144 tiles, often green and white in color, always clicking and clacking throughout the strategic, four-person game. It's been around since the 1800s, and it crossed the biggest ocean in the world to arrive here in America, where decades later, it's become a phenomenon. Mahjong is taking over social clubs, senior centers, kitchen tables and even breweries around the country – and here in Boston. Two local experts give us the inside scoop on all things Chinese mahjong.

In this bonus episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B and Yomi dive into layered conversations around identity, accountability, cultural sensitivity, and modern relationships, blending personal stories with sharp social commentary and listener-driven discussions. The episode begins with reflections on the purpose of Selective Ignorance and the realities of navigating uncomfortable conversations in today’s climate [00:00], before transitioning into an honest breakdown of diversity initiatives in corporate America and the ongoing tension surrounding inclusion, representation, and performative allyship in professional spaces [ 02:26 ]. Mandii and Yomi unpack how corporations often struggle to balance optics with genuine cultural understanding, while also discussing the emotional labor marginalized communities face in these environments. The conversation deepens as the hosts tackle the ongoing debate around reclaiming language, identity politics, and the sensitivity surrounding words within marginalized communities [ 14:31 ]. Through personal anecdotes and cultural observations, they explore who gets to reclaim certain language, the nuances of intent versus impact, and how identity continues to shape modern conversations around race, belonging, and self-expression. Later in the episode, the dialogue shifts into friendship dynamics, loyalty, and accountability within personal relationships [ 29:51 ], where the hosts examine how honesty, boundaries, and emotional maturity affect both platonic and romantic connections. Closing out the episode, Mandii and Yomi unpack the fine line between cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation [ 35:52 ], discussing how fashion, music, language, and internet culture continue to blur those boundaries in an era driven by social media and viral trends. Filled with humor, thoughtful debate, and relatable storytelling, this bonus episode delivers a candid conversation about identity, culture, and navigating social awareness in an increasingly connected world.

Philip Trumpler, geboren 1972 in Zürich, machte eine kaufmännische Lehre – und brach dann aus allem aus. Mit 19 erlebte er seine ersten Astralreisen und verbrachte Zeit als Laie im ältesten Kloster des Bergs Athos. Danach reiste er nach Westafrika, wo er in Ghana und Gabun in spiritistische und initiatorische Traditionen eingeweiht wurde. Es folgten Mexiko, der peruanische Amazonas und nach weiteren Stationen schliesslich der Himalaya, wo er mit 39 seinen Guru fand und in Kriya Yoga initiiert wurde. Heute lebt er auf Madagaskar, wo er in den Stamm der Mikea aufgenommen wurde – einer der letzten Jäger-und-Sammler-Gemeinschaften der Insel. Im Gespräch erzählt Philip von einem Leben zwischen den Welten. Er beschreibt, wie er als Kind Geister sah, wie man ihm sagte, das gebe es nicht – und wie er diesen Faden mit 19 wieder aufnahm. Was alle Stationen verbindet, ist eine beharrliche Neugier: Philip will nicht glauben, sondern sehen. Und was er sieht, ist so weit ausserhalb des Normalen, dass er es selbst kaum fassen kann – ohne aber daran zu zweifeln. Wir sprechen über:

Who invented the spiritual vocabulary of the modern world — karma, reincarnation, yoga studios, the idea that you can be "spiritual but not religious"? What if the hidden masters living in remote Tibetan mountains who inspired her weren't real — but the New Age movement they sparked absolutely was? And can you change the course of Western spirituality forever while being accused of fraud, plagiarism, and dropping fake letters through the ceiling?Peter and Afua explore the extraordinary life of Helena Blavatsky: Russian aristocrat, globe-trotting mystic, chain-smoking occultist and the most polarising spiritual figure of the 19th century — whose Theosophical Society gave us yoga mats, abstraction in art, and the modern wellness industry, all while she battled accusations of being one of history's greatest frauds.0:00 Introduction: The Woman Who Invented New Age Spirituality4:15 Russian Aristocrat: Growing Up Between Two Worlds9:40 The Lost Years: Tibet, Egypt, and the Mysterious Mahatmas16:20 Arriving in New York: Spiritualism, Grief, and the Telegraph23:10 Meeting Henry Steel Olcott: The Partnership That Changed Everything28:35 Isis Unveiled: 1,200 Pages That Sold Out in 10 Days35:50 Moving to India: Strategic Genius or Cultural Appropriation?41:20 The Mahatma Letters: Messages from the Ceiling47:05 The Coulomb Scandal and the Hodgson Report53:30 Vindication?

Think of Katy Perry in her video for This Is How We Do, Madonna in a traditional Berber outfit at the 2018 VMA awards, or Adele with her hair in Bantu knots to mark Notting Hill Carnival, this is cultural appropriation. It's a practice which has caused regular controversy in the world of pop culture. Most often, white artists are accused of using ideas, symbols or other items which come from non-Western minority cultures. The definition of cultural appropriation itself is somewhat controversial, with many saying it is often misapplied by the general public. Its meaning has evolved over time to have negative connotations. t's problematic when someone belonging to a dominant community uses cultural elements from an oppressed people, for their own artistic or commercial benefit. In 1976, art historian Kenneth Coutts-Smith wrote one of the first essays to discuss cultural appropriation. He didn't actually use the term itself, but brought together the ideas of class appropriation and cultural colonialism. What is cultural appropriation? What's wrong with mixing cultures? So what could they do differently? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Guests: Kyra Klein, Physiotherapist & Shamanic Healer | Matthew Johnson, Somatic Therapist Business: Body Language | Squamish, BC | trainbodylanguage.com   What if the pain you feel in your body is actually the voice of something your mind hasn't found words for yet? In this episode, hosts Harmony Slater and Russell Case sit down with two extraordinary healers—Kyra Klein and Matthew Johnson, co-creators of Body Language in Squamish, British Columbia—to explore what it really means to heal the whole human system.   Kyra is Harmony's cousin, reunited through Ancestry.com in one of the most unexpected family stories you'll ever hear. A trained physiotherapist, yoga teacher, and shamanic practitioner, Kyra has spent over a decade learning to read the body's deepest stories through touch, intuition, and energy work. Her partner Matt came to healing through a radically different path—as a nationally ranked sport climbing coach who suppressed his emotions with elite precision, until a family loss and near-death illness shattered everything he thought he knew.   Together, Kyra and Matt have built a practice that bridges physiotherapy, somatic therapy, breathwork, shamanic ceremony, and psychedelic integration—because they've learned that no single modality can heal the whole person.   In this conversation, you'll discover: Why the body stores emotional and traumatic history in physical form How Matt's three-month health crisis—where he lost a third of his body weight and negotiated with death itself—became his initiation into healing What somatic therapy offers that traditional talk therapy cannot How Kyra reads the emotional story underneath physical symptoms through touch The difference between caring for someone and carrying them Why breathwork ceremony can be as powerful as psychedelic medicine What the Pacha Mesa shamanic tradition teaches about reconnecting to the natural world How integration is the missing piece in most healing journeys Why the West is finally waking up to what indigenous and Eastern traditions have always known   This conversation is rich, tender, occasionally hilarious, and deeply grounded in the lived experience of two people who chose to turn toward their own healing—and built a business helping others do the same.   ⭐ Want to go deeper? The full conversation about Harmony and Russell's personal journeys with Kyra and Matt—including their integration experiences—is available exclusively inside the Finding Harmony Community: community-harmonyslater.com   Timestamps [00:00] Welcome to Finding Harmony [01:00] Introducing Today's Theme: Whole Human Healing [03:00] Meet Kyra Klein & Matthew Johnson: Body Language, Squamish BC [06:00] The Ancestry.com Discovery: How Harmony Found Her Cousin [09:00] Soul Collision: How Kyra and Matt Met on Hinge and Knew Immediately [12:00] What It Means to Build a Relationship Around Healing [14:00] Matt's Background: Canadian National Sport Climbing Coach [15:30] The Moment Everything Broke: A Family Loss and a Health Crisis [18:00] Three Months Without Food: Negotiating with Death [21:00] Cashews, Consciousness, and Coming Back [24:00] Kyra's Spiritual Awakening: Spirits in Her Bedroom as a Child [28:00] From High-Performance Sport to Physiotherapy: The Body as Teacher [32:00] Kyra's Approach: Reading the Emotional Story Beneath Physical Symptoms [38:00] The Mind-Body Split: What Western Medicine Got Wrong [40:00] Somatic Therapy: Getting Out of the Story and Back into the Body [44:00] Why Intense Practice Can Be a Way to Avoid Feeling [47:00] Body Language: Learning to Understand What Your Body Is Saying [52:00] How Healing Happens in Stillness [56:00] Matt's Spiritual Awakening Through Meditation [59:00] Kyra's First Psilocybin Journey and the Birth of Something New [01:01:00] Integration: Why Openings Without Integration Don't Stick [01:04:00] The Pacha Mesa Shamanic Tradition: Earth-Honoring Philosophy [01:09:00] Cultural Appropriation and Sacred Transmission [01:11:00] Ceremony, Ritual, and What We've Lost as a Culture [01:14:00] How Kyra and Matt Set Sacred Space for Breathwork Ceremonies [01:18:00] The Power of Collective Healing [01:19:00] Where to Find Body Language   Connect with Kyra & Matt Website: trainbodylanguage.com Instagram: @trainbodylanguage Somatic therapy & psychedelic integration support available virtually (sliding scale pricing) Physiotherapy, shamanic therapy, and holistic sessions in Squamish, BC   Resources Mentioned Gabor Maté – Compassionate Inquiry Professional Training Pacha Mesa Tradition teachers: Robin and Darcy Heart of the Healer tradition How to Change Your Mind – Michael Pollan Ancestry.com   Key Takeaways The body stores emotional and traumatic history as physical pattern Healing is a lifelong path—you either turn toward yourself or you don't Somatic therapy gets you out of your story and back into felt experience Integration is the missing piece in most spiritual and healing journeys Breathwork ceremony can occasion mystical experience without plant medicine You can become addicted to anything—even spiritual practice—as a way to avoid feeling Genuine spiritual connection to the natural world is what the West is hungry for Your outer healer helps clear the path; the healing intelligence lives inside you

The issue of cultural appropriation has been back in the news recently after an Australian brand called itself Aroha. That got us thinking about the process of naming your business. In the case of the activewear company called Aroha, the founder has admitted her research was "surface level" and since the backlash is now weighing up whether to keep using the word. The Hoka shoe brand is another high profile example of using te reo Maori words as a brand name. Hoka roughly translates from te reo Maori as "to fly". So we asked Johnson McKay from Maori owned consultancy Ira to join us to discuss.

Send us a textIn this powerful episode of the Concrete Genius Podcast, Sauce Mackenzie breaks down culture, credit, and respect—and why Black Americans must stop outsourcing their identity, voice, and leadership.From celebrity politics and cultural imitation to hip-hop, reparations, immigration, and the protection of Black women and children, this conversation challenges emotional thinking and calls for strategic unity. Sauce speaks honestly about lived Black American experience, why not all struggles are interchangeable, and why respect for our history, contributions, and trauma matters.The episode also dives into:• Who benefits from Black culture—and who gets erased• Why entertainers protect their interests, not the community• The loss of militancy in hip-hop and political voice• Reparations, voting power, and economic unity• Domestic violence, emotional manipulation, and protecting our youth• Masculinity, boundaries, and accountability in public spacesThis is not anti-immigrant. This is pro-Black American, pro-self-respect, and pro-future.

In this episode of Next Economy Now, Erin Axelrod speaks with Fabiola Santiago, founder and executive director of Mi Oaxaca, about what Indigenous worldviews can teach us about belonging, reciprocity, and everyday consumption. Drawing from her experience as a diasporic Zapotec woman from Oaxaca and a public health researcher, Fabiola explores the hidden systems behind mezcal, food, and tourism, and how extraction and cultural appropriation shape communities and ecosystems.

This nation's troubled history with Manifest Destiny will continue to haunt us for some time. Throughout the decades some Native voices have emerged and contributed to the ongoing cultural conversation: most recently on the Broadway stage, on film, and television, and this awareness might move us towards some, if not restitution for atrocities past, at least a dialogue that might point the way towards the future.Today Double Trouble features the efforts of two important Americana artists, neither one Native American, but both identifying with them. Johnny Cash believed that he was part Cherokee- (a notion disproved by DNA). They both raised their voices in advocacy with the dispossessed. Pete La Farge wrote The Ballad of Ira Hayes, which Johnny Cash delivers here, and then Mr. La Farge himself mourns the disappearance of the Coyote as a consequence of Capitalism's rapacious destruction of sacred lands.JOHNNY CASHFrom his 1963 concept album “Bitter Tears: Ballads of the American Indian”, The Ballad of Ira Hayes tells the story of a WW2 War Hero, one of the men raising the flag over Iwo Jima in that iconic photo. Upon returning to the states, Ira had to confront the irony of his impossibly low status on home soil, and descended into alcohol addiction and death. Pete La Farge wrote 5 of the songs on Cash's album, and became known, along with Buffy St. Marie, as one of the most prominent singer-songwriters concerned with Native themes. Johnny Cash was a life-long representative of Native peoples, trying through his popular status to bring about an awareness of the wrongs that had been committed in the name of “progress”. PETE LA FARGEGiven the focus of his creative output during his short life - he died, age 34, of a stroke - one might assume that Mr. La Farge was Native American, but not so: he was the son of an anthropologist and Pulitzer Prize winning novelist and a Rhode Island heiress. Growing up in New Mexico and Colorado, he developed a love of Native American culture, and that became his artistic touchstone. Most famous for The Ballad of Ira Hayes, his tribute to a discarded, fallen hero, the song has been covered by Bob Dylan and Pete Seeger among many others. Here, in Coyote, La Farge channels the mournful sound of the dispossessed animal as it fades away into the ether, after losing its habitat to business interests - an issue we're still dealing with today.

  Ritual has always been part of human life—woven into traditions, ceremonies, and even the everyday moments we barely notice (think birthday candles). But what happens when we consciously bring ritual into our coaching, our groups, and our own lives? In this episode, Joanna shares why ritual is one of the most powerful tools for transformation you can use with your clients (and for yourself). Drawing from neuroscience, spiritual wisdom, and decades of her own experience as a ritualist, she explores how ritual creates meaning, regulates the nervous system, and helps us embody breakthroughs on the deepest levels. You'll learn: How ritual affects the brain and body—supporting emotional regulation, social bonding, focus, and even motivation. Joanna's personal journey into ritual and ceremony, and how it has shaped her work as a coach and facilitator. Why ritual activates all four levels of learning—mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual—for deeper embodiment and integration. Real-world examples of using ritual in client work, from marking transitions like divorce or career shifts, to releasing unhelpful patterns, to building team cohesion in business settings. Why ritual matters now more than ever in a culture often devoid of meaning—and how you can begin to create rituals that are authentic, ethical, and deeply impactful. Whether you're guiding 1:1 clients, leading groups, or simply seeking to live with more presence and connection, this episode will inspire you to explore ritual as a transformational practice.

In this episode, we're joined by Danielle Bayard Jackson, a leading women's relational health educator and author of Fighting for Our Friendships, to unpack the real (and often unspoken) dynamics of female friendships. From ghosting and group chat drama to making new friends after 40, Danielle shares the science behind connection, why conflict is inevitable (and even healthy), and how to protect your relationships through life's biggest transitions - divorce, motherhood, moves, career shifts, and everything in between. If you've ever felt left out, let down, or just totally overwhelmed by friendship in adulthood, this episode is for you.

What the heck is "Code Switching"? Jacob attempts to break it down for Josh — gently, thoughtfully… and totally in vain. Because Josh? He's not here for the nuance — he's ready to slam the “cultural appropriation” button like it's a game show buzzer. This episode dives into big ideas with a ridiculous twist. It's deep. It's hilarious. And by the time it's over… you may never look at sushi the same way again! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
