In this episode, Maureen reflects on the gap so many justice-centered organizations face between what they say they value—and how it actually feels to work inside them.She explores the concept of Intersectional Integrity as a practice—not of perfection, but of presence.You'll hear reflections on:What it means to lead from alignment rather than collapseHow shame functions as a tool of white supremacy cultureWhy relational accountability begins with honesty about ourselvesMaureen also shares a deeply personal story about her time in these organizations—naming how power, shame, and internalized white supremacy shaped her behavior, and how she's learning to return to her values with more care, embodiment, and truth.This episode uplifts the voices of Black women (shout out to EbonyJanice who taught me to "Listen to Black women") who have long modeled this kind of integrity through rest, ritual, reflection, and refusal—including Tricia Hersey, Rev. angel Kyodo williams, Ashley Marshall, and more.This is not a call-out.

A bridge does more than just connect two points; it spans a gap, carries weight, and withstands tension. In this episode of The Perfectly Imperfect Journey, we're joined by the incredible Carrington Jackson, a woman who has spent her life embodying the role of the bridge in profound ways. Carrington was the bridge that connected her mother and her father's family, opening up a relationship that had once been impossible. She is the bridge that brings people to their yoga mats - not just to move, but to learn, to heal, and to awaken. And she is the bridge in the fight for racial justice, using her voice, her presence, and her unwavering commitment to equity to create real, lasting change. This conversation is about connection, courage, and transformation. It's about the willingness to step into uncomfortable spaces, to hold the tension between worlds, and to become the link that allows others to cross over into new ways of seeing, being, and leading. Bio: For nearly 30 years, Carrington's study of yoga has been a diverse journey through the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual components of the practice. Carrington began teaching in 2004 and is registered with the Yoga Alliance as an e-RYT 500. Her classes are a canvas of practice, prayer and presence, intertwined with messages of spirit, activism and social responsibility. On a physical level, her teaching is centered on bringing people to a deeper knowing and acceptance of themselves. On a soulful level, the purpose of her teaching is to correlate yoga on and off the mat… ultimately paving the way from the I to the WE.   She currently serves both as a guest instructor for many teacher training programs throughout the country and as a mentor to yoga teachers around the world. Alongside her yoga teaching practice, Carrington is a global retreat leader, passionate human rights activist, community organizer and movement chaplain. Having gratefully learned from many teachers over the years, a few teachers that have greatly influenced her personal and teaching practices are Seane Corn, Rev angel KYODO williams, Hala Khouri, Carolyn Myss and of course the greatest teacher of all… Life.

Just när Japan och hela Ostasien undsluppit sig en kollektiv suck av besvikelse över att man blev utan pris i naturvetenskaperna kom det glädjande, och kanske lite överraskande, besked från både Stockholm och Oslo. Litteraturpriset till sydkoreanska författaren Han Gang och fredspriset till Nihon Hidankyo en organisation för överlevarna efter atombomberna mot Hiroshima och Nagasaki. Japanpodden går på djupet och sätter prisen i perspektiv. Nihon Hidankyo är en organisation som inte sällan jobbat i motvind i Japan, och det var först 2016 som en amerikansk president tog sig för att besöka Hiroshima. NYHETERValförberedelserna inför valet till parlamentets underhus den 27 oktober är nu i full gång och allas ögon är på hur det Liberaldemokratiska Partiets nye ledare, tillika premiärministern Shigeru Ishiba, ska navigera genom en snårskog av skandaler och splittring inom det egna partiet. Ishiba inledde sin kampanj i staden Iwaki i Fukushima län, alltså det län som drabbades hårdast av kärnkatastrofen och jordbävningen i mars 2011. “Vi måste se till att bygga upp Fukushima efter katastroferna, sade Ishiba och tillade att en återuppbyggnad är helt avgörande för Japans framtid.Samtidigt som Ishiba inlett en intensiv kampanjresa runt om i Japan är det många bedömare som varnar för att hans popularitet dalar efter beslutet att utestänga flera ledande politiker i det egna partiet på grund av deras påstådda inblandning i en skandal kring politiska donationer. Det folkliga stödet för Ishiba och hans regering ligger enligt en opinionsundersökning gjord av nyhetsbyrån Kyodo på 42 procent, vilket är ett tapp på hela 8 procentenheter jämfört med för bara ett par veckor sedan. —--------------Om vi fortsätter på valtemat så är det den här gången rekordmånga kvinnor som ställer upp. Sammanlagt 314 kvinnor kan väljarna lägga sin röst på och det är en ökning sedan senaste valet men fortfarande så är det bara en knapp fjärdel, eller 23,4 % av kandidaterna som är kvinnor vilket ligger långt under målet på 35 % som skulle vara uppnåt till nästa enligt den handlingsplan som regeringen antagit. Flest kvinnliga kandidater ställer Kommunistpartiet upp med, nästa fyra av tio kandidater är kvinnor. Sämst med jämlikheten är det i regeringspartierna LDP och Komeito där bara var sjätte kandidat är kvinna.—------Ekonomi. Medan övriga industriländer nu är i färd med att sänka räntorna efter det att inflation fallit tillbaka så väljer Japan att göra tvärtom. Centralbanken,  Bank of Japan, väntas dock försiktigt fram för att inte äventyra den ekonomiska återhämtning som är på gång och därför väntas styrräntan ligga på 1 % i januari 2026, jämfört med 0,25 procent i dagsläget. Japans problem har länge varit deflation, alltså att priserna går ner, vilket anses hämma konsumtionen då folk avvaktar med att sina inköp i tron att priserna kommer att vara lägre längre fram. Men nu tycks trenden vara på väg att vända, med stigande inflation under de senaste fyra månaderna samtidigt som årets löneökningar ligger på i snitt 2,9 %. —-------------Tokyo Metro som driver nio av tunnelbanelinjerna i den japanska huvudstaden kommer att noteras på Tokyobörsen den 23 oktober efter det ägarna - den japanska staten och Tokyo stad - valt att sälja ut hälften av sina aktier. Intresset för att äga aktier Tokyo Metro uppges ha varit stort både bland allmänheten och större investerare, såväl i Japan som utomlands. 6,5 miljoner passagerare åker med någon av Tokyo Metros linjer varje dag vilket gör företaget till ett av de största lokaltrafikbolagen i världen. Förutom tunnelbanelinjerna så äger Tokyo Metro också fastigheter shoppingarkader. —--------En högt uppsatt medlem i gangstersyndikatet Kodokai i Gifu län har gripts av polis efter anklagelser om att han på falska grunder begärt ersättning för en avkapad fingerled. Enligt polisen ska mannen själv ha kapat yttersta leden på sitt ena lillfinger i en så kallad yubitsume-ritual som görs av gängmedlemmar som ett sätt att sona eventuella fel de begått. Yubitsume är relativt vanligt inom yakuzan - den organiserade brottsligheten, men den här gången valde den nu utpekade gängmedlemmen att uppsöka sjukhus för att få behandling för vad han beskrev som en olyckshändelse, när han i själva verket kapat fingret själv. Därmed undvek han vårdkostnader på motsvarande nära 3 000 kronor - det pris han egentligen skulle betalat då skadan var självförvållad. Enligt polisen är det första gången som en gängmedlem arresteras för den här typen av brott.    —---------   Det klagas titt som tätt på att turisterna börjar bli så många i Japan att de ställer till problem för boende i populära orter som exempelvis Kyoto. Men nu har de styrande i staden tillsammans med ett e-handelsföretag tagit fram en lösning där besökare som donerar en summa pengar kan få ett presentkort och tips på särskilt utvalda, och kanske okända, platser och etablissemang värda att besöka. Tanken är att det ska vara en win-win situation där Kyoto stad får in pengar som kan användas för att bevara och utveckla kulturellt värdefulla platser samtidigt som turisterna kanske känner att de gör en insats och samtidigt belönas för det. Donate & Go heter konceptet och slår det väl ut är tanken att det ska implementeras också på fler platser. Så håll utkik nästa gång du besöker Japan.       This is a public episode.

Japan's Supreme Court on Wednesday awarded damages to victims of forced sterilizations conducted under the now-defunct eugenic protection law.  Handing down a unified ruling on five related damages suits, the top court's Grand Bench, presided over by Chief Justice Saburo Tokura, decided not to apply the 20-year statute of limitations for damages claims, a focal point of the case. It effectively handed total victory to the plaintiffs.

The 2024 World Para Athletics Championships which was held from May 17th to May 25th ended on Saturday. Barrier Free Japan went to the entrance of the stadium and found it to be accessible. Not all did find it accessible though, and a woman - she never gave her name - with her husband and daughter, a daughter who has cerebral palsy. Kyodo reported: “But another Kobe resident in her 50s said that the city was "divided in some parts," while also lamenting that attendance could have been better. She came to see the tournament with her husband and daughter, who has cerebral palsy and is wheelchair-bound.” Some people with disabilities who use wheelchairs find ‘wheelchair-bound' to be offensive and prefer the term ‘wheelchair user'. Barrier Free Japan sometimes gets comments and posts on social media about this issue.

“There's no such thing as personal change outside of a social context. You actually can't separate a person from our social context. And that is just like, well, duh, how did they ever think we could do that?”Check out the episode page for the transcript and the full list of the resources mentioned in this episode: https://widerroots.com/8 In this conversation with Staci Haines, we dive into the intersection of personal transformation and structural social change. I appreciate Staci's commitment to holding these two aspects as inseparable - that true healing and justice require both inner work and outer change. We explore some challenging questions: How can we navigate conversations around Palestine and Gaza with our clients in a way that is grounded in compassion and truth? How do we ensure that transformational modalities don't inadvertently reinforce passivity in the face of injustice, but rather empower us to create change? What are the key distinctions between coaching and therapy, and how can we discern our realm of competency as practitioners?Staci Haines is a pioneer in the field of politicized somatics and trauma healing. For over three decades, Staci has been dedicated to bridging personal and social transformation, guided by the belief that we cannot have one without the other. As the co-founder of generative somatics and a senior teacher at the Strozzi Institute, she brings a depth of wisdom and experience to her work supporting individuals and movements in healing trauma and embodying transformative change. ⭐ Key moments02:43 - Opening05:03 - Staci's roots: personal + systemic transformation12:32 - The power of somatics in social change work17:58 - How we're showing up for Palestine27:54 - How do we move beyond individualism in healing and coaching36:09 - Coaching to challenge the status quo, not to cope with It39:43 - Imagining new credentialing orgs for politicized coaching/healing59:25 - Staci's sources of joy1:04:22 - Closing

On this episode of Point of Relation, Thomas is joined by author, spiritual teacher, outspoken activist, and the founder of the Center for Transformative Change - Reverend angel Kyodo williams. They discuss the healing power of being seen as your true self, and how this creates the conditions for collective healing. Rev. angel explores how systems of power and oppression have created divisions in our society and undermined our sense of belonging, especially for Black people and other marginalized groups.But in creating safe spaces that are resilient enough to allow our true selves and feelings to arise, we find relationality through our suffering, and begin to heal these culturally ingrained divisions. And while this work is neither comfortable nor easy, our increasing willingness to sit with discomfort illustrates our innate desire for liberation and connectedness. ✨ Become a member of Thomas Hübl's membership community, The Mystic Café, and join us for an all-new 10-Day Challenge: Cultivating Space.

Rahshaana Green is a multidisciplinary wellness consultant who combines her knowledge and experience in science, yoga and building human connection to help people heal. She's a Forrest Yoga Guardian and the Director of Equity and Contemplative Psychotherapy at the Nalanda Institute, where she directs and teaches within the Contemplative Psychotherapy Programs.In their conversation, Rahshaana tells Anne about being a curious kid, a high performer and voracious reader who used books as windows into other worlds. She talks about how she learned the power of agency from her mother, who taught her and her siblings, with a ‘scared-straight' approach, how to make choices to take life into the direction they intended. The oldest of four, Rahshaana admits that her choices were also a potential blueprint for her siblings, and how a desire to influence them positively led her to pursue an early career in science. After receiving her BA in Biophysical Chemistry from Dartmouth College and an MBA from The University of Texas at Austin, Rahshaana talks about how she combined her passion for science and business skills, which led her to pursue a fifteen-year career in Marketing and Business Development for medical device and life science companies.Rahshaana then explains how an accident directed her towards yoga — Forrest Yoga specifically. Able to heal herself through this practice, she tells Anne how she made the choice to certify as a teacher and with the support of an amazing manager was able to do so in parallel to her career. She continued to pursue a personal study in meditation, mindfulness and compassion practices to deepen her own growth and to empower others to cultivate well-being and resilience.Reaching the present, Anne asks Rahshaana to talk through her journey that led her to the Nalanda Institute in Contemplative Science (which is, incidentally, how the two became acquainted). Rahshaana talks in depth about the programs she teaches in Compassion-Based Resilience Training (CBRT). And who needs to explore CBRT? Probably everyone, according to her, because, as we can probably all attest, ‘human-ing' is hard. To conclude, the pair discusses how the power of compassion and mindfulness combined can help people access emotions, including difficult emotions, and become resilient to feelings like discomfort. And they talk about the importance of intimacy — a word that can describe the connection we can hope to have with the body — as a form of ultimate intelligence. A profound and inspiring conversation.

Our minds have been largely preoccupied with the COVID-19 pandemic the past couple of years, but that doesn't mean the threats caused by the climate crisis have gone away. Still, sometimes it feels like environmental issues don't loom as large in Japan as they do in other countries.  Two of our guests on this episode of Deep Dive, Hanae Takahashi and Eric Margolis, currently cover climate issues for The Japan Times. They have spoken to Japan-based environmentalists about how the media in this country could do a better job at informing the Japanese public on these issues, so they can make better decisions when voting. First, however, we are joined by former Deep Dive host and climate journalist Oscar Boyd who takes part in a conversation on the larger picture when it comes to the environment and how we can better equip ourselves with knowledge when it comes to this rather overwhelming issue.  Read/ hear more: Bloomberg Green's “Zero” podcast Yuka Natori: Starting a climate initiative in your own community would be great (Hanae Takahashi, The Japan Times) The true cost of the climate crisis on Japan (Eric Margolis, The Japan Times) What can we do to fight the climate crisis from Japan?

Notes: Lisa Forkish shares her song, Hymn to Loving, and talks about song titling, songwriting away from keyboards, deconstructing binaries, singing as a pure, liberating expression of the self, learning to love and be tender with our voice... and the surprise of connections through Zoom. Now, maybe that's all immediately appealing to you, or maybe it sounds complicated and brain-challenging! Let me tell you, Lisa has a gentle, welcoming presence and wide-open curiosity and questioning that makes this conversation a pleasure to eavesdrop on -- and whether her views raise questions for you, or drop easily into your pocket, I hope you will find useful connections through Lisa's explanations and in the links to help you follow up on whatever sparks your interest. She talks a lot about what she experiences as healing in voice work... and a tiny bit about her experience with the movie, Pitch Perfect, and her role in popularizing and opening up the collegiate acapella world. Songwriter Info: Lisa Forkish (she/they) is a queer singer-songwriter, community-builder, artivist, song-healer, and self-described "Love Warrior," infusing all she creates with fierce authenticity and heart. For the past 20 years, Lisa has been using song as both an expressive art and a tool for building connection. For Lisa, facilitating music spaces is much more than a job; it is a sacred calling. Lisa breathes humanity into their music and teaching with infectious joy and compassion, aiming to heal the wounds of music elitism and not-enoughness through an embodied, trauma-informed and heart-centered approach. For Lisa, Love is paramount and closeness is the antidote to cisheteropatriarchy, white supremacist delusion and cultural disconnection. Lisaʻs mission is to utilize music for personal and collective healing and liberation.  Links: Lisa's website: lisaforkish.com Lisa's singing offerings: wesingthebody.com adrienne maree brown (principles of emergent strategy): https://adriennemareebrown.net/ Holistic Resistance (Black-led movement facilitating racial justice and other work to heal oppression): https://www.holisticresistance.com/ white supremacy culture (what exactly does that mean?): https://www.whitesupremacyculture.info/ Rev angel Kyodo williams (radical dharma): https://angelkyodowilliams.com/ On Being podcast (Krista Tippett interviews with various people): https://onbeing.org/ Brene Brown (wholehearted, daring living): https://brenebrown.com/ Rhiannon (vocal art as vehicle for change; improvisation): https://rhiannonmusic.com/ Nuts & Bolts: 4:4, Mixolydian, verse followed by layer Join the A Breath of Song mailing list to receive a heads up as a new episode is released, plus a large version of the artwork, brief thoughts from my slightly peculiar brain... and occasional extras when they seem vitally important!
