Anna Schaum is a professional violist and licensed counselor who works at the intersections of psychology, neurobiology, social and ecological change, in both clinical and corporate settings.She is Director of Ecosocial Development for an international photography business, and the founder of The Center for Sound Relationships, a resiliency studio in Portland Oregon. QUOTES“I think of myself as an instrument when I'm working with people.”“Sometimes I'm like a tuning fork, other times I'm listening to the other voices in the room and helping them to coordinate.”“I realised I needed to do more than play music, something had been broken up in my accident.”“I started doing volunteer work, looking for how I could use the ability to listen and connect with people without the instrument.”“We have an opportunity and responsibility to find ways to ease up on that individualism, work collectively and lift up voices that are precious.” “In order to do that, we need to get out of our ego's path.”“Egos are to support a creative mind, not run the show.”“We can't make change only in our heads, as musicians if we just sat and thought about the music there would be no sound. It has to come through the body.”“The orchestra told me I would need to choose between my interest in psychology, and my interest in remaining employed (in so many words).”“My body has always been part of it. My classical training, especially when it came to taking auditions and being evaluated for it, realising this is how I'm going to make a living and survive, that's when I cut off from my body.”“I'd never been somebody who enjoyed going to orchestra concerts, I'd rather be doing it.”LINKSThe Centre for Sound RelationshipsCelebrating Anna's Teacher and Mentor, Manuel DiazTune UP!: A Psychodramatic Mindfulness-in-Action Practice from The Journal of Pyschodrama, Sociemetry and Group PsychotherapyWhat is PsychodramaPat Ogden, PsychotherapistResmaa Menakem ‘Notice the Rage; Notice the Silence' from the On Being Podcast with Krista TippettOkaidjaPODCAST TEAMProduction Support from Molly Jenkins Audio Engineering from Frazer RuddickTheme Music Composed by Danna YunTheme Music Performed by Jasper LyRECORDEDRecorded on 17 May 2021

Y'all... I have been waiting for almost a full year to share this episode with you! It has felt like the biggest, most exciting secret, and now I can finally share this joy with you! As you know by now, I have been working tirelessly on a new meditation app called Shoreline, and one of my creative partners in this endeavour is acoustic ecologist Gordon Hempton. For months now, Gordon and I have had weekly virtual conversations to sit together and listen and discuss the sounds of the natural world around us. I think perhaps the thing I love most about these conversations is that when I listen to Gordon talk about his experiences of listening to nature, he uses the same words, the same feeling tones that I use as I talk about meditation. It is two different pathways to the exact same place - a place of awakening to the immense love of being alive. As you know, I am passionate about offering meditation in ways that feel accessible and doable for ALL OF US. No matter how busy, how many kids, how many struggles… we can all meditate. And, I believe Shoreline gives us some new options within this practice. I sat down with Gordon a few weeks ago to talk about the Songs of Spring and what is really offered in the “opportunities of now” - let's listen together. If you enjoyed today's episode, please consider leaving me a review wherever you found this podcast. Your review helps others to find this show!

If you want to uplevel your life, you need to uplevel your mind and your mindset.  As Einstein says, we can’t solve our problems at the same level of thinking that created them. And as we face a time of crisis, we are being called to radically uplevel the way we think.  In this solo episode, Laura Dawn explores how you can cultivate mindsets that are critically valuable for leading through this time of change and expanding the boundaries of what you believe is possible.  Laura Dawn shares the narrative of how humanity is in the gap between two worlds and how we can learn to foster resilience through cultivating mindsets like curiosity to catalyze awakening, creative thinking, and heart-centered leadership.  Mindsets like curiosity allow us to perceive possibility where we previously saw limitations, and build bridges between the riffs that keep us divided.  Laura Dawn describes these mindsets within a powerful framework she’s developed called the path of the Creative Visionary Bodhisattva that can act like a companion guide for those on the plant medicine path.  In this episode, Laura Dawn shares powerful questions that you can draw upon to help you cultivate a curiosity mindset, not just for your benefit, but for the healing of humanity.  https://livefreelaurad.com/ep-15-solo-cultivating-mindsets-for-heart-centered-leadership--curiosity-as-a-catalyst-for-awakening--perceiving-possibility/ (Access Full Transcript Here) Psychedelic Resourceshttps://www.livefreelaurad.com/free-microdosing-course (Free 8-Day Microdosing Course) https://livefreelaurad.com/music-playlists (4 Music Playlists for Psychedelic Journey’s & Beyond) Resources Mentioned in This Episode https://onbeing.org/programs/elizabeth-gilbert-choosing-curiosity-over-fear-may2018/ (Listen to "Choosing Curiosity Over Fear" from the On Being Podcast with Elizabeth Gilbert and Krista Tippet)

The global pandemic has forced us to pause and turn inward. As we take a deep collective exhale, we may find space to come into alignment and heal. On this episode we explore what inner harmony is, what it’s not, and different perspectives and practices to “get there.” When the external world is turned upside down, how can we create our own sustainable happiness and peace? Learning that our external reality is always in flux and never certain, how do we build a sense of stability, clarity, ease and fulfillment from within? We dive into the key to alignment, both within and to that which is greater than ourselves. Enjoy! Join the Living Brave Community on FB!

“If you open up and actually be yourself, your not only going to be accepted and seen. It's going to power you through all of the tough shit your going through. It's going to power you towards the things you actually want and who you actually are.” On this week's episode host Dan Doty leans into an old part of himself and plays a recording of a song he wrote about loneliness. We then jump into an interview with Evryman's Owen Marcus to discuss how NOT to be lonely. I'll give you a hint: it starts by taking a risk and being vulnerable. In this episode:   Can you be artistic and creative if you are full of connection Going it alone Connecting to your own experience The impact of vulnerability How to reach out and connect Braving the discomfort of being you True connection comes from being connected to yourself first   Link to: Brene Brown, On Being Podcast   http://bit.ly/2F3SS0f

Recently, near the feast day of Jonathan Myrick Daniels observed on August 14th in the Episcopal Church Lesser Feasts and Fasts calendar, I had the pleasure of re-discovering the public theologian Ruby Sales.   Ruby Sales was the 16 year old student whom Jonathan Myrick Daniels pushed out of harms way in Fort Deposit, AL, on August 20th, 1965, when he saw Tom Coleman level a shotgun at her and he died a martyr having taken the full force of the shotgun blast.  He would later be recognized a martyr by the Episcopal Church for his actions that day.    Ruby Sales, went on to attend seminary and continue her civil rights and social justice work and continues her ministry and work through The Spirit House Project.   The interview she gave on the On Being Podcast in August of 2017, is a must hear as it speaks deeply to the current situation facing all lives in the United States today.  The show notes posted on our website at angelsofthenativity.org/speilumina will have links to that interview and to the blog post I wrote in 2015 remembering the 50th anniversary of the martyrdom of Jonathan Myrick Daniels.   Theology and theologies have often been too heady for me and too philosophical and far removed from the day to day steps and progress I attempt to make in my spiritual journey.  Ruby Sales sparks within me a desire to reflect on my role — as I continue along in my spiritual journey — in the theology/theologies she is calling all those involved in social justice, civil rights and faith to envision, when she says:   “I really think that one of the things that we’ve got to deal with is that — how is it that we develop a theology or theologies in a 21st-century capitalist technocracy where only a few lives matter? How do we raise people up from disposability to essentiality?” — Ruby Sales

It was so fun to chat with Kelsey Merkley (@bella_velo) during our second #InVinoFab interview -- women telling their stories. There was a wealth of stuff we chatted about and we hope you enjoy listening to the conversation as much as we had chatting:Kelsey thinks that more women need to be leaders and recognized for the work they do in the open education movement and in education. From biking to South Africa from Canada and building bridges between communities in the global south, Kelsey is always considering what the access and opportunities for learning. We need to encouraging ways to have more dialogue with those who aren't always at the table/classroom/conference to be cognizant include a voice that is not always heard, specifically to ensure we have access to knowledge and the opportunity-cost that we miss out on by not learning from an audience that is more representative of all nations. How can we learn to solve issues in education from others? How can we offer space for other voices and remove the barriers for learning? As a former librarian, Kelsey believes in access to information and ensuring knowledge is equitably shared. Some of the open technologies (ahem MOOCs) did not necessarily change the world, but it has gotten her thinking about the user experience and their own digital affordances beyond our North American experience. From the way we structure the web to the content we load onto each page, the digital pathway to accessing information is not the same and there are so many inequities for those learners who might not have the same privileges. Who are we providing learning to? What are the barriers faced when accessing learning globally? Have we thought about these issues in Canada or the US -- when there are remote areas with limited internet access?Ways we can consider access for women in education and at our conferences:-Are we offering educational scholarships to women who might not have access?-Are there funds or scholarships for women to a conference?-Is there childcare offered at the conference you are attending? Why or why not?-Are we thinking about ways to make connections at events or conferences?

Steph Jagger is a Guinness World Record holder, published author, & avid skier; and from July 2010 to May 2011, she circumnavigated the globe in search of one thing: snow. What she didn't plan on finding atop the world's whitest peaks, was herself.  For a year, Steph traveled and skied full-time and in the end, she skied over 4.1 Million vertical feet, breaking the world record for most vertical feet ever skied in a single year. Her original goal was 4,000,000 feet—but when she found out about the record she couldn't help but beat it! In our interview Steph shares candidly what went into planning and executing on such a bold trip, and how she was able to translate that experience into her new book, Unbound: A Story of Snow & Self-Discovery.  THE BOLD LIFE MOVEMENT SUBSCRIBE: iTunes | Stitcher Radio | YouTube   FOLLOW STEPH: Website | Facebook | Instagram  SOME QUESTIONS I ASK: Was it a quick decision or something you hemmed and hawed over? How did you afford it?  What were some of the most trying situations from the trip?  What is the first step someone should take if they're feeling stuck?  What was coming home like?  How can people avoid post-adventure blues? Why did she pick traditional publisher over self-publishing? IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN:  How to differentiate between something you're being called to and something that your ego is telling you to do.  Why she felt comfortable taking a year-long solo trip.  How to sustain the new you after you've experienced shifts in perspective.  How her book, Unbound, came to fruition. How to put together your book proposal and get picked up by a traditional publisher.  MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Big Magic - https://www.amazon.com/Big-Magic-Creative-Living-Beyond/dp/1594634726 Your Big Beautiful Book Plan - http://yourbigbeautifulbookplan.com/ Too Fat, Too Slutty, Too loud - https://www.amazon.com/Too-Fat-Slutty-Loud-Unruly/dp/0399576851 Marie Howe Poems - http://www.mariehowe.com/ Becoming an Alchemist - Guide for the Modern Magician - https://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Alchemist-Guide-Modern-Magician/dp/1590306872 On Being Podcast - https://onbeing.org/ Cheryl Strade - http://www.cherylstrayed.com/ Anne Lamott - https://www.facebook.com/AnneLamott/ Claire Bidwell Smith - https://clairebidwellsmith.com/

Cathy and Todd discuss why freeing ourselves from needing to be right can shift the dynamics of a conversation, and ultimately, a relationship. They share a clip of Glenn Beck from the On Being Podcast where he explains why using fear divides, and why it’s time to come together and listen. They also share an interview from Tim Ferriss’ podcast about why treating all people with dignity is essential, and why we want all people to be just like us. This episode will free your mind (and as En Vogue says), and the rest will follow…

Ellen Langer was interviewed by Krista Tippet for the On Being Podcast. They also talk about different ways of dealing with sibling rivalry. Todd unveils his new technique in dealing with children being unkind towards one another.
