Podcasts about khalil gibran

Let us know what you enjoy about the show!Have you ever considered that our obsession with measuring time might be missing the point entirely? Khalil Gibran's masterpiece "The Prophet" offers us a profound alternative perspective that could transform how we experience each moment of our lives.Today I felt moved to share a beautiful passage from "The Prophet" that speaks to the nature of time itself. Published in 1923, this timeless work continues to offer wisdom that feels startlingly relevant to our rushed modern existence. Gibran challenges our conventional understanding of time as something linear that can be divided, measured, and controlled. Instead, he invites us to recognize the timelessness that dwells within each of us.The passage I read contains some of Gibran's most breathtaking insights: "Yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream," and "that which sings and contemplates in you is still dwelling within the bounds of that first moment which scattered the stars into space." These words remind us that our consciousness participates in something eternal, beyond the constraints of clocks and calendars. When Gibran describes love and time as "undivided and paceless," he offers us a powerful metaphor for understanding our own boundless nature.I hope these words provide a moment of reflection in your day. What would change in your life if you embraced the timelessness Gibran describes? How might you move through your days differently? Take a moment to contemplate this wisdom, and perhaps you too will find yourself inspired to "let today embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing." Remember to subscribe for more moments of reflection and inspiration that help us all live more fully in the present moment.If you are enjoying the show please subscribe, share and review!

The message was delivered on May 11th, 2025, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Nicole Kirk. What does it mean to truly let go, even as we hold on with all our hearts? In a world that asks us to prepare children for a future we cannot see, how do we nurture without control, and love without possession? Drawing from the timeless words of Khalil Gibran and the chaotic grace of everyday parenting, this reflection explores how the raw, imperfect moments of care and connection reveal the deepest truths about growth, justice, and love. What if the most sacred path to transformation isn't found in stillness, but in the noise, mess, and unrelenting presence of those we raise?

Inspired by feminist anthem, Beacon Rising marches on Lisa Andretta loves singing in the car but never figured she could be a real vocalist. After joining the Beacon Rising Choir, she found her voice. "When I went to my first rehearsal, I instantly fell in love," she says. "I had no idea something like this existed." The chorus, which started in 2017 with 13 members, now has 70, says founder Gina Samardge. Its next concert is May 18 at Beacon High School. Beacon Rising is a "resistance choir," Samardge says, open to women and nonbinary singers. A feminist anthem from the 2017 women's march in Washington, D.C., "Quiet," by Milck, inspired the choir's formation. The song includes the lyric, "I can't keep quiet for anyone anymore. … Let it out now." Cellphone videos of flash mobs performing to the song went viral and Samardge responded. "I needed to sing it with other women," she says. Her activist roots are reflected in the choir's repertoire, with songs that preach love, acceptance and a fight-the-power attitude such as "The Hymn of Acxiom," by Vienna Teng; "Refugee," by Moira Smiley; "On Children," by Ysaye Barnwell (with lyrics by Khalil Gibran); and "People Have the Power," by Patti Smith. "The 2016 election spawned a lot of choirs," Samardge says. "Singers always tell me that this is a healing force in their lives." A trained music educator and curious musician who lights up when speaking about playing clawhammer banjo, Samardge conducts the choir and arranges some songs. She came to Beacon in 2010 after getting priced out of Brooklyn. "I grew up in a small town in Ohio [Marion] and there is such a stronger community feeling here," she says. Samardge and her husband, musician Andy Reinhardt, who assembles the band that accompanies the choir, are childless by choice. Yet she's touched the lives of many youngsters in Beacon and beyond through Compass Arts, a grassroots organization she founded that runs programs in the schools and from the First Presbyterian Church on Liberty Street. Compass Arts initially rented a 1,000-square-foot space at Beacon Music Factory, then expanded to the church's Fellowship Hall, which features a stage, kitchen and new flooring installed by the nonprofit. In 2023, when the Beacon City School District called with an arts emergency - the middle school drama club had no teacher - she arranged for three visiting artists to structure a 10-week afterschool program teaching dance and choreography, improv and theater games and a glee club-style singing and movement class. "I remember being 18 years old and saying to my mother, 'I only want grandchildren,' and she said, 'Well, that's not how it works,'" Samardge says. "But I was at an event and some teenagers waved to me, and it turned out that they had attended a bunch of [Compass Arts] programs. I realized that somehow, someway, I got my wish. These kids are my temporary grandchildren." Beacon High School is located at 101 Matteawan Road. Tickets to the May 18 concert start at $20 ($10 seniors, teens; $5 ages 6-12; free ages 5 and younger); see compassarts.org/beacon-rising. The doors open at 1 p.m. for a free event with community organizations, a raffle and bake sale, followed by the concert at 2 p.m.

Trecho retirado do livro “O Profeta”, de Khalil Gibran.Khalil Gibran (1883-1931) foi um escritor, poeta e artista libanês, conhecido por suas obras espirituais e filosóficas.Nascido na cidade de Bsharri, no Líbano, em uma família maronita cristã, Gibran emigrou com sua mãe para os Estados Unidos aos 12 anos. Lá, viveu em Boston, onde começou a explorar sua vocação artística e literária. Após estudar arte em Paris, ele combinou influências ocidentais e orientais para criar um estilo único.Gibran abordava temas universais como amor, liberdade, espiritualidade e a interconexão da humanidade. Seus textos, frequentemente escritos em linguagem poética, celebram a beleza da vida, a busca interior e a harmonia com o divino. Em O Profeta (1923), ele compartilha reflexões profundas por meio de um personagem sábio que oferece conselhos sobre aspectos da vida cotidiana, como amizade, trabalho e morte, incentivando os leitores a viver com autenticidade e propósito.Considerado o terceiro maior poeta em vendas de todos os tempos (atrás somente de Lao-Tsé e William Shakespeare), Gibran foi creditado como o responsável pelo renascimento da literatura árabe. Sua mensagem universal de amor e unidade transcendem barreiras culturais e religiosas, consolidando-o como uma voz atemporal da literatura espiritual e filosófica.

Te gast zijn de pedagogische leraren Mahfoud Mokaddem en Arash Mortezavy en we spreken over pedagogische moed. Mahfoud is leraar theater en burgerschap in het mbo en heeft vorig jaar een theatervoorstelling over zijn onderwijswerk gemaakt, getiteld Moed. Arash is een van de leraren vo die landelijke erkenning kregen als leraar van het jaar.Mahfoud vertelt eerst over zijn theaterstuk Moed, waarin hij zijn pedagogische werkwijze verwerkt heeft. De pedagogische moed zit in zijn manier van lesgeven, die hij ontmoeten noemt. Hij komt als leraar zonder voorbereiding, vooroordelen en verwachtingen de klas binnen om zijn mbo studenten te ontmoeten waar hij ze aantreft. Wat de student bezighoudt geeft hem aanknopingspunten om op door te gaan. Dan pas wil hij kennis aanreiken, maar liever stelt hij kritische vragen over wie zij willen zijn en wat hun dromen zijn. Hij schroomt daarbij niet om zelf ook te vertellen hoe hij in het leven en in de samenleving staat. Hij wil graag dat er biografische en levensbeschouwelijke ontmoeting is in het onderwijs.Arash' manier van lesgeven sluit aan bij Mahfoud en dus bij de leerlingen. Ondanks dat hij leraar van het jaar is, gaat het hem niet om de beste leraar, maar om het beste in leraren. Dat is hun bezieling als mens en hun pedagogische betrokkenheid op leerlingen. Een leraar bedient en fasciliteert in zijn ogen de groei van leerlingen. Met de dichter Khalil Gibran geeft hij aan dat een leraar niets doet, maar de leerling begeleidt naar de drempel van de eigen geest. Voor hem heeft pedagogische moed ook te maken met ethiek en levensbeschouwing. Waarom zijn we hier? Waarover hebben we het met elkaar in de klas? En als leraren onderling?Deze podcast is mede mogelijk gemaakt door schoolleidersopleiding ATTC, onderwijsadvies School Matters en rustplek De vallei van het goede leven.

New Episode: The Power of Friendship In this episode, I read On Friendship by Khalil Gibran and sit down with my friend Sarah Daniels for a heartfelt conversation about what it truly means to be a friend. We explore the importance of boundaries in friendships, the value of being our own best friend, and how cultivating a strong relationship with ourselves allows us to build deeper, more meaningful connections with others. Friendship is not just about companionship—it's about growth, healing, and becoming the best versions of ourselves. Listen in as we share insights, stories, and reflections on the role of friendship in our lives. And a youth said, Speak to us of Friendship. And he answered, saying: Your friend is your needs answered. He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving. And he is your board and your fireside. For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace     When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the “nay” in your own mind, nor do you withhold the “ay.” And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart; For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed. When you part from your friend, you grieve not; For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain. And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit. For love that seeks aught but the disclosure of its own mystery is not love but a net cast forth: and only the unprofitable is caught.     And let your best be for your friend. If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know its flood also. For what is your friend that you should seek him with hours to kill? Seek him always with hours to live. For it is his to fill your need but not your emptiness. And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. I'd love to hear what you have to say about the episode including thoughts on the poetry and the topics that were discussed. You can email me at poetdelayed@gmail.com.

Joy and sorrow are inseparable, together they came and where one sits alone with you at the board remember that the other is asleep upon your bed,” Khalil Gibran:http://saibalsanskaar.wordpress.com

Tânia Zacharias segue uma máxima do poeta e filósofo libanês Khalil Gibran, de que “o trabalho é amor tornado visível” - é uma extensão do nosso Ser, de quem somos. Fazendo da sua vida uma busca constante por integrar o sutil e o concreto num mundo em eterna transformação, Tânia precisou passar primeiro por um processo interno de mudança a partir da superação de um problema de saúde no auge da sua carreira para, depois, entender que existem novas formas de olhar a vida e toda jornada humana. Após 10 anos no mercado corporativo, onde chegou a cargos de liderança em importantes empresas, ela passou a se relacionar com a potencialidade do corpo feminino. Fundou a “Inner. Co”, um ecossistema de desenvolvimento interno para negócios e líderes do futuro e também é co-fundadora dos Novos Humano(s), um laboratório de inovação que observa uma mudança consciencial na sociedade através das novas demandas de trabalho, consumo e liderança. Neste papo com o podcast "45 Do Primeiro Tempo", a empreendedora, futurista e, acima de tudo, uma apaixonada pela inteligência da natureza, contou sua história de vida, trouxe seu olhar para esse momento de mundo e foi categórica: "Saia do armário com a sua verdade".

Repost Podcast Pauta e Prosa   #05 - Redes sociais, autoestima e dependência - YouTube  "É inegável o papel que a internet e as redes sociais desempenham hoje nas nossas vidas. Estar desconectado é como se tornar invisível, à parte do mundo. Mas se por um lado as tecnologias facilitam a nossa vida, ampliam horizontes, nos permitem o trabalho remoto e a conexão com pessoas em diferentes partes do planeta, por outro, elas podem se tornar uma armadilha sobretudo para nossa saúde mental.  Por isso, as redes sociais são objeto de pesquisa em inúmeros países e que chegam a conclusões parecidas quando estudam de perto os usuários das grandes redes: quanto mais se busca a perfeição nas plataformas digitais e se negligência o real, mais infelizes nos tornamos. Mas qual é a solução? Qual é o caminho do meio? Como podemos nos proteger e ‘pertencer' de maneira mais saudável a esse ambiente sem sermos tão facilmente manipuláveis?  A filosofia pode apontar o caminho rumo ao fortalecimento emocional e evolução, só alcançados pela árdua construção da vida interior. Neste contexto, o pensamento socrático de que o verdadeiro conhecimento vem de dentro, se faz mais atual do que nunca.  Para esta importante e atual reflexão, a edição #05 do “Pauta e Prosa – redes sociais: autoestima e dependência” recebeu a prestigiada professora de filosofia Lúcia Helena Galvão, voluntária da Organização Internacional Nova Acrópole, que ensina filosofia à maneira clássica e que também é palestrante; poetisa; escritora e roteirista das peças “A Voz do Silêncio”, adaptada do livro homônimo de Helena Blavatsky e “O Profeta, baseada na obra de Khalil Gibran, em cartaz em São Paulo.

Let us know what you enjoy about the show!What if your home was not just a place to live, but a living, breathing extension of your very essence? Inspired by the poignant words of Khalil Gibran's "The Prophet," I, Lisa Hopkins, invite you on a journey through the philosophical and spiritual dimensions of what it means to call a place home. We uncover Gibran's insightful vision of houses that inspire freedom and untamed passion, challenging the notion that comfort should define our living spaces. Through his eloquent prose, we are urged to see our homes as masts that propel us forward, not anchors that hold us back, and to fill our spaces not just with objects, but with peace, beauty, and meaningful memories.This episode asks you to reflect deeply on what you truly hold within the walls of your home. Are they shelters of peace and beauty, or merely fortresses of comfort that stifle the soul's yearning for freedom? As we explore Gibran's poetic call to live restlessly within rest, we delve into the idea of letting your spirit dwell in the vastness of the sky, unconfined by physical boundaries. Join me in embracing the wisdom of Gibran, and let his words inspire you to live in the moment, with a newfound understanding of the profound essence of home. Stay safe and healthy, and allow this exploration to resonate with you as it has with me.If you are enjoying the show please subscribe, share and review!

On this episode I'm so honored to be joined by the poet Chelan Harkin. Chelan's poetry journey began at age 21 on the heels of a traumatic event, a mystical event and an unparalleled creative opening where inspired verse started to pour through her with very little need for editing. Her experience with channeling the muse was profound and intimate but also quite private. It took Chelan 12 years to find the courage to share her poetry with the world through her first self-published book, "Susceptible to Light". This publishing journey that began at the end of 2020 has been something of a magic carpet ride characterized by prayer experiments gone right and has included some of the most awe-inspiring events that have completely shifted Chelan's way of relating to herself and the world. Her current published books include "Susceptible to Light", "Let Us Dance: The Stumble and Whirl with The Beloved", "Wild Grace" and "The Prophetess: The Return of The Prophet from The Voice of The Divine Feminine". On the latest episode we discuss:* How a brain tumor and a subsequent pilgrimage inspired by her Baha'i faith led to a spiritual awakening for Chelan at age 21, which included an influx of divinely inspired poetry * How Chelan experiences her creative inspiration as a flow of energy that offers tremendous insight and wisdom* The generative nature of suffering, and why she feels like suffering is simply "energy that hasn't been brought back into the fold of love" * Chelan's incredible publishing journey, which was presided over by two of her favorite dead poets, Hafez and Khalil Gibran* Plus, she reads the first poem that ever flowed through her, "Say Wow" Here are a few notes related to this episode:* You can follow Chelan on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chani.harkin/. You can also find more information about her at her website, www.chelanharkin.com, and follow her on instagram @chelan-harkin* You can pre-order Chelan's new book, The Prophetess: The Return of the Prophet from the Voice of the Divine Feminine, here: https://www.amazon.com/Prophetess-Return-Prophet-Divine-Feminine/dp/1401977561* Chelan discussed her experience growing up within the Baha'i faith.* She also referenced the work of two poets: Hafez, and Khalil Gibran.
