slave,A power exchange can be playful, but it can also be a serious practice with rules, rituals, and real follow-through. I, Chastity Queen firmly lay out what devotion looks like when service is the point: preparation, presentation, and consistent obedience. From specific wardrobe tasks to expectations around gifting and tribute, the message is clear: if you want attention, you earn it through action.I also unpack the deeper “why” behind submission. What does it mean to be noticed by a dominant/Me, to make someone else the priority, and to build identity through daily rituals? You'll hear a strong framework for service submission and dominance and submission dynamics, including the idea that boundaries are pushed through discipline and repetition. Chastity and denial show up as core themes, framed as a method of control, focus, and commitment rather than a casual experiment.The episode closes with community and momentum: how to connect, where to share photos, what events are being planned through the Crown and Cage Society, and how listeners can support the show's growth. If you're interested in BDSM mindset, chastity kink culture, and the structure behind long-term power exchange, there's plenty here to think about, whether you're experienced or just learning the language.Subscribe for more, share the episode with someone who's curious, and leave a review to help more listeners find the show.

Join the conversation by letting us know what you think about the episode!We're starting a new, periodic series on the show about envisioning matriarchy. This episode is such a great way to start this series. Our guest this week, Sam Cross, literally wrote a book about it - Manifesting Matriarcy. In this episode, we talk about what matriarchy really is, how it can show up now in our daily lives, and what we can do to help bring it about for all of us. Sam Cross is a spiritual teacher and artist. She channels the information she receives through her creative work, and she also helps other purpose-based creatives channel their work. As she sees it, "creativity" is the divine light we can all access. Sam's work centers around gender, purpose, soul embodiment, and understanding what we're really talking about when we use words like "divine feminine" and "matriarchy."Where to find Sam Cross:Instagram: @crosssamTikTok: @cross.samBooks: The Art of Being Light, my handwritten illustrated memoir (2025, digital and on Amazon) AND   Manifesting Matriarchy, another handwritten journey (2026, digital)Course: The Grounded CreatorPodcast: Let's Get MetaphysicalSubstack: QueeritualitySupport the showBe part of the conversation by sharing your thoughts about this episode, what you may have learned, how the conversation affected you.

Send us Fan MailNobody hands boys a blueprint for fatherhood. In this episode, we unpack why the father role is one of the most under examined forces in psychology, and how it quietly sets a child's self-worth, nervous system and sense of what is safe to allow into their life. We look at the patriarchal scripts fathers inherited and passed down, the myth that dad exists to balance out mom's emotion, and why so many men arrive in their thirties having never once pictured themselves as a parent.This is not a man bashing session. It is a call to the dads, the future dads, the uncles and the men who never had a father figure of their own. We break down the words that actually define the role: encouragement, play, leadership, attunement, reliability and safety. We share stories from the therapy room about direct and indirect harm, the gymnastics dad who got it right, and one gamified daily practice that costs nothing and changes the trajectory of a family.Here's a related episode that builds on today's conversation: #459 | What Your Family System Role Says About You - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/evolve-ventures/id1511831621?i=1000740185898Bianca mentions this episode early in the conversation:#507 | Breaking Down Patriarchy, Matriarchy, And Our Role Within It - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/evolve-ventures/id1511831621?i=1000769445396Learn more about:

Matria means "mother" and -archy means "rule, government, power over." Not exactly what I had in mind when praying for a new matriarchal era. Today on The Sage & The Song I share how Perdita Finn's article (linked below) sparked a re-examination on the concept of matriarchy and why a prayer to honor the Great Mother is at the center of my Rose & Sword curriculum... and my life.

Within each of us, resides a good-girl who was made to feel unsafe in herself and her body. Slowly that story became part of her narrative and made to feel like she wasn't worthy of being loved. And that messaging carried on in her adult body. Without realising it, she no longer trusts herself or her voice. But how do we clear this?In this episode, I sat down with a special friend of mine and sister, Beth Clayton who is a powerhouse for women healing trauma through the body. Beth is a Somatic Mentor & Threshold Guide. She guides world-shaking women in becoming the one their dream requires. In this episode we explore: 

Send us Fan MailThis is your cosmic energy report for July 13, 2026.

A door, a knock, the click of tall boots on the floor, and the moment you realise the rules have changed. We invite you into Chastity Queen's sacred space through a guided, trance-like ritual that blends relaxation, erotic audio storytelling, and the psychology of power exchange. If you're drawn to femdom energy, chastity themes, or structured submission, the journey is built to feel immersive, slow, and intentional.We move from breath and calm into clear protocol: entering with lowered eyes, stripping down except for the chastity cage, kneeling in position, and accepting the collar and leash as a symbol of belonging. The experience emphasizes silence, permission, and obedience, not as chaos, but as a container that lets your mind unclench. As the ritual deepens, we explore why structure can feel like relief, how surrender can take weight off your shoulders, and why devotion is measured through follow-through.A turning point arrives with the tribute envelope: written honour, worship offering, and the keys themselves. From there, the scene becomes richly sensory, with candles, vanilla and cinnamon, and a voice meant to resonate through your whole body. The narrative widens into a “highest sacred chamber,” where purpose matters more than prediction, and where the plan is chosen to please the queen.If this episode helps you drop into calm, reflect on what parts of ritual and control speak to you most.

In this episode, guests Pixie Lighthorse and Joquina M. Reed discuss their new endeavor: The 250 Project: A Black and Indigenous Reckoning. They share about their new project and why they decided to create a counter-archive and anthology project in response to the United States' 250th anniversary. We also discuss Matriarchy through a Black and Indigenous lens and how one of our first and ongoing steps in establishing a matriarchal culture must be the continued dismantling of anti-Blackness in ourselves and our systems. 

We've waited a long time for this one!  In today's episode, we talk with Dr. Marianne Moen.  Dr. Moen is an archaeologist best known for her work on gender, identity, and power in the Viking Age.  Her scholarship utilizes archaeology, feminist theory and mortuary studies, offering a reinterpretation of Norse societies and the role of women within them.  We discuss how earlier generations of archaeologists, influenced by gender norms in their own eras, often interpreted evidence in ways that minimized women's authority and agency, distorting or erasing the reality of the accomplishments of women of the past.That's ground zero for the issues that we champion on this podcast. Make Matriarchy Great Again listeners will truly enjoy this!Sean Marlon Newcombe and Dawn "Sam" Alden co-host.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of CosmicRX Radio, we sit down with The Pop Astrologist Tasha Beg to discuss the astrology of the World Cup! They break down the historical astrological alignments currently shifting our planetary frequencies—including the legendary Barbault basket alignment—and explain why underdogs are dismantling historical structures of power right in front of our eyes.Tasha Beg is an evolutionary astrologer, intuitive storyteller, and pop culture pundit. A graduate of Wellesley College with a degree in Economics and Middle Eastern Studies, Tasha spent nearly a decade in finance, eventually rising to Vice President of Institutional Sales. However, a profound personal awakening during her Saturn Return led her to leave the corporate world in 2022 to fully dedicate her life to the sacred language of the cosmos. When she isn't analyzing soul plans for clients, she moonlights as "The Pop Astrologist," analyzing celebrity culture and forecasting cosmic weather through her weekly Substack newsletter. 

A single daily ritual can tell the truth about your devotion faster than any message ever will. The focus stays on the small actions that actually build obedience: a consistent routine, a physical reminder of hierarchy, and simple words of gratitude that reinforce who you are when you submit. Whether you're exploring BDSM audio for the first time or you already live for ritual, this is a direct reminder that devotion is something you do, not something you claim.If you like this kind of guided femdom and chastity mindset content, subscribe, share the episode with someone who values discipline, and leave a review so more listeners can find it.

My mother died on June 11th, five years ago. This is the episode I recorded right after she passed. It's episode 300, and it's dedicated to her. What I didn't expect was what her last six months would teach me. About the matriarchy. About worthiness. About the hypermasculine drive that so many of us — myself very much included — run on until we can't anymore. And about what happens when you finally let yourself receive love instead of earn it. If you still have your mother here, you will want to call her after this one. In this episode: The real history of the matriarchy — and why it matters that it existed before the patriarchy How watching a parent die dismantles the story you've been living What hypermasculine burnout actually looks like from the inside What her last six months looked like — and why she was happier than she'd been in decades What "being enough" feels like when someone you love shows you it's true Timestamps: 00:00 — Dedication and why this episode exists 02:44 — The matriarchy: history, power, and what we lost 05:05 — Who my mother was 09:53 — What her life became my cautionary tale 12:16 — The hypermasculine drive and the burnout 14:37 — Her last six months and the miracle in them 17:05 — The room where she died 20:36 — What the matriarchy is asking of us now Links and Resources: Episode 3 with Kelly Knight on the Age of Aquarius: [link to episode 3] Free podcast strategy call: https://allisonhare.com/freecall Be sure to rate, review, and follow this podcast on your player and also, connect with me IRL for more goodness and life-changing stuff.Schedule a FREE podcast clarity call with me - Your future audience is out there.

Earlier this month, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) was renamed Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) as a result of an international effort to help physicians better understand the condition. Indeed, sufferers may not have any ovarian cysts, and PMOS affects the entire body. Physicians stress that the “metabolic” is the most central portion of the condition, and the new name better reflects this. In celebration of this, we are resharing a BABM episode recorded in 2021.

One thing that's become increasingly clear to me over the last several weeks is that some aspects of creating a matriarchal economy are a CHOICE.  And that by making these choices on the daily we can create the matriarchal economy. I know that sounds too simple, but it's not. Look, I have no doubt that exiting the matrix will absolutely involve a fight in some ways. We will have to fight to protect nature, to protect women and children from harm and exploitation.  This is where having money and other resources will matter the most.  But right now I just want to focus on the parts that are a CHOICE.  Focusing on what you can control. In this episode, I outline the 6 principles of matriarchal financial ecology with examples of how you can move money in ways that make the patriarchy OBSOLETE.  Get the transcripts and learn more on my website: www.ishavela.com/podcast   Download SOVEREIGN WEALTH, my complete matriarchal guide to build an indigenous matriarchal money system in intentional community: https://alchemy.ishavela.com/sovereign_wealth   Download ROOTED TO RISE, my step-by-step matriarchal blueprint on how to structure your business finances to support lineage level wealth: https://info.ishavela.com/rooted-to-rise   Apply to book your customized, complimentary financial strategy session: https://www.vortex-collective.com/client-intake   Apply to join my coven of financial revolutionaries on a mission to create lineage and legacy wealth: https://www.vortex-collective.com/expansion-intake   Access free content on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@wakingup_wealthy

Our world is changing more than ever before. Women are finally standing up and saying enough is enough to patriarchal and societal patterns placed upon us. We are ready for a matriarchal way of living. I recently sat down with my dear friend and sister, Lisa Malia who is an expert in matriarchy leadership and feminine wisdom. Lisa is a women's health and wellness leader, a breast cancer sister and embodied leadership coach. In this episode we explore: 

Someone told me in my community that it's "bad for a woman to be single in her 30's." Not only did I found this statement to be wild, but it made me question why do we put a time limit on a woman's worth and beauty? And why do we allow society to dictate the lives of women in general?!I caught up with my friend, Lucy Meggeson who is a powerhouse for single and child-free women. Lucy is the Host of Thrive Solo Podcast, author of Shiny Happy Singles (or Thrive Solo if you're in North America). In this episode we explore: 

Matt and Jordan punch their tickets to an alternate reality to review Ladies First, the new Netflix comedy starring Sacha Baron Cohen and Rosamund Pike. They break down the film's (mostly good!) relentless barrage of gags, its terrifyingly plausible marketing pitches, and whether it successfully navigates the edgy tightrope of workplace comedy. But before they talk Ladies First, they have to talk about leaving the couch. Matt recounts his mind-bending, leaf-in-the-face trip to the Las Vegas Sphere watching The Wizard of Oz, while Jordan counters with an equally dramatic story about his allergy-inflicted screening ofThe Mandalorian and Grogu at his local AMC. For Rec Seg!, the multiversal madness continues as the duo pairs Ladies First with Jet Li martial arts mayhem and surrealist cinema from Fellini. Plus, a listener writes in looking for a sleek, under-the-radar romantic thriller, prompting two very different caper recommendations. Finally, Producer Sam takes over the board as "Dungeon Master" to premier a brand-new, slow-teasing visual trivia game called Strip Poster.

Send us Fan MailWhat if the beliefs running your life were never really yours?In today's episode, we take an honest look at patriarchy, matriarchy, power, money, identity, and the family roles that quietly influence how we see ourselves and each other. This is not about blaming men, dismissing women, or turning growth into a gender war. It is about noticing the narratives we inherited, especially the ones that affect our relationships, standards, emotional expression, self-worth, and ability to think clearly.From unconscious family dynamics to the way power shows up in love and leadership, this episode opens the door to a deeper kind of reflection. The kind that asks us to stop defending the script and start questioning who handed it to us in the first place.Here's a related episode that builds on today's conversation:#478 | How to Advocate For Yourself - https://apple.co/4ndYjOCLearn more about:

In this episode, Britten begins a new series exploring self-abandonment through the twelve houses of the birth chart, opening with the First House as the realm of arrival, direction, and how we enter the field of life. Returning to themes from her recent reflections on The Matriarchy is Already Here, she traces the relationship between shame, self-trust, and the ways we learn to leave ourselves behind.  Britten's Emergence Astrology sees the language as one of repair, recovery, renewal, and remembering. One that helps reveal where self-abandonment lives and what becomes possible when we choose to stay with ourselves. Britten explores the First House as the helm of the chart: the place connected to action, choice, and the way we steer the boat of our lives. She reflects on self-abandonment as a loss of trust in our own way of moving through the world and asks what it means to remain with ourselves instead. Along the way, she shares why the practice of listening with the Moon has become foundational to the reimagined Emergence Astrology Pathway, her one-to-three year program through the heart of her teachings. Rather than turning away from our own knowing, she invites listeners into a practice of attunement: listening, returning, and learning to trust themselves over time with the reckless freedom they deserve.   Learn More About The Emergence Astrology Pathway: The Emergence Astrology Pathway is a one-to-three year passage to utterly transform your relationship to being alive in your body on planet earth in present time. "The Matriarchy Is Already Here" is a phrase that came to Britten this year in a vision. In this vision, she sees the matriarchy not as a top-down political system that rises up with singular leaders. Rather, the matriarchy is all of us – in all bodies – learning to attune to and take care of the Younger Selves within us, helping us trust that we cannot be abandoned when we have ourselves. Disobedience is the way out. But first: we learn to listen within. We gather in community. We devote ourselves each to our own temples. We resource with the divine within and all around us. And we disrupt as we have the capacity to stay with ourselves through the storm of our true voices. The Emergence Astrology Pathway is a path through Britten's most refined, mature, and powerful curriculum. This experience is designed for those who ever find themselves in a position to support another. Whether you're an established therapeutic practitioner, a leader, a parent, or simply a human being with the sincere desire to show up in your fullest integrity, the Emergence Astrology Pathway will be the remembering and the revelation that you most yearn for.

In the wake of Mother's Day, Buffy reflects on mothers: what we are mothering, how we are mothered, and the creative shapes being a mother can take. She shares about experiencing her first Mother's Day without her mom and weaves in stories of people in all stages and phases. This episode is a spacious offering for wherever you find yourself in relationship to mothering — whether you are grieving, nurturing, longing, creating, or becoming. Buffy closes out the episode closes with a grounding visualization and meditation.

According to 2026 consumer statistics, women make approximately 85% of purchase decisions — from food to cars to technology. So instead of companies using “Pink Tax” marketing to inflate prices on gender-neutral products just because they're pink and labeled “for women,” you should be INVESTING in women-owned, women-led, and women-founded businesses instead.That's how you FLIP the Pink Tax — from exploiting women to actually BENEFITING women.Women are now more present in the workforce and corporate world than ever before in U.S. history, while birth rates are currently the lowest they've ever been. The economy is changing. Consumer power is changing. And women's purchasing decisions are shaping the future.Supporting women-owned businesses is a continuous step toward Matriarchy Future 2026+.I encourage you to research the founders and ownership behind the companies you currently support — because where your money goes matters.For women-owned alternatives, explore:Buy Women Owned DirectoryI personally have not purchased Starbucks in a very long time.Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol reportedly received approximately $31 million in compensation in fiscal 2025, while Starbucks workers are actively protesting and striking in 2026.According to Starbucks Workers United:“Over one thousand union baristas kicked off the Red Cup Rebellion unfair labor practice strike protesting Starbucks' historic union busting and failure to finalize a fair union contract.”Women reportedly make up approximately 71% of Starbucks' U.S. workforce.Now compare that to Savorista Coffee.Savorista Coffee was founded by Kait Brown — a woman who left an extremely stressful corporate career, traveled the world sourcing beans, and built a craft decaf and half-caf coffee company from the ground up during one of the hardest periods of her life.Savorista was later acquired by Explorer Cold Brew, founded by Cason Crane — the first openly LGBTQ+ person to climb Mt. Everest and the Seven Summits.Explorer Cold Brew is certified by the National LGBTQ+Chamber of Commerce and has raised over $200,000 for:The Trevor ProjectSo what are you actually supporting when you buy Savorista?✔️ Woman-founded brand✔️ LGBTQ-owned company✔️ Mission-driven business✔️ Ethically sourced coffee✔️ Craft quality productsThe choice is not complicated.I also support:The WMarketplaceThe WMarketplace empowers women-owned businesses and economic development by helping consumers support women entrepreneurs instead of defaulting to massive male-led corporations and marketplaces.

The concept of a matriarchy is far more nuanced and empowering than a basic ass reversal of patriarchal roles. There is a prioritization of balance over dominance, inclusion over exclusion, communal wellbeing over individual accumulation of power, environmental stewardship over endless growth, and a holistic/inclusive approach that considers impact in all areas rather than one.

Have women ever ruled the world — or did we just make it all up? Jessica Wynn separates feminist folklore from real anthropology here on Skeptical Sunday!Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Jessica Wynn!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1325On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:The world's most famous "matriarchies" — the Minangkabau, Khasi, Bribri, and Mosuo — share a curious pattern: women hold the property, the lineage, and the daily labor, while men retain the prestigious roles like religious authority, political leadership, and ceremonial titles.The prehistoric "golden age of matriarchy" so beloved by 19th-century theorists and 1970s feminist spirituality has no solid archaeological evidence behind it — but the historical record itself is biased, since colonial chroniclers often erased or ignored female authority structures they didn't recognize.A landmark study of Mosuo communities found women in matrilineal villages had less than half the chronic inflammation rates and notably lower hypertension than women in patrilineal ones — and crucially, men in those same matrilineal villages showed no meaningful health penalty.Patriarchy isn't just costly for women; it quietly taxes men too, pushing them into rigid dominance roles that produce emotional isolation, shorter lifespans, and higher suicide rates — meaning the same structure that disadvantages women also corrodes the men it supposedly elevates.The most useful reframe isn't matriarchy versus patriarchy but dominance versus care — societies organized around reciprocity, redistribution, and consensus produce measurably better well-being across genders, and that's a model anyone can build toward without needing a mythical past to justify it.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

Kimberly Rockwell, Dawn "Sam" Alden, and Lauren Torres talk about what it feels to walk through life as a woman in a large body, what feedback women receive about their bodies, and how the current emphasis on thin bodies to the exclusion of everything else can destroy us both from within and without. What messages did we absorb from our parents about what size was optimum for women? Why do we still believe the "calories in, calories out" message, despite it being just plain bad science? Why don't we understand more about what really affects our body size? And why does it freaking matter anyway???

You cannot build the matriarchy out THERE if the patriarchy is still running the operating system in HERE. That's what this episode is about. Yesterday I recorded something I've been working with for a long time: the six shadows of patriarchal programming that keep you loyal to a system designed to extract from you and hold you in a vibration of fear. In your relationship with money, with food, with your body, with rest, with desire, with your own worthiness. I call them the LIVIDS: Lack. Isolation. Victimhood. Impostor. Doubt. Shame. You know them. They live in your body, not just your mind. They got passed down through your lineage, reinforced by culture, how you were parented, and dressed up as personal flaws you've been trying to resolve in therapy for years. Stop trying to fix programming and learn the practices that make it obsolete. In this episode I walk you through each of the LIVIDS, how they show up in your relationship with money and the 6 matriarchal power hacks that rewire them. This is where mindset meets the brass tax of trauma integration. Because a new world requires a new body, one that can actually hold what we're trying to build.

In this episode, Britten shares the living transmission behind the phrase The Matriarchy Is Already Here. She explains where it came from, how it moved through her in real time, and begins to name what it actually means in the context of her teachings. Not as a future top-down system, but as something already moving from the bottom up, human to human, cycle by cycle, through the practice of staying with ourselves, protecting children, protecting life, and refusing to abandon the future. If you want to experience where this transmission first moved through her in real time, you can watch the original Instagram reel here. Britten also shares a deeply personal story from her 30th high school reunion, an unexpected encounter that became a real-time expression of everything she's been teaching. Through this story, she shows what it looks like to update into present time, stand with younger parts of yourself, and no longer let shame, old projections, or dominator personalities define your story.  This episode is a potent reflection on repair, self-loyalty, and the alchemy of becoming someone who cannot be rattled away from yourself.   Learn More: Britten invites listeners to join her and Matt in the 5th installment of Mystics Making Money: Have You Tried Making It Weirder? in May, a four part workshop series focused on branding as a practice of clarifying and expressing what you do.  We understand branding as a ritual process of updating yourself into present time so that what you share, build, and offer is no longer coming from inherited shame, past identity, or someone else's story about you. We're interested in helping you remove the lag between who you are becoming and how you are currently showing up. Here, branding becomes the expression of that alignment, not the goal.

The old world is crumbling. The new one is being born. And the women building it are doing it without a playbook, without a map, and in some cases, without sleep. Seven years into building one of the most beloved human design platforms in the space, they're both pregnant or freshly postpartum, running a global retreat business, and navigating the kind of life transitions that crack you open whether you're ready or not. We talk about the rage of motherhood, the real kind, not the highlight reel kind. And we talk about 2027: what human design says is coming, what it means for the children being born right now, and what it means for those of us who are the bridge. This one is for the builders, the bridge-walkers, and the ones who've always known something was shifting even before they had the language for it.In this episode, we're talking about: (03:27) Evolving Through Motherhood and Human Design(09:21) Leadership, Retreats, and Holding Space(23:14) Motherhood Without a Blueprint(38:42) The Rage and Identity Shift of Motherhood(49:17) Human Design and the Rise of the MatriarchyStay in touch with Daylunahttp://www.daylunalife.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@d.a.y.l.u.n.ahttp://www.instagram.com/d.a.y.l.u.n.ahttps://www.daylunalife.com/free-chartTake my FREE quiz!

“I think empathy is a creative act. It's imaginal, it's an art-making practice, where even just listening is creating a picture and a lifeworld of the other inside yourself in order to get closer to each other.” - Dylan McGarryEmpathy is a magical thing.  It lets us do more than just step into another's shoes, it opens the doors for us to step into their heart and soul with the vast generosity of spirit we'd like others to bring to us, wide as the sky, deep as the oceans, so that we can see through their eyes as the best of who they are. Obviously, we can do this with other people, but we can do it too, with whales, with elephants, with horses, and red kites and moles and spiders - and mountains and trees and landscapes… empathy is the spark that connects us to the More than Human world.  There are not many people who truly understand this and fewer still who make it their life's work to open the doors in our souls with such subtlety that we only know afterwards that we've stepped beyond the boundaries of who we think we are. Our guest this week, Dr Dylan McGarry, is one of these people. Dyl works across the fields of Education, Sociology, Ecology, and the Arts. An Educational Sociologist, Cultural Ecologist, multimedia artist, artivist, curator, theatre and filmmaker, Dyl's work spans disciplines with many tentacles touching the world. Dyl holds a PhD in Environmental Education and Art, as well as degrees in Marine Science, Environmental Science, and Sustainable Rural Development.As co-founder of Empatheatre, their praxis draws from the power of public storytelling, theatre, film, and animation, as a tool for regenerative community building, proactive justice, active empathy and meaning making.  Their artwork and creative practice are particularly focused on empathy, working with imagination, listening and empathy as actual sculptural materials. They are developing pedagogies for empathy, in the context of ecological citizenship, and exploring the sculptural potential of empathy, attentiveness, intuition and learning. Dyl is an astonishingly prolific, and inspiring pracademic, with a host of published papers in topics that I could easily dive into for years - like hydro-feminism... but it's the work of Empatheatre that we're really looking at today.  This is a theatre-based approach to transgressive social learning, and an extra-legal alternative to democratising policy change. This in itself is mind-blowing - the plays are developed over months or years in collaboration with the communities affected by the concepts - and then when the play tours, the cast and crew facilitate conversations after each event that turn into tribunals or citizen's assemblies and the mere fact of having experienced the deep emotions of the play, had a sense of how things land with other people, can open doors that were previously closed.  I've been searching for longer than this podcast has been live for people who are crafting paradigm shift in ways that are sticky, that will land and last - and this is it.  Dylan says that empathy has three components: Imagination, attentiveness, and intuition. And just hearing this opens whole new ways of being for me, and I hope for you.  This was such a heart-filling, generative conversation and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. People of the podcast, please welcome Dylan McGarry from Empatheatre, and so much more. ​"His sensitivity and integrity regarding valuing the knowledge, perspectives and values of others is amazing – a role model for others."      Professor Charlie Shackleton, Department of Environmental Science, Rhodes UniversityLINKShttps://www.dylanmcgarry.org/https://www.empatheatre.com/Empatheatre on YouTube https://youtu.be/p_W3QBz9cPY?si=mFH4W2V7_AnObM61  Lalela uLwandle (illustrated short film)https://youtu.be/DnuZa7r0vPc?si=RX3Is2k4eN0ROO9e  CWF24 TA1 Empatheatre Dylan McGarryhttps://youtu.be/sfAGXCiki8U?si=fXaqm66WlKCqO2j6 FORGE x MOTH Festival of Ideas 2025 | Dylan McGarry & Elisa Morgerahttps://youtu.be/lNm-Yf8Dt10?si=CkJW0aqePYEQAX3h  Indlela Yokuphila: The Soul's Journey (ZULU)https://youtu.be/e3tUrfUXgsw?si=tQRxPTSLHgkDwckG Isitha Sabantu Teaserhttps://youtu.be/4UBubIpCWuk?si=CyVzPA7suMnmbrrr The Blue Blanket South African Puppet Company: The HerdsThe play: Isitha Sabantu - review —About Accidental Gods—We offer three strands all rooted in the same soil, drawing from the same river: Accidental Gods, Dreaming Awake and the Thrutopia Writing Masterclass Our next Open Gathering offered as part of our Accidental Gods Programme is 'FALLING IN LOVE WITH LIFE' which will run on Sunday 17th May 2026 from 16:00 - 20:00 GMT - details are here.

What started as a guided experience with MDMA and psilocybin turned into something I can only describe as a download… one that went far beyond anything personal.I was shown where we're headed… as individuals, as leaders, and as a collective and it has completely shifted how I see my work, my voice, and the future I'm building.Take what resonates. Question what doesn't. I'm not here to convince you of anything. I'm here to share what happened.But stay with me.. because something in this might click in a way you don't expect.Connect with Sam / Voice and VisibilityWebsite: www.voiceandvisibility.comNewsletter: https://voiceandvisibility.myflodesk.com/optinFollow Sam On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thesamanthawarren/Follow Sam on Instagram: www.instagram.com/thesamanthawarrenFollow Sam on Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/voiceandvisibility

A short time later, Jenny began thinking about setting up a not-for-profit funeral service in her local area.With the help of a documentary and a crowdfunding campaign, she and the community of Port Kembla raised more than $120,000 to buy an old fire station in town.This is now where Tender Funerals operates, helping families prepare their dead for burial or cremation.On the day of the funeral, family and friends can wash and dress the body themselves, bring flowers from their own gardens, and run the service the way they want it.Learn more about the Natural Death Care Movement.Watch the trailer for Lynette Wallworth's documentary which helped begin the funding campaign.Watch the Australian Story episode about Tender Funerals.This episode of Conversations was produced by Nicola Harrison.

This week, I talk with Andrea M. Butler about her debut speculative fiction Mother. We dive into a wide range of topics, including: The origin of the novel's idea Dreams and spiritual communication Energy work and spirituality Speculative fiction grounded in reality The “predictive” nature of fiction Capitalism, wealth inequality, and food insecurity Religion and evangelical culture Community as resistance Divine feminine energy Hope through storytelling   Mother by Andrea M. Butler Synopsis Having gained control of the world's food supply, a single corporation, SunRay, holds the fate of humanity in its hands. When the government passed the HOME Act and sent millions of immigrants away, it threw the nation into an unprecedented economic crisis. Set in the near future amidst the backdrop of an increasingly volatile climate, Matt and Evie Fisher are struggling to survive. In order to find a way to save their two daughters, Matt and Evie must wrestle with their faith, their past, and a mysterious illness affecting much of the population. When a series of otherworldly dreams sets Evie on a path to find a mystical portal, and Matt finds himself in possession of information that could topple SunRay and the political network behind it, Evie realizes she is being offered a choice that could not only save her daughters, but could alter the fate of humanity forever.   Check Out Author Social Media PackagesCheck out the Bookwild Community on PatreonCheck Out My Stories Are My Religion SubstackGet Bookwild MerchFollow @imbookwild on InstagramOther Co-hosts On Instagram:Gare Billings @gareindeedreadsSteph Lauer @books.in.badgerlandHalley Sutton @halleysutton25Brian Watson @readingwithbrianMacKenzie Green @missusa2mba

While researching Robert Graves, Sean Marlon Newcombe reached out to Dr. Anett K. Jessop, who introduced us to Laura Riding Jackson, a poet, linguist, revolutionary thinker and sometime lover of Robert Graves. It could be argued she was the inspiration for a lot of Graves work, including the idea of reclaiming myth from the patriarchal lens. A fascinating, uncompromising and multi-talented woman, we just scratch the surface of her legacy in this interview! With Sean Marlon Newcombe and Dawn "Sam" Alden.

In this special Women's History Month episode of Tiny Pulpit Talks, Rev. T. J. FitzGerald and Rev. Beth Dana reflect on the legacy of women's leadership in Unitarian Universalism. They share stories about pioneering minister Olympia Brown and the "Iowa Sisterhood," a group of women who helped build congregations across the Midwest in the late 1800s while facing barriers and skepticism along the way. Their courage, creativity, and faith helped shape a tradition where women have long held meaningful leadership roles. The conversation also explores what matriarchal leadership can look like today. Rev. T. J. and Rev. Beth talk about family influence, ministry, and the ways women have turned qualities often labeled as "feminine" into sources of strength and community power. They invite viewers to think about the matriarchs in their own lives and how those examples might guide the future of our churches, families, and communities. Happy Women's History Month! First Unitarian Church of Dallas is a place you can return to - again and again - for love, connection, justice, and belonging. The support of members and friends of the church is what makes all of this possible. Make your 2026 pledge today - it matters! https://dallasuu.org/2026pledge/
