Podcasts about Henna

Ethical henna practice is a phrase that gets used without always being unpacked. In this episode, Chelsea unpacks it — fully and specifically — across three dimensions: safety, sourcing, and cultural respect. Speaking from her own inherited connection to henna through the Akan tradition of West Africa, Chelsea makes the case that practicing this art professionally carries a responsibility that goes beyond technique and into how you hold the practice itself. This episode doesn't moralize. It teaches.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN·  Why ethical henna practice has three dimensions — and why most conversations only cover one·  What PPD is, why it's dangerous, and how to identify it in products that don't advertise it·  How to evaluate a henna supplier and what transparency from a trustworthy supplier looks like·  What cultural respect requires of every practitioner regardless of their relationship to henna's cultures of origin·  How client education is an act of integrity, not just good customer service·  Why the ethics conversation and the business conversation are the same conversationRESOURCES & LINKSMentioned in this episode:· ⁠Join Momentum — Hennapreneur's membership for henna artists⁠· ⁠Hennapreneur website⁠· ⁠Download the Hennapreneur app⁠Connect with Chelsea:· ⁠Instagram — @hennapreneur.official⁠· ⁠Facebook — HennapreneurIf this episode started something for you, share it with another henna artist who needs to hear it.

Something spectacular is brewing in the heart of Georgia, and the air is thick with anticipation! On May 31, 2026, Atlanta will play host to a cultural phenomenon that is already being hailed as the largest Eid celebration the city has ever witnessed. The visionary force behind this massive undertaking recently joined "The Ash Said It Show" to pull back the curtain on what makes this year's festival a historic milestone.

(02:10) Deze week stapten de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten na bijna 60 jaar uit OPEC. En dat zou het einde in kunnen luiden van dit kartel van olieproducerende landen. In 1960 werd het opgericht door voormalig gekoloniseerde landen als tegenhanger van Westerse oliebedrijven, en het is bedacht door een zuinige Venezolaan. Wat is de invloed van OPEC geweest, en hoe nabij is het einde? Te gast is Lucia van Geuns, energiedeskundige bij het The Hague Center for Strategic Studies.  (12:26) Het is dit weekend precies 140 jaar geleden: de Haymarket-affaire. Wat klinkt als een onschuldig akkefietje, was in werkelijkheid een escalerende reeks protesten en geweldsincidenten tussen stakende arbeiders en de politie in Chicago. Op 1 mei 1886 begon het als een arbeidersstaking voor de 8-urige werkweek, en op 4 mei eindigde het in een bloedbad — én het vormde de aanleiding voor de internationale Dag van de Arbeid, die bijna overal jaarlijks op 1 mei wordt gevierd.   Waarom waren die vroege meidagen zo belangrijk, en wat zegt dit over de Amerikaanse arbeidersbeweging van toen? Daarover hebben we het met Dennis Bos, sociaal historicus.    (24:22) Henna wordt vaak over het hoofd gezien  als drager van Marokkaanse cultuur. En ook Abdelkader Benali maakte zich hieraan schuldig, schrijft hij in zijn nieuw verschenen boek Henna. Deze zondag is de auteur bij ons te gast. Hij vertelt over een geschiedenis van cultureel erfgoed, onderdrukking, vrouwelijke weerbaarheid en kracht.  (37:03) Elke week bespreken we historische tips met afwisselend Nadia Bouras, Wim Berkelaar, Bart Funnekotter, Sanne Frequin, en Fresco Sam-Sin. Deze week is de beurt aan Wim Berkelaar. Hij bespreekt twee boeken en een podcast:  Hoop doet leven - Maarten de Wit  Mussert, reis naar het kwaad - Auke Kok  De Joodse Raad van Twente (https://npo.nl/luister/podcasts/1379-de-joodse-raad-van-twente) – EO  (53:42) De Deltawerken, de elektrische auto en de fasecontrastmicroscoop. Drie hele verschillende uitvindingen die één ding gemeen hebben. Ze zijn bedacht door iemand uit Noord-Nederland: Groningen, Friesland of Drenthe. Door de geschiedenis heen zijn er veel meer gouden vondsten gedaan in onze bovenste provincies. Dat vinden de vier makers van het boek Geluid van het Noorden, dat deze week uitkomt. Te gast zijn de Groninger broers Thijs en Wijnand Helfrich. Thijs is muzikant en historicus, en Wijnand is muzikant en Hoogleraar Chirurgische Oncologie.  (01:09:52) OVT Doc: De laatste der Franciscanen  In de moerasjungle van de zuidkust van West Papoea leven stammen als de Asmat en de Marind. Zij kregen hier in de koloniale tijd, toen het gebied nog Nederlands Nieuw Guinea heette, vooral bekendheid door verhalen over koppensnelpraktijken en kannibalisme. En juist daar streken na de oorlog verschillende katholieke bedelordes neer. Vooral Franciscaner missionarissen waren goed vertegenwoordigd. Zij gingen een dans aan met de lokale stammen die verrassend uitpakte.  Luister naar: De laatste der Franciscanen. Een documentaire van Jan Maarten Deurvorst.  Meer info: https://www.vpro.nl/ovt/artikelen/ovt-3-mei-2026 (https://www.vpro.nl/ovt/artikelen/ovt-3-mei-2026)

Henna Pryror Speaker. Executive Coach. Workplace Performance Expert.   Considered one of the best recruiters on the east coast - and gave it all up. She had an incredible sales and consulting career. She shattered records and was in the top 10% of the company every year. She loved the industry – but her heart broke every time she helped a high-performing employee exit their high-potential team.   Socials: LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/hennapryor Instagram: www.instagram.com/hennapryor Facebook: www.facebook.com/hennapryorcoach   Summary:   In this episode, workplace performance expert and bestselling author Henna Pryor joins the show to discuss the hidden challenges of the modern workday. The conversation dives deep into why many professionals feel like "drunk baby giraffes" navigating constant change and how "social muscle atrophy" is impacting team dynamics in a hybrid world. Henna shares why embracing awkwardness is a professional advantage and offers actionable strategies to rebuild social courage and connection.   Key Takeaways:   - Social Muscle as Currency: Your ability to navigate social discomfort is a hidden performance currency in today's workplace. - The "Atrophy" Epidemic: Remote and hybrid work have caused our social skills to weaken due to a lack of real-world practice and a tendency to avoid difficult conversations. - Awkwardness is an Emotion, Not a Trait: Awkwardness is a unique form of social discomfort triggered by uncertainty and change, rather than a permanent personality flaw. - The "Drunk Baby Giraffe" Mindset: Leaders must model being okay with "stumbling" through change to encourage their teams to take risks and keep moving forward. - Focus on the Start: The hardest part of social interaction is the "activation energy" required to begin; focusing on simply starting can overcome most social anxiety.   Episode Chapters:   [00:00:00] The "Drunk Baby Giraffe" Workplace [00:02:24] Henna's Path to Performance Coaching [00:03:52] Defining "Good Awkward" [00:06:17] Why We Are More Awkward Now [00:09:44] The Danger of Social Comfort [00:12:30] The Spotlight Effect and the Liking Gap [00:16:15] Strategy: Social Risk Micro-Dosing [00:19:50] The "Activation Energy" of Conversation [00:23:10] Leadership and the Permission to Stumble [00:27:18] Embracing the Messy Middle [00:31:05] Focus on the Process, Not the Outcome [00:33:45] Closing Thoughts and "Good Awkward" Resources

A conversation with Henna Maria on plant medicine, spiritual sovereignty, and the fight for authentic healingThe psychedelic renaissance is here—but are we losing the soul of the medicine in the process?In this powerful episode, I sit down with Henna Maria, human rights activist and founder of Dawn of Peace, to explore one of the most critical conversations of our time: the difference between sacred ceremony and clinical commodification in psychedelic healing.Henna brings a rare perspective—12 years living with indigenous communities in Peru, direct experience with plant medicine traditions, and unflinching activism on the frontlines of medical freedom. Her message is urgent: we're at a crossroads where the pharmaceutical industry threatens to strip the spirit from these sacred medicines, just as they did with cannabis.What You'll DiscoverThe Sacred vs. The SyntheticWhy context matters more than compound—and how the Western medical model fundamentally misunderstands what these medicines are for.The Real Risks of "Democratized" PsychedelicsFrom spiritual attachments to energetic parasites—what happens when you open your consciousness without proper protection and guidance.Ancestral Wisdom Meets Modern HealingHow Henna's journey from European activism to Amazonian apprenticeship led her back to Finland to revive her own cultural roots.Beyond Individual HealingWhy true regeneration requires moving from personal transformation to collective cultural revival—and what that looks like in practice.The Stakes Are Higher Than You ThinkThis isn't just about psychedelics. It's about spiritual sovereignty—our right to connect directly with the divine without corporate intermediaries. It's about honoring indigenous wisdom instead of extracting and commodifying it. It's about understanding that healing isn't a product you consume, but a sacred relationship you cultivate.As Henna puts it: "When you take an entheogenic, you put a red light on in the spirit world saying 'Hello, I'm here.' If you don't have a ceremonial space to protect you, you're wide open and all manner of things can jump in."A Call to Conscious ActionWhether you're curious about plant medicine, already walking this path, or simply care about the future of healing, this conversation will challenge you to think deeper about:* What makes medicine truly sacred vs. merely therapeutic* How to honor indigenous wisdom without appropriating it* The role of ceremony, community, and cultural context in healing* Why the fight for medical freedom is ultimately spiritualThis is regenerative culture in action—where we invite you to discover new/ancient ways of living that not only heals the self but it also benefits all life.

If one takes an oath of deposit to several people at once, in what circumstances will that be required to bring multiple sacrifices? The Mishna listed three different opinions and a braita is brought with two opinions - Rabbi Meir and Rabbi Yehuda. Shmuel and Rabbi Yochanan bring different explanations as to which wording Rabbi Meir and Rabbi Yehuda disagree about.

Today's daf is sponsored for a refua shleima for my uncle, Naftali ben Henna. Rabbi Meir and Rabbi Yehuda disagree about two issues regarding the accidental murderer - do they pay rent/taxes to the Levites/refuge city; when they are released, can they reassume their previous position in their city? Rav Kahana limits the first debate to the six refuge cities, while Rava limits the debate to the other forty-two Levite cities, but explains that in the six major refuge cities, all agree that no payment is necessary. The third chapter lists all those who receive lashes. The Mishna categorizies them. Those who are liable for karet for forbidden relations receive lashes, if they do not also receive a death penalty by the court. If a kohen marries a woman he is forbidden to marry, they both receives lashes. More prohibitions where one receives karet for violating it intentionally also receive lashes, such as, a impure person who enters the Temple or ate sacrificial meat, one who eats forbidden fats of an animal or the blood, and several other prohibtions. One who eats non kosher meat or untithed produce also receives lashes. The Mishna follows the position of Rabbi Akiva that only prohibitions that are punishable by karet only are also punishable by lashes. However, Rabbi Yishmael holds that even those punishable by death in the hands of the court are punishable by lashes. Rabbi Yitzchak holds that none of these cases obligate one in lashes. What is the root of the debate between Rabbi Akiva and Rabbi Yishmael?  https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/09/18/the-sorrow-and-the-shame-of-the-accidental-killer

Ever felt awkward in a meeting, on stage, or in a tough conversation? What if that discomfort wasn't a weakness—but an advantage? In this episode of Leveraging Thought Leadership, Peter sits down with workplace performance expert Henna Pryor, author of Good Awkward, to explore the hidden power of social discomfort. Henna breaks down why avoiding awkward moments only makes them worse—and how embracing them can lead to stronger communication, better leadership, and a more resilient mindset. They discuss why so many leaders fear saying the wrong thing (especially in today's hyper-visible world), how the "spotlight effect" distorts our self-perception, and why placing small bets is the key to building a thought leadership platform. Henna also shares her journey from finance to executive coaching to keynote speaking—proving that growth often comes from stepping into discomfort. This conversation will change the way you think about awkwardness—and might just help you unlock your next big leadership breakthrough. Three Key Takeaways: • Avoiding Awkwardness Makes It Worse – Awkward moments happen to everyone, but dodging them only amplifies the discomfort. Acknowledging and embracing these moments can make you appear more confident and authentic. • Small Bets Lead to Big Wins – Instead of making massive, risky moves, successful thought leaders test ideas by placing small bets—through LinkedIn posts, speaking engagements, or content experiments—to see what resonates before doubling down. • Your Perceived Failures Matter Less Than You Think – The "spotlight effect" tricks us into believing people notice our mistakes more than they actually do. In reality, most people quickly move on—so stop overanalyzing and keep moving forward. Awkward moments often come from misspeaking or making mistakes. Just as Henna Pryor suggests addressing the awkward head-on, Priya Nalkur encourages leaders to embrace imperfection. Both perspectives highlight the power of authenticity and resilience in leadership. If you want to learn how to turn your perceived flaws or failures into strengths, don't miss this episode 554 - Embracing Imperfection!

Join us for an inspiring conversation with Henna Maria, a medicine woman, activist, speaker, poet, and teacher of Natural Law. Henna has dedicated her life to bridging spirituality and activism, working to create parallel societies rooted in self-sovereignty, human rights, and natural living. Initiated into the art of healing song by indigenous Shipibo masters, Henna specializes in the ceremonial practice of Ayahuasca and, alongside her husband Richard, runs Wistin Origins, a healing sanctuary in the Peruvian Amazon. In 2019, she founded Dawn of Peace, a creative community and peace organization advocating for medical freedom, human and animal rights, and self-governance. She has also co-founded major initiatives, including: Police for Freedom (2021) – Rehumanizing society and fostering collaboration between activists and law enforcement. Save Our Food (2022) – Addressing food scarcity, environmental crises, and agricultural collapse. Kotiinpaluu (2023) – Reviving and protecting indigenous Finnish culture while laying the foundation for a parallel, natural society. We'll explore Henna's journey, the power of spiritual activism, and the practical steps for building parallel societies.  

We've all had those painfully awkward moments–those cringey, uncomfortable feelings—the ones that make you want to disappear into the floor. But what if awkwardness wasn't something to escape, but something to embrace? Today, I sit down with workplace performance expert Henna Pryor to unpack why discomfort is actually a good thing.Henna shares her personal journey from feeling like an outsider as a child of immigrants to discovering how awkwardness can be a growth accelerator. She also reveals surprising research on why confident people don't avoid awkward moments—they just recover faster. Plus, we dig into how social skills are eroding in the workplace, why millennials report the most superficial relationships at work, and how different generations handle awkwardness.If you've ever second-guessed yourself before speaking up in a meeting, hesitated before trying something new, or let fear of embarrassment hold you back, this episode will change the way you think about discomfort.If this episode gave you the push to stop overthinking and embrace the cringe, share it with a friend! And if you really loved it, we'd be forever grateful if you left us a review on Apple Podcasts. It helps more people find the show (and helps us keep embracing our awkward too).“In our 20s and 30s, we care a lot about what people think of us. In our 40s and 50s, we stop caring what other people think of us. But in our 60s and 70s, we realize they were never thinking about us in the first place, and that knowledge is so freeing.” ~ Henna PryorIn This Episode:-Why awkwardness isn't a curse but a superpower-Henna's childhood struggles with feeling different-How age shifts our self-consciousness (and makes us care less)-The workplace “social muscle” problem across generations-Remote work + tech = weaker social skills (and it shows)-86% of workers would rather work alone—yikes-Small steps to build social confidence without freaking out-Using humor to recover from awkward moments-Risk-taking at work: when to go for it and when to hold back-The “Cringe Chasm”—choosing between comfort and growth-The worst-case scenario exercise that flips fear on its headAnd much more!Resources:-Book: Good Awkward by Henna Pryor: https://pryoritygroup.com/book/-The Social Muscle Study: Download the full report at https://pryoritygroup.com/study/-Henna's TEDx Talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/henna_pryor_want_to_get_ahead_at_work_risk_the_awkward_momentsConnect with Henna Pryor:-Website: https://pryoritygroup.com/-LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hennapryor/Connect with Maureen Clough:-LinkedIn: maureenwclough - https://www.linkedin.com/in/maureenwclough/-Website: itgetslateearly.com -
