What does it look like to revitalize an abandoned space - that's situated inside an active and excessively large shopping mall - in 2005? On this special bonus episode of abandoned: The All-American Ruins Podcast, you'll meet Michael Townsend, one of the eight artists who, from 2005-2008, did just that: built a secret apartment inside the Providence Place Mall. Michael is one of the subjects of the smash documentary Secret Mall Apartment, from director Jeremy Workman and executive producer Jesse Eisenberg, which follows the story of a motley crew of Gen-X urbex artists who did the unthinkable and brought national attention to the intricacies and devastation of urbanization and gentrification... simply by occupying “underutilized space.” This bonus episode was repurposed from a live interview on abandoned host Blake Pfeil and his creative partner Jeremiah Wenutu's show Cinema Kingston!, a weekly late-night program that explores the film industry in Hudson Valley, NY. The show airs every Wednesday night from 9-11 PM EST on Radio Kingston, WKNY, AM 1490 FM 107.9, in Kingston, NY. To learn more, visit RadioKingston.org.

London and Ibiza based singer and songwriter Nick Mulvey has always been immersed in the world of music. Before launching his solo career in 2012, Nick gathered a treasure trove of musical experiences. He studied music and art in Havana, Cuba, and was an integral part of the Mercury Award-nominated Portico Quartet. Nick's debut album, "First Mind" was a remarkable debut that left a lasting impression on all who listened. Since then, he has continued to create music and tour whenever possible, balancing his roles as a devoted dad and a beloved musician. In Nick's short cinematic film, which expands on the themes of "Begin Again," he says: "We are living through an incredible shift. The old ways are dying, right before our very eyes."

Tiokasin is back with us this week and doing much better!Rakel is 40 years old and was born and raised in Ittoqqortoormiit in northeastern Greenland. When she was 4 years old, she told her mother that she would become a shaman. Growing up she always heard the stories about how they came from a shamanic family, and she always asked deep questions to what it meant for their descendants. In 2012, she started her journey to actually learn about how her ancestors lived and saw the universe as a whole. She left society and went into nature and learned what nature, Silap aappaa (the other worlds) had to teach us. In 2019, she received her healer name, which is Rakel, and was accepted into the ancient lineage as an angakoq. Ever since, she has learned how to bring the spirits to the modern human and together figure out how to apply the ancient knowledge into a modern world. These profound methods of healing that are more relevant than ever, is what Rakel uses to help people to find themselves as souls, which has been so forbidden and hidden in many ways. "A soul, that is whole, is in balance with the world and in balance with themselves." Rakel is featured in a new film that will be out soon titled "The Eternal Song."

Guest for the Full Hour:“The 130-year cycle between 2012 to 2025 is marked on stone. It is marked on this stone that has been called the Aztec Calendar, and it is neither Aztec nor a calendar,” says Geraldine Patrick Encina. Geraldine is a scholar focused on Mesoamerican calendars, Original Peoples' cosmologies, and the ethical principles embedded in earth-based traditions. Holding a Post-Doctoral degree from Universidad Nacional Autonoma de México, her research has recovered Indigenous timekeeping systems and is providing pathways for Native colleagues to re-signify their connection to ecological cycles, offering refreshed insights into living in harmony with the natural world. She is a Member of the Grand Council of the Eagle and the Condor, a distinguished member of the Otomi Council of the High Lerma River Basin, and a member of the Academic and Technical Committee of the Biocultural Heritage Network of CONACYT. She is also a member of the Interamerican Society for Astronomy in Culture (SIAC), and a Board Member of the Pre-Columbian Society at the University of Pennsylvania Museum. Beyond her research, Geraldine is involved in projects that connect ancient wisdom to modern environmental challenges. As an Executive Member of Earth Timekeepers and coordinator of a collective research program to revitalize the original Maya calendar since 2011, she is helping shape the future of biocultural heritage in Quintana Roo State.Production Credits:Tiokasin Ghosthorse (Lakota), Host and Executive ProducerLiz Hill (Red Lake Ojibwe), ProducerOrlando DuPont, Studio Engineer, Radio Kingston, WKNY 1490 AM and 107.9 FM, Kingston, NY Tiokasin Ghosthorse, Audio EditorMusic Selections:1.

From 2012 to 2019 he was the co-founder and executive director of the global activist collective The Rules. He is currently the council chair for Culture Hack Labs. Alnoor talks about various possibilities involving the changes it will take for humankind in the Anthropocene. The language and attitude exposé it would take for the recognition of capitalistic societies steeped in warmongering languages, speculative logos and denial of Indigenous cultures sustaining Earth, including harboring ideas to postpone the end of the world.

For many years I've imagined a group art experience where folks can share through some artistic means their story in trying to become a parent. As someone who experienced 6 miscarriages, much heartache and also opportunities to grow and learn about myself in my journey to becoming a mother, it's something I feel is often kept in the shadows. Today I am officially announcing this show for the Spring of 2025, May 7-11 in Kingston, NY to bring it into the light. It's an open call to anyone who has a story about trying to conceive, adopt, or become a parent in one of the many ways one can. Whether you completed that journey, are still in the midst of it, or have let that path go, you are welcome. Unless you have gone through it yourself, it's hard to know the true magnitude of how this impacts us, physically, mentally, financially. It's my hope that people can feel seen and receive support as they express their stories and help illuminate what so many suffer through alone through this community art show. If you'd like to participate, please feel free to fill out this brief form, or send me an email with any questions.About a year or so ago, I found a book that convinced me I was ready to do this show. It was in a pile of books at Radio Kingston free to take. On today's show I'll share stories from that book, Infertilities, a curation edited by Elizabeth Horn, Maria Novotny and Robin Silbergleid. NOTE: these stories may be activating for those who have a personal connection to the subject matter.Here's your New Moon report.

Today, my guest is Joanna Leffeld, more famously known as the “Moolah Doula.” She's worn many roles in her life including certified financial planner, mom, yoga teacher, artist, and hospice volunteer. She was a guest on the show a few years ago where she laid the foundation of what and why she does her work. In the past few years, she's gone deeper into her own healing as it relates to trauma and ancestral trauma. Today she talks about how this relates to her work, how it's helped her surface her gifts and how it she will be supporting others to do this work as well. As a trained end of life doula, she sits bedside with terminal patients, and listens to regretful stories of lives not lived to the fullest, missed opportunities, and hopes and dreams unfulfilled. This profoundly shaped her perspective on why living a conscious life in alignment is essential to health and abundance. Drawing from these unique and varied experiences, she has created a powerful process to help individuals and couples heal and align their relationship with money.She has some in person and virtual workshops on the horizon:Cultivating a Life of Abundance with Joanna Leffeld and Bahia Miller Thursday, April 11th from 7-8:30pm. This workshop is Free Through Sacred Reciprocity via the Holistic Life Community who she continues to volunteer with on a regular basis during their virtual health care weeks.Healing Your Money Issues Workshop in Brooklyn at MahaRose on May 30th from 7-9pm in person.Last but not least, you can find her art at Joannaleffeldart.comGetting ready for next Monday's New Moon Solar Eclipse with the help from Tanaaz.

It's Politics and Spirituality with Theresa and Marielena Ferrer. This month we're talking about open mindedness inspired by this NPR article on the same subject. Here's the Implicit Association Test that was mentioned during our conversation. Prior to jumping into this subject we do revisit the subject of money following up from my conversation with Beth Bengtson from Working for Women about their screening of the film $AVVY.Happy New Moon!

Today I welcome Beth Bengtson from Working for Women back to the show. She catches us up on what they've been up to in supporting their mission to invest capital (dollars and skills) from businesses into nonprofits supporting women who want to enter and stay in the workforce to become financially independent. They are co-hosting a screening of the film $AVVY. The film dives deep into the complexities surrounding women and money, uncovering the hidden narratives that have influenced our perceptions for generations. Directed by visionary filmmaker Robin Hauser, "$AVVY" is a captivating journey through time, culture, and society, examining the intricate relationship between women and money. From historical accounts that have shaped financial narratives to the unspoken rules that govern our modern world, this film unearths it all.Related to their upcoming film screening we spend some time talking about the hurdles in moving more wealth to women and why getting it into the hands of women is vital to an equitable and thriving local and global community. The screening is taking place from 5:15pm - 7:15pm* November 15th at Upstate Films, Starr Theater, 6415 Montgomery St, Rhinebeck, NY. *Film screening includes Q& A after Beth Bengtson of Working for Women and Beth Jones of Third Eye Associates, Ltd.I fill up the remainder of the show talking about the energy of money and how and why to consider working with it in a spiritual way, channeling your inner mystic and calling upon your ancestors to help change your money story and your relationship to it.Here are the articles I shared and the playlist referenced to get you in the mood for Samhain and a little money magic.https://www.ryandelaney.co/book-notes/the-energy-of-money-maria-nemethhttps://skchakravarthy.medium.com/what-joseph-campbell-taught-me-about-managing-my-money-6959c2ec61e0Today's show was engineered by Ian Seda of Radio Kingston.Our show music is from Shana Falana !!!Feel free to email me, say hello: she@iwantwhatshehas.org** Please: SUBSCRIBE to the pod and leave a REVIEW wherever you are listening, it helps other users FIND IThttp://iwantwhatshehas.org/podcastITUNES | SPOTIFY | STITCHERITUNES: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/i-want-what-she-has/id1451648361?mt=2SPOTIFY:https://open.spotify.com/show/77pmJwS2q9vTywz7Uhiyff?si=G2eYCjLjT3KltgdfA6XXCASTITCHER: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/she-wants/i-want-what-she-has?refid=stpr'Follow:INSTAGRAM * https://www.instagram.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast/FACEBOOK * https://www.facebook.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcastTWITTER *https://twitter.com/wantwhatshehas
Last week I put out a call, and these women answered. Struck by a recent conversation I had about war vs. peace, I realized the misogyny in the idea of peace - as something naive, weak, emotional and decidedly feminine. So I wanted to double down on my wish for peace and 5 women showed up to help do just that, offering words, sound, meditation, breath, prayer, and love.First is a meditative guided visualization from the wonderful Seaira O'Brien, multidimensional healer and word alchemist. She is followed by The Great Octave founder, Shulamit Elson who offered her signature Medisounds healing frequencies. Shulamit was on the show in November 2021 talking about grief and sound healing. Also returning to the show is Kristin Moshonas who brought us into our bodies, breath and hearts. She was on the show in May of this year talking about mental health and her work to support it. Trinity joined in studio with her guitar to set the tone for a song she wrote year's ago about love and alchemy. Her sound healing work can be found here. Last but not least is my pal Tara Sanders who's been a return guest several times. Today she guided us through a loving kindness practice sending prayers to ourselves and others. I asked her to mention the details about another event she is involved, HERSTORY: A symposium bringing together five film initiatives in the region that work to empower, celebrate and elevate female-identifying and non-binary folks in the film industry. HUDSY, Moonshot Initiative, Stockade Works, UPWIFT, and the Woodstock Film Festival will each present about their organizations, some of their past work, and the opportunities that each provides to engage with and encourage the continued expansion of diversity in the industry. This event is happening November 7th at the Rosendale Theatre.I close the show with the Full Moon report, and mention another local happening, a screening of the film $AVVY at Upstate Films in Rhinebeck on Nov. 15th at 5:15pm: This film dives deep into the complexities surrounding women and money, uncovering the hidden narratives that have influenced our perceptions for generations. Directed by visionary filmmaker Robin Hauser, "$AVVY" is a captivating journey through time, culture, and society, examining the intricate relationship between women and money.

Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse talks with regular guest and friend of “First Voices Radio” Dr. Manuel Rozental. Manuel Rozental is a long-time Colombian activist, researcher and community organizer. Manuel's been involved with grassroots political organizing with youth, Indigenous communities, and urban and rural social movements for four decades. He is part of an initiative: Pueblos en Camino, Peoples on the Path with a mandate to weave autonomies and resistance between peoples. Tiokasin and Manuel discuss the recent, extraordinary story of four Indigenous children who survived a plane crash and spent 40 days alone in the Colombian Amazon. Manuel relays new evidence and details of their experience from the Indigenous point of view. This is a story beyond what the mainstream media and the institutions are telling us. The truth has come out and is being largely ignored. The children—three girls of the Huitoto nation (ages 13, 9 and 11 months) and a boy age 4—survived a plane crash in the jungle, escaping from threats to their father by FARC dissidents. The mother died in the crash. The children, lead by the oldest girl, survived 40 days in the thickest jungle. Her skills and knowledge of the jungle made this possible. This is something that has astonished everyone. The Special Forces of the Colombian armed forces used all their technology to search and rescue them and failed. Except that they were joined by Indigenous guards and spiritual elders. It was an elder, Rubio, who meeting in ritual with the elder of the forest (spirit) lead to their location, and the Indigenous guard following his guidance found them alive. They are recovering well. Manuel says: “This is a message from the jungle and its people to the world! Women, indigenous knowledge, the Mother Jungle, the spiritual power and wisdom spoke. If we are to survive, we need these skills. A slap in the face to modernity and arrogance. An Indigenous guard who took part in the effort called for the rescue of all Indigenous children from the streets of the cities where they have been turned beggars and miserable, and committed everyone to rescue them from modernity. The story is being and will be exploited, but this truths must be known!” A very special thanks to our friend Manuel for this important perspective and what we know and will always remember.

This week we're revisiting Tiokasin Ghosthorse's conversation with Munya Andrews and his discussion on greed with Malcolm Burn. The original episode aired on April 10, 2022.Munya Andrews is an Indigenous woman from the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Born to an Aboriginal woman and Scottish father, she is proud of her Aboriginal and Celtic heritage. Her Bardi 'saltwater' people come from the Dampier Peninsula and the offshore islands north of Broome. Regarded by Melbourne University as a "leading Australian thinker," Munya is an accomplished author and barrister with degrees in anthropology and law. Educated in Australia and the United States, she is fascinated by comparative religions, languages, mythology and science, and is intrigued by the way in which they interact and inform each other. Munya's book, "Journey into Dreamtime," is an easy guide to Aboriginal spirituality that explains Dreamtime concepts in a simple way. Munya's life purpose is to create better understanding and appreciation of Aboriginal people, leaving behind a legacy of Dreamtime wisdom for generations to come. Munya's long term vision is to create a fairer, more inclusive Australian society, which recognizes and pays respect to its First Nations people. Following Tiokasin's talk with Munya, he and Malcolm Burn, FVR's show engineer and host of “The Long Way Around” on Radio Kingston, discuss “greed,” while contemplating the title of the closing song, “Everybody Wants to Rule the World.” Tiokasin asks, "How does one get to rule the world?" Answer: "By turning your back on Mother Nature/Mother Earth." Following this train of thought, Tiokasin talks about greed, which he says is a “being,” a “value” that many people in the U.S. and Western Hemisphere don't understand. What if greed had a “cost”; what if one had to “pay” something for greed? Malcolm says that "we live in a culture where greed is kind of celebrated and is expected on a certain level —turn on the television and everyone wants more of everything, bigger this, bigger that, more; our culture is consumer based." Both agree that greed is a characteristic of the wasicu and the windigo (the one who is never satisfied). Tiokasin says there is no ceremony to accept greed intelligently. Greed is a being. How is it treating you and how are you treating it?

The Association has been tracking domestic and international auctions selling sensitive American Indian, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian cultural heritage since 2018. Bonhams Skinner, a large global auction house, has been hosting a 10-day American Indian and Tribal Art online auction this month. The Association has major concerns about the chain of title, as well as the authenticity, of many of the items in this auction. Shannon has been practicing law for more than 22 years and is a lecturer at Johns Hopkins University. She has served Indian Country in the private sector as an attorney, leading a large national firm's Indian law practice that worked to strengthen, maintain and protect Indian nation sovereignty, self-determination and culture.

She has been working in service to the last wild buffalo for more than 20 years. Stephany learned about the continued war against wild buffalo in 1996 and has been advocating for them ever since. In response to their struggle, she moved to Montana on New Year's Day 2004, where she became the media coordinator for Buffalo Field Campaign, from which she parted ways after 18 years of service over philosophical differences. Stephany has nearly 20 years of experience standing with the buffalo and is an avid wildlife photographer, backcountry skier and horsewoman. She is a member of Deep Green Resistance. Stephany trusts that the buffalo have called us not just to help defend them, but to help us save us from ourselves from the unsustainable and selfish creation of industrial civilization.

Tiokasin spends the full hour talking about Indigenous resistance and cultural survival in Peru with María Blanco and Aymar Accopacatty.Aymar, who has been a frequent guest this year, is an intercultural artist and museum textile conservator. He is a lifelong student of his Indigenous Aymara heritage, in honor of his Native community of Qullana Socca, Puno, Perú. María Blanco is the daughter of Hugo Blanco Galdós, “a living legend, one of a constellation of elders who have left this time of calendars and progress and exploitation to live the life of plenitude and freedom in struggle.” — Manuel Rozental. María was born in Sweden. She speaks Quechua, is the mother of two, and is a member of the board of editors of “Indigenous Struggle.” María usually lives in Cusco, in a small community, working the land and organizing Indigenous resistance. She had to go to Sweden temporarily to make some income for survival as well as to move resources for “Indigenous Struggle,” the Journal (Lucha Indígena). Her father Hugo Blanco Galdós has said many things that need to be remembered. One of these statements: “I used to fight for land when I was young, now I fight for LAND. LLuchaba por la tierra cuando era joven, ahora lucho por LA TIERRA. Don´t teach them Marxism Leninism, organize them to protect water and save mother earth.” (Very special thanks to our friend Manuel Rozental, a frequent and treasured guest, for introducing us to María and making it possible for her to appear on our show.)

Charles Lyons is a multimedia journalist and filmmaker. He recently produced coverage of the 2022 Brazilian election for PBS NewsHour, which included two long-form reports on deforestation and Indigenous rights. Prior to that, he received an Alfred P.

Tiokasin catches up with returning guest Dr. Tink Tinker for the full hour. Dr. Tinker is the Clifford Baldridge Emeritus Professor of American Indian Cultures and Religious Traditions at Iliff School of Theology in Denver, Colorado. He is a citizen of the Osage Nation (wazhazhe) and has been an activist in urban American Indian communities for four decades. He joined the faculty at Iliff School of Theology in 1985 and brought an American Indian perspective to this predominantly euro-christian school. Dr. Tinker is committed to a scholarly endeavor that takes seriously both the liberation of Indian peoples from their historic oppression as colonized communities and the liberation of euro-christian (White) Americans, the historic colonizers and oppressors of Indian peoples, whose self-narrative typically avoids naming the violence committed against Indians in favor of a romance narrative that justifies their euro-christian occupancy of Indian lands. Tiokasin and Dr. Tinker dissect "It's Time to Rethink the Idea of 'Indigenous,'" by Manvir Singh (The New Yorker, Feb. 20, 2023).

Today I reply my interview from February 2020 with MANDA ZAND ERVIN, Founder and Director of the Alliance of Iranian Women. We will be talking about Iran, the beautiful history of Iran, the ruling Women-Gods, the plight of women in Iran under Sharia law, and her new book, “The Ladies' Secret Society: History of the Courageous Women of Iran.“During the Iranian Islamic revolution, Manda witnessed the execution of many innocent people, including her high school principal who was murdered because she was a woman and the secretary of education. She witnessed the human rights of the Iranian people, especially the women, taken away from them. She witnessed her homeland leaving the twentieth century to turn backward and she witnessed the effect.Manda came to the United States as a political refugee on June 17th, 1980, became a citizen three years later and began her fight for human rights in Iran. She is the founder and president of the Alliance of Iranian Women a group which has deep connections within the Iranian diaspora and within Iran.As the head of the Alliance of Iranian Women, Manda Ervin works to bring the West's attention to the plight of Iranian women under Islamic Sharia laws. She almost single-handedly gathered the support to pass a 2003 U.S. Senate Resolution on the human rights of the women of Iran. In 2005 Manda was invited to speak at the UN conference on the family in Islamic societies.Manda is an analyst and writer, published by many online political magazines, like the Hudson Institute, American Thinker, and Family Security Matters, National Review and others. She speaks on TV and radio programs, nationally and internationally, including CNN, BBC, Radio France, VOA, Radio Liberty.Her book reveals, in print for the first time, the long history of struggle against clerical domination that Iranian women have been engaged in for centuries. Rooted in the proud history of ancient Iran, where Mother-Gods were once worshipped, the Ladies' Secret Society, an organization founded in the early decades of the 20th Century, was both the inheritor of this proud history, and the progenitor of the contemporary women's rights campaign in the Iran of today. Zand Ervin relates the stories, and records the accomplishments, of generations of individual women activists, who fought like lionesses for every scrap of freedom they gained, only to see all their hard-won rights destroyed with the coming of Khomeini's Islamic Revolution. During the Islamic revolution, Zand Ervin witnessed the execution of many innocent people, including her high school principal, who was executed simply because she was a woman, and the Secretary of Education. She offers heartbreaking and compelling eyewitness testimonies of strong and emancipated women who were brutally pushed backwards to living under a crude, medieval society, and who have fought back, under sometimes impossible odds, and continue fighting today. Manda Zand Ervin's History of Iran, the Iran that has been imprisoned behind a veil offers an insight and context to news of terrorism and the dangers caused by the misogynistic clerical regime ruling Iran which continues to dominate headlines.https://www.allianceofiranianwomen.org/2020/01/an-iranian-womens-rights-advocates-life-hanging-in-the-balance/Today's show was engineered by Ian Seda of Radio Kingston,http://www.radiokingston.org.We heard music from our fave, Shana Falana,http://www.shanafalana.com/Feel free to email me, say hello: she@iwantwhatshehas.orgLeave me a voicemail with your thoughts or a few words about who has what you want and why!
