Retrospectives are one of the most powerful opportunities a team has to improve. Yet far too often, they're skipped because “we don't have time,” rushed through as an afterthought, or treated as a dull box-checking exercise.  Even worse, sometimes they turn into blame sessions that leave people feeling drained rather than energized.It doesn't have to be that way.  A well-facilitated retrospective can be the most valuable hour of your team's sprint: the time where psychological safety is built, lessons are learned, and real change begins.  With the right approach, retrospectives become not just meetings, but moments of growth, trust, and innovation.

S3|EP41 - Facilitating Human-Elephant Coexistence in Thailand with Anandi Gandhi

The Think Wildlife Podcast

Human-elephant conflict is one of the most pressing challenges in conservation biology, especially across Asia's biodiversity hotspots where elephants and people share fragmented landscapes. In this episode of the Think Wildlife Podcast, Anish speaks with Anandi Gandhi, a PhD researcher at the University of California, Santa Cruz, whose work in Eastern Thailand explores how farmers and elephants navigate complex realities of human-elephant coexistence.Anandi's journey into elephant conservation is as unique as it is inspiring. Coming from a philosophy and agriculture background, she combines anthropology, agriculture, and ecology to study how farmers and elephants interact in one of the most conflict-prone regions of Thailand. With only 3,000–4,000 wild Asian elephants left in Thailand, and around 600 concentrated in the east, human-elephant conflict has already resulted in dozens of deaths this year. Yet, amid habitat fragmentation, habitat loss, and pressures from industrial agriculture, she finds remarkable stories of resilience, tolerance, and coexistence.Drawing on over 15 years of work on farming systems, Anandi highlights how monocrop plantations such as sugarcane, cassava, and rubber fuel human-elephant conflict. Farmers are caught between global markets and government subsidies, often suffering huge losses while being blamed by conservationists. Against this backdrop, she explores how Vanakase (forest gardening) agroforestry systems create biodiversity-rich landscapes that benefit both elephants and people. These agroforests function as ecosystem engineers, mimicking secondary forests while providing food, income, and resilience to climate change. Elephants, the gentle giants of Asia, move through these farms as they would in natural forests—feeding lightly, passing through without causing severe damage.Anandi also reflects on how language shapes conservation practice. While media and policy often frame the issue as “human-elephant conflict,” local farmers prefer terms such as “problems with elephants” or “coexistence.” For government officials, coexistence may mean separation, while for conservationists it suggests harmony. But for Vanakase farmers, coexistence means co-survival: humans and elephants sharing space and resources with mutual respect, grounded in reality rather than idealism. This perspective challenges Western conservation models that separate people from nature and instead points toward community-driven, ground-up coexistence conservation.Beyond research, the episode delves into how regenerative agriculture, permaculture, and biodiversity preservation can tackle not only wildlife conservation challenges but also the global climate crisis. By rethinking agriculture as part of the solution, rather than the problem, Anandi demonstrates how farming can reduce human-farmer conflict, support elephant conservation, and strengthen biodiversity management. Her stories include encounters with elephants like Mamuang, a wild male known and loved by local villagers, who walks peacefully through communities—symbolizing the fragile yet powerful potential of coexistence.This episode sheds light on elephants as keystone species and ecosystem engineers whose survival is intricately linked with that of rural farmers. It examines how biodiversity conservation and biodiversity preservation are inseparable from social and cultural contexts, how habitat loss and fragmentation fuel conflict, and how coexistence offers pathways for the future. By weaving together the voices of farmers, elephants, and conservationists, Anandi's work underscores the importance of empathy, tolerance, and radical imagination in biodiversity management.Join us for this thought-provoking discussion on human-elephant coexistence, agriculture, and conservation biology in Thailand. It is a conversation not only about elephants but about the future of coexistence conservation, biodiversity hotspots, and the survival of both people and gentle giants in a rapidly changing world.#human-elephantconflict #humanelephantcoexistence #humanfarmerconflict #humaelephantcoexistence #elephant #elephants #elephantconservation #Asianephants #asiaticelephants #conservationbiology #biodiversity #biodiversitymanagement #biodiversityconservation #biodiversitypreservation #biodiversityhotspots #keystonespecies #gentlegiants #ecosystemengineers #habitatfragmentation #habitatloss #coexistenceconservation #coexistence #wildlifeconservation Get full access to The Think Wildlife Podcast at anishbanerjee.substack.com/subscribe

The Death Deck: Facilitating Meaningful End-of-Life Conversations

ProAging Podcast

In a recent discussion hosted by Steve Gurney of the Positive Aging Community, Lisa Pahl, a licensed clinical social worker and co-creator of The Death Deck, shared insights into her innovative tool designed to spark meaningful conversations about end-of-life decisions. With 18 years of experience in hospice care and eight years in emergency medicine, Pahl identified a critical gap in how families approach death and dying. Too often, the absence of prior discussions leads to conflict and distress when making healthcare decisions during a medical crisis. The Death Deck, created in 2018, aims to bridge this gap by encouraging open dialogue in a lighthearted yet profound way. Pahl, who became the sole CEO of The Death Deck after buying out her business partner in 2025, continues to expand its reach.What is The Death Deck?The Death Deck is a card game designed to make end-of-life conversations more approachable. By incorporating humor and multiple-choice questions, it helps individuals and families discuss sensitive topics without the heaviness that often accompanies them. Pahl explained that the deck was born out of her desire to reduce chaos and uncertainty at the end of life by empowering people to share their preferences well before a crisis. In 2023, Pahl and her team expanded their offerings with the EOL (End of Life) Deck, a professional tool tailored for hospice and palliative care settings. This deck adopts a softer tone with less humor, focusing on detailed end-of-life preferences.A third deck, the Dementia Deck, is set to launch on September 1st in collaboration with Compassion and Choices. This deck, inspired by their Dementia Values and Priorities Tool, helps individuals articulate care preferences for different stages of dementia, addressing a condition many fear more than death itself.Why These Conversations MatterPahl emphasized that discussing end-of-life wishes is like exercising a muscle—it requires practice to become comfortable. Many avoid these conversations due to fear, believing that talking about death might somehow hasten it. The Death Deck's cards prompt reflection on personal and family attitudes toward death. For example, one card asks, “Growing up, my family dealt with death by: A) talking openly, sharing feelings, stories, and dark humor; B) in a no-nonsense sort of way—shit happens, you move on; or C) keeping it all bottled up and avoiding any discussion.” Pahl shared that her upbringing leaned toward options A and B, with humor often used to cope, while Gurney noted that his family leaned toward avoidance, but his professional work has shifted his perspective, encouraging more open dialogue.How The Death Deck is UsedThe Death Deck serves as a versatile tool for both families and professionals. For families, it provides a structured yet approachable way to discuss end-of-life wishes, often using humor to ease tension. Professionals, particularly in hospice and palliative care, find the cards useful for initiating conversations without making patients or families feel overly vulnerable. As Pahl noted, “It feels a little less vulnerable when I am reading something off a card than if I'm just staring into your eyes asking how you feel about visitors as you're declining.”A Tool for Living WellUltimately, The Death Deck is not just about preparing for death—it's about living more intentionally. As Pahl and Gurney discussed, reflecting on end-of-life preferences often prompts people to prioritize relationships and values in the present. For those interested in exploring this tool, The Death Deck and its companion decks are available at thedeathdeck.com, where additional resources and a blog provide further support for end-of-life planning. As Pahl's work demonstrates, embracing these conversations can transform fear into empowerment, ensuring that both life and death are approached with clarity and connection.

When we talk about the Violet Flame or transmutation of energy we are also talking about the loving energy of St. Germain. The Ascended Master Saint Germain, the Chohan of the seventh ray of freedom, mercy, transmutation, and ritual.  ALL rays and energy come from a source, but Saint Germain's mission is to teach seekers the science of divine alchemy and transmutation. Shifting energy from one form to another. CHANGE. He is said to sponsor all in transition and transformation, which is much of the world right now.  He is a master alchemist of the sacred fire who comes bearing the gift of the violet flame of freedom for world transmutation.Together with his twin flame, the ascended lady master Portia, the Goddess of Justice, he is the hierarch of the Aquarian age. He is the great sponsor of freedom's flame, while Portia is the sponsor of the flame of justice and opportunity. The name Saint Germain comes from the Latin Sanctus Germanus, meaning simply "Holy Brother."   As Chohan, or lord, of the seventh ray, Saint Germain initiates our souls in the science and ritual of transmutation through the violet flame. Saint Germain and Portia deliver to the people of God the dispensation for the seventh age and the seventh ray—the violet ray of freedom, justice, mercy, alchemy, and sacred ritual—a new life wave, a new civilization, a new energy.Diplomats, priests of the sacred fire, actors, writers, and defenders of freedom serve with Saint Germain on the seventh ray.What is the impact of this 7th ray and how do we as humans facilitate this Noble Rite of the Violet Flame.  Listen as Laurie shares the power of activation of the 7th ray and its importance during this time of change and transformation. Send us a textSupport the showThanks for listening - For questions or comments email Laurie at Laurie@yourlifecore.comInstagram @yourlifecore or Twitter @yourlifecore Facebook https://www.facebook.com/YourLifecoreWebsite www.yourlifecore.com

We are delighted to welcome Alexander Dunlap back to the EXALT podcast for a conversation about his latest work. Xander has been looking at rare earth element mining, lithium mining, and solar panel lifecycles in the United States. Right now, he is writing up the research on the disposal and decommissioning of solar panels, which is where our conversation kicks off. Xander found that even in highly regulated states it is more economically efficient to just landfill them rather than recycle them (even if they would be technically recyclable). Low carbon technologies are being used in a lot of insidious ways in industrial and capitalist societies. We need to really reflect on what renewability really means and we need to think hard as researchers before we blindly engage with public relations words (i.e. sustainability, renewability). Check out the Justice in Renewable Energy Supply Chains projects investigating the life cycle of solar panels on the ground, where you can find more information, articles and policy briefs:https://www.bu.edu/igs/research/projects/justice-in-renewable-energy-supply-chains/ If you would like to check out Xander's other episodes, here are the direct links:How is this system killing us and what can we do? https://podcasts.apple.com/fi/podcast/xander-dunlap-how-is-this-system-killing-us-and-what-can-we-do/id1499621252?i=1000650809357 Until You Become Ungovernable, Why Would Anyone Listen to You? https://podcasts.apple.com/fi/podcast/alexander-dunlap-until-you-become-ungovernable-why/id1499621252?i=1000587449856 Is "green energy" really that green (and is it better called "fossil fuel plus")? https://podcasts.apple.com/fi/podcast/alexander-dunlap-is-green-energy-really-that-green/id1499621252?i=1000506999251  Check out Xander's upcoming talk (26 Aug. 2025, 14:00-16:00) at University of Copenhagen https://cape.ku.dk/eng/calendar/2025/exploring-the-life-of-solar-panels/  Want to learn more about Xander's work?

In this episode, Phil interviews Thomas Lahnthaler about his book 'Facilitating Reflections'. They discuss the inspiration behind the book, the role of facilitators, essential skills needed, and the concept of self-harming humility in facilitation. Thomas emphasizes the importance of recognizing one's contributions and the need for facilitators to be aware of their impact on group dynamics. The conversation also touches on the evolution of facilitation practices and the balance between experience and new facilitators.   Critique is essential for growth and care. Facilitators should not be the sole source of answers. Facilitation is about navigating human dynamics. Self-harming humility can hinder facilitators' growth. Facilitators need to acknowledge their contributions. Awareness is crucial for effective facilitation. Facilitators should embrace their unique styles. Reflection is key to improving facilitation skills. Facilitators must adapt to each unique group. The book encourages introspection and personal growth.

Ministers Rest | Jun 30, 2025 You must first understand that Jesus never used the word "church" when He spoke about building His community of believers. The English word "church" comes from "kuriakon," meaning a place for the worship of gods—any gods. This word was invented 500 years after Christ and imposed on His teachings by those seeking uniformity and control. You live in a world where countless practices have been imposed on Christianity that have no biblical foundation. These impositions include: - Ceremonial dress codes that supposedly convey spiritual authority - Worship styles copied from other cultures rather than flowing from authentic relationship with God - Hierarchical titles and positions that stroke human ego rather than facilitate divine government - Physical buildings and rituals that replace the reality of believers as God's living temple - Financial systems based on manipulation rather than kingdom principles These impositions exist because, according to Hebrews 9:10, certain things "stood only in meats and drinks and diverse washings and carnal ordinances imposed on them until the time of reformation." The word "reformation" here is a medical term—orthopedic correction—meaning to repair broken bones and restore proper alignment. This is what the body of Christ desperately needs today. ## Learning from Hezekiah's Model King Hezekiah provides the perfect example of how reformation works. When he became king, he inherited a spiritual disaster: **The fathers had shut the doors** - Previous generations had blocked people's access to God's presence. Instead of facilitating intimacy with the Divine, leaders had become barriers between God and His people. **The lamps had been extinguished** - Prophetic expression had been quenched. God's word was no longer flowing as a lamp to guide the people. **No incense was being offered** - There was no ascending worship or prayer reaching heaven. The connection between earth and heaven had been severed. **Filthiness filled the holy place** - Where God's glory should have dwelt, corruption and compromise had taken residence. Hezekiah's response was immediate and comprehensive: 1. **He opened the doors** - Restored access to God's presence 2. **He relit the lamps** - Renewed prophetic expression 3. **He cleansed the temple** - Removed everything that didn't belong 4. **He restored the priesthood** - Put proper spiritual order back in place 5. **He reestablished proper worship** - Aligned everything with God's original design ## Preparing for the Inevitable Warfare Here's what you must understand: every attempt at biblical reformation triggers intense spiritual warfare. The moment Hezekiah established proper order, Sennacherib (representing demonic principalities) came against him. Satan considers anyone building according to heaven's pattern as a rebellious person threatening his established systems. He will respond through: - Economic pressure and financial attacks - Relationship conflicts and family discord - Health challenges and physical exhaustion - Accusations and character assassination - Institutional opposition and religious persecution ## Moving from Church to Ecclesia Your goal is not to build a bigger church or more popular ministry. Your calling is to establish ecclesia that actually governs according to heaven's principles. This means: **Teaching principalities and powers** - Through your accurate building, spiritual forces learn "the manifold wisdom of God" (Ephesians 3:10). Your properly ordered community becomes a demonstration of divine government. **Binding and loosing with authority** - Using the keys of the kingdom to forbid lawlessness and establish righteousness in your sphere of influence. **Creating culture that counters corruption** - Instead of just preaching against societal problems, living in ways that demonstrate heaven's superior systems. **Facilitating others' direct access to God** - Rather than making yourself indispensable, teaching people to connect with Christ personally. ## Understanding the Cost Reformation is not revival. Revival resurrects what is dead along with all its corruptions and impositions. Reformation requires painful surgery to correct what has been broken and misaligned. This path will cost you: - **Comfortable religious traditions** that may have given you identity but hindered God's purposes - **Popular support** from those who prefer entertainment to transformation - **Financial ease** as kingdom principles often conflict with worldly success strategies - **Peaceful coexistence** with systems that oppose God's government But the alternative—continuing to build according to imposed human traditions rather than heaven's blueprint—leaves society unchanged and God's glory unrevealed.
