OneSpaceLove Podcast with your host and guest Stephanie Papas Welcome to the first episode of OneSpaceLove Podcast, with your host Stephanie Papas. The guest of the first show is me, Stephanie Papas, where I share with you my why and how I came to be the founder of OneSpaceLove and why I am now launching OneSpaceLove Podcast. OneSpaceLove has promoted, hosted and toured many incredible music change-makers, such as Bobby Alu, Nicky Bomba, Oka, Ganga Giri, Tina Malia and collaborated with Bluesfest Touring, Byron Spirit Fest, Bali Spirit Fest, Bhakti Fest, and Wanderlust Festival with artists such as Nahko Medicine for the people, Michael Franti and Mike Love, to name a few.

Stephanie will be sharing her wisdom, and bring in guests to share, why they get to do what they love while caring for the planet and how they implement this into their lifestyles and community.

After touring for years around the world with Nahko & Medicine for the People, Hope Medford decided to have a baby. In this episode, Hope and I discuss her journey of becoming a doula and midwife, what it has been like to attend over 450 births and her experience of performing in front of thousands as drummer for Nahko & Medicine for the People. "There's something about being with a woman giving birth that just doesn't even compare to performing on stage in front of thousands of people"   In this episode we discussed:  Hope’s first experience attending a birth at 19 years old  Her journey to becoming a midwife and experience of attending births The benefits of water birth  How Hope first felt called to the drum Hope’s journey to becoming a mother and giving birth to her daughter at home in water Raising women’s voices and how we can lift each other up The energy of the Big Island of Hawaii and MAnaFest, the festival she puts on each year there in honor of the sacred feminine   Stay in Touch with Hope: Website: www.hopemedford.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/Hope-Medford Youtube: www.youtube.com/user/TheFlipside29   Hope is a creative force. Following spirit and serving humanity as her guides, Hope has walked many paths flowing from & returning to the same source. Hands in the dirt, beating drumskin, brushing color across canvas, holding a newborn babe, or gathering the tribe; Hope thrives when steeped in raw, fresh energy pulsing around her. She is a visionary who sees the positive direction she wants the world to move toward, and takes the steps she can to manifest it. Touring Internationally and playing drums with Nahko and Medicine for the People since they were first heard of, Hope and Nahko shared a chemistry and frequency which catalyzed Medicine for the People to catapult from busking in the streets to performing in front of well over a hundred thousand people in a few short years. Nahko's music has a message that served as a call to the global conscious community for justice, truth talking, and positive social change.   We were a part of a very special movement. Our music was bringing people together who were healing and wanting to make the world better.  To Hope, that was one more step in her journey.  Before that, Hope was a midwife, assisting over 450 births, primarily holistic home and water births, in Africa, Bali, and the US.  Protecting the next generation has always been sacred and close to her heart.  Birth is the moment a fresh soul enters the world and a woman transforms though an extraordinary rite of passage to become a mother.  Hope has always felt honored to spend endless hours by a woman's side in her most primal and powerful birthing moments.  The humility and awe in holding humanity in its first breaths have given Hope a deeper connection, compassion, and grounding in life.  This has inspired her to work to raise awareness about families' birth options and the importance of their choices.  Hope created Artemis Healing Arts education program and taught natural birth classes in Peru, Brazil, Bali and at Findhorn Ecovillage, in Scotland, as well as in the US.   For Hope, the drum has always been a tool of spirit.   Her first teacher was Babatunde Olatunje, who encouraged her to keep playing, and to always play with love.  Drums have taken her around the world; Hope studied with teachers in Brazil, Peru, and West Africa.  She shared the drum with children in India and taught rhythm to youth groups in Guatemala.  Hope has taught over 2,500 students of all ages;  she uses drums to facilitate empowering women's voices in workshops and confidence building with at-risk youth groups.   Drums are a powerful connection to our ancestors.  As ancient healers have always known, when infused with positive vibrations & intentions, drums are potent medicine.  Hope's connection to nature began as a child and continues to flourish.  Hope co-founded an urban non-profit  permaculture education site, Tryon Life Community Farm.  Hope coordinated the education program for years, teaching sustainability techniques such as natural building, permaculture gardening, social ecology, and the arts.  Hope participated in the Global peace walk for 8 years.  She later served for 3 years on the Board of Directors of Honor the Earth, the environmental justice non-profit protecting indigenous lands in North America, founded by Winona La Duke and supported by the Indigo Girls.  Most recently, Hope has allied with the protectors of Mauna Kea, who currently have been standing in peaceful protest for months to prevent development on sacred indigenous land in Hawaii.  Much of her passion is expressed in rich color and paint.  Painting since she was a child, Hope has experimented with nearly every artistic medium she could get her hands on.  As a result, many of her works are mixed media, often incorporating wood, feather, stone, metal, pencil, marker, watercolor, and acrylic - integrating them into delicate lines and powerful bold swaths of color to tell a story of women's power, strength and beauty.  Creating images of empowered women has been a life long devotion;  in response to being raised in a world where women have not been treated fairly or equally to men, and the earth has been ravaged due to this imbalance between masculine and feminine forces..   Her art is currently shown at the beautiful Wild Heartist Gallery in Hilo, Hawaii.  Hope's Musical Journey continues forward, she has recorded 3 solo albums, and her sound has been described as 'hypnotic world beat with maternal soul'. Recently when Hope evacuated Hawaii in the 2018 lava flow, she temporarily relocated to the Blue Ridge Mountains where she began a new musical project, a trio of women called CedarWing, described as 'world soul folk with a groove'.  CedarWing recently recorded their first album which has not yet been released! ...wait for it!!  Hope co-founded MAnaFest music, arts & education festival in Hawaii in 2015, inspired by the transition from touring full time with Nahko, to giving birth to her daughter.  While playing at festivals across the world, Hope recognized the imbalance of the number professional male performers to female.  She is committed to helping women find their voice and share it!  MAnaFest is a festival that honors the sacred feminine; it is run by women, featuring over 25 female performers, 25 workshops led by women, 5 female live artists, dancers, ceremony, red tent, grandmothers council and more- all on the beautiful grounds of  tropical permaculture retreat center and spa! MAnaFest is inclusive of all people, everyone is welcome.  There is a grandfathers council and purple tent to honor men and gender fluid community.  2020 Clear Vision is the theme of this upcoming 5th annual MAnaFest Jan 24, 25 & 26 - Join us! (manafestival.org)  Hope loves to teach and give back to her community.  Join her on the Big Island of Hawaii for one of her upcoming juicy workshops:   Raising Our Voices - 3 day music empowerment workshop, teaching alongside professional songstresses Mama Crow and Mary Isis,  Jan 28, 29 & 30 (starting after MAnaFest)   Wild & Natural Birth - 5 day DONA certified doula training co-facilitaed with Jesse Remer, international DONA certified trainer, Feb 19-23rd and   Creative Spirit Art Journey - 4 day Spring Equinox immersion in the creative process, integrating ritual, art & community March 19-22.   Registration: go to Workshops at HopeMedford.com Questions: hopemedford@gmail.com  Find Hope and check out her blog at: HopeMedford@gmail.com      

I'm pleased to introduce our first ever musician to the show today - Trevor Hall. Trevor's BIG TRUTH was threefold, "Not trying to figure it all out, being comfortable with the unknown and surrendering into that space." We talked about: -His most recent album release which was both innovative and unconventional -His path as a professional musician (This was fascinating to me! He signed a record deal at 18, and produced two albums in four years that never saw the light of day. I didn't even know that was possible...) -The meaning of his latest album title, "The Fruitful Darkness" -Some of his favorite artists and tours -How music breaks down walls and barriers We also kept it real and geeked out on our favorite TV shows. I think his is really going to surprise you. Enjoy! About Trevor Hall: Raised on an island in South Carolina, singer/songwriter Trevor Hall realized at a young age that music was more than just a passion - it was, rather, his life’s art. At sixteen, he recorded his first album, soon after which he left South Carolina for Idyllwild Arts Academy in California where he studied classical guitar and was introduced to the practices of yoga and meditation, which would greatly influence his life and his music. Hall’s music, a blend of roots and folk music, is imbued with a deep love of Eastern Mysticism. This powerful symbiosis fostered a deep connectivity with his growing fan base and Trevor quickly matured into a leader of the burgeoning conscious musical community. Along with numerous pilgrimages to India, he has also completed a series of sold-out tours and collaborations with artists such as Steel Pulse, Ziggy Marley, Jimmy Cliff, Matisyahu, Michael Franti, Xavier Rudd and Nahko & Medicine for the People. His previous full-length album releases, Chapter of the Forest (2014) and KALA (2015), debuted at #3 and #2 on the iTunes singer/songwriter chart respectively and were supported by extensive tours around the US and Australia. Beyond his intention to spread love and healing through music, Hall also collects donations to support children’s education in India and has continuously donated to charities and relief funds. The Fruitful Darkness is Trevor’s first independent release — supported by his fans know as THE VILLAGERS — has become the #1 Music campaign of its kind in 2017 — after a decade plus recording for established labels such as Geffen and Vanguard. “There have been many hurdles and triumphs along the way” Hall reflects. “This album conveys the deep vulnerability of journeying through the unknown, as opposed to playing it safe.” Besides the change in infrastructure, the album itself explores completely new sonic terrain and is being released unconventionally, in three song installments on specific lunar dates. The first three tracks dropped worldwide this September 15th on iTunes.  

Hall's music, a blend of roots and folk music with hints of inspiration from India, has led him to a series of sold-out tours and collaborations with artists such as Steel Pulse, The Wailers, Jimmy Cliff, Matisyahu, Michael Franti, Xavier Rudd and Nahko & Medicine for the People. Trevor Hall's Chapter of the Forest (2014) and KALA (2015), debuted at #3 and #2 on the iTunes singer/songwriter chart respectively. He is currently touring around the US and Australia. While on tour, Hall collects donations to support children's education in India. The Fruitful Darkness released in November of 2017, became the #1 Kickstarter Music campaign of 2017 (#30 of all time out of 53,000 Music projects) and is being released in three song installments on specific lunar dates, culminating in a 14-song deluxe edition release, June 1st 2018. The Fruitful Darkness Part III just dropped this past Friday, so be sure to pick it up on Spotify or your favorite music platform. Trevor kicks off his A Night in the Village Tour February 21st in Minneapolis, MN with events in IL, OH, MD, CT, NY and more. Tickets are selling out fast for this special event where Trevor will be sharing songs, the stories behind them, as well as rare images and footage from his journeys to India, Nepal and beyond. You'll have the opportunity to interact and ask questions at the end of the evening during a Q&A. 'A Night in the Village' will give listeners a unique insight into the inspiration and stories behind the songs of Trevor Hall's life journey. Trevor's mix of deep spiritual work and the stories behind how his songs came to be are food for any creatives soul and for me has deepened the practice of seeing a miracle in every day life. In this episode you'll learn How music can help you explore your inner being. Why pushing down emotions can cause them to unconsciously affect your behaviors and relationships. Ways to develop a deeper connection and love with others. Learning to find mental and emotional freedom by exploring the depths of your consciousness. How you can maintain positive energy while navigating a major change in identity. Why separateness is actually an illusion and how you can embrace the collective oneness of the world.
