Podcasts about cultural trauma

In this soul-stirring episode, we explore the profound journey of Sujala Shastry, who lost her mother to a brain tumor at age 11 in India. Her story illuminates the complex intersection of cultural silence, emotional isolation, and the transformative power of breaking generational patterns around grief.Key Takeaways:The impact of losing a mother in a joint family system that provided physical but not emotional support.How 20 years of survival mode led to disconnection, anxiety, and lost memories.The awakening that came with motherhood and the desire to heal generational trauma.The cultural dynamics of grief in Indian versus Western society.Finding one's voice and creating boundaries after decades of people-pleasing.The launch of her podcast "Discovering Journeys" as a platform for authentic connection.Sujala shares how one can be profoundly lonely even when surrounded by loving family, the importance of emotionally safe spaces in healing childhood loss, and how unprocessed grief affects identity formation and relationships. This episode will inspire the importance of taking steps toward healing sooner rather than later, not as a means to rush, emotionally bypass, or forget. Instead, one must immerse oneself in one's inner emotional world to truly feel the hurt and pain so that it can be transmuted to live as full of a life as possible.

Kyomi O'Connor's story is a profound testament to resilience, the power of self-discovery, and the magic of love. Kyomi, the author of "A Sky of Infinite Blue: A Japanese Immigrant's Search for Home and Self," shared her journey from a difficult childhood in Japan to finding her true self in the United States. Kyomi is candid about the verbal abuse she endured from her family, the cultural expectations that kept her feeling undervalued, and the struggles she faced in defining her own identity. Despite the adversity, Kyomi's unwavering determination and resilience shone through. She emphasized the importance of staying true to oneself, irrespective of societal or familial pressures. Kyomi shares her life experiences and deep insights into identity, femininity, and love that leave a lasting impact. Her words resonate deeply when she speaks about finding light in the darkness and the journey toward self-discovery and self-acceptance. And then there's Kyomi's captivating love story with her late husband, a remarkable tale of serendipity, fate, magic, and love at first sight. Her magical story inspired her memoir, "A Sky of Infinite Blue." For anyone needing inspiration, we invite you to check out Kyomi's book on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and her website KyomiOConnor.com.

This episode explores the many nuances and layers around cultural trauma. The reverberations of it. How colonialism works itself into our language, then our values, and then our realities.This is a powerful discussion about a man who reflected on his own internalized racism and colonialism. He talks about how teenagers in Zimbabwe rebel against their own culture, in hopes to be more "Black American" and "civilized".Tapi opened Tapi Tapi Ice Cream in Cape Town, South Africa to teach people,  native and non-native to Africa, about indigenous African culture. He blends forgotten native foods & spices into ice cream. It has become a vehicle to reconnect people to their roots & to the roots of African culture.For more information on Tapi, please visit: https://www.tapitapi.co.za/ and you can see his work on Instagram @_tapi_tapi

I'm joined by indigenous medicine woman Asha Frost. We explore the nuances of cultural trauma and how to heal that collectively. Asha comes with a unique and powerful sense of unconditional love. Her presence makes this work, amongst natives and non-natives, safe and powerful because she sees us all as relatives and, essentially, needing the same thing: connection to the self, land, and one another.This conversation reminds me how the body is always connected. It's the mind that forgets, becomes distracted, or even represses natural expressions due to constructs and concepts. We talk about the cultural trauma that indigenous peoples experienced and continue to experience and how, together, we can weave culture and create the capacity to hold the collective pain that our newfound, colonized countries were founded on and still hold so much of.Asha also reminds me of how profound it is to not attach to concepts about other people. She says "I'm here for unity" and that's how our work intersects. We're here to practice decolonizing our psyches and bodies so that we can see individuals without projected constructs that would divide us.For more information on Asha's work, please visit https://ashafrost.com/.

Today we are talking with Krista Day-Gloe, who is a licensed clinical social worker. She started working with children and realized the nutritional component, they would come in all over the place and it was because they weren't nourished and they were essentially hangry. That's when she realized that there is this mind body connection and she began researching how to become a dietitian. She ended up discovering a residential treatment center for eating disorders, where she worked with mostly woman. Eventually she turned to private practice and that's where she is now. Her husband became sick with chronic health issues and food intolerance and she began to devour mind/body and realizing how important it is. Can't treat as separate entities, but rather integrate it and think of it has a highway and rather then have each doctor, therapist, health coach stay in their own lane, they should all merge and work together. It's a process and you've got to take small steps. Ancestral/Cultural Trauma is when a group of people have a negative long lasting experience which undermines values and purpose of their world views and manifest into hopelessness and despair. To hear more on this topic and how we can communicate better with our children take a listen. You can find Krista at healingrootswellnesscenter.com

This presentation is an Indigenous autoethnographic study of a family's story of survival through the Native American boarding school system. Although this project was in a part an academic exercise, it was also an effort to reclaim pieces of a family's experience that was purposefully silenced and erased from mainstream hegemonic nationalist narratives.

The Derek Chauvin trial for the murder of George Floyd has gone to jury and I'm numb. When the killing happened, I decided to only watch the footage of the killing once out of respect. Now I have watched this chronicle of depravity hundreds of times and it doesn't get any easier. And it's not sadness, nor anger -- it's trauma. Yale sociologist Jeffrey Alexander says cultural trauma occurs when members of a group feel they have been subjected to a horrendous event that leaves indelible marks upon their group consciousness. That trauma becomes a part of the collective memory and identity of a group. Think the Jews in the Holocaust, or Asian Americans and Japanese internment. Now, what's angering is the dismissal of that trauma by people who try to legitimize Mr. Floyd's murder, and others by saying he must have done something. The history of criminalizing and rendering blacks as hyper violent has happened since slavery. Real public policies restricted economic opportunities and housing

Da qualche anno ormai, la dinamica migratoria che aveva interessato l'Italia dalla metà degli anni Settanta e poi, impetuosamente, dagli anni Novanta si sta esaurendo. Che cosa c'è di nuovo nell'immigrazione italiana? Qual è il ruolo dei rifugiati in questo contesto? Perché bisogna guardare anche alle migrazioni post-coloniali per capire quel che sta succedendo in Italia? E l'Italia è un caso eccezionale rispetto al panorama europeo. A queste domande rispondono tre ospiti. Milena Belloni, ricercatrice presso la Fondazione della Ricerca Scientifica delle Fiandre ad Anversa, studiosa di migrazioni dal Corno d'Africa e autrice del libro "The Big Gamble" (ovvero: La Grande Scommessa. La migrazione degli eritrei verso l'Europa" appena pubblicato da University of California Press (scaricabile gratuitamente dal sito di UCP). Giuseppe Sciortino, ordinario di Sociologia all'università di Trento dove insegna "Global Cultures and Societies", autore di molte pubblicazioni scientifiche sull'immigrazione, tra cui ricordiamo: Rebus Immigrazione, Bologna: Il Mulino, 2017. Recentemente ha curato "The Cultural Trauma of Decolonization. Colonial Returnees in the National Imagination" per Palgrave, 2020.Asher Colombo, professore ordinario di Sociologia all'Università di Bologna, dove insegna "Sociology of International Migration" e presidente dell'Istituto Cattaneo. Ha all'attivo molti libri e articoli scientifici sull'immigrazione. L'ultimo è: “Immigration Italian Style, 1977-2016”  (con G.

Tada Hozumi is a somatics practitioner, and one of the leaders of a movement known as cultural somatics. Basically, cultural somatics explores how our culture influences our bodies - how we move, how we interpret reality through our senses, how we think about the relationship between mind and body. 

Tada Hozumi is a somatics practitioner, and one of the leaders of a movement known as cultural somatics. In this challenging conversation, we discuss how our cultures can traumatize us and predispose us to oppress other cultures.

Our first episode of Breathe, Baby, Breathe is a recording of our Africa Day Virtual Retreat: Breathing the Fresh Air of African Values, held on Monday, May 25th. It was a time to lift our collective spirits and ground ourselves by remembering who and whose we are as the children of Africa. We invite you to sit back, open your mind and your heart, and breathe...Listeners' note: we were unable to remove approximately 90 seconds of the background noise that occurs during President Aird's opening remarks. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

In the face of terrorism and the auspice of civility, we need now more than ever to own our power and our voice, and notice what’s really going on around us. This week, Dr. Venus gives us context around the police killing Black people from the standpoint of being an identity theorist, a cultural critic, and a thought leader. She reads excerpts from a few of her favorite books and discusses why we are triggered as a collective consciousness when we see another Black death in the news. Every historical moment saw a bad time before things got better, and now is the time to speak up and share your pain.   Key Takeaways: [3:02] Each time we see a Black man being beaten or killed, it hits us so hard. It triggers our collective memory of slavery and brings us right back to that fearful and powerless space. [12:28] The show of force in these brutal killings is a performance of white power and a tactic that has been used historically to keep all of us in a low-level state of fear. [17:10] You need to vote. Don’t let the threat of cultural trauma silence your voice. Feel your feelings and speak up. [21:48] In every historical moment, things got worse before they get better. The bad stuff has to come to the surface in order for us to get better and healthier. [23:43] It’s not just a bad situation. It’s a terrorist act and it has been enacted before so many times.   Mentioned: Dr. Venus Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram  “Hot Mess Millionaire” Amazon Series  Free Gift When You Join The Truth Tribe The Black Woman Millionaire Hot Mess Edition  Join the conversation!

Red Lake Nation students offer a new take on mental health and life in a proverbial warzone.

At the planning meeting for the GHI, which took place in Dublin in May 2018, the partners felt strongly that the terms we were working with—“democracy”, “crisis” and “cultural trauma”—needed to be discussed and defined at the beginning of our institute in Dubrovnik so that all researchers had a point of common reference. For this reason, on the second day of the GHI in Dubrovnik, a panel comprising of Professor Rosemary Byrne (NYU Abu Dhabi), Professor Mary Cosgrove (TCD), and Professor Aditya Mukherjee (Jawaharlal Nehru University) sought to examine the key terms relating to crises of democracy and cultural trauma.

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Cheryl Lucas. Throughout her ceramic career she has worked in many formats including functional pottery, sculptural installation and architectural work. In 2011 multiple earthquakes hit her home area of Christchurch, devastating the city and creating a turning point in Cheryl’s work. She has reacted to the destruction and subsequent rebuilding of the city with multiple bodies of work that deal with the events. In our interview we talk about making art as a way to make sense of tragedy, transitioning between technical and conceptual bodies of work, and helping to rebuild the city by making large scale chimney pots used on historic buildings. For more information on Cheryl’s work please visit her profile on the International Academy of Ceramics www.aic-iac.org/en/member/lilian-cheryl-lucas/.      This interview is part of a New Zealand series taped in April and May of 2018.

There is not much formal research to refer to on cultural trauma.   When cultural trauma exists we see people picturing the worst with lack of control. We have lived through change before, but this time our culture has been assaulted. President Elect Trump's comments have given permission for us to change ours ways of thinking, acting and feeling, a huge cultural shift!  Politics will change (including uniting racist change) but the trauma to our culture will last forever. Cultural shifts seem to come fast and furious.  How do we feel safe? Minimize the personal effect; strengthen our relationships with cultural, non-profit groups we believe in, family, church. Stay in the moment , empower the individual.  What will happen in four years? We may return to a much more traditional way of living. Duane Bowers offers his expert advice on how to survive this elected cultural shift.  

By comparing the work and career trajectories of these two architect-designers, this paper explored the changes in taste, style and cultural meaning of the dominant trends in Hungarian interior design before and after World War 1.
