Podcasts about revolution within

A sermon by John Zeigler entitled "Holiness, a Revolution Within" from Matthew 5:17-48

On this week's episode of the podcast, Yasmin Moll of the University of Michigan joins Marc Lynch to discuss her new book, The Revolution Within: Islamic Media and the Struggle for a New Egypt. This book challenges conventional accounts of the 2011 revolution and its aftermath as a struggle between secular and religious forces, reconsidering what makes a practice virtuous, a public Islamic, a way of life Godly. Yasmin Moll shows how Islamic media and the social life of theology mattered to contestations over the shape of a New Egypt. Music for this season's podcast was created by Feras Arrabi. You can find more of his work on his website Music and Sound at www.ferasarrabi.com.   POMEPS, directed by Marc Lynch, is based at the Institute for Middle East Studies at the George Washington University and is supported by Carnegie Corporation of New York.

The practice of political internal self-reflection is just as important as external activism. Tackling your implicit bias is a meditation on becoming more loving. Learning requires being open to being wrong, to be willing to let in new information. This current moment in history is (once again) demonstrating how detrimental to progress the human ego can be. Unpack your conditioning, exude radical acceptance, and like a drop in the ocean, you can become the change you wish to see in the world. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

Even with the gut health revolution in full swing across the CPG industry, most consumers still have a knowledge gap, but that might actually end up creating a double-edged sword effect on categorical growth. Gut health has become such a well-known trend within the food, beverage, and supplement CPG categories…bringing with it tons of new market growth and product development. (Note: I'll cover some of that trending gut health CPG product and brand development later in the content.) But it's natural to assume then that all this positive market activity also greatly improved consumer education, right? There's little doubt in my mind that consumers are certainly more aware and educated than ever about gut health, but even I get frequently tripped up with the ever-evolving information and gaps in knowledge that it creates about the topic. I think it's that consistent newness of information, and knowledge gap that it creates, which forms a paradoxical relationship with the expected massive categorical growth. In this content, I'll dive into the difference between consumer intent around gut-related conditions and gut health benefits. Additionally, the importance of the gut health ecosystem to educate consumers on the difference between various probiotic strains, or how prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics function differently. Also, how CPG brands must take an integrated approach to product marketing that meets the consumer where they are at…in a way that breaks down scientific findings into easy-to-understand nuggets of information. Finally, I share the importance of gut health thought leaders (influencers) and talk shop with Matt Titlow, CEO of Compound Solutions, which is the supplier of the popular gut health ingredient CoreBiome about his unique perspective on gut health within the context of the emerging CPG intersections of food, beverage, and nutritional supplements.

Dr. Halas Sabry talks with us about how she began her journey to found the 100k+ member strong Facebook Group, Physicicans Mom's Group or PMG. We talk about how understanding and recognizing what isn't working helps to build us up. The revolution begins with yourself and this conversation is a great first step on that path! 

In this episode, I share a story of a meeting marked by synchronicities, and the thoughts that this meeting inspired, regarding awakening through authentic being, particularly in uncertain times as these. Even amidst the chaos and uncertainty of our times, I am seeing so many bright souls awakening to a unifying purpose, a way of attending to life that transcends division. Towards the end of this episode we share a prayer for the hope we may enact by our unification and co-creation. Be sure to join us for that and let us share in communion our gratitude for this miraculous existence, for this opportunity to awaken together and be as beacons of light through these dark times.

Ms. Is turning 50 It was in December 1971 that a staff writer for the New Yorker named Gloria Steinem created what would become, the following summer, Ms. Magazine. The December debut was actually an insert in the New Yorker, and it instantly catapulted stynom to the forefront of the feminist movement. Fast forward to 1992. Gloria Steinem wrote a book called The Revolution Within, and that's when she and I sat down for one of our several conversations over the years. So here now, from 1992, gloria Steinem.

We were absolutely thrilled to sit down with internationally acclaimed yoga teacher and activist Seane Corn. Seane is a powerful force, known for her social impact, impassioned style of teaching, and raw, honest, self-expression. We take a deep dive into yoga and social justice, how it is impossible to separate our path as yogis from the core tenet of ahimsa (non-violence), the fact that generational trauma is often present in our deepest moments of activation, and how we might all use this moment in history as an opportunity to rise, rather than going backward. Seane has been such a profound spiritual teacher for both of us. She is the kind of leader who makes you want to show up and be better, and we know that you are going to be just as moved by her words as we were. You can learn more from Seane and practice with her through her online platform Revolution Within on her website at seanecorn.com or follow her on IG @seanecorn If you love the conversations we're bringing you as much as we do, please subscribe, rate and write a review so we can get the podcast out to even more people!

Dive in and see what is the difference between both and find out how you can evolve to make a change.“Growth within can shift this world towards peace”What Seane’s life would be like without community and yoga: (00:17:41)Community and yoga are very important to Seane and she is convinced that her life would have gone in many other undesired directions without them. In the community she was very fortunate to come across “disguised angels” that helped her find her a practice and her path. Discover how both Seane’s personal and professional life have thrived and why sometimes it is convenient for her to stay away from the community.“Community is everything to me and at the same time, I have to stay away from it” Awareness of different opportunities: (00:22:35) Seane talks about the importance of perception and choice. There are many things we cannot change but we can change the perception to what is in a way that empowers our growth and builds our capacity for empathy and compassion.“There is not a single experience that can not open you to the depth of your love” The importance of holding ourselves accountable to our privileges (00:28:17)Seane recommends if you want to dismantle the systems that create oppression, you've got to dismantle the systems that exist within yourself. She firmly believes that our reactive behaviour comes from inherited belief systems passed down from generation to generation that haven't been reconciled, and shares what we should do in order to change it.“I can change racism within by bearing witness to it, breathing deep and making a new choice”How Seane takes advantage of her privilege to help others: (00:37:22) Seane thinks that the best she can do with her privilege and platform is provide people with real education, tools of integration to be able to deal with what comes up emotionally, and a reframe in their way of understanding so they can stand in the presence of difference without judging. She refers to everything being connected to yoga.“It is about us getting reeducated to be able to show up in our service with more humility”Seane’s book:Revolution of the Soul: Awaken to Love Through Raw Truth, Radical Healing, and Conscious Action: https://amz.run/3cM2 Mentioned resources “Disguised angels”:Sharon Gannon - David Life> Jivamukti Yoga Eddie Stern> Ashtanga YogaConnect with Seane:Website: https://www.seanecorn.com/ Revolution Within - Seane’s safe space for emotional transformational work https://seanecorn.com/online-classes/ Off the Mat, Into the World - Seane’s organization training leaders worldwide in social change: https://www.offthematintotheworld.org/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SeaneCorn/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seanecorn/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/SeaneCornYoga Join the Inspired Evolution Community:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InspiredEvolution/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/InspiredEvo/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/InspiredEvolution/ Website: https://inspiredevolution.com/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Quotes“Anytime that I’m out of sync, or need to be checked, I’m checking myself.” - Synmia Rosine x Our Nature“It’s very important that we understand that what has happened this year is beautiful in a way that: this is not sustainable. This way of thinking. This way of farming. This way of eating. This way of loving...it’s not sustainable.” - Synmia Rosine x Our Nature“We were all dealt a certain hand of cards, and some hands are better than others - for sure. But that’s none of our business.

Relevance of Revolution within the communities of 1903 to today in 2020. The purpose of this episode to remind listeners to take advantage of tapping into the $800 billion industry of self-education. The learning industry has changed and those not paying attention will be left behind.

Yael Zeira talks about her new book The Revolution Within State Institutions and Unarmed Resistance in Palestine with Marc Lynch. Her book examines who engages in resistance activities through an in-depth study of unarmed resistance against Israeli rule in the Palestinian Territories over more than a decade. "The main question that inspired me to write this book is: 'Why do some people participate in risky anti regime resistance while other often pretty similar people abstain?' And this is both a classic question about collective action— and at the same time, a very human question about why ordinary people do extraordinary things." Zeira is the Croft Assistant Professor of Political Science and International Studies at the University of Mississippi. Previously, she was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Empirical Studies of Conflict Program and the Center for Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law at Stanford University.

We’re at an unprecedented moment in history when women are so engaged and enraged we’ve never really held so much power to shape the future, according to Denise Barack, moderator and curator of The Revolution Within: Women’s Week at Kripalu, November 10-15. In our conversation, Denise talks about what to expect if you attend, because this is not your typical yoga retreat. It’s a call to action, Denise says, because for there to be change outside, it has to happen within first. Kripalu has long been known as a place to cultivate your inner resources in a nourishing environment that supports transformation. The 5-day program will feature some of the most prominent yoga teachers, civil rights activists, artists, and speakers, but the focus will also be on the diverse voices of participants with the ultimate goal of bringing about lasting collective change.

You owe it to the universe to BE who you ARE. Dian Griesel can help you with her Silver Disobedience Playbook. And - Let's all meet at Kripalu in November for Women's Week - the Revolution Within!

Progress towards women's empowerment and gender equality in Ukraine is one of the most exciting changes taking place since the revolution in 2014. In this episode of Fatima's Hand, we talk with Olena Yena, one of the architects of the strategy guiding these transformations by creating the conditions for equal partnerships in governmental and societal reform. Episode 5 of Fatima's Hand holds many lessons for other countries where women are waking up to the reality that they don't have as much power as they thought, but are willing to fight to change things - in themselves, their culture and their country.

This episode features Michelle Chase, who joins us to discuss her fascinating new book, Revolution Within the Revolution: Women and Gender Politics in Cuba, 1952-1962 (University of North Carolina Press, 2015). The book is a rich and nuanced history of women's participation in the movements of resistance that began in the immediate aftermath of Fulgencio Batista's coup d'etat in 1952—resistance that culminated in the overthrow of Batista in the Cuban revolution of 1959. Eschewing both official top-down narratives of women's liberation as well as anti-communist accounts of women's cooptation, Revolution Within the Revolution demonstrates that women's activism and leadership was critical at every stage of the revolutionary process. It also centers urban activism in the years leading up to the Cuban Revolution, and reveals how focusing on the city changes our understanding of how the Revolution evolved and triumphed. What's more, the book is also a history of how notions of gender roles in Cuba at midcentury—questions of marriage and family, of masculinity and femininity—were both defined by and came to define the revolutionary moment, dialectically shaping the strategy of both revolutionaries and counter-revolutionaries, men and women alike.

One of the things you notice right away from our next guest when you meet her may be her purple, curly hair or her infectious laugh or if you’re lucky it might be a sample of her delicious organic green popcorn she’s offering you. The story of how this Florida-raised actress turned hippie turned entrepreneur is sure to capture your heart and your imagination.  Shawnee’s adventures through the 70’s and the 80’s are reminiscent of the Forrest Gump movie with her seeming to be everywhere at the right time.

As the repression of the state comes down on those protesting against the recent elections, voices -- especially from the West -- are all but predicting the imminent fall of the Islamic Republic of Iran. They compare it to the Iranian Revolution of 1979, when forces arrayed against the dictatorial rule of the Shah, a key U.S. ally, brought down the House of Pahlavi. Is this the same as that? To answer that question requires far more than emotion. It requires study, insight and clear vision, qualities that seem sorely lacking in too much of the corporate media these days. Iranian scholar, Faridah Farhi, in her book, States and urban-based Revolutions: Iran and Nicaragua (Univ. of IL Press, 1990) found one factor was crucial in the success of a modern day agrarian society's revolutions: "....the incapacitation of administrative and military machineries" (.p8) Other elements at work in revolutionary situations are the existence of "intermediate classes" in society which find economic and traditional centers of Iranian life, the bazaars, the clergy existed, amassing wealth and social power, independent of -- and opposed to __ the state. These 90.000 clergy formed the core of Khomeini's revolt against the Shah, and therefore had the organizational and ideological wherewithal to steer the growing movement to their ends. They also had a powerful symbol in the Ayatollah Khomeini. There were other factors - popular mobilizations of the poor, for example -- but without many of the other factors, the chances of a revolution are limited, at best. The country's administrative and military machineries may be many things, but incapacitated they are not. When the Shah fled Iran, the military and administration was both isolated and deeply loathed by the people. When popular upsurges came, many joined the people's side. The major opposition figure of Khomeini, present in 1979, does not now exist (or isn't evident) in today's Iran. And it is quite unlikely that Mir Hossain Mousavi, who is being urged on by Westerners, will play that role. He was one of a very few found acceptable to run by the governing council, headed by Ayatollah A. Khamenei. This suggest he was, like Ahmadinejad, a veteran of the 1979 Revolution, and thus trusted by the clergy. If he learned anything from the Revolution, it was that there's little profit in betraying the revolution. So, unless things change drastically (and that is possible), this is not a revolutionary moment. Demonstrations, standing alone, do not a revolution make. They may be a harbinger of things to come, but as Dr. Huey P. Newton once said, they take "sterner stuff." --(c) 6/24/09 (c) '09 Mumia Abu-Jamal
