Podcasts about healing circles

Michael Lerner with Moderator Katherine Fulton, and introductory remarks by Oren Slozberg. Exploring the Forces Changing What it Means to Be Human Join us for a day of reflection and conversation exploring healing at a time of transformation—contemplating what Michael Lerner points to as the coming revolution in human consciousness and what it means for all of us as individuals, communities, and as a planetary species. This event is part of our 50th anniversary celebrations this year at Commonweal. Michael's founding vision of Commonweal was as a center for healing ourselves and healing the earth. His understanding of healing has been transformed by more than 230 week-long Cancer Help Programs, by Healing Circles, and by many other experiences with personal healing, as well as by the emergence of the global polycrisis and what it signifies for planetary healing. He brings these threads together in the light of new research on what is known as “the hard problem of consciousness.” *** The New School is Commonweal's learning community and podcast — we offer conversations, workshops, and other events in areas that Commonweal champions: finding meaning, growing health and resilience, advocating for justice, and stewarding the natural world. We make our conversations into podcasts for listeners world wide and have been doing this since 2007.

Power is often found in presence, not perfection—and Brandon McAnderson brings that truth to life in this deeply reflective conversation. From redefining partnership through awareness and intention, to unpacking the inner stories men carry about identity, masculinity, and self-worth, Brandon shares a grounded perspective on what it means to show up fully in relationships, fatherhood, and community. He challenges the idea of "percentage-based love," inviting listeners instead into wholeness, reciprocity without scorekeeping, and intentional space-making for others to thrive.  The conversation expands into a powerful exploration of storytelling—how the narratives we repeat can either reinforce limitation or unlock healing and growth. Brandon speaks candidly about ego protection, generational cycles, and the responsibility of rewriting inherited beliefs so the next generation can experience more freedom, connection, and authenticity. Through lived experience and cultural reflection, he offers a compelling reminder that breaking cycles begins with awareness, and community is often found simply by choosing to show up.  Key Takeaways:   True partnership is about showing up fully, not exchanging percentages of effort or love.   When men detach from external labels, they can reconnect with their deeper sense of self and purpose.   Many internal narratives are rooted in ego protection, not truth, and can be rewritten with awareness.   Growth happens when we consciously choose to shift patterns passed down through family and culture.   Transformation doesn't require perfection—just willingness to show up, participate, and engage.   We couldn't highlight incredible stories like this without the support of our sponsor, CommunityAmerica Credit Union. Thank you for helping us promote connection, well-being, and stronger communities.

What if the burnout so many women experience isn't a personal failure—but a result of living against their natural rhythms?In this episode of Hidden Wisdom, Megan Watson joins us to explore the forgotten wisdom of cyclical living, feminine energy, and reconnecting with the body's natural rhythms. Together we explore the power of menstrual cycles, moon phases, feminine archetypes, and intuitive body wisdom.

Chris Burris is a Senior Lead IFS Trainer and a clinical consultant with decades of experience in mental health and group work. Chris is based in North Carolina and leads training for the IFS Institute and his Creating Healing Circles work worldwide.Last month, Chris joined Jef Szi for an in-depth conversation that illuminates the power, purpose, and benefits of healing with others. Along the way, we get to know the variety of influences and the backstory to Chris's group work, including a need to help his clients have real spaces to work on their social challenges, and Chris's interest in finding new models of authenticity that don't require being hijacked by reactive emotions.You can learn more about his work through his terrific how-to book, Creating Healing Circles.With tremendous kindness and boatloads of reference points, Chris helps us understand why healing circles are an essential tool for healing from traumas and for offsetting the hyper-individualism found in most personal-growth work.Chris teaches us that most traumas arise in relationships and are also healed through supportive, non-threatening contexts where participants can experience others as advocates and allies. He also shows us that well-run Healing Circles can allow participants to test new ways of being that are more cohesive and less isolating.Throughout Healing with Others, Chris offers his grounded perspectives; whether it's on the Internal Family Systems model, the pros and cons of Men's work in the 1980's and 1990's, or how nature is another kind of healing force, we are well instructed by Chris and his extensive knowledge on group work and the healing process.Perhaps the heart of Chris's teaching is the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model. In this conversation, he breaks down the model, showing how IFS is a constraint-and-release model whose core notion of an innate Self is characterized by calmness, curiosity, and compassion, and how the various "parts" play a role in protecting the Self. We also learn from Chris and kind way of thinking about our parts, and how these protective and often reactive voices within us frequently eclipse our core energy, leading us to relate to ourselves and others in harsh or critical ways.With Chris, we take another step forward in imagining what it takes to be more cohesive as a society. In this case, the path forward is to challenge our assumptions about the do-it-alone approach. Instead, we are encouraged towards the chance to be with others, dropping in deeply, where trauma and social connections can be transformed as a community. Few are better positioned to show what this path looks like than the heart-centered and wise Chris Burris.Thank you for being on the show, Chris!About Chris Burris: Chris is a Clinical Consultant and Senior Lead Trainer for the Center for Self Leadership. Chris has been a psychotherapist since 1989, working with diverse populations in community agencies, intensive residential centers, institutions of higher learning, and in private practice.He began training in the Internal Family Systems model in 1999 and is currently a Senior Lead Trainer for the Internal Family Systems Institute, where he teaches Level 1, Level II, and Level III trainings and serves as a trainer and mentor for new IFS training staff.Resources:

Holidays are upon us. Are you emotionally prepared?According to the results of a [2023] poll by the American Psychological Association:Nearly nine in 10 (89%) [US adults] say that concerns such as not having enough money, missing loved ones and anticipating family conflict cause them stress at this time of year.While stress appears to be common at this time of year, 43% said that the stress of the holidays interferes with their ability to enjoy them and 36% said the holidays feel like a competition.

Last week's meditation focused on ascension and recognizing ourselves as light beings in bodies being light in the physical realm, rather than physical beings in a dense world trying to find the light. One key to this is leaning into your inner feminine, which is the receptor of light and connector with the subtle realms. Living from the feminine is key to living in communion with Source – and then the inner feminine and masculine can synchronize to bring the light into the world through your actions. (We'll focus on the masculine side next week.) Listen to this healing meditation to tap into the channel of your inner feminine to commune with source energy, receiving divine light and whatever is waiting to infuse into your conscious body.

This earth plane is a place of great beauty and light, and it also contains immense darkness. The human body is also a vessel of great beauty and light, and it can be dense and contain shadows and blind spots. As the consciousness of our world rapidly evolves, we are faced with an overwhelming number of choices to make on a daily basis - not just about day-to-day activities, but about where our values and loyalties truly lie. What do you believe in? Who are you? How do you want to align your consciousness to ascend to a state of unity? Living in a state of unity means you identify more as a soul/light being with a body than a body that might have a soul or spiritual connection somewhere. It means living with a deep inner knowing of your core light connection with Source above all else. Listen to this Meditation & Healing Circle for a transformative experience. We must ascend.You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

At the core of your body is your divine light. Deep within the heart lives a spark — the divine flame that is uniquely yours. Your inner radiance is a reflection of your core light and inner spark. This meditation is a sacred journey inward, to awaken that flame and allow its radiance to fill you and expand beyond the boundaries of the body. As you connect with this light, you'll feel the gentle warmth of love as the divine remembrance fills your being. Through the eye of your heart, you see the divine purpose of your life path with more clarity. Listen to this healing meditation to activate your inner radiance and allow your core light to shine.

These days, it seems as if every move you make could be watched, weighed, and silently judged. It can feel like life is one long performance, whether for the benefit of others or for your own protection. It creates a subtle tension in your body, a hesitation before taking action or speaking your truth — it's the residue of a media-driven world that taught you to earn belonging by being pleasing, careful, or perfect. This healing meditation invites you to let go of the armor, to breathe into the places that tighten when you feel seen, to release the old, protective patterns that keep you performing instead of simply *being.* Listen to this episode to dissolve the fear of judgment and return to the quiet safety of your own presence — where authenticity feels natural and self-acceptance becomes effortless. Here, you are not performing. You are home in yourself.Mark your calendar to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

Do you ever find yourself caught in the trap of trying to get things right, asking, “Why aren't things working out for me? I've tried and prayed and even begged. What am I doing wrong?” I believe we all have at some point. It's devasting! But what we often find is that we get so caught up in believing we need to do something to earn the outcome or reward or grace that we seek. And then when we look deeper, we find the voice inside that says, “You could never do enough to earn it, because you are not worthy of it. You are not enough.” But the heart still yearns, so we send out stronger pleas! We work harder to prove that we are not that defective, broken persona we are trying to overcome. We are more than that! We've put in the personal work to improve ourselves. Shouldn't we be seeing better results by now? But what about that defective persona? Has she truly healed? Have you forgiven her, and has she received forgiveness? I mean the ultimate healing of divine forgiveness? Divine forgiveness is always present, waiting for us to receive it and ultimately forgive ourselves. This is a key to true healing – a healing which restores a devastated heart and lifts us to higher vibrations. This is the topic of this Meditation & Healing Circle. Listen for a restorative healing at the cellular level. You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

In today's divided world, it seems unlikely that we can work out our differences. We're up against an extensive, sophisticated machine that seeks to separate people into opposing factions, while sparking hatred, anger, and blame. When violence escalates and fires rage, it can be hard to hold onto hope. But we must. Each of us has some reason to believe in a brighter future – a world of love, compassion, and mutual respect. I used to work with a woman who said she had made a list of all the things she loved about her husband, and when things got tough, she would pull out that list. She would recite these things in her mind until she reconnected with her heart's desire to keep going. These were her reasons to hold onto hope until they could work out their differences. The first reasons on my list are my great-nieces and great-nephews. I want nothing more than to see them live healthy and fulfilling lives, to develop their gifts, to find love, and to explore the beauty of this planet. When I feel myself losing hope, I start listing their names, the hopes I have for them, and specific ways I wish to be a guiding force in their lives. This is the beginning, and I know there are even more reasons I can discover when I look within. What are your reasons? Have you made a list? It's a valuable tool, becoming ever more necessary to have at the ready. Listen to this Meditation & Healing Circle for a guided introspection into the depths of your heart to discover your reasons to hold onto hope. Get a pen and paper so you can make a list.

When your world is profoundly shifting, it can be difficult to trust that a supportive and stable foundation will emerge. On one hand, spiritually, a seeker aspires to surrender to the impermanence of life and trust in divine flow. On the other, she strives to hold strong to values and convictions and to stand for what is in the highest and for the greater good of all. What is moving around you and within you? Are you faced with choices, feeling called to make a splash or guided to surrender to the flow? The journey of life is a dance that we are dancing together. We are here to support each other through the full range of experiences.Listen to this healing meditation to explore the effects of the shifting sands beneath your feet, to find your inner guidance, your balance of conviction and surrender, new rhythms, new foundations, or whatever you are guided to in these changing times.

There is a saying in the Qur'an that says that when God created the Earth, she was shaking, so He set down the mountains to make her stable. Geologically speaking, when the tectonic plates of the Earth were moving, they crashed against each other, edges crumbling and lifting each other up until the movement stopped, forming the marvelous, majestic mountains. Our hearts are wired to sense the awe and majesty of the mountain ranges, to be swept away and inspired by their beauty. We feel the calming nature of stability when we sit at their base. It begs the question, when the foundations of your world are shaking, and instability appears to set the pieces on a collision course, do you too have the power to become the mountain? Can you sense the qualities of the mountains inside yourself and stabilize the forces that move through you as you witness instability around you? Can you be like the mountains to the Earth, firm and stable squelching her fears? Listen for a guided meditation to access your inner stability and be the mountain for the earth of your own existence.

Sometimes we need to set boundaries to protect our hearts. Many of my friends are needing to turn off the news and disconnect from what is happening in our country. It's a lot to process. It hurts the tender places inside. And if we are losing friends and disagreeing with family members in the process, it hurts even more. So many of us are retreating and shutting down so we don't have to feel.The purpose of setting boundaries is to create a safe space where we can be true to ourselves and flourish. How can we protect ourselves without suppressing ourselves? Without closing our hearts, suppressing our voices, and stifling our self-expression. Today we are going to begin with giving some love and compassion to the place inside that hurts. Listen to this episode to tap into the inner wisdom and guidance, and allow stability to grow from within, forming a pillar of strength and trust.

What does it mean to evolve? Our modern-day meaning is "to develop gradually from a simple to a more complex form." But we are complex creatures living totally convoluted lives! Perhaps we need to take this term back to it's Latin origin: "volvere" which means "to roll" with the "e" meaning "out of" -- to roll out of the complex chaotic states that make our bodies and our planet sick and return to a more simplistic life-generating existence.But that would mean letting go of many of the constructs we've created that give us a sense of safety - and some fulfillment - and returning to the earth for sustenance and nurturance.It would mean letting go of grudges and resentments we hold and embracing love and compassion.It would mean that we stop morphing ourselves to meet the expectations of the world and live and BE true to our nature. We are nature - not separate. It takes a lot of courage to let go into true evolution. This is what explore in this Meditation & Healing Circle.

In this video, I share my personal thoughts and reflections after watching the recent podcast by Aubrey Marcus, his wife Vylana, and their new partner Alana. What I express here is not meant to send harm, hate, or judgment to anyone involved. This is simply my opinion, shaped by my own experiences and the lens through which I see relationships, spirituality, and self-respect.As someone who has walked away from a connection rooted in similar dynamics, this conversation activated something deep in me. I felt called to speak on it—not to criticize—but to offer another perspective for those navigating their own path in love and truth.I also briefly reference my video on Demons, which you can watch here if you're curious:
