner. These powerful words can relieve great stress in a relationship.   Other secrets of a successful relationships and happy marriage include:   *Give Your Best Energy to Your Relationship *See Your Relationship as a Living Entity *Happy couples are slightly delusional—they see their partner in a positive light, even though doing so may be a little unrealistic. *Love is not 50-50:  It could be 90-10, with one partner carrying the weight for a while. Then, it reverses, and the other partner gives 90%.  It evens out in the long-term.   Listen in as you learn the secrets of great relationships and marriages.

We all like to think of ourselves as good people and people who are willing to be there for others and support those that we care for who we assume would do the same for us. Sometimes we call this friendship, sometimes we call this love, but at the core it's really about one key character trait: loyalty. Tune in as Dr. Poole discusses the true definition of loyalty and both the benefits and negative consequences of choosing loyalty to another over oneself. Small Talk Bookshelf: Psychology Today published an article in June 2016 entitled, “Got Loyalty?” - Linda & Charlie Bloom's Stronger at the Broken Places https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/stronger-the-broken-places/201606/got-loyalty

This week on Relationships 2.0 my guests are Charlie and Linda Bloom authors of That Which Doesn’t Kill Us: How One Couple Became Stronger at the Broken Places About the book: That Which Doesn’t Kill Us is the story of a couple’s ten-year journey that took them through a series of ordeals that crippled their family and nearly destroyed their marriage. Trained as psychotherapists and practicing relationship counselors, both Charlie and Linda found that their professional training wasn’t enough to liberate them from the challenges they encountered. Alternating chapters, the authors illuminate the experiences they endured as well as the process that allowed them to finally heal from the damage caused by their prolonged period of stress and conflict. In the end, they were able to not only salvage their marriage; they also managed to establish a connection that brought their relationship a depth of intimacy, trust, and integrity far beyond what they had ever experienced before. The process of their miraculous recovery is presented in vivid detail and reads like a riveting novel. The Blooms’ unfolding story provides the essential steps necessary to breathe life back into a failing marriage and move into a deep, loving connection that surpasses even the dreams that each partner had dared to hope to fulfill.

In ERP 125: How Kindness Can Strengthen Your Love – Part One, I talked about the article, titled “Masters Of Love,” by Emily Esfahani Smith The article talked about the key to lasting relationships comes down to kindness and generosity. Based on the research of Gottman and others, “kindness (along with emotional stability) is the most important predictor of satisfaction and stability in a marriage.” (Please listen to the podcast episode or read the transcript to hear explanations, stories and examples.) If you are interested in practicing more kindness in your relationship to strengthen your love, download this free pdf. The goal is to choose one kindness action or gesture a day for 25 days.    25 TIPS FOR BUILDING KINDNESS (6-10) 6. CELEBRATE WINS. When you experience success, an accomplishment or something good, who do you share it with? Are you and your partner able to celebrate the joy and excitement of good news together? There is something called the “winner’s effect.” When we experience a win of some sort, we get a release of dopamine and testosterone. Dopamine is one of the feel good neurochemicals. The beginning stages of love, romance, and desire are fueled by dopamine along with other neurochemicals like oxytocin. When we experience a win, positive changes are happening within our chemical makeup and brain structure. We will typically feel more confident, quick witted, and more courageous. Cognitive neuroscientist Ian Robertson explains “Winning increases the dopamine receptors in the brain, which makes you smarter and more bold.” Sharing these pivotal moments are critical for relationship quality and connection and can be very damaging when they are not shared and celebrated together. In a psychological study, Will You Be There For Me When Things Go Right, by Shelly Gable and her colleagues, couples were asked to discuss recent positive events from their lives. The purpose of the study was to observe how partners would respond to each other’s good news. They found that, in general, couples responded to each other’s good news in four different ways: passive destructive, active destructive, passive constructive, and active constructive. The most common response is a passive constructive one, like “That’s nice,” or “Congratulations.” Sometimes couples will receive passive destructive responses such as a flat response or being ignored when sharing good news. On rare occasions, a critical, or active destructive response is given. In the article, Why You and Your Partner Need to Celebrate Each Other by Linda and Charlie Bloom, they write “What truly enlivens a relationship, though, is an active constructive response, when the person who hears about our success is sincerely happy for us. An active constructive response shows generosity of spirit and eagerness to hear more about the good news. Celebrating triumphs in life, from small, seemingly trivial ones to those that are more significant, strengthens the bond between two people. Being genuinely enthusiastic in responding to a partner’s good fortune can have a positive impact on them.” “The genuineness and frequency of active positive responses are essential to the development of healthy relationships….When we celebrate each other’s accomplishments, we thrive. We are more likely to be securely bonded to each other, satisfied with our relationship, and enjoy greater love and happiness” by Linda and Charlie Bloom.  7. EXPRESS AFFECTION. A few days ago, I was meeting with a couple I have been working with for a couple of months. Unfortunately, they are working through some pretty big disconnect. One of the areas where they have experienced a divide is in the way they express and receive love. Stylistically, she is more reflective and introspective, and he is more active and energetic. She was describing a longing to feel his embodied touch and presence. He had no idea what she was talking about. When you touch your partner, are you present to the moment? Are you focused on the shared connection or are you touching your partner out of habit and routine? Do you initiate physical contact with your significant other at all? Do you hug, hold hands, kiss? The other day, my husband wasn’t feeling well. Often times, my first attempt to connect with him is verbal. When he doesn’t engage, I will slow down and try to feel with him. In a more embodied way, I gentle rubbed his lower back, and he opened up to me about where he felt pain and discomfort. Kind touch reduces stress and tension, and it conversely facilitates more connection and warmth. We are rarely encouraged to give affection and kind touch. It can be easy to forget. Gently touch your partner to let them know you care. High five to celebrate a win. Embrace after a long day. Give a hand or foot massage. Look at your partner with kind eyes. Smile at them. For some people, being touched with kindness gives them the experience of feeling loved. What ways can you use touch to convey your care and affection to your partner? 8. GIVE YOUR PARTNER THOUGHT. Most of us will focus on and pay attention to what we are experiencing in any given moment. It takes a mental leap to put ourselves in our partner’s perspective and think about what they would enjoy. When someone puts energy and thought into considering what we would like, we feel special and cared about. When people describe meaningful acts of care from their partner, they often talk about the little things. Small acts of kindness are powerful ways to increase the positivity in your relationship. Remembering what your partner has been up to and asking about how it is going. Bringing up a topic that is important to your partner. Doing something extra to help them feel your support and love. If you partner is having a bad day, maybe pick-up something that they will enjoy. Being willing to focus on and give attention to your partner’s interests demonstrates your care and that they matter and are important to you. Demonstrate consideration by doing things that are meaningful to them, like: Being on time. Doing the dishes. Sticking to the budget. Although these small gestures of kindness and thought can seem insignificant, they provide positive signals that your partner is valued and the relationship is important. Heat up the water for tea. Get a blanket. Get bags out for trip. Buy their favorite beverage. Make their favorite dinner. Small gestures over time accumulate to strengthen your love and connection as a couple. 9. TREAT YOUR PARTNER WITH MANNERS. Dr. Fred Luskin, ‘Why is it that we treat others with more civility than we do our partners?” For example, have you ever been in an ugly argument with your significant other, and then in the next moment picked up the phone to answer a call with politeness? In the beginning stages of love, we tend to take extra care with our manners and grooming. We want to be polite and pleasant to be around. Whereas over time, we can get comfortable, perhaps too comfortable, and lose consideration and manners. Eat with your mouth open. Farting. Interrupting. Complaining. Not being thoughtful about what you say. Relating to your partner with good manners expresses care, consideration, and appreciation. Please. Thank you. Excuse me. Often times, couples will get into small arguments because they feel slighted or disrespected. Being considerate as a couple, shows that you maintain respect for each other. In that we do not take each other for granted, and we appreciate and value one another. Would you be willing? What do you think? Would you be okay if..? Finally, treating your partner with good manners promotes good will and positivity. 10. BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT. One way to practice kindness is by giving your partner the benefit of the doubt, when it trying to decipher your partner’s intentions. Many times in relationship, we will perceive our partner’s actions and not have enough information to full understand why they did or didn’t do what they did. John Gottman explains from his research that “disasters” see negativity in their relationship even when it is not there. Whereas “masters” will anticipate that there is a good reason for their partner’s actions, even if it doesn’t appear to make sense at the time. Yes, it may be difficult to suspend judgment when your partner does something off-putting. However, not jumping to conclusions and not assuming the worst will save a lot of heartache and drama. If you notice that you sometimes think negatively about your partner’s actions, try being generous when speculating about your partner’s intentions. Most likely, if you took the time to understand what was behind their actions or behavior, it would make sense. Most often, your partner means well, even if their delivery is subpar at times.

The source article can be found here: https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/stronger-the-broken-places/201501/10-ways-overcome-fear-missing-out This episode was originally broadcast live on Move Radio: http://tunein.com/radio/MOVE-RADIO-s289101/

Creative Social Communicator with early history, first peoples and the awakening connection to the earth mother and the elements. Today she is a celebrated filmmaker, producer and director covering the canvas of earth, water, and sky and the growing people’s reverence of Aotearoa and our great sustainer Mother Earth - Papatuanku.    Early Years: Born in Ōtautahi, Christchurch, whilst studying at Canterbury University she did the ‘poet rounds’ of local pubs with people such as Kerri Hume and other home grown celebrities.   Then when visiting a playwright’s workshop in Australia she realised that only 1% of the world’s playwrights - were women this then inspired her to fire up and write. She then had a play produced on stage in Australia and in Christchurch help set up the Woman’s Action Theatre. Then for 8 years produced one play per year, ‘Mother Tongue’ being one of them and with the NZ Listener giving it an amazing review it ended up touring the country. Being based on the first stages of a woman’s life. Featuring chant, song, dance and scenes through different aspects of a growing woman – like Offspring – the first 6 months of the 1st baby – and then another of an older woman who was a successful gold miner in the West Coast - Buller region. That Christchurch Ōtautahi is where Kate Sheppard, who initiated the vote for women lived and was buried there. Kate also tells of her unique connection to the 1st vote by women in 1893. Nuclear Awakening Then to working in Free Theatre and Court Theatre and then onto radio drama which she loves. One of these was called Charlie Bloom, about blowback from a French nuclear test in Polynesia which went from East to West covering Samoa and affecting the the Samoan inhabitants 3,610 km from French polynesia and Mururoa. This  bomb test was on the 12 September 1966. As a consequence of this test, called Betelgeuse, (named after the 9th brightest star in the night sky) in which a 120 kiloton bomb hanging under a balloon was exploded at a height of 600 metres in difficult wind conditions. Not long after this Kathleen was living for a while in Hakano St, Grey Lynn in Auckland and there were many Samoans living in that street and there was a disproportionate number suffering from strange cancers and odd diseases then she found a book by Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW) and also the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research entitled Environmental Effects of French Nuclear Testing. This exposed what was happening,  including a  map of the rain-out hot spots and rain-out dry spots all over this part of the Pacific. This was when leukaemia sickness was spiking at one of the worst rates at that time in this region. Her play was also broadcast in Australia and Kathleen’s parents were over there for a few days and just looking for a decent radio station to listen to, heard Kathleen’s  ‘Charlie Bloom’ being broadcast – just out of the blue and this is a theme that runs through her life – many magical moments of synchronicity. Her most recent book is Earthquakes and Butterflies based on the Christchurch Earthquake and was played for a week on National radio here in NZ. Her book is a delightful, beautifully designed novel and photographic journal following Hone, Kara, Pieter, Hemi, Helena, Kay and Tess as they navigate their way through the tragedy of the Christchurch earthquakes. "This is surely one of the finest pieces of writing to come out of the Christchurch earthquakes. Kathleen Gallagher tells, with deep tenderness and compassion, the story and spirit of all that the moving earth laid on the heaving doorsteps of Christchurch... Jane Hole,"Tui Motu" Nov. 2015, Film   The documentary Water Whisperers - Tangaroa the film – evidently, it just sort of happened. With no finances or major strategy, when some people came to her at the last minute and asked her to film a raft journey from Lake Sumner in the Southern Alps to the Pacific ocean, this was enough to pay for Water Whisperers – plus when it came to support with this production - she says “it just seems to show up!” This vibrant environmental documentary explores the healing and recovery of polluted and fished out waterways, and the conservation of wild water places - from mountain lakes, through rivers and out into the ocean. Subtle, sensitive and beautifully photographed - it is a quietly convincing voice amid the clamour of our fast paced society. People from very different backgrounds stand together - being real about the challenges they face, they show us there are solutions as well as problems that we have to address. This is an eloquent and utterly convincing call for greater protection and care of New Zealand’s lakes, rivers, coastlines and oceans. "This beautifully put together and refreshingly optimistic local doco is one of the most enjoyable films I've seen in months ... Seeing an eco-doco so informative, entertaining, light of touch and unashamedly Kiwi was a real treat ... Four stars, easy ... a very accomplished and compelling film." Graeme Tuckett - Dominion Post, Wellington When filming Sky Whisperers - Ranginui - she tells of a small number of large hawks or kea flying right in front of her car windscreen blocking her view that she had to stop the vehicle in a middle of a mobile phone drop-out area. Whilst stopped a very tuned in Maori friend phoned her saying she must come to where he was – as the film had to start from Lake Waikaremoana - stating that “ I am waiting for you!”. She had not planned on including him in the film and so due to the ‘strangeness’ of the moment, she then detoured to where he was some hundred plus kilometres away even though they were going to another destination to start the film. So driving through a storm she arrived at Lake Waikaremoana where he was standing waiting for her and her team, still in the middle of that storm. Where she proceeded to interview him then carry on back to the original destination. This fascinating environmental feature, calls us to a closer intimacy with our skies. Celestial navigators, climatologists, a Nobel prize winning scientist, biodynamic, Maori and radio astronomers, farmers, fishermen and business folk who observe the sky, the air, the stars, the moon and sun cycles. Together they show how we can establish a way of observing, living and doing business which results in non pollution of our skies. Tau Te Mauri - Breath Of Peace A fascinating story of effort towards global peace, featuring eight peace people of Aotearoa New Zealand - spanning some seven decades - peace walkers, petitioners, and folk in small boats and on the surfboards sailing out into the harbours in the face of huge warships. A unique documentary, embedded in the movement of aihe (dolphins), tohora (whales), kotuku (white herons), toroa (albatross) and with an original score blending contemporary waiata and traditional Maori musical instruments. This film tells the story of how Aotearoa New Zealand became nuclear free and anti-war. It is an inspiration for all people, young and old, and for peacemakers everywhere. Conscientious Objectors: The Peace People of NZ go back a long way – to the Chatham Islanders to Te Whiti go Parihaka in Taranaki - who it is recorded influenced Mahatma Gandhi in his expression of peace. Jack Rogers and the few who remain alive today … then Mary Woodward – protesting against the bombing of Hiroshima. Hautu Peace People of World War II “Hautu is the story of two WWII Conscientious Objectors put away in the rugged Hautu detention camp near Tūrangi on the Desert Road south of Taupo and their supportive womenfolk who were living in Christchurch and on the West Coast” in the South Island. Kathleen states that peaceful energisers come through in NZ, every decade and this ideal moves around the country as in George Armstrong up here in Auckland with the Peace flotilla and Bunny McDiarmid and her Greenpeace work. Especially with the Rainbow Warrior moving the people in the Marshall islands away from the radioactive island that the US atomic testers used and then sailed away from. The bombing in Auckland Harbour and all the other important Greenpeace issues that are still with us today. And Nicky Hager NZ’s top independent researcher and Kate Dewes - all have worked for decades, on peace issues, to bring more peace in our world. Kathleens Home Turf That Riccarton borough in Christchurch was the first Nuclear Free area in NZ. – That is where Kate Dewes lives and where Kate Sheppard once worked and lived. Deans bush there too. It’s a place of much change. Trees in the seven hectare bush include ancient kahikatea, totara, matai and hinau. The bush is now protected by a predator proof fence and is home to small populations of the Canterbury tree wētā and great-spotted kiwi/ roroa. Before European settlement, Pūtaringamotu was a valuable source of food and timber for the Māori. From the bush they produced carvings and canoes, and preserved pigeons. These trees, up to 600 years old, are the descendents of a podocarp forest established over 6,000 years ago. They are the sole Canterbury remnant of kahikatea floodplain forest and as such have national significance. Haharanga – Healing Journeys. He Oranga He Oranga Healing Journeys Many of Kathleen’s friends got breast cancer and numbers of them died. She talked to people who had terrible prognosis yet had survived and she found that it was in the quiet areas  of  place and the space – that healing took place. This inspiring feature documentary follows the journeys of eleven cancer survivors through - bone, bowel, breast, ovarian, prostate, brain cancers, Hodgkins and nonHodgkins lymphoma, and leukaemia - to better health. It begins where the boiling heart of the earth rises up to the surface. It climbs the mountain peaks, descends the valleys and flows through the bush and on out to sea, exquisitely blending taonga puoro - traditional Maori music, Celtic harp and flute, and contemporary waiata. She found that when people shifted to a more conducive environment their health improved immensely. That it was in the forest the ngahere the ancient forest  - the puawai – the blossom of the ancient forest are very healing in so many ways same for the way – running water swift flowing water helps cleanse - plus mirimiri  a rubbing motion this inspired her to do the film Earth Whisperers Papatuanuku. Earth Whisperers  Papatuanuku. Starring Rita Tupe – Tuhoi healer  Craig Potton EYEla  burgess herbal, herbalist, Gerry Findlay talks with birds Alan marks the botanist, hugh wislon who has a thousand hectoer  of regenerating forest  Jim ogorman organic farmer in Omaru  Charles Royal maori chef. Kay Backster Seed Saver Makere Ruka – Waitaha kuia.  This film went all over the world.  And going to the huge film festival in Abu Dhabi in the Middle East winning the Audience Award. Then around the world like wildfire. Yet to obtain funding is a major task … Then Water Whisperers Tangaroa Following the water from Mountains down rivers and out to the ocean – to the Poor Knights marine reserve area. Including Leigh as the oldest marine reserve in the world. Raglan Fred Lichtwark and Eva Rikards working on restoring nature in the spirit of kaitiaki went  from lowest to highest fish count in NZ shoreline waters. Riparian planting changed it all around increases of Eels (tuna) whitebait (īnanga) and over marine fish. A great success. In this film there are lots of models for people to follow Muscles farms out in the bay in Takaka were being affected by chemical and nutrient runoff from farmed land – So Landcare a Government Department brought the two groups together and after challenging times have sorted out!  A win win! Actions for today! Locking away huge areas to stop fish depletion and overfishing – Andy Dennis who died recently in Nelson states that half our bays need to be locked up all the way to the 200 mile fishing zone. He maintains that this would allow all fish to recuperate to the same numbers of fish, that were here when Captain Cook arrived. Yes, there are still vested interests who oppose this concept other than wanting to lock areas away – yet, when fishing sanctuaries a put in place the long-term results is for everyone benefits. This interview covers Te Urewera as a park now having human rights and the Whanganui River (awa) being classed as a living entity This opens up the narrative about Papatuanku the earth mother as a living super organism. That includes our intimacy with Papatuanku as a living being. http://www.ourplanet.org/articles/new-zealand-government-acknowledges-a-river-as-a-living-entity-and-a-park-as-having-human-rights Altered Realities That things happen ‘in the moment’ and time can alter and shift, it is not necessarily linear which we usually see from a rational standpoint.   In Earthquakes and Butterflies Kathleen states that time can also expand & contract - especially when major earth moments are happening.

She mentions when Leonard Cohen when he last came to NZ fairly recently, said “you live in the is place that is magical – yet you walk around it as if it is ordinary!” Connection and intimacy with the land whenua. Some years ago American First Nation peoples came to NZ to apologise to the salmon that swim and travel up the Rakaia River in the South Island (Te Waipounamu - The Waters of Greenstone) They wanted to honour the fish, because their rivers are depleted of chinook salmon today. These South Island salmon were brought from America to NZ in 1867. They then spent 4 days and 4 nights at the top end of the river singing, praying, dancing, talking and listening to the river. Plus there other stories of Maori and kaitiakitanga - guardianship, protection, preservation or sheltering. Kaitiakitanga is a way of managing the environment, based on the traditional and cultural methods.

Guiding Principle, Quote or Mantra Charlie - “This too shall pass.” Which is both the good news and the bad news. Whatever difficulty you are dealing with will pass, and the relationship you are in is also temporary so instead of missing a minute of the precious connection you have, just be open and honest and considerate and vulnerable with your partner. Remembering this will help to keep things in perspective. When You Tripped Up Linda - At one point Charlie had a corporate job that kept him away from home quite a bit when their children were small and she was pretty upset about it.

And this co-creative flow is still a frequent part of their relationship today. Charlie - When he left his corporate job it was because of the very clear the toll it was taking on their marriage, on the family and on his own soul. He was also aware he was leaving an environment that had been very pleasurable and he was grieving the sense of purpose he had in this work. This led to a depression that lasted several months. Like many men, he had tied in a lot of his worth to what he could provide to his family and other people. And for the first time in his adult life he was totally unproductive. He felt like he was a burden to the whole family and to Linda. One day he talked with Linda about all this and said how sorry he was and that he felt totally useless in that moment. And he really had no idea when or if this would ever end. And Linda looked in...
