If you're feeling the weight of past trauma and struggling to find healing, then you are not alone! Many individuals have tried traditional methods of healing without finding the relief they seek. Instead of finding validation and empowerment through conventional means, there's a unique path to healing waiting to be discovered through creativity and art.My special guest is Erin HungErin Hung, an artist residing in Hong Kong, brings two decades of experience in the art and design space, collaborating with prominent global brands such as Chronicle Books, American Greetings, Liberty of London, and Selfridges. Her creative journey, spanning from illustration work to murals and community art, is intertwined with her deep commitment to advocacy. A graduate from Central St. Martins School of Art and Sotheby's Institute in London, Erin's practice now revolves around amplifying voices at the fringes, working closely with mental health organizations and NGOs like UNHCR. Her profound insight into the healing power of creativity, stemming from her own experiences with religious trauma, has led her to spearhead the social media movement "A to Z of trauma recovery," inviting survivors and marginalized communities to heal creatively together. With her compelling art and thoughtful advocacy, Erin is a beacon of inspiration and empowerment.Therapy is not just for those who are in crisis, although it's definitely for that. But therapy is also a place where you're just stepping into your own skin, figuring out who you are, what it is you're offering to the world around us, and how you're making the world a better place. - Lori Adams BrownIn this episode, you will be able to:Discover the transformative power of healing through creativity and art for personal growth and emotional well-being.Uncover the impact of spiritual abuse on faith and explore ways to navigate and heal from this trauma.Embrace the role of therapy as a catalyst for personal growth and self-discovery, unlocking your full potential.Navigate the intricate layers of cultural and religious identity, finding empowerment and validation through self-exploration.Experience the profound benefits of somatic practices for trauma recovery, fostering a deeper connection between mind and body.Impact of Spiritual AbuseErin Hung shares her candid experiences of spiritual abuse within her faith community, highlighting an issue that is oftentimes overlooked or swept under the rug. Such experiences can cause an individual to internalize pain and shame, profoundly impacting their perceptions of self and their relationship with their faith. As Erin rightly emphasizes, acknowledging and addressing the impacts of spiritual abuse is crucial in the journey towards healing.The resources mentioned in this episode are:Follow Erin Hung on Instagram at @erinhung_studio to see her beautiful art and stay updated on her latest projects and movements.Contribute to the A to Z of trauma recovery movement by using the hashtag #AtoZofTraumaRecovery on social media to share your own creative expressions and join the community of healing and support.Explore the A to Z of trauma recovery hashtag on social media to view the diverse and impactful artwork and expressions shared by others in the community.Engage in right brain activities such as art, creativity, and expression to process and heal from trauma, allowing yourself to explore your own creative impulses and find healing through artistic endeavors.Reach out to Lori Adams-Brown to share your thoughts and experiences, and to connect with others who are navigating similar journeys of healing and recovery.I think for people, when they say they are not creative or they're not artistically inclined, I want to try and be the person that brings that piece. That's like, maybe if I ignite this match, you might burn a fire. It might kindle a fire that could help you on your way. - Erin HungTransformative Power of HealingArt has a powerful potential to heal, as guest Erin Hung explores in her personal journey of self-discovery and recovery. Channeling our creative impulses can serve as a means of processing personal experiences and finding solace, particularly when navigating trauma. As Erin notes, the exploration of art can foster empowerment, liberation, and ultimately, transformative healing.If we don't answer to what the creative impulse or the thing that God put inside us and fully explore that, then it's very hard to imagine a way forward for ourselves and for the church. - Erin HungRole of Therapy as CatalystTherapy, particularly non-verbal modalities such as art and somatic body work, can act as a catalyst for trauma recovery. Erin Hung recounted how these therapeutic methods empowered her to process her personal traumas, finding a language for her experiences that words could not capture. As a creative outlet, therapy can enable an individual unparalleled self-expression, providing a pathway towards understanding, acceptance, and healing.The key moments in this episode are:00:00:02 - Introducing the Podcast and Guest Erin Hung 00:02:41 - Erin's Journey as an Artist and Advocate 00:10:29 - Cultural Influence on Faith and Interpretation of Scriptures 00:14:28 - Decolonizing Scriptures and Cultural Identity 00:16:17 - Disentangling Cultural Norms and Global Conversations 00:18:23 - Understanding Family Trauma and Shame Culture 00:19:23 - Overcoming Shame and Sharing Personal Trauma 00:20:32 - Decolonizing Faith and Silence 00:21:10 - Healing Through Creativity and Somatic Work 00:27:47 - Experiencing Spiritual Abuse and Gaslighting 00:35:11 - Realization of Making a Difference 00:36:39 - Healing Through Creativity 00:39:39 - The Power of Creativity 00:42:41 - A to Z of Trauma Recovery 00:49:42 - Embracing Beauty and Joy Timestamped summary of this episode:00:00:02 - Introducing the Podcast and Guest Erin Hung Lori introduces the podcast and guest Erin Hung, an artist living in Hong Kong, known for her illustration work, murals, and community art.

Joanne has been an innovator in education for many years both in New Zealand and globally.  As well as writing 6 books on this topic she brings an approach of placing the learner first when it comes to education - making education fun and something people want to do.  In this conversation we hear about her childhood and background, growing up without knowing she was Māori and what it meant to find out and how that influenced her sense of being.  We also hear about her work in schools in New Zealand, within the Ministry of Education and then the work she has done offshore based in Seattle.  We also reflect on the meaning of 'home', why joy is important in education, EHF, caring for her Mother at the end of her life and the call to being a teacher.  We cover a lot!  For more conversations visit www.theseeds.nz  The Learner First site: https://www.thelearnerfirst.com  Kia Kotahi Ako site: https://www.kiakotahi.org  Dr Jay Matenga interview: https://seeds.libsyn.com/jay-matenga-on-identity-spirituality-whakapapa-and-kapapa-maori This one with Elle Archer is also good on similiar themes: https://seeds.libsyn.com/elle-archer-on-being-curious-lifelong-learning-and-the-ako-tautahi-learning-city-christchurch-festival  For more episodes visit www.theseeds.nz

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Three Reflections from 101 EA Global Conversations, published by Akash on April 25, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. I recently attended EAGxOxford, EAGxBoston, and EAG London. In total, I had about 101 one-on-one conversations (+-10; depends on how you count casual/informal 1-1s). The vast majority of these were with people interested in longtermist community-building or AI safety. Here are three of my biggest takeaways: 1) There are many people doing interesting work who aren't well-connected I recently moved to Berkeley, one of the major EA hubs for AI safety research and longtermist movement-building. I live with several people who are skilling up in alignment research, and I work out of an office with people who regularly talk about the probability of doom, timelines, takeoff speeds, MIRI's agenda, Paul and Eliezer dialogues, ELK, agent foundations, interpretability, and, well, you get it. At the EAGs, I was excited to meet many people (>30) interested in AI safety and longtermist community-building. Several (>10) of them were already dedicating a large portion of their time to AI safety or longtermist community-building (e.g., by spending a summer on AI safety research, leading a local EA chapter, or contracting for EA orgs.) One thing stood out to me, though: Many of the people I spoke to, including those who were already investing >100 hours into EA work, weren't aware of the people/models/work in Berkeley and other EA hubs. Here's a hypothetical example: Alice: I've spent the last several semesters skilling up in AI safety research. I took several ML classes, and I'm going to be spending the summer working under [professor] at [my university] on [ML project that doesn't really have to do with AI safety]. Me: Wow, that's great! Have you considered working on the Eliciting Latent Knowledge challenge, or reading Evan Hubinger's Risks from Learned Optimization sequence, or trying to distill alignment articles? Alice: Oh, no! I haven't heard of most of these things. do you think it would be useful for me to do that instead? Me: Well, I'm not sure what you should do. But I would encourage you to at least consider these options and at least be familiar with these resources and opportunities. As an example, did you ever considering applying to the Long-Term Future Fund to skill-up on your own, and maybe visit Berkeley and some other EA Hubs? The point here is not that Alice should immediately drop what she's doing. But I found it interesting how many people didn't even realize what options they had available. Alice, for example, could apply for a grant to skill-up in AI safety research in an EA Hub. But she often doesn't even realize this, or even if she does, she doesn't seriously consider it when she's thinking about her summer plans. I don't think people should blindly defer to the people/models in EA hubs. But I do think that exposure to these people/models will generally help people make more informed decisions. Two quick examples: People skilling-up in AI safety researcher would generally benefit from understanding the major criticisms/concerns with current alignment research agendas. It seems useful to at least be exposed to some of the doomy people and understand why they're so doomy. People skilling-up in longtermist community-building could benefit from understanding the major criticisms/concerns with general community-building efforts. It seems useful to at least be exposed to the arguments around impact being heavy-tailed, mass outreach compromising the epistemics of the community and making it less attractive for people who take ideas seriously, and concerns around community-builders not knowing enough about the issues they are community-building for. One of the easiest ways to do this, I claim, is to talk directly to people doing this kind of work...

Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 and its involvement in sparking war in Eastern Ukraine signaled a major escalation in President Putin's attempts to revive the former Soviet empire.
