Radical healing should be a non-negotiable for every woman, especially women of color. –Simona Sillah Curious about crystals? I'm really excited to talk with Simona Sillah about using crystals and other energy and mindset modalities for radical healing. Body, mind, and spirit work together, so we look at the energy around all of that. Simona shares her story of a health crisis that went ignored by traditional healthcare. She advocated to learn more. She finally got treatment that was making her sicker. That's when she sought out more holistic healing practices. What does it mean to surrender? How do you practice radical acceptance? It can be hard, especially when you want to be in control, so we talk about what that actually looks like day to day. But when the mind, body, or spirit is out of whack, the rest aren't working right either. Simona lists healthy thoughts, choosing what she consumed, and healing crystals as three pieces of her healing. We talk about: Recognizing our weaknesses and working on them Learning to be kind to ourselves, including finding the grain of truth in what people say about you without shaming yourself or putting too much attention on what they say Paying attention and giving yourself what you need, whether it is rest, a certain food, kindness Lessons that we learn and need to learn again and again Choosing crystals and using them to harness higher intentions Specific ways to use crystals, or what using crystals actually looks like day to day BIO Simona Folasade Sillah is a changemaker for underrepresented communities, working as a Community and Content Manager for SoGal Foundation by day and running her online metaphysical boutique ENHERGY for her side hustle.

3D Printing – An Interview with Alan Ware Sacramento has a great organization called Hacker Lab – part hacker space, part maker space, and part co-working space. I joined last year and plan to cover a number of subjects related to the things they do there. This includes programming, Arduino, robotics, 3D printing, and more. This is an interview with Alan M. Ware, B.S.M.E. Alan is a 3D design and manufacturing engineer. He teaches the 3D Printing class at Hacker Lab. I took the class and then asked him for a quick interview. Recorded February 2014 I also recorded some videos. One is already posted. The other one needs some production. The first video is here: http://youtu.be/ncLrcYIbOeA Hacker Lab is open to everyone. It’s a great place to learn and to prototype your ideas. Find out more at http://www.hackerlab.org. Hacker Lab is located at 1715 I Street, Sacramento, CA. Alan also mentioned “The Design Spot” at the Arcade public library – 2443 Marconi Ave., Sacramento, CA. They have computers with PhotoShop, AutoCAD, and other software as well as 3D printers that anyone can use. Alan’s web site – http://www.AMWDesign.net – has a number of great links for anyone interested in finding out more about 3D printing, the software used, and some of the hardware options. (He promised he’d tune it up after the video comes out.) – Download the Interview with Alan Ware on 3D Printing here.
