Podcasts about Liberation

The Salvation Army recently presented a document to their organization's employees and volunteers on racism, encouraging their organization to read Ibram Kendi and Robin DiAngelo. It implied tenets of Critical Race Theory and Critical Social Justice. A backlash forced them to remove it. But the organization is just another example of Christianity sliding toward a Social Justice Gospel and Liberation Theology.   Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com

During the height of the Cold War, passionate idealists across the US and Africa came together to fight for Black self-determination and the antiracist remaking of society. Beginning with the 1957 Ghanaian independence celebration, the optimism and challenges of African independence leaders were publicized to African Americans through community-based newspapers and Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Inspired by African independence--and frustrated with the slow pace of civil rights reforms in the US--a new generation of Black Power activists embarked on nonviolent direct action campaigns and built alternative institutions designed as spaces of freedom from racial subjugation. In Love for Liberation, Robin Hayes reveals how Black Power and African independence activists created a diaspora underground, characterized by collaboration and reciprocal empowerment. Together, they redefined racial discrimination as an international human rights issue requiring education, sustained collective action, and global solidarity--laying the groundwork for future transnational racial justice movements, such as Black Lives Matter. _______________________________________________   Produced by Maddie Gobbo, Lance Morgan, Natalie Freeman, & Michael Kowaleski.

Our guest is author Paula Morris, who joins us from Auckland to discuss the novel The Godwits Fly (1938) and the life of its author Iris Wilkinson AKA Robin Hyde. In recent years, Iris Wilkinson's writing has been rediscovered and restored to the canon of New Zealand literature, where it occupies a place alongside Katherine Mansfield's; The Godwits Fly is her highly autobiographical novel spanning the years 1910-28. Also this week, John has been captivated by Neurotribes, Steve Silberman's fascinating study of neurodiversity, while Andy revels in the forensic detail of Glenn Frankel's new book Shooting Midnight Cowboy: Art, Sex, Loneliness, Liberation, and the Making of a Dark Classic.

Jacoby Ballard (he/they) is a social justice educator, yoga teacher and author of the new book A Queer Dharma: Yoga and Meditations for Liberation.Jacoby defines Queer dharma as “a practice that interrogates systems of power and seeks liberation for all”. In our conversation, we talk about the intersections of yoga and capitalism and white supremacy and cultural appropriation while also returning to the wisdom of yoga - that the yoga practice as it was intended provides a visionary pathway forward to a liberated life. Jacoby invites us to be in a critical and courageous inquiry around how we resist the straight dharma that we have been fed by dominant culture and embrace the truth of our interdependence and collective wellbeing.

Harriet Congdon discusses the history and harm created by Ephesians 5:21-6:9, while suggesting various lenses for liberative interpretation. 

Kate Slater is a white, anti-racist scholar and educator in a time where America's racial reckoning and call for justice has been heard across the nation and the world. She leads facilitation's and training's for both students as well as private organizations, and her passion for this work is palpable. We've rarely spoken to someone so fired up, and we jump right into how she got into this field of work, and when she first realized the depths of systemic racism (and her role within it). She discusses the difference between being non-racist and anti-racist, white privilege, individualism versus collectivism, the gaps in the American education system that she's trying to fill, and the fear mongering of critical race theory. But this summary is just the tip of the iceberg, you'll have to listen to find out more about Kate's work, and how she manages to do this while eight and a half months pregnant and with a toddler at home!You can follow Kate Slater on IG & at her website--Thanks for listening and for your support!

Reimagining the education of Lakota youth is a key part of this future. In this episode, we listen in on a national press conference at the opening day of a new Lakota school, at the foot of a mountain once called Mt. Rushmore.

The fight around abortion access has once again made it to the U.S. Supreme Court. And around the country, abortion liberation activists are unpacking what a ruling overturning Roe v. Wade or rolling back access could mean for the landscape of abortion health care. On this episode of Speaking Freely, we are joined by Elicia Gonzales, executive director of the Abortion Liberation Fund of PA, formerly known as the Women's Medical Fund, and Lizbeth Rodriguez, community engagement coordinator for the Philadelphia Women's Centers. They discuss how restrictions are currently impacting their work, the need for funding and community support, how abortion restrictions are rooted in white supremacy, and how their organizations are adapting and preparing so that they can continue to fight for abortion liberation across Pennsylvania. This episode was hosted by Cambriae Lee, ACLU-PA marketing and brand manager, and Julie Zaebst, ACLU-PA senior policy advocate.

Coco Peila - "Pretty Girls (feat. Taj Mahal)," a 2021 single on JuixeGRL Records. With her latest single "Pretty Girls," Bay Area-based artist Coco Peila has elevated a movement to challenge beauty norms. As she expresses on her Facebook page, “It's an opportunity for us as Black women to have a heart to heart about what it's been like for all of us, and to challenge the ideas and perceptions in our own minds about what 'Pretty' is, WHY it is, and who currently or historically has access to it.” It also launched the "Pretty Heist" media campaign, which Peila describes as "a music video and interview series centered around Black Women's Liberation and the impacts of sexism, anti-black racism, white supremacy, and the beautification industry on Black Women & Girls' lives, perception of ourselves and others, sense of worth, perception of beauty and access to resources. The series spotlights women and girls, and provides information about how to support the work we are doing in the world and our communities." Learn more about the campaign at her Facebook page here.

The importance of land begins early in the biblical narrative in Eden. This is where heaven and earth overlap. Where God dwells and walks with his priests in the garden which is sacred space. Sacred space is the place were God and humanity dwell together. With Israel the promise land, the land of Israel, was sacred space. God's temple was there, and he dwelt with his people. The temple was the new place where heaven and earth overlapped. Israel was exiled for polluting the land with their false worship and God's presence left. In Jewish thought the land is essential to their eschatology and their theology. It would be crazy to think that God is a king with no country. What is Salvation? Our idea of what salvation is plays a lot into the land. In the west our view of salvation has been based on what we are saved from. We know we are saved from Hell, sin, death, and the Devil. But what are we saved for? Many Christians believe we are saved for heaven but is this true? We are saved for the redemption of creation to image God. The narrative begins with Eden and ends with Eden. What is the purpose of Heaven? Heaven is usually understood as a transcendent realm beyond time and space. Heaven is primarily characterized by fellowship with and worship of God. The final destiny of the faithful is conceived of as an unending worship service in God's immediate presence in another world. In the Bible we see heaven as God's throne room but also as the place where his rule and reign are perfect… Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven (Lord's Prayer). We see very few mentions of going to heaven in the Bible, but it has become a huge part of Christian theology. Redemption What is our future? Life after death is not the goal… life after life after death is! Rom 8:18-25. Liberation from decay and the redemption of our BODIES is the hope we are saved for. And Why? To be the image of God bodily on earth. Creation is longing for us to be redeemed so it can be redeemed too. Jesus speaks of the regeneration when he sits on his throne. To Jews this was when God would rule on earth again. (Matt 19:28) Acts 3:21 speaks also of the restoration of all things. Colossians 1:20 talks about all things reconciled in Christ. Eph 1:10 speaks of all things being summed up in Christ. In heaven and on earth. Heaven and earth is what is mentioned in Gen 1:1 for all of the cosmic creation so that is what Paul has in view of what is redeemed. God pronounces creation “very good” Gen 1:31. Our task is to steward that creation not to escape from it to heaven (escapism is platonic and gnostic thinking). Resurrection 1 Cor 15:44-55- spiritual body is not being disembodied but being imperishable. Phil 3:20- our body will be like his. Jesus was resurrected bodily. John 5:28-29 The dead in their graves will rise The importance of the resurrection is so that the image of God can be restored to its vocation perfectly when death is defeated. Our concentration in salvation is usually being saved from going to hell but we often leave the resurrection behind. Jesus died to defeat death. Death was the result of separation from God in the garden and that is what needs to be reversed. Why?... Image of God New Heavens and New Earth- What is our destination? Rev 21:1-7. Heaven comes to earth. Koinos (renewed) is used here. Isaiah 65:17-25- Consistent with the OT. The Jews didn't have a disembodied view of being human. They believe in God restoring his Eden mission. The meek will inherit the Earth!

Prepare to reach the deathless state! In this time of sudden death, it is of extreme importance to recognize the immortality of consciousness—before the body dies—so we can transcend the plane of mortality and be reborn as immortal, deathless Spirit. This is the secret of immortality that Shunyamurti reveals in this teaching, a precursor to our next 5-day retreat, Amrita Shakti: The Potent Path of Pure Delight. In this retreat, you will gain the capacity to free yourself from fear and ignorance, and enjoy the bliss of divine love and Liberation.

The Party for Socialism and Liberation joins with millions of people across the country in expressing our complete outrage at the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse on all charges. Once again, the U.S. court system has functioned to protect a racist murderer, who went out into the streets of Kenosha on August 25, 2020 to wage war on people protesting the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black man. The verdict is an infuriating reminder of the fundamentally white supremacist nature of the capitalist legal system in the United States. The acquittal of Rittenhouse has tremendously dangerous ramifications. It effectively hands a license to kill to right wing vigilantes, who will now feel even more empowered to terrorize people in the name of “law and order”. There is a long and deadly tradition of far right militia-type violence in the United States, and this threat has now been given a huge boost by the state. The kangaroo court presided over by Judge Bruce Schroeder was a disgrace, and greatly enhanced Rittenhouse's chances of acquittal by the nearly all-white jury. The process was rigged from the start, and grew more and more absurd with each passing day.

Basically this:We talk about reclaiming language, sovereignty, relationship with motherhood, community, culture, intergenerational relationships, childhood, ancestors, and unschooling among other key topics. In this episode you will hear about intentional living and parenting why's and what's in Te Reo Māori (Māori language) and also in English.The whole story...#fofcpod has teamed up with brilliant writer, nomad, and unschooling mama, Ieishah Clelland-Lang to co-produce this 4-part series centering fours Māori unschooling mothers' wisdom and invitation. They are all based in Aeotearoa (Māori name for what we know as New Zealand), in the South Pacific. You'll hear about these women's relationships with reclaiming (when necessary) and sustaining strong connections to their community and culture. Through these narratives we can all expand our perceptions of mothering and honor the different layers of motherwork.This week, in Part 1, you'll hear from Moana Reihana and Mea Rapata, in addition to hearing from Ieishah and Akilah. Over the next two episodes, you'll also hear from Angella Smith and Tina Talaić, as well as the energies that all 6 of us bring into the space through meaningful inquiry and real commitment to keep much of our culture alive and thriving beyond us.Three generations to regain a language - Unschooling and traditionMoana shares her experience and the reason why she learned her native language by herself as an adult. None of her family members were able to speak the language at that time, so they also started to regain this ancestral knowledge years later. This helped Moana to reclaim traditional knowledge that she wanted to share with her children and future generations. They also speak about the importance of language as a liberation tool and as a choice that offers connection and more ways to listen. How do we deal with newer generations and balance our ideas with tradition?Learning how to be a guestIeishah and Akilah talk about the importance of “witnessing” as a way of making space through observation, and being willing to stop and listen to others so that we can be the least intrusive when we are guests in someone else's space. Moana and Mea allow us to listen to their stories from vulnerable and authentic spaces by sharing their connection with nature, their ancestors, and themselves. They speak to a sense of belonging and invite us to think about what we are being instead of focusing on what we are doing.

Welcome to Season 3 of The Ethical Rainmaker a podcast that explores the world of inequity in nonprofits and philanthropy including where we should step into our power or step out of the way!

Langston Kahn is a Shamanic healer that supports people through what's called the Deep Liberation Process, a body-based approach that allows us to radically transform the range of fear-based stories we each hold in ourselves: from traumatic experiences, internalized oppression, and habitual emotional patterns rooted in old beliefs that hold us back from healing, transforming, and freeing our authenticity and unique genius.  Bridging the shamanic wisdom of ancient spirituality with the needs and demands of modern-day life, Kahn offers concrete skills to cultivate deep grounding, skillful boundaries, and a healthy energy body; methods for authentic shadow work and healing our triggers; and tools for effectively tending personal and collective well-being in community. Core themes explored in this episode: Community Defining deep liberation Establishing healthy boundaries Working with triggers Embodiment Calling in your ancestors and helping Spirits Rituals for processing grief Resources Mentionedhttps://amzn.to/2YWw1Sg (Read Deep Liberation by Langston Kahn) https://www.livefreelaurad.com/free-microdosing-course (Free 8-Day Microdosing Course) https://livefreelaurad.com/music-playlists (4 Music Playlists for Psychedelic Journey's & Beyond) Music to Move YouThis episode features a song called https://whiteswanrecords.bandcamp.com/track/sitting-in-a-circle-feat-ryan-dilmore ("Sitting in a Circle" )by Avasa & Matty Love, featuring Ryan Dilmore.

In the buddhist teachings, body, speech, and mind are referred to as the three gates of liberation  •  these three gates are connecting points, or portals, between you and the teachings of the Buddha: each gate opens out to the dharma, and each gate welcomes the dharma in  •  these three gates point to a holistic way of accessing the teachings and working with them  •  “body” refers to the physical form of our body, which provides a base for the teachings  •   if we are not grounded in our bodies, it's very hard to connect in a deep way with the teachings; they remain at a cerebral or conceptual level  •  “speech” refers not only to the spoken word, but also to the energetic side of things—the emotions and the energies of life  •  the buddhist teachings are an oral tradition, so spoken word is extremely important   •  the third gate, “mind,” is talked about as having three qualities: ordinary waking mind, the dream mind, and the unconscious mind  •  the teachings can come through all of these: through conceptual understanding, through dreams, and through direct nonconceptual awareness. 

"Liberation is only to remain aware of the Self." - Ramana Maharshi "I am not talking about Joy as the ultimate possibility in your life; I am talking about Joy as the 'A' of your life, not the 'Z' of your life." - Sadhguru "You have escaped the cage.  Your wings are stretched out.  Now fly." -Rumi Today's Practice:Freedom is staying aware of the Love you can feel in and AS this moment.  Not losing felt-oneness with It.  Not forgetting It.  Staying constantly, consciously aware of It.  Recognizing that when you're aware of this inner freedom, you are free of your self... of your ego.  You are being the invisible, boundless Freedom, not a person.  And because you are being Freedom, you'll watch that person be free.  You'll watch it be great.  I Love you, Nik 

Dr. Linwood Tauheed, associate professor of economics at the University of Missouri- Kansas City, joins us to discuss domestic politics. A record 4.4 million Americans quit their jobs in September as inflation skyrockets and investors turn to gold. Also, some businesses are taking advantage of inflation to increase profits.Mark Sleboda, Moscow-based international relations security analyst, joins us to discuss Eastern Europe. Despite absurd accusations of fueling the Belarusian border crisis, the Russian government is working to help resolve the issue. Also, NATO's aggressive military actions near Russia's border are fueling a potential crisis with the US client state of Ukraine. Finian Cunningham has written a piece in which he outlines a number of non-military options that the Eurasian power could choose to retaliate.Yolian Ogdu, member of the Black Alliance for Peace and Horn of Africa Pan-Africans for Liberation and Solidarity, joins us to discuss Ethiopia. There is significant speculation that the US empire pushed the TPLF to launch their latest attack in Ethiopia. It is believed that US/EU operatives are pushing this war to overthrow the democratically elected government of Abiy Ahmed.Dan Lazare, author and investigative journalist and author of "America's Undeclared War," joins us to discuss President Biden and Vice President Harris's polling data. President Biden's infrastructure bill success seems to have done little to counteract the inflation crisis as his approval ratings continue on a swift downward trajectory. Also, Vice President Kamala Harris continues to burden the administration with historically low approval ratings.Laith Marouf, broadcaster and journalist based in Beirut, joins us to discuss the Middle East. A US airstrike in Syria is creating a considerable buzz as information surfaces that the military worked to cover up the deaths of over 60 women and children at their hands. Also, Houthi fighters are enjoying more success as the critical port city of Hodeida falls under their control. John Burris, civil rights attorney, joins us to discuss the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. Nerves are on edge, and the National Guard stands by for possible unrest in Minnesota as closing arguments of the case are made.K. J. Noh, peace activist, writer, and teacher, joins us to discuss China. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken recently spoke with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in anticipation of a scheduled virtual meeting between the leaders of the two world powers. Also, China has some interesting options for addressing climate change that may be valuable for Western powers to consider joining or imitating.Margaret Kimberly, editor and senior columnist at Black Agenda Report, joins us to discuss Cuba. The latest ham-handed US regime change plan for Cuba is scheduled to commence today, as CIA-sponsored protests have been pushed by deep state operatives in the tech giants of social media.

The Connected Yoga Teacher Podcast 246: Anger, Forgiveness & Self-Care with Jacoby Ballard   Description: Anger is a very human emotion that almost all of us experience, but society often encourages us to suppress it.

In this episode, Jacoby Ballard shares more about how anger, forgiveness, and self-care tie in together.   Jacoby Ballard is a social justice educator and yoga teacher with 20 year of experience.

Jacoby is also the author of a new book, A Queer Dharma: Yoga and Meditations for Liberation, released in 2021.   When we feel anger, we may think it is out of line with being ‘yogic'. Jacoby addresses this perception and explains how we can begin to understand and process the anger that we may feel.

And if we can't get there, then we can't heal, we can't get to the other side."   "Having the daily practices allows me to be grounded in myself, remember my commitment, remember my purpose, and then turn back towards whatever is calling my attention on a given day."   "I must create boundaries that protect me from internalizing harm while practicing compassion that allows me to remain sensitive to suffering around the world."   "Anger tells us, pay attention! Anger gives us the energy to do something, for something precious is being killed, injured, threatened, tarnished, taken, abused, polluted, appropriated or harmed."   "Working with feedback, inviting feedback and working with it really conscientiously is so important in so many yoga dharma spaces."

Shunyamurti offers a koan on consciousness and the logic of the transcendence of worlds; reading again from The Supreme Source, this class reminds us to let go of the mind, let go of all methods, to let go of the desire for Liberation, and ultimately to let go of the you who thinks there's anything to let go of--and just be in your natural state (before you had an ego).   This is an excerpt from a longer teaching posted on our Members Section.  Sign up for your free 10-day trial: https://bit.ly/3oqFcCe

Eckhart leads a meditation and then answers questions from a live audience. He says the most important thing to achieve in our lifetime is stillness because without it we feel frustrated, angry and discontent. He says stillness is the answer that brings the sense of aliveness we feel when we're free of thought.
