Thilla shares her journey as a first-generation Canadian, shaped by her Sri Lankan heritage and North American upbringing. Raised in a family where discussions about sex were taboo and dating was reserved for an arranged marriage, she faced immense pressure and conflicting messages from both cultures. These challenges left her grappling with feelings of shame and guilt surrounding anything sexual. The pressure intensified after marriage, with cultural expectations focused on starting a family. Struggling with fertility issues, Thilla's desire for sex waned, prompting her to find Janna and the Wanting It More program. Through this journey, she learned to untangle the complex narratives surrounding sex from both cultures, recognizing their negative impact on her sexual desires. WIM provided Thilla with invaluable insights, enabling her to reshape her approach to sex. By delving into specific details, she reflects on her transformative journey and how she now embraces a healthier perspective on sexuality, liberated from the weight of cultural expectations.Join the Waitlist for the June/July 2024 round of Wanting It More. ​Join Now.​ Leave a podcast review: We'd so appreciate your ​rating and review​ to help the podcast reach more women.

Sangeeta Sandrasegar's art practice is centred on hybridity theories, and explores her life in Australia as an artist of Malaysian, Indian and Australian heritage, and the relationship between migrant communities and homelands. Her practice, including her highly regarded work with paper cutouts, has engaged with shadows as an ephemeral motif symbolising the movement of cultures and people. Recently too, Sangeeta's work has involved the dying of large flowing fabric panels, with a particular focus on the nature and message of colours, particularly INDIGO Good friend of this podcast Pedram Khosronejad (Adjunct Professor at the School of Social Sciences at Western Sydney University) spoke to Sangeeta via Zoom, and asked her about the nature of her work, the strong international influences, and the manner by which curators, gallerists and artists work together.  Information about Sangeeta's work acquired by the Museum of Contemporary Art here: https://www.mca.com.au/artists-works/artists/sangeeta-sandrasegar/ A transcript of this interview is available for download HERE.

Join Dr. Patty Jimenez as she shares the joys of being raised with Franciscan values, translates theological terms and teachings into everyday language, and the creates spaces of belonging for young Latina woman raised in the United States. For a video version of this episode, see: https://youtu.be/etFD7Z-4Vsw     From Patty Jimenez' interview: “When I returned to school I am reading Bonaventure, Scotus, and Francis and Clare's writings, I'm going, some of this stuff is pretty lofty.  But when I broke it down to the essentials of hospitality, of care for creation, this is what my family lived every day, especially the women in my family; it was really powerful to see that written theologically, to see that expressed and be like, oh yeah, this is us.”   Regarding moving between cultures: “I think first is to not make assumptions. It's really important to ask a lot of questions. Oftentimes people just kind of jump in based on what is on the surface level, but they don't really know what's behind it. … I've seen that happen over and over again in so many situations, making assumptions about other people without taking consideration about what we are doing or not doing that is causing what's happening.”   “When you deal with a lot of cross-cultural issues, oftentimes just feeling heard causes a shift. That's sometimes all people need, is to be heard.”   “We all belong. If we've ever felt that we didn't, it's usually because we haven't been adequately provided for or cared for. That has resonated for me as a Latina that's been raised here in the United States. And so I take a huge responsibility now of how do I create belonging for US born and raised Latinas. At times we have to, if we feel like, ‘hey, I don't belong', maybe it's the Spirit that's moving us to create spaces of belonging for others.”   Vernacular theologian: “How do you translate really lofty theological terms or teachings into everyday terms so that anyone can understand it? And so for me it's translated in what we Latina theologians or pastor ministers speak of la vida cotidiana, our everyday life.  And so how do we integrate it and speak in a language that is accessible to most people nowadays?”   For a full transcript, please include episode number and email: fslfpodcast@fslf.org.   References: Brother Ed Dunn and las Posadas at the Border: read about the impact of the San Diego and Tijuana border experience in Patty's life: http://www.ushispanicministry.com/la-posada-at-the-border/   Franciscan School of Theology: “There is a hidden treasure in Catholic Theology called the “Franciscan Tradition.” As Pope Francis reminds us, St. Francis of Assisi is a saint of peace, a saint of the poor, a saint respectful of each person's God-given uniqueness, and a saint with a great love for all God's creatures.” See: https://www.fst.edu/about/   Secular Franciscans: https://www.secularfranciscansusa.org/ .

A sample description: “The three core elements of restorative justice are the interconnected concepts of Encounter, Repair, and Transform. Each element is discrete and essential. Together they represent a journey toward wellbeing and wholeness that victims, offenders, and community members can experience. Encounter leads to repair, and repair leads to transformation.” See: https://restorativejustice.org/what-is-restorative-justice/   Recetas: This initiative, founded by Patty, is dedicated to empowering Latinas to live joyous, well-balanced lives while deepening connections with themselves, their community, and their culture.

Consider also a smart phone app called “Centering Prayer,” offered by Contemplative Outreach. You will find many regional websites online listing area centering prayer groups. For those who live in Minnesota, see: https://www.minnesotacontemplativeoutreach.org/groups.html   Vernacular Theology: “Bernard McGinn … coined the term Vernacular Theology. This form of theology focused on an audience of ordinary women and men who sought to find God in their daily experiences instead of the educated elite or the monks and nuns in the enclosure.”  Excerpt from Francis as Vernacular Theologian  by Dominic Monti, OFM: https://www.franciscantradition.org/images/stories/custodians/03_Francis_as_Vernacular_Theologian.pdf   Patty Catholic School photo   Patty Jimenez being confirmed in Mexico

In a visit to Novellara, Italy last summer, our host Eleanor Paynter and guest host Elena Bellina learned about the community of Sikh Indians who began migrating to the area in the 1980s.

Every kid needs to have their own version of formative experiences. But the question is, which ones? What are the essential experiences every kid needs? Here's a starting point: Failure: every kid ought to have failed as they grow up so they can understand their own limits, how to process guilt or shame or humiliation, and find a deeper resolve to keep persisting. I wrote about failure in other places, too, in case you want to do a deeper dive (here and here). Success: every kid needs to experience success at an adult level. Everyone yearns to add value. It's a core longing we all share. Every kid wants to know that what they do (and are capable of doing) has real value to another human. For further thinking, here's an episode where we dive in. Adventure: similar to my experiences studying abroad, every kid needs adventure in their life. Adventure makes us come alive, feel free, experience joy, and have stories to tell. Some kids will create adventures for themselves, whether you like it or not, but many will need our support and encouragement to blaze their own trail and discover what brings them joy. Independence: ultimately, childhood is preparation for adulthood, marked by taking responsibility for yourself. That's why it's so important that kids get the training they need to manage their own affairs and learn about self-sufficiency. As parents and educators, we need to curate experiences for kids that put them in situations where they are making choices for themselves. Crossing Cultures: some kids are born and raised in a diverse environment, but many kids are born and raised in a relatively homogenous context. Regardless, every kid needs to have experiences in other cultures to gain perspective, appreciation, and empathy. Being displaced in another culture can be uncomfortable and stressful, but it can also be a tremendous growth opportunity if done with an open mind and a safe place to debrief, ask questions, and learn. Service: most want their kids to become kindhearted, servant-oriented adults. But how will they, unless they learn those lessons by experience over time? Every kid needs to be deliberately led (okay, forced) to serve others many times throughout their growing-up years for them to make service a regular part of their lives. Work: over the past two decades, we've seen a significant decline in the number of kids with jobs. Some don't work because they're overworked at school if they're on the university track. Some don't work because of their athletic obligations. Others don't work because they don't have transportation (more and more kids delay getting their driver's licenses). But all kids will work when they become adults. How will that go if their first jobs are after they graduate from college? What do you think? What formative experiences have you had that shaped your life for the better? What am I missing from my list above?

Middle grade is a time when readers can be especially moved by the books they pick up. Books can center kids marginalized by conflict, can inspire other readers to decenter themselves, to listen better, and to be more intentional with welcome signs. In one sense, borders are fiction, lines made up by winners of wars. In another sense, borders have a potent impact on the lives of the people who cross them, often as a result of those wars. but the truth of crossing borders is in the smallest details of people's lives and in the white space between those details. In this episode, three authors reveal the experiential journey of their child characters who cross borders and merge cultures in their books. Thanhhà Lai, Rajani LaRocca, and Jasmine Warga share their personal journeys of arriving in a new land, learning English, making friends, and what inspired them to find their character's voice in poetry. Stories like theirs remind all readers that just by being mindful of the way we treat each other, we can make the world anew … every day.

How many times can Keren bring up food in one episode? In a follow up conversation to Episode 10: "Still Feels Like Home w/ Jahaziel Hiriart" your hosts Page and Keren were inspired by Jazi's story of gaining a deeper appreciation for her Mexican heritage while holding gratitude for the life she's built in America. In this episode, we go in-depth into our own backgrounds and experiences growing up in between cultures. We talk about how openness to other cultures will require some courage to step out of your comfort zone - but it will enrich your experiences and expand your perspectives. As long as you pursue an authentic expression and prioritize human connection, respect, and open-mindedness, there is so much we can learn from one another. Whether it's through cuisine, music, dance, art, holidays, or rituals, there are a myriad of ways we can experience and embrace cultures different than our own. There's something beautiful about making a human connection with someone who has a vastly different cultural upbringing or background, to find that our similarities can create a bridge of understanding.

This week on the show I had the pleasure of interviewing author, cross-cultural competence consultant and coach; Karen Hill Anton. She has written an amazing memoir called The View from Breast Pocket Mountain that I highly recommend! She has been living in Japan since the 1970's, and it was fascinating to hear about how she navigated her way here, motherhood, work and the various cultural differences she encountered. Karen had a lot of wisdom to share about adapting to new situations, dealing with other people's assumptions and discrimination, and how to build fortitude in challenging times. If you enjoyed this episode and it inspired you in some way, we'd love to hear about it and know your biggest takeaway.

In this occasional TPC series in which we consider what might be familiar Christian themes in fresh ways, Dave Schmelzer looks at the unrivaled power of crossing cultures on God's behalf. Why is that one action so often connected with experiencing spiritual power? Dave tells dramatic personal stories on these lines involving, like, Hezbollah, but then has a wealth of day-to-day looks at this, especially zeroing in on how this might play out as we cross profound cultural divisions that might exist between us and our family and friends. Mentioned on this podcast:The Palestinian-American comedian Sammy ObeidGenesis 11:1-9; Genesis 1:28Thomas Merton's thoughts on "the devil's theology" from New Seeds of Contemplation

In Karen's book ‘The View From Breast Pocket Mountain' before I even got to page 50 she had introduced me to her young relationship with Joseph Heller, author of Catch 22, hanging out with Neneh Cherry (childhood hero of mine). Now, I am a sloooooow reader - I like that about myself - I read about 10 books a year and these days listen to more, but I decided to purchase Karen's book and dip in before our conversation. I couldn't put it down. From the first page, that we don't reveal - it has you hooked. And hooked you should be. I am genuinely changed through our conversation - I just loved listening to her talking about being a mother and taking the next steps, humbling herself to being both inside and outside a culture and living a full life in the Japanese countryside. Karen is beautiful and one of the most wonderful things I love about being a woman is how we can traverse with ease across intelligent meaningful conversations with depth and skill to talking about beauty and today was no exception - before we hit record, we both paused and topped up our lipstick! We didn't even touch on the fact that Karen almost became a dancer and taught modern dance and at the end of the conversation, Karen reads from her novel; a wonderful chapter about her relationship with her neighbours - I mean let's just drop MC hammer in here shall we (I also drop a tasty tidbit in here about my history with the Hammer). In terms of brilliance - you can't touch this. (See what I did there?) The questions we DON'T have about our parents and how many stories live in our imagination We talk about imagination and living in the past and the burden of creating anxiety in our fantasies - brilliant coaching fodder! Curiosity and pragmatism She was raised in a time when there was no imaginings about not respecting a parent. It was simply not an option The power and influence of good teachers and mentors and how important the people who will see and witness your potential are. This comes up in a future conversation too (look out for May) AND in the conversation with Leza Lowitz DREAMS - opening the edges of our dreams through contact with people who can open our dreams What happens when she - she just couldn't get enough Following what's in front of you and being swept away - not reckless, not crazy, not even edgy but unafraid Corners - going around a corner and not being afraid and not knowing what's around the corner The joy of becoming a mother and how she never found having a child limiting, she couldn't be more grateful for children and all that role created for her She is absolutely clear in the book about how hard it was on a farm with no running water and toilets they had to empty themselves and 3 young kids - there's NO BS here The tragedy of isolation and the joy of community in motherhood You will have to read the book to get the full dojo experience but Karen teases us with the year they had on a dojo Being in community in the deep Shizuoka countryside on Japan How becoming a Japanese Calligraphy 2-dan (basically better than a black-belt) opened Japanese culture up She stopped being a rebel and what she has to say about standing out and fitting in Life as a cross-cultural coach columnist Her life now, her four adult children and her approach to future projects Instagram @karenhillanton www.karenhillanton.com Buy her book here.

Laurette Bennhold Samaan was born with roots in three distinct cultures. But even as a multicultural native, she says, her missteps have taught her how cross-cultural competency is never fully natural, and cannot be reduced to formulas. Identity, context and humility are critical, she says.   Learn more and read the transcript: https://www.usip.org/publications/2021/02/crossing-cultures-hard-even-multicultural-natives

This episode features a conversation with Karen Hill Anton. For many years Karen wrote the greatly-loved Crossing Cultures column for the Japan Times. Karen arrived in Japan in 1975. Unlike many expatriates, however, she didn’t leading a cosmopolitan lifestyle in Tokyo. She and her husband Bill settled in a rustic farmhouse on the side of a mountain deep in Shizuoka prefecture, where they raised their family and integrated into the local community. Karen is a writer, dancer, artist and intercultural trainer and consultant. We discuss her new memoir—the View from Breast Pocket Mountain—and reflect on the challenges and rewards of intercultural living.

Aaron sits down with Phil Metzger (lead pastor at Calvary San Diego) to talk about the art of "Crossing Cultures." Phil and his family have spent meant years overseas as missionaries and in that time he has learned all about how to communicate and relate to those who see the world differently. The first season of Phil's show is all about racial relations, and so Aaron and Phil discuss the problem of racial blindspots, the need for openness to different points of view, the necessity of reconciliation and forgiveness, and the debate around the "hot button" issue of the phrase "white privilege."

Revelation 5: 9 -10. Mark Hedinger

Ed interviews Putsawan ‘Poy’ Tipsakorn, a friend and former student of his who did an exchange year in the U.S. while in high school. Ed and Poy begin with her background in a small town in Nakhorn Ratchasima province and her conservative all-girls school and how she got the idea to go to the States in the first place.  From there the story moves to upstate New York, where she met her host family and dove right in, making friends in marching band and choir. The academic transition was more difficult, and she had to quickly improve her English and adapt to American customs. Listen in for some classic funny ‘clash of cultures’ stories. Thankfully, Poy thrived in the US, but eventually had to head back home. Classic reverse-culture shock followed, as she had to work to fit back into her own culture. She and Ed discuss what happened upon her return, and her decision to study in an international program for university in Bangkok, which is where she learned even more details about her second home from Ajarn Ed. Follow Poy on Instagram here! As always, the podcast will continue to be 100% funded by listeners just like you who get some special swag from us.

This week, on The Conscious Consultant Hour , Sam welcomes founder and Executive Strategic Consultant, *Dean Foster*. Dean is the founder of DFA Intercultural Global Solutions; and former Worldwide Director of Berlitz Cross-Cultural; and currently Executive Strategic Consultant for Dwellworks Intercultural. His work has taken him to more than 100 countries. He is the host on *CNN* of the nationwide “Doing Business in … ” series; a frequent guest commentator on culture, global work and social issues for *CNN, CNBC,* the *BBC* and other radio and TV shows; and has been interviewed in *Newsweek, USA Today,* *New York Times,* and elsewhere *.* In 2012 Dean was inducted into Worldwide ERC's prestigious *“Hall of Leaders”;* in 2013 he received the Forum for Expatriate Management's acclaimed *Lifetime Achievement Award*. Dean has written many articles and published five books, including *Bargaining Across Borders* ( https://d38rqs2egh08o4.cloudfront.net/link_click/f0yQJ5XfJ7_bkDkc/36005d53214a11aa269901c7e6db790e ) , voted as one of the top ten business books of the year by the American Library Association. As a contributing editor with National Geographic, he wrote the monthly “CultureWise” column appearing in National Geographic Traveler Magazine.  Watch the *Facebook Livestream by clicking here* ( https://www.facebook.com/InspiredThoughtsWithSam/videos/4393348954023716/ ) *.* *‍* ‍ *Segment 1:* The show starts with the weekly quotes from Abraham and the Universe. The first quote has to do with focusing on conquering today. The second is about living in the moment -- the journey is not about getting to the destination, it is about joyfully walking along the path. So often we are just looking to get to the end goal and not appreciating the views on the way there. Sam introduces his guest Dean Foster, (not to be confused with science fiction author Allen Dean Foster). Dean is an extremely accomplished global businessman. He has published 5 books, one of which was voted into the top 10 Business Books of the Year. He consults with organizations on understanding the impacts that culture has when you work with many different backgrounds. *Segment 2:* Dean, like Sam, is a native New Yorker and grew up in an extremely multicultural environment. Dean says multiculturalism is like being a fish in the water, who doesn't see the water. You are often immersed in it without knowing it and Dean suggests that people should be aware of how the cultural differences affect a person's environment. Defaulting to a negative standpoint when we think about culture is not productive, and instead it should be thought of as a gift and opportunity to think about things differently. Sam asks what can be done to be more mindful of cultural differences. Dean gives a two tiered response: (1) turn off your ego, and (2) enlist them as an ally in your journey by asking questions. He suggests that businesses use the differences as a tool to achieve an understanding. *Segment 3:* Sam and Dean use the example of the Japanese, who Sam has worked with closely in the past. They do business community-style which means everyone on the team must have their questions answered, everyone has to look at every detail before they come to a decision, and it must be a consensus. This may be frustrating for the US American who is looking for fast decision making without consulting too heavily with the team. There is an inherent humility with the Japanese, who do not differentiate their solo work from the work of the team, which is very different from the American style of business. They discuss how the Japanese have been wearing masks for so long and the Americans are having trouble latching on to this. Sam says that wearing a mask is an “act of kindness” rather than a political statement - it shows caring for the wellbeing of others. The “collective good” mindset that is common in Asia is a factor as to why they are making such progress with COVID. Dean reminds the audience that it's all about balance. *Segment 4:* Sam asks Dean how he relates to someone who has an extremely different culture from him. Dean says that we must humbly and respectfully ask questions about the things we don't understand. It is important to find the similarities between cultures, but the similarities don't negate the differences. The similarities are what you use to build on, but the differences are what will make the problems. Dean says the biggest challenge we must conquer is denying the differences even though the current generation is more mindful that they exist. The problem is people don't know how to manage them. It is the responsibility of everyone to educate themselves about the variances between the people of this planet. Dean's greatest hope is that as we are forced to interact with each other, we find a way to grow rather than retreating to violence.

Exciting News! We have a new feel, rythym and sound to The Peacebuilding Podcast. Please check it out in this episode. In this next podcast conversation, Susan talks with Dean Foster whose name is synonymous with building intercultural competency. Dean has worked in almost 100 countries, has been a speaker at major business schools in the United States including Harvard and Columbia, is the host on CNN of the nationwide “Doing Business in…” series and is also a frequent guest commentator on culture, global work and social issues for global media networks. What is culture? Who am I culturally speaking? Those are questions that are almost always salient to any conflict resolution or peacebuiliding process. Groups get easily polarized around identity and culture when conflict is handled in an adversarial way. And many of the biggest conflicts on the planet today have a strong component of cultural misunderstanding. As the world get's increasingly more-crowded, it's important that all of us build both our ability to deal with difference in constructive ways and also our understanding of how we differ culturally speaking. Susan likes to say “culture is to a group what personality is to an individual. It's a group's personality, the unique way that a group has devised to deal with our common human challenge of staying alive on the planet.” Susan caught up with Dean somewhere between a trip to Prague and New York. Early on in the interview, Dean says: “When faced with something we don't understand or that we find mystifying, we always have a choice. We can decide to approach it as an opportunity for growth and learning. . . or we can approach it fearfully -- as something dangerous”. Dean talks about his early “cross-cultural education” growing up in Brooklyn, New York and reflects on the shift of globalisation over the last twenty-five, thirty years. The conventional wisdom in the multinational world when Coleman and Foster got started in their professional work was that we have a global multi-national culture now that transcends any invidual culture. Dean says that while there is some truth to this, it is far from accurate. He sees in millennials a greater acceptance that cultural differences exist, but not necessarily a real increase in understanding about what those differences are. Foster talks about some projects he did, supporting an American multi-national working with a Russian team, about China, and about multi-cultural teams where so much business is done these days.

Art reflects the culture from which it is created. This is especially important when a culture is irreparably changed by the forced movement—through situations such as slavery and war—of its people.

From Nintendo’s first Famicom system, Japanese consoles and videogames have played a central role in the development and expansion of the digital game industry. Players globally have consumed and enjoyed Japanese games for many reasons, and in a variety of contexts. This study examines one particular subset of videogame players, for whom the consumption of Japanese videogames in particular is of great value, in addition to their related activities consuming anime and manga from Japan. Through in-depth interviews with such players, this study investigates how transnational fandom operates in the realm of videogame culture, and how a particular group of videogame players interprets their gameplay experience in terms of a global, if hybrid, industry. Mia Consalvo is visiting associate professor in the Comparative Media Studies program at MIT. She is the author of Cheating: Gaining Advantage in Videogames and is co-editor of the forthcoming Blackwell Handbook of Internet Studies.
