Welcome to the Aphasia Access Aphasia Conversations Podcast. I'm Katie Strong and I'm a member of the Aphasia Access Podcast Working Group. I'm also a faculty member at Central Michigan University where I lead the Strong Story Lab. Aphasia Access strives to provide members with information, inspiration, and ideas that support their aphasia care through a variety of educational materials and resources. I'm today's host for an episode that will feature Dr. Sabine Corsten. We'll be talking about her work which focuses on supporting people with aphasia in reconstructing their narrative identity. Before we get into the conversation, let me first tell you a bit about our guest. Dr. Corsten, Professor of Therapy and Rehabilitation Sciences (Speech Therapy), employed at the Catholic University of Applied Sciences, Mainz, Germany, has focused her research on participatory and quality of life-oriented interventions for aphasia and in old age. Her research explores how identity changes after having aphasia. She has led the development of the biographical narrative approach 'narraktiv' in Germany. She is currently involved in the development of digital solutions to support peer biography work and social networking in aphasia and in old age. The app, BaSeTaLK, to support biography work in senior citizen facilities to improve quality of life and communication was awarded the Digital Health Award by Novartis. She has presented her work at international conferences and has published internationally. Dr. Corsten has been a visiting researcher at the Centre of Research Excellence in Aphasia Recovery and Rehabilitation at La Trobe University in Melbourne and at the University of Queensland in Brisbane. In this episode you will: Learn about how identity and narrative are connected to quality of life. Hear about the development of the Biographic Narrative Approach. Learn about how an app, BaSeTaLK, was used for older adults in nursing home populations to improve their quality of life. Hear about how parking lot conversation in Philadelphia led to an international working group on narrative identity and that that group's vision is to train students and clinicians in gaining competence in narrative identity work. Katie Strong: Welcome. I can't tell you how excited I am to have this conversation with you today. Sabine Corsten: Yes, thank you for the invitation. I feel really honored to be invited. So yeah, I'm really excited too and I'm looking forward to our discussion today. Katie Strong: Fantastic. As we get started, could you tell our listeners exactly what is meant by ‘narrative identity'? And why this is so important for our work with people who have chronic communication disabilities such as aphasia? Sabine Corsten: Thank you for this first question because I really think it's important to have a clear concept of identity and narrative identity to understand the biographic narrative approach and similar approaches like your approach about storytelling. And also, I think narrative identity is kind of a key objective in improving quality of life, so it's really necessary to understand it. When we started our work, we looked at sociocultural theories and we found that identity is constantly transformed through, for example, social interaction with other people. So, this means identity is renegotiated in dialogue with others. Therefore, you need narrative competencies, which means the competencies to talk about oneself and intersubjective exchange. So, I think these social interactions are necessary to interpret and integrate important life events in your life story. Important life events can be very positive things like a wedding, but also negative things like having a serious illness. And so, these processes to interpret and integrate these life events are crucial for optimal identity development and for psychological well-being. This means these kinds of life stories or life narratives facilitate the process of understanding what happens to you and your life, and they help you to make sense of these crucial or critical life events like a stroke, for example. By this, the sense of identity can be restored, or you can find a renewed meaning to life. And now, you can have this bridge to quality of life, because quality of life seems to depend on meaningfulness and optimal identity development gives this meaningfulness to your life. So, this is very closely connected. Maybe to sum it up, identity development or identity work can be seen as an ongoing process that forms a connection between the past, the present, and the future, and also between different roles you have in life as somebody in a professional role or in a family role. It also connects different life areas. And this narrative character of identity means the medium to do this narration is telling about yourself so that you can connect these different times in your life and areas. And also, I think this is really important, it gives you a feeling of coherence so that you recognize yourself as the same person over time, despite changes in your life and your roles. So, you have the impression of continuity and the feeling of agency that you are able to make decisions and to act. That was a long explanation about identity. Now looking at aphasia as a chronic communication disability and as a really critical life event, especially asked for this identity work. However, the really necessary competencies, the narrative competencies are limited. So, the intensity and the length of the conversations are limited. And you can say, yeah, aphasia is a biographical disruption, so it disrupts everyday life routines, disrupts aims and perspectives. But it also disrupts the possibility to cope. So, because of the language difficulties, and I mean, you know her better, but I think it's so impressive how Barbara Shadden equated aphasia to ‘identity theft', because people can't use language for these necessary coping processes. And so, people with aphasia often describe themselves as more deficit oriented. You can see, for example, about 60% of people with aphasia suffer from signs of depression one year after having a stroke. We also know that improvement in language skills does not mean there is the same improvement in quality of life. This was the starting point for our work. Katie Strong: Thanks Sabine. Yeah, so it really is important. The stories that we tell others and the stories that we tell ourselves about ourselves have a significant impact on our quality of life. Well, I'm just so curious if you could share about how you became interested in this work? Sabine Corsten: That's a very good question. I mean, you know a bit about it, and it was really an exciting journey because of when I started working with people with aphasia. When I started my professional career, my work was really about classical language-based therapy, so it was symptom-oriented, and we were looking at functional themes. For example, my Ph.D. was about phonological therapy and aphasia. And that was really changed when I started working in Mainz as a professor. So, we had this discussion at home about how language is connected with thinking. So, the connection between language and thinking and people with language difficulties. How can they work on their self-image because this essential to language is missing or limited? From a sociological point of view, the question came up, “what does this mean for the experience of oneself?” And to be honest, I had no answer. And I was expected to be the expert, so I thought, “I have to look this up,” because this is a really new path. And thinking, “what does it really mean to have this language difficulties apart from word finding difficulties and symptoms I knew about?” I was not sure if there was something in the literature, but then I found the articles from Barbara Shadden and I had to look up this work. But I know now that this was the initial spark for me, because then I really thought, okay, there's already somebody who wants to understand what it means for people with aphasia to work on their identity and what it means for their further life and coping processes. And, so yeah, this was the starting point. And my work was always about conceptualizing intervention, so I thought, “okay, I want to understand how identity processes can take place when you have suffered from aphasia.” But I also want to support the process because it seems that there is a deficit. So, I already had in my mind that I wanted to think about a kind of therapy method or approach. Katie Strong: I think that's where our commonalities lie. You know, I've been a fan of your work since I was a doctoral student working on my dissertation, which was also in narrative methods to support people with aphasia. I would love for our listeners to hear a little bit about the behind the scenes of how you developed the biographic narrative approach and the philosophy behind it. Sabine Corsten: When I found the work of Barbara Shadden, I thought, “okay, there is a starting point for our work.” So, this was when I learned more about the idea of narrative identity and about the idea of, “okay, we want to support people with aphasia to work on their narrative identity.” And in the beginning, it seemed a bit crazy because we wanted to use the thing that is really difficult for them, language to support identity-building processes. So, maybe it's important to mention that during that time, I also met Linda Worrall and Miranda Rose for the first time. They also supported us and said “no, go on. This seems to be a really good starting point,” and, “maybe a bit more about the philosophy is.” The philosophy of biographic narrative work is not really that we found something totally new. What we wanted to do is to support this kind of exchange with other people and to support live storytelling, and people with aphasia despite the language difficulties. I think this is one very important thing. And other characteristics of the philosophy that we thought, “okay, it's not about language improvement, it's more about giving them the tools to tell their story.” So, using multimodal support as written language, or using photos of pictograms. So, all the stuff we already know from traditional speech and language therapy, but really using it to have a deep conversation about their life stories. As a third point, people with aphasia can use their life story as a kind of resource pool so that they could discover, for example, strategies that they used in their former life to overcome challenges. And so that they start thinking, “okay, we can use these strategies again,” and really people told us about that. For example, they realized, “I was always very good at math, so I can do my financial stuff again on my own, I don't need help from my carers.” Another really important point about the narrative approach is that it's really not directive, it's non-directive. So, it's not about, “oh, you're telling me you like to meet other people, then it's a good idea to use or to visit a support group.” No, it's really about finding the solution by themselves. We just listen and try to understand what people tell us, but it's not about giving them a direction. Another very important point is that it has, in my opinion, a preventive character. So, it's not a kind of psychotherapy and it's not about working on depression. It's really about preventing depression or working with people with mild symptoms. I think these are really very important characteristics of the approach, and you asked about how we developed it. So, we work in an interdisciplinary team consisting of, of course, speech and language pathologists, but we also had an adult educator on our team to learn more about the theory behind narrative identity. And we also got advice from psychologists and sociologists, really to learn more about these other disciplines. So, this, I think, is what is behind the approach. Maybe, should I also tell you a bit about how it works? Katie Strong: Please. Yes, please do! Sabine Corsten: And I forgot, apart from the professional workers who were part of the team, we also asked people with aphasia, for example, about the language we use in the approach. So, to learn more about easy language, or, for example, to select topics that were really important for them and what they want to talk about. The approach itself consists of individual and group sessions, five individual and seven group sessions, in the evaluated version, and the sessions took place over ten weeks in our study. For the individual sessions, we mainly based them on a kind of unstructured interview format, it's called the ‘narraktiv' interview or the narrative interview. So, this should really give people with aphasia the chance to tell about their life story. For example, we started these sessions by asking them, “tell us about your life, you can tell anything you want. We won't interrupt you, and you can just talk about what you really think is important to you.” So, they were not forced, for example, to tell their stroke story. And there were also people who started with very different things, for example, with the death of their mother or things like that. The first three sessions were about this unstructured interview form, and then we had two more individual sessions which were a bit more guided about relevant biographic narrative, relevant topics, for example, family, or health, their professional career perspectives for the future, things like that. And we also used these last two individual sessions a bit to prepare the people with aphasia for the group sessions. And during the seven group sessions, we had a speech and language therapist and educator who kind of moderated the conversations. So, they really worked as a kind of communication broker by just supporting the conversation, introducing people to the topic, and asking questions so that everybody was able to take part in the conversation. And we also decided to include people with really severe deficits in speech production, so people with severe apraxia of speech. And again, we offered them to use pictograms and written language. We also had some worksheets, for example, we had something like a card and people could write down, “so, this is me” in the middle, and then they could put people around themselves. So, “these (people) are my family. These (people) are my best friends,” to show how close they are to the individual persons. And after ten weeks, we stopped the intervention, and we had a conversation after three months to listen to the people and to hear how they felt after taking part in the intervention. Katie Strong: Thank you. So, I do have a question. I guess in the group sessions, were they sharing things that they had prepared in their individual sessions? Is that what was happening? Sabine Corsten: Yeah, exactly. For example, they had talking about their families as a topic in the individual sessions. And then they brought, for example, pictures from their family to the group session and introduced the members of their family to the other group members. Yeah, they shared the information that they discussed in the individual sessions. Katie Strong: Fantastic, thanks for clarifying that. Since that initial project, you've been taking this storytelling approach in directions with different stakeholders, and also incorporating technology, specifically with nursing home residents and an app called BaSeTaLK. Could you tell us a little bit more about all of this? Sabine Corsten: Yeah, I mean, really, the core of all of this is the biographic narrative approach. And we really started using this and other settings and with other target groups. And BaSeTaLK, again, an acronym, it's about using it with another target group. So, we decided to work with really old people, residents living at nursing homes, and the idea was to strengthen resources in the late stage of life. And I think you can compare getting old and especially moving into an institution to having a stroke because it's also a very critical life event. You can see that people living in nursing homes really experience a kind of loss of connections and meaningful relationships, which means they also have high rates of depression. I think it's really up to twice as high as people living at home, so they are really in danger of getting a really serious psychological illness. And also, the rates for dying are higher there, so we thought it's another situation where people need support in communication to have the chance to talk about themselves. And again, it's our task to find this kind of preventive solution. It's also not new in working with older people, for example, there is already biographic work or reminiscent work. It's kind of quality characteristic of modern nursing and care for elderly people. But we found that it is mostly used for people with dementia, so then the aim is to facilitate the memory, really, it's not about identity work. So, it's really mostly offered for people with dementia. And another point is, at least in Germany, this kind of reminiscent work is not systematically used in nursing homes because we have this shortage of staff, and this really limits the use. So, we thought that it might be a solution to work with volunteers and older people because we know from the literature that if volunteers and residents are similar, for example, in age, then it's easier for them to collaborate. And so, we thought that we would work with volunteers, and they could go into the nursing homes and have these life storytelling conversations with the residents. And we found in the literature that, for example, in palliative care, this kind of biography work is already done successfully by volunteers. But it's also recommended to use technical devices, for example, specific apps to support the volunteers. And this was the moment when we thought, “okay, let's do this and try to develop an app like BaSeTaLK so that volunteers can use it as a kind of moderation guide and to stimulate these narrations in nursing homes.” The app, BaSeTaLK itself, is kind of about virtual journeys. Let's say it like that. So, it offers the opportunity to go on virtual life journeys and you can visit different virtual places. For example, people can choose to talk during one session about a river or theater. So, it's not just a river or mountains or things like that, you can also go to casual places. And we had a long discussion about if we wanted to conceptualize the app around these locations, because in the beginning I thought that it was much better to have these biography important topics like family, health, and all the things I already knew. But we developed the app together in an interactive process with residents and possible volunteers. They told us that many old people don't want to talk about their family, for example, their partners may be dead or their relationship with their children might not be so good. They might also be a bit more open, so people can talk about their family, but they don't have to. And so, we decided, “okay, let's have these places,” for example, we have a place with a garden that has stimulating questions like, “what did you observe growing during your life?” And then people can decide if they want to stay with the plants and talk about plants, or if they think, “oh, I saw my family growing, and I want to talk about my grandchildren,” they can talk about that. So, the questions are quite metaphorical. You can stay close to the question, or you can give a broader answer. So, this was the idea when we chose to work with these locations. And then the app has a kind of stimulating feature by always asking these kinds of questions, but also having pictures of plants when you look at the garden or of nice places in the scenery. So, people can talk about what they associate with the picture and they can answer the questions. There's also always a kind of specific feature at each location. For example, when you visit the sea, there's the sound of the sea, or you can listen to a podcast or you can listen to music, things like that. The app can be used in one-on-one sessions to stimulate conversations about the life story, but it can also be used in group sessions to facilitate group conversation. I'm not sure, I think this gives the first impression of how the app might work. Katie Strong: Absolutely. No, I think you've given us a great visual of how it can work. I guess one question that I know that's going to come up, Sabine, is “Can anyone access the app?” Or “How do we how do we get access to it?' Sabine Corsten: Yeah, this question really comes up each time we talk about the app, and I think it's a very good question. And, yeah, I would really like to say yes, everybody can use it, because we really had very positive feedback from the users. So, we evaluated in a bigger study including fourteen residents in the target group, I think, and we also had a control group with more than ten people. And the data really showed that there was an improvement in quality of life and quantitative data. But I think it was more impressive that people told us, “yeah, we really started thinking about our lives.” For example, one older woman taking part in the intervention, I think she was 94 years old, she said, “so this intervention was a turning point in my life. So now I look at my past and much more positive way.” And I mean, she was a really old woman, and she took part in twelve sessions. In total, we have 15 locations in the app, but we only work for three months with our residents. I think this tells so much about what happens when you take part in such biographic narrative interventions. And I mean, we really work with people with maximum mild cognitive deficits, so it was really for older people with almost no cognitive deficits. Now to your question, after this long answer, we published the app as open-source code, but I had to learn that it doesn't mean that it's an app shop or that you can immediately use it. It means everybody can work with this code, so other coders, IT people, tech people can start changing the code or working with the code, but companies can also do that. We don't have the funding to really go on with the app or to operate it on a regular basis. So, we are looking for bigger institutions, for example, institutions working with a lot of nursing homes in Germany so that they can operate the app. We are also discussing going on with the app with the colleagues from La Trobe with Miranda Rose. So, we already translated all the language stuff from the app so that it can be used, for example, in Australia. And there's the idea that it can also be used when you work with people with aphasia because it really has easy language with hardly any barriers. It's easy to use and the interface is very simple. So, at the moment, we think it might also be a good idea to train people with aphasia to use it as a kind of peer leader in support groups, for example. So, we try to find that kind of money to go on with the app and we also try to transfer to other targets. Katie Strong: Important work and we certainly hope that the funding comes your way. I love that it can be applied to a variety of populations. You've talked a little bit about the coding but tell us more about what it was like to develop the BaSeTaLK app, and who was part of your team. All of that good stuff. Sabine Corsten: It was a really new experience for me because it was my first tech project. And we started this tech journey before the pandemic so we didn't know that would become so important for people in the nursing homes. And, as I already mentioned, we started the development or process in a so-called user-centered process. So, this means all the possible users were involved in the whole process, to really old people living in nursing homes, to older people who might work as volunteers. So really from the starting point, we started working with them in focus group meetings. And these focus groups were led by two of our research workers, two speech and language pathologists, and also our tech guy who programmed the app was part of the focus groups. And they met on a regular basis. So, in the beginning, we started looking at recommendations in the literature and requirements. And then we presented this to our focus group members, and they commented on it, or they were also able to use some prototypes we developed. And so, this we presented it to them, and they would give new recommendations to us, or they talked about their requirements. Katie Strong: I think it's so thoughtful and so important that we bring in stakeholders so early in a product development like this, you know. Sabine Corsten: Yeah, we really learned about, for example, the selection of the topics. So, they told us not to offer topics like family or health, because this is so difficult for so many old people. So, start with other topics, maybe easier topics, and then you can create variety in the depths of the conversations by using different kinds of questions. So, this really came from the groups, it was not in our minds. I think this was really important to learn a bit more about that and also about the interface. I mean, now I say, “yeah, we work with a simple interface,” but this means really simple. So, because of all the things that we already know about the menu, and all these things are very difficult for people. I mean, we are talking about people 80 years and older. And I think you really have to ask them because otherwise, they can't use the product. What might be interesting is that we had to do this all during the pandemic, so it was difficult for the groups to meet. For example, we ended up clarifying some things, or some topics, by phone calls. So, it was not possible to meet all the people in the group together. This was one of the challenges. I think it's really interesting, we have a Ph.D. project using interviews with the members of the focus groups after being part of this focus group work and phone calls and all of this stuff. And I think this is interesting because we are all still able to show that this participatory work or process was really a very good experience for the members of the group. So, we found some indications for personal growth and personal empowerment. So, they were talking about how they have found or developed some new competencies. And I think this was also interesting that even the people who were just part of the focus group meetings benefited. Katie Strong: Yeah, right. It's all about meaningful work, right? Having purpose and doing meaningful things. I love that. Well, I'd like to shift gears a bit and share with our listeners about how we met at the International Aphasia Rehabilitation Conference (IARC) in Philadelphia, in the Hilton parking lot of all places to meet. And we ended up having this beautiful parking lot conversation with you, me, Sarah Northcott, Rhianne Brinkman, and Bianca Spelter. It was kind of the start of this international working group that we have for narrative identity. You've been the leader for this group, and I was just curious if you could share a bit about what we've been up to and a few of the goals of our working group. Sabine Corsten: I mean, I already told you that I'm really not sure if I am the leader, but I really like being a part of the group or a member of the group. And, yeah, I really wanted to get to know you and also about Barbara Shadden to be honest, because I admired this work. And so, when I came to Philadelphia and saw you on the presenters list, I thought, “okay, I want to get to know her, and I want to get to know, of course, Barbara.” And then, I think it was really nice to get to know all of the other people you mentioned already. And I think it's so great that we have this group, and that we meet on a regular basis, since last summer. So, for me, I think it's really a very specific opportunity to learn more about the storytelling approach, about the theoretical background, and also to meet people who really believe in the same thing. This inspires a lot in me, I think, so that I think, “yeah, we are on the right way because we are together.” So I think, but you can correct me, one of the goals of our group is to have an exchange about our work and about the things that are important to us, looking at our professional work. Another thing, and I think this is something I like very much, is to develop joint projects to have or to come to results, for example. And I think one really interesting path is to think of how to support storytelling, for example, in the acute or post-acute phase of aphasia. And I think we talked about this in the beginning and then we thought about other projects. And I mean, at the moment, I don't know what you think, but I think it's great that it has already started. So, we are already working on a joint project, and this was about introducing students and speech and language pathologist clinicians to the narrative approach, and especially to the approach you use, the life storytelling approach. And maybe combined a bit with the ‘narraktiv' approach, to work on the training together, to train and inspire other clinicians, and to facilitate them using the approach. And I mean, in the Netherlands, Rhianne Brinkman already started with a few students to do this course. And, yeah, I'm really curious about what she will find. And I think it's about giving the students or the clinicians more information about the theoretical background, but also giving them the opportunity to make their own experiences and to try the approach with people with aphasia. Katie Strong: Absolutely, it's just been great to connect with all of our newfound colleagues. And I agree with the sharing of ideas and seeing what we can do to maybe move this work forward to be able to have a farther reach. You just talked a little bit about the student training. But I do think one of the things our group has been talking about is, you know, how can we begin to train clinicians in understanding the constructs related to narrative and identity and methods to use with our clients and exploring their own stories to help them move forward? I was wondering if you could tell a little bit about what the working group has been discussing and maybe has in the works. Sabine Corsten: I already mentioned it a bit. So, it is about how to add to, what training could look like, or what we really want to share with clinicians and students. And to me, I don't know what you think, but there are two parts to it. There's this part about giving the theoretical background and really facilitating people in understanding why it is important to look at identity and how identity is connected to communication. And, again, this is connected to quality of life and to our work. So, because I think the aim of rehabilitation is a growth in participation and quality of life, and the training part is also closely connected to this. So, giving them the tools to do this, to feel comfortable so that they know how to ask questions, or how to react when people start crying, for example. I mean, it's normal to be upset when you talk about, for example, your stroke story. So, if you are sad that you've lost specific skills, this is very normal. I think this is the part, knowing about the background and knowing about the tools or methods you can use. And the second part is about the mindset to really see that this is our work, and we are responsible for it because we know how to facilitate communication and how to open the space for this kind of conversation. And I think this should also be part of this experience that we want to share with clinicians and students. That they can see this as really their responsibility, but also as a big chance for us to have a new kind of working area, in addition, of course, to the classical field and to the language-based therapy. Katie Strong: Yeah, I agree. I agree. It's beautiful work, but it does take a different mindset to do. Well, Sabine, we're coming to the conclusion of our conversation, and I was just curious if you had any final thoughts you'd like to share with our listeners as we wrap this up? Sabine Corsten: Whoa, that's a really difficult one, because I think we talked about a lot of important topics, or thoughts during the last hour almost. I think, maybe the take-home message is to first be aware of the psychosocial consequences of aphasia. I mean, I think a lot of people know about it, but really to be aware of all the changes these people suffer from. It's not only about language, it's about all the other life areas we mentioned. And maybe another take-home message I already mentioned is to feel that we as speech and language pathologists can be part of the solution. So that it's really our part to offer approaches and to conceptualize approaches that might help here. Because, when I look, for example, at the Stepped Care program, this is not established in Germany. But for example, in Australia, this means that really everybody suffering from aphasia can be part of a psychosocial approach. And then, depending on the severity of the psychological difficulties, you can decide if you only maybe have a kind of biographic intervention, or if you need problem solving therapies, or if you really need psychotherapy. I think this would be a good thing to start with, as maybe level one interventions like the storytelling approach, or like the biographic narrative approach, that we start establishing these kinds of approaches for people with aphasia. And that speech and language pathologists feel comfortable doing it, but they also have the opportunity to maybe collaborate with psychologists and can say, “okay, and now we have another level or another severity of psychological problems.” And now we need to collaborate, or the psychologist needs to take over. I think that if we can go on that journey, this would be great to find more solutions in collaboration with other disciplines. Katie Strong: Yes, I agree. I agree that we, you know, have a role in supporting people beyond just their language impairment and that using story is one way to do that. Absolutely. Well, Sabine, I appreciate the conversation today. Thank you so much for being a part of this.

Ep 1: Daniel Mroz on defining Chinese martial arts. What is the relationship between Chinese martial arts and Chinese theatre, religion, mime, serious leisure activities, fighting and military tactics? How do all these factors intermingle and produce the arts we have today? In this wide-ranging discussion between Graham Barlow of The Tai Chi Notebook and Daniel Mroz, Professor of Theatre at the University of Ottawa we tackle all these subjects and more. As well as being a professor of theatre, Daniel is also a Choy Li Fut and Tai Chi Chuan practitioner, and has lectured at the Martial Arts Studies conference. He writes books and contributes articles to various journals including the Martial Arts Studies journal. Podcast Notes and links 1) Daniel Mroz quote in full: By ‘Chinese martial arts', I refer to folkways that began to assume their present forms from the mid 19th to the early 20th centuries, at the end of the Imperial, and the beginning of the Republican periods of Chinese history. These arts train credible fighting abilities through exacting physical conditioning; through partnered, combative drills and games; and through the practice of prearranged movement patterns called tàolù 套路 (Mroz, 2017 & 2020). For millennia, up end of the Imperial period in 1912, China explicitly understood itself as a religious state (Lagerwey 2010). Communities across China not only used their martial arts to defend themselves, they performed them as theatrical acts of religious self-consecration, communal blessing, and entertainment in an annual calendar of sacred festivals (Ward, 1978; Sutton, 2003; Boretz, 2010; Amos, 2021). Modernization, and secularization at the end of the Imperial period removed the original context of these practices. The Chinese martial arts were transformed over the course of the 20th century by both their worldwide spread, and by their ideological appropriation by the Chinese Republic of 1912, and the Communist state that succeeded it in 1949 (Morris, 2004). Their religious heritage forgotten in many social, and cultural contexts within greater China, and internationally, the arts we practice today combine a legacy of pragmatic combat skill, religious enaction, participatory recreation, competitive athleticism, and performed entertainment. 2) THE STRENUOUS LIFE PODCAST WITH STEPHAN KESTING 334 - Ten Guru Warning Signs with Dr Dr Chris Kavanagh https://kesting.libsyn.com/334-ten-guru-warning-signs-with-dr-dr-chris-kavanagh 3) Peter Johnsson http://www.peterjohnsson.com/higher-understanding-and-deeper-reckoning/ Peter Johnsson - long video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6N3x_4gOtw&list=PLvIylNOaOkiZxaCtKkEVlVP3gQGXHpgSG Peter Johnsson - short video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiSoLMx3v0I 4) Cung Le Sao Choy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRQkV0DWjlE 5) Daniel Mroz Tàolù – The Mastery of Space: https://mas.cardiffuniversitypress.org/articles/abstract/10.18573/mas.111/ Academic page: https://dmroz.academia.edu 6) China: A Religious State, John Lagerwey https://books.google.co.uk/books/about/China.html?id=WAOOzQi0dCkC&redir_esc=y You can stay in touch and support The Tai Chi Notebook by visiting our website www.thetaichinotebook.com and following our page on Facebook.

042 - The Mogao Caves of Dunhuang

Wonders of the World

A great trade route connected China to the West: the Silk Road. No place in China better illustrates the value of that route than Dunhuang, site of the Mogao Caves, grottos carved into a cliffside which hold the largest collection of Buddhist art anywhere. In Gansu province, Dunhuang was the site of the Jade Gate, where the main road left China into the lands beyond. Nathan Cherry of the Silk Road History Podcast helps tell the story of these caves, their city, and the route, starting with the expedition of Zhang Qian, China's Lewis (or maybe Clark?) who first traversed into the unknown. More stories follow: the son of immigrants who translated the sutras, the daughter who went to war, the crown prince who saved countless artifacts. The caves are remarkable; the town is too, nestled against giant sand dunes at the edge of the desert. To eat, try Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup, the perfect breakfast, if you like soup for breakfast - Westerners might find this a perfect dinner instead. Selected Sources: Keay, John.

The crew shake off a rough weekend of road results and look forward to the region's last home opener of 2018. Whitecaps coverage this week focuses assessing individual performances in the loss at Salt Lake. Despite the setback, there's optimism about Friday's big home match with LAFC. The Whitecaps have the chance to make things right on both sides of the ball in their first outing against the new expansion side, will they get it done? Ari Liljenwall of MLSsoccer.com updates us on the injury situation in Seattle and projects a lineup for Sounders' match at Sporting KC on Sunday. It's a really difficult test for a squad that's in a tough spot to begin with -- does Ari think Seattle will grab a first positive league result of the year? Ed Pham and Tenzin Choephel dissect Portland's demoralizing 3-2 loss in Orlando, with frustration about officiating, substitutions and missed chances all coming to the surface. We try to set the disappointment aside quickly just as the Timbers will have to on account of Saturday's home opener against Minnesota United -- what does Portland look like at home under Giovanni Savarese, and can he pick up his first MLS victory as manager? Playlist: 00:00 - Whitecaps fall flat at RSL; LAFC match represents big opportunity on both ends of the field 16:00 - Ari Liljenwall: Is a first positive league result of 2018 possible for Sounders in Kansas City? 38:15 - "Holy Toledo!" and other observations from Portland's trip to Orlando; Home opener preview

We're now three transfer windows into Garth Lagerwey's tenure as head of the Seattle Sounders' technical staff. All three have been reasonably active. About a month after the last one has closed, we're starting to get a better picture of just how effective this one has been. Jeremiah met Lagerwey in his office at Starfire Sports Complex last Thursday. They talked about the proper way to pronounce his name (“how much does a lager weigh?”), his general philosophy on roster building, how he measures success at S2 as well as several other topics. There's also plenty of discussion about Saturday's scoreless tie with FC Dallas, but sadly no questions. This week's music: "Star Blazers Theme", Perry Como - "Seattle", RVIVR - “The Tide”, Woody Guthrie - "Roll On Columbia" Thanks to James Woollard, Sounders Public Address Announcer, for doing our sponsor reads.

As it turned out, Jeremiah had a chance to interview Garth Lagerwey the same day our normal show was released. We are planning to release that full interview next week. But as the interview was wrapping up, we got word that Roman Torres' red card had been rescinded. Being that we already had Lagerwey on the record, it seemed like a good chance to get his thoughts on not only the successful appeal, but his thoughts on how VAR is currently being used.
