Consider the following show an acknowledgment – of people. For the foundations of 400 years of New York City history were built upon the homeland of the Lenni-Lenape, the tribal stewards of a vast natural area stretching from eastern Pennsylvania to western Long Island. The Lenape were among the first in northeast North America to be displaced by white colonists -- the Dutch and the English. By the late 18th century, their way of life had practically vanished upon the island which would be known by some distorted vestige of a name they themselves may have given it – Manahatta, Manahahtáanung or Manhattan.But the Lenape did not disappear. Through generations of great hardship, they have persevered.In today's show, we'll be joined by two guests who are working to keep Lenape culture and language alive throughout the United States, including here on the streets of New York-- Joe Baker, enrolled member of the Delaware Tribe of Indians and a co-founder of the Lenape Center, an organization creating and presenting Lenape art, exhibitions and education in New York. -- Ross Perlin, linguist and author of Language City: The Fight to Preserve Endangered Mother Tongues in New York
For nearly 30 years, a statue of the Lenni-Lenape leader Chief Tamanend has stood at a busy intersection in Old City, next to the on-ramp to I-95 South. Now, a plan to move the monument to a more accessible location has stalled after one Indigenous group equated it with “forced removal.” Host Trenae Nuri talks with Frank Kummer, reporter at The Philadelphia Inquirer, about the conflict over relocating the statue and why historical monuments continually spark controversy in our city. Read Frank's reporting here. For more on the William Penn statue removal reversal, check out this link. Want some more Philly news? Then make sure to sign up for our morning newsletter Hey Philly.

Dr. William Woys Weaver is an internationally known food historian and author of 22 books including: Heirloom Vegetable Gardening: A Master Gardener's Guide to Planting Seed Saving, and Cultural History; 100 Vegetables and Where They Came From, and As American As Shoofly Pie: The Foodlore and Fakelore of Pennsylvania Dutch Cuisine Dr. Weaver lives in the 1805 Lamb Tavern in Devon, Pennsylvania where he maintains a jardin potager in the style of the 1830s featuring over 5,000 varieties of heirloom vegetables, flowers, and herbs. He is an organic gardener, a life member of Seed Savers Exchange, and for many years served as a Contributing Editor to Gourmet, Mother Earth News, and The Heirloom Gardener. From 2002 to 2010, he lectured on Food Studies at Drexel University and is presently lecturing on regional American cuisine in connection with a non-profit academic research institute organized under the name The Roughwood Center for Heritage Seedways. Dr. Weaver received his doctorate in food ethnography at University College Dublin, Ireland, the first doctorate awarded by the University in that field of study. In the winter of 2013, Owen had just moved to Philadelphia. A friend introduced him to Dr. Weaver and he hired him to care for his gardens and the Roughwood Seed Collection. During his four years working with him, Owen was fascinated by slow walks through the garden where he could reveal 10,000 years of human history in each plant story. It was here that Owen first learned how to carefully select and midwife the seeds of these countless storied species. We started a seed catalog and grew for a couple other companies. Dr. Weaver's work with seeds often connects and reconnects gardeners and farmers with seeds that help tell their own stories. One of the best examples is making the Horace Pippin peppers available to African American growers in the Mid-Atlantic, as well as Pennsylvania Dutch and Lenni Lenape heirlooms from Southeastern Pennsylvania.

If you've been in this field for even a couple of hours or so, you have almost certainly had someone try to impress upon you the importance of self-care. Not usually in the context of your self being valued for its own sake, but self-care that enables you to show up effectively for your clients.On the face of it, there's not much to disagree with there. Yes, when we are adequately cared for, we are better equipped to show up and care for our clients.And yet, we've been taught that our self-care, and by extension our need for care, should be invisible to our clients. The tenet that if we are doing self-care right, it will be invisible, can contribute to the sense we often have that critical elements that comprise our humanity are a secret that we must keep away from our clients.The belief that exposure to our fallibility will harm our clients is so interwoven into the substrate of this field that we rarely think to ask the question, what are the harms we are doing by hiding our fallibility? What opportunities for connection with our clients are being lost when we perform what today's guests describe as a “constructed state of perpetual well-being?”Onyx Fujii (they/them) is queer, non-binary, chronically ill, culturally Jewish, mixed-race clinical social worker in private practice in Philadephia (on unceded Lenni-Lenape land). Healing justice is at the core of their multidisciplinary practice where they offer trauma-informed, anti-oppressive psychotherapy, clinical supervision, and cultural humility facilitation and consultation; focusing on the intersections of gender, sexual orientation, race, chronic illness, and disability. In 2021, they became a co-founder and co-director of the Kintsugi Therapist Collective, a virtual community of care workers dedicated to embodied and liberatory visions of care. Their professional practices and writing center on the significance of identity, trauma, (in)visibility, and connection. They are committed to sustaining a social justice-orientated business that aims to empower and liberate through compassion and understanding.Asher Pandjiris (they/they) believes that everyone deserves to be supported in dealing with their own legacies of trauma and psychic suffering so that we can more easefully navigate this neoliberal/capitalist/deeply racist, transphobic and ableist heteropatriarchy that is traumatic for everyone, especially folks who are highly sensitive and/or navigate multisystemic oppression. The programs and workshops they offer are aimed at supporting folks in these challenges. They love hosting the Living in this Queer Body podcast and facilitating programs on topics that they feel deeply passionate about. Listen to the full episode to hear: How performing professionalism and well-being contributes to burnout, especially for marginalized and chronically ill therapists How acknowledging their physical and mental needs has actually created points of connection for Onyx and their clients Why Asher allows themself to “fail” their clients by showing up imperfectly How honesty and transparency can actually improve the reparative client-therapist relationship Why therapists may be uniquely expected not to need the same kinds of care as their clients Learn more about Onyx Fujii and Asher Pandjiris and Kintsugi Therapist Collective: Kintsugi Therapist Collective Instagram: @kintsugitherapistcollective Learn more about Riva Stoudt: Into the Woods Counseling Instagram Resources:We Need Not Be Fine: A manifesto for mental healthcare workers who can't go on like this

During the colonial era and early federal period, many were removed west and north, but some also remain among the continuing historical tribal communities of the region: The Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Tribal Nation; the Ramapough Lenape Nation; and the Powhatan Renape Nation, The Nanticoke of Millsboro Delaware, and the Lenape of Cheswold Delaware. We acknowledge the Lenni-Lenape as the original people of this land and their continuing relationship with their territory. In our acknowledgment of the continued presence of Lenape people in their homeland, we affirm the aspiration of the great Lenape Chief Tamanend, that there be harmony between the indigenous people of this land and the descendants of the immigrants to this land, “as long as the rivers and creeks flow, and the sun, moon, and stars shine."

This episode features a conversation with two practitioners:Elisheva Rose Khalfin Elbaz, MSc, BCST, PLC, PPNE, PPNP (they/them): "My personal experience with pregnancy loss in my early twenties and my family lineages of healing practice inspired me to do this work. I started my practice in 2011, and I am a somatics practitioner, craniosacral therapist, full-spectrum doula, and facilitator. I am also a student of traditional Yehudi/Ivri healing practices. I work with parents, babies, and adults, healing trauma related to the perinatal period (preconception through postpartum) and childhood, intergenerational patterns, and supporting teens and adults in exploring gender and sexual identity. My academic background is in Narrative Medicine, and I used to teach clinical relational skills to medical students. I am Yehudi/Ivri and white European, with a mixed class background. I'm trans, queer, and neurodivergent. Witnessing the grave lack of embodied anti-racist education in perinatal psychology trainings, inspired me to co-create this project. I currently live on Lenni-Lenape land, in West Philadelphia, and grew up on Duwamish land, in Seattle, WA." See more about them at: elishevaelbaz.com Shanna M. Williams, LCSW, MEd, PMH-C (she/her) "My personal and professional experiences as an African American woman dealing with motherhood, mental health, trauma and resilience led me to develop my own business, S.W. Doula, in 2017. As the owner and lead practitioner, I provide integrative Perinatal wellness services, Lactation care, Clinical counseling and Professional consultation services to those at increased risk of negative emotional & physical health outcomes during pregnancy and the postpartum period. I also serve as an Adjunct Professor of Social work at Widener University, where I teach classes in Generalist Social Work Practice, Trauma Therapy and Family Therapy. Over the last 20 years or so, I have developed my experience in the fields of birthwork, sexuality education and counseling, diversity education, case management and psychotherapy. I am also a PhD Candidate at Widener University's Center for Social Work Education, where my research focuses on Black women, Maternal-infant health outcomes, pregnancy after loss and the impact of historical trauma.

Onyx Fujii's contribution arrives by way of the Kintsugi Therapist Collective (co-founded with CWH guest Asher Pandjiris), and I'm in awe of what they have created: a virtual community offering “embodied care, support, wisdom, and resources to trans and non-binary, BIPOC, chronically ill, and disabled mental health providers.” One of this conversation's “off-camera” revelations is that Onyx joined me from their bed. It's a small win for Onyx, allowing them to honor the day's physical and mental limits. While Covid exposed cracks in overburdened systems, societal acknowledgment of our vulnerability (and interdependence) remains non-existent. Even in a field supposedly aligned with self-care, productivity remains paramount. GUEST BIO Onyx Fujii, LCSW, is a queer, non-binary, chronically ill, mixed-race licensed clinical social worker. They are a home-owner and multiple small businesses owner, living and working on unceded Lenni Lenape land, colonially known as Philadelphia, PA. They are a trauma-informed psychotherapist, a clinical supervisor, an intersectionality-focused cultural humility consultant, and the co-director of the Kintsugi Therapist Collective, LLC.

Suzie Hicks “Climate Chick” creates climate-focused media and education and is an absolute force of an advocate. You absolutely have to hear from Suzie– especially if you are someone with varied interests and feeling like you don't know how they could possibly all fit together. They can! Suzie felt pulled to fight climate change in a big way. Now she is at Columbia studying climate science, as well as being fully invested in media, entertainment, and education for climate awareness and environmental justice. In undergrad, Suzie created an entire arts festival focused on mental health, she has worked at NPR, done an internship with the New England Aquarium doing presentations for thousands, created a CollegeHumor-esque show about sustainability for her university, and recently wrote a children's book….she seems to create wherever she goes, going above and beyond expectations. Suzie currently works with PBS as well, and I am a bit obsessed with what she did in California to connect PBS with the LA region's schools to help kids throughout the pandemic. Incredible examples of identifying a need, pivoting, and fully diving in to help to the best of your abilities. Be inspired by hearing from Suzie, both in this story and throughout the episode! Suzie loves getting people involved who thought they didn't have a voice– “because they actually do”. And, she stresses, “science is really cool, and it can change the world”. I mean, how has one 20-something done ALL of this and more already? **If you enjoyed this episode, please do follow/subscribe and share on social, YouTube, and your favorite podcast platform!** Website: www.katecherichello.com/bethegood Apple podcasts: Be The Good with Kate Cherichello Because we need all the good news we can get.

Last week, for the first episode of 2022, I shared my personal experience with Covid. On this week's episode, I reflect on this past year, thanking my guests from 2021 and acknowledging that 2022 marks the beginning of our 5th year of the podcast. In the year 2021, we had a total of 19 guests, plus 2 tributes to dear friends, previous guests who died this year: re-releasing my conversations with Peter Fish and Tony Falco. We recorded 12 of our 19 guests via Zoom, with only 7 being able to be here in person. This past year, I shared 24 stories or guided meditations. I told personal stories, reflected on “whiteness”, communed with angels, and deepened my reverence for mystics and mystery. I became more curious to actively learn more about the Native people of where I live - the Lenni Lenape people. I dropped into more intimacy with nature and welcomed the everyday miracles that surround us. I hope that my guests and stories this past year have helped to uplift and inspire you along your journey. Thank you, 2021 for another year of inspiring guests, personal reflections, stories and meditations. May we all practice restoring humanity, dignity, compassion, and justice. May you be safe and healthy, and join me in searching for the mysterious, wondrous ways the Universe is conspiring to support us in 2022. Enjoy the podcast.
Anastasia (Onyx) Fujii is a queer, non-binary, chronically ill, mixed-race clinical social worker; living and practicing trauma-informed psychotherapy in Philadelphia, PA (on Lenni-Lenape land). They are a cultural humility consultant and group facilitator, as well as a lifelong East Coaster, a Cancer, a writer, and a parent. Onyx's professional practices and writing center the intersections of identity, trauma, (in)visibility, and connection. Kintsugi Therapist Collective (KTC) is a virtual community offering embodied care, support, wisdom, and resources to trans and non-binary, BIPOC, chronically ill, and disabled mental health providers. We aim to help other similarly situated clinicians build gainful income streams that do not rely on the same level of constantly reliable physical, mental, and emotional presence that is embedded in extractive business models and clinical training programs. We believe our private practices, in collaboration with the support of the Collective, can provide stability for our complicated bodies, not only existing for everyone else at the detriment of our wellbeing. For more info find us here: www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com and @kintsugitherapistcollective LITQB Podcast: This is a podcast about the barriers to embodiment and how our collective body stories can bring us back to ourselves. This is a podcast for people who identify as queer or for people who might think of their relationship between their body and confining social narratives as queer. This can feel like an isolating experience. Our wounded bodies need spaces to talk about struggles with nourishment/disordered eating, body image issues, dysphoria, racism, heterosexism, transphobia, xenophobia, substance use/abuse, chronic pain/disability, body changes in parenthood, intergenerational trauma, the medical/wellness/therapy industrial complex and its lack of inclusion of queer bodies and much more. Hopefully this podcast can illustrate the connections, and resonant pain points, that we have with one another.

On this week's episode, I share a simple ritual we created this Thanksgiving, inspired by Robin Wall Kimmerer's book “Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teaching of Plants”. My desire was to honor the Lenni Lenape people who's land we live on, to honor Mother Earth and to acknowledge what Debra Beal, my guest from last week uncovered for me about the origins of Thanksgiving from the indigenous perspective. She said that the original Thanksgiving feast was a celebration by the colonizers once they had massacred a substantial number of Indians. I wanted to take that information and incorporate it into the way my family celebrates Thanksgiving. I think it is critical to be aware and conscious of our history and do what I can to weave it into how we celebrate this holiday. The 12 of us gathered in my home, took turns reading the Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address. This translation of the Mohawk version of the Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address was developed and published in 1993, and provided courtesy of Six Nations Indian Museum and the Tracking Project. May we bring this depth of gratitude for the natural world not just once a year on Thanksgiving, but every day as we cultivate an attitude of gratitude. Blessings, love and deep gratitude.

I can't emphasize enough how wonderful this resource is, and in this episode, I tell you a bit about WAMS, but also highlight three women that struck me as incredibly interesting: Weetamoo, a sachem in the Wampanoag confederacy, Sarah Roelfs Kierstede van Borsum, a Dutch woman who served as Lenni Lenape interpreter, and Sybilla Masters, the first person to have a patent in the English colonies.

Welcome to Everyday Nonordinary The Podcast! I'm your host, Jenny Weinar. I'm a psychotherapist and general enthusiast for the role of psychedelics in the process of healing ourselves, our relationships, and the planet. In this quick introductory episode I'm sharing my hope and intention for the podcast as a space to highlight the diversity and breadth of psychedelic experiences, as well as conversations with other movers, shakers, thinkers and feelers in the psychedelic space around integrating the wisdom from nonordinary states of consciousness into our everyday lives. You can connect with me on Instagram and Twitter, *however* I'm actually trying to transition away from social media a bit (not entirely) - so your best bet is to sign up for my newsletter where I'll share occasional reflections and updates on services I'm offering.

In honor of Indigenous People Day, I share a synchronistic story that unfolded for me this past week. From the invitation of a wonderful shaman, Reda Rackley, I looked up the Native People of the land where I live. How wonderful to know the name Lenni Lenape, the peace-keeping “ancient ones”, the diplomats and mediators, who lived throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey and southern New York. I highly recommend photographer, Lisa Levart's stunning exhibit at Bergen Community College, called “Women of the Ramapough Lenape Nation”. I am deeply moved by what Lisa created: a visual, visceral, soulful way to be in the presence of these inspiring Lenape people. Lisa's portraits and her husband Myles Aronowitz's video footage capturing Lisa in her creative process with the Lenape women is exquisite! I am so grateful to bring consciousness to the Lenape, the name of the people who lived, worked, played and partnered with this land before me. I invite you to discover and connect with the Native People of the area where you live. Know them by name as we honor all the sacrifices, wisdom, and gifts our indigenous people have to offer us. Check out the show notes for links to learn more about the Lenape, see the details of Lisa's stunning exhibit at Bergen Community College, which will be there through November 24th.

Our show today comes in one part. Poet tessa micaela reads an extended excerpt from their book of poetry entitled where bells begin. tessa and I collaborated on this audio treatment of their poem. After conversing then recording tessa reading, I collected sounds, mostly in wild parts of South Africa and in the town of Waterval Boven in Mpumalanga province. I mixed these sounds with tessa's reading. You will hear a variety of birds and other wild and domesticated animals. where bells begin immerses the reader and listener into a world that is both foreign and familiar. The main character, who simply goes by the single letter, O, walks through this world, interacts with it, is ignored by it, and endures in it. The only piece of music in this audio treatment is the bass track of Christoffer Moe Ditlevsen's song Never Forget. The episode ends with the track Dreamaway by Dreem and is available on Epidemicmusic.com For the best experience, I suggest you use headphones or ear buds as you listen to this audio treatment of tessa micaela's where bells begin. Tessa Micaela is the author of where bells begin (Rescue Press, November 2019), there are boxes and there is wanting (Trembling Pillow Press, 2016), and the chapbook Crude Matter (ypolita press, 2016). Tessa writes poems, essays and letters, some of which have appeared in jubilat, ELDERLY, Make/shift, and Dusie. Tessa was born and raised on the Lenni-Lenape land of Philadelphia, and resides on the unceded Abenaki land of central Vermont. Tessa is a midwife, a clinical and community herbalist, care-worker and educator. More information can be found at tessamicaela.com and moonrootmedicinals.com.

After nearly 18-months of virtual gatherings, the Presbytery of Philadelphia convened once again for an in-person Stated Meeting at the beautiful Kirkwood Camp and Retreat Center in the Poconos. God's Spirit moved in and through the over 150 people who safely gathered for worship and work on this hot Saturday in July. As we leaned into the meeting, we began with a video montage to remember how these sacred grounds served countless children, youth, and adults in their spiritual formation for over 60 years. We then paused to honor the indigenous Lenni Lenape peoples, to whom this land belonged long before Presbyterians set foot in the region. While this marked the end of an era for our Presbytery's ministry at Kirkwood, as the camp is presently up for sale, the Stated Meeting was also an opportunity to reaffirm our identity and celebrate in the midst of the grief and loss. There were many reasons to rejoice at this Stated Meeting. What follows are the uncut reports from both our Moderator, Rev. Ashley Rossi, and our Executive Presbyter, Rev. Ruth Faith Santana-Grace and the profound and faithful word delivered by our guest Preacher, Rev. Dr. David Davis, who serves as the pastor of Nassau Presbyterian Church in Princeton, NJ. Music as performed and led by Dan Myers, Praise and Worship Director at the First Presbyterian Church of Ambler.

In today's episode Melissa and Sue explore avenues for reengaging our inherent relationship with nature. The conversation dances with the inquiry of what it may look like to expand the commonly held definition of western science to include other evidence-based forms of wisdom, and what arises within when beginning to break out of traditional constructs of thinking and teaching. Through opening up to wonder and play, fostering trust in self and Nature, and reframing failure as an opportunity, we can explore new pathways to engaging with the mysteries of this world. Show Notes: Melissa's “Who are you Haiku” Somewhere beyond rain sun and moon faces beaming violets dream sweet Sue's “Who are you Haiku”: This earthen vessel holds infinite connection to all creation.

Join us for a deep dive into the powerful world of ancestral remembering with rosemary. Our guests for this episode are Community Herbalist and Intuitive Healer Vanessa Radman and Community Herbalist and Wisdom Weaver Rose Rothfeder. Together we share powerful and tender stories about how this plant has helped us remember how to be human in these bodies in these times. It's a beautiful and vital discussion, just like Rosemary. Also big thanks to our guest stars short story contributors Community Herbalist and Herbal Farmer Bonnie Rose Weaver and Dear Friend and Beautiful Human Anna Frattolillo! Here are some of the land rematriation links we mentioned at the top of the show. I really encourage folks to connect with a land back and/or land rematriation effort in your area. Making a monetary gift is a powerful way to begin reweaving a good relationship with the land and the people who have tended it for time immemorial. It's a beautiful practice to do while we are also healing our relationships with our own lineages. Here are some ways to do that: The Sogorea Te' Land Trust - based in Ohlone land (colonially known as the bay area) https://sogoreate-landtrust.org/shuumi-land-tax/ The Apache Stronghold - based in Apache land (colonially known as arizona) http://apache-stronghold.com/about-us.html The Manna-hatta Fund - based in Lenni Lenape land (colonially known as new york) https://mannahattafund.org/ If you want to check out Vanessa's upcoming ancestral healing workshop (which is going to be amazing!), you can do that here: https://scarletsage.com/collections/classes/products/connecting-with-ancestral-guidance-for-personal-and-collective-healing-with-vanessa-radman-september-29th-6-8pm-pt If you want to submit a short 1 - 3 minute story for the next episode on Chamomile, you can do that here!

Grace Aheron (she/her) is an Asian-American queer femme Southerner, seminary drop-out, and community organizer in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (traditional Lenni Lenape territory). In this episode, Aheron praises the American Basswood that stood tall over the white supremacist takeover of Charlottesville, Virginia. In Geez 57, we give space for trees to hold our weary beings. In this time of great uncertainty and change, the trees keep finding us here – wherever we may be.
In this episode we talk about the infamous Jersey Devil. Reports go back to 1735, but as we discovered, the Lenni Lenape tribe in the area may have already been familiar with this cryptid long before Mother Leeds gave birth to her cursed 13th child. Hear about some of the sightings and even the fact that the Jersey Devil may have friends that he hangs out with at the shore (we are not even kidding). So take a trip with us down Route 9 through the Pine Barrens and keep your eyes peeled....just make sure you don't stop.

Phil and Jessica Allen venture to the fabled “Shades of Death” road in New Jersey. Is it really as scary as they say? They also take a “treacherous” hike through Jenny Jump State Park to Ghost Lake and Fairy Cave. This episode is dedicated to the Lenni Lenape.
Every camp is special, but not every camp can boast the former quarterback for the Miami Dolphins as camp director! Longtime NFL signal caller Jay Fiedler joins Micah and Sara to talk about leading Brookwood Camps in upstate NY and his summers growing up at Lenni Lenape, as well as the similarities and differences between a season in the NFL and a summer at camp.
“The Rainbow Crow” is a Native American nature myth from the Lenni Lenape tribe of New Jersey. It's quite unusual for a nature myth in that it simultaneously explains the origins of four phenomena: fire, the rainbow, the crow's black feathers, and the crow's croaky voice. It bears striking similarities to the Zuni story that we call “Coyote and Eagle”, as well as to the Greek myth of Prometheus. We thought it would be an appropriate offering for the winter solstice, since it also deals with the first time the animals had seen snow. That's rather hard to imagine, since they were living in the Northeast, but there's a first time for everything. We come to you from a place where we probably won't have to worry about snow this holiday season: Florida. We'll be here through the end of January, and our tour will include a performance in Miami. If you decide to fly south for the winter, or you're already down here, swing on by! Happy Listening! Dennis (Narrator, Owl, Great Spirit) and Kimberly (Crow, Coyote, Turtle and generic critter)
