DEBORAH EDEN TULL, founder of Mindful Living Revolution, teaches the integration of compassionate awareness into every aspect of our lives, bridging personal and collective awakening in an age of global change. She is an engaged Buddhist teacher, spiritual activist, author, eco-dharma educator, and facilitator of The Work That Reconnects, a field created by Buddhist scholar and eco-philosopher Joanna Macy for transforming our love and pain for our world into compassionate action. Eden teaches dharma intertwined with post-patriarchal thought and practices, resting upon a lived knowledge of our unity with the more than human world. She has practiced meditation for 30 years and  trained for seven and a half years as a Buddhist monk at the Zen Monastery Peace Center, a silent Zen monastery in the Sierra foothills. She has been teaching for over 20 years. Eden's teaching emphasizes relational presence, acknowledging the personal, interpersonal, intrapersonal, transpersonal, societal, ecological, mystical, and global impacts of embodied dharma. She has worked with a wide range of audiences, from dharma students and spiritual teachers to those practicing or teaching secular mindfulness, to concerned citizens, activists, leaders, and change agents, to parents, schools, inner city youth, nonprofits, corporations, and people who are incarcerated. Eden taught for many years with UCLA's Mindful Awareness Research Center, and has been collaborating with Nina Simons, co-founder of Bioneers since 2012, on the topics of Regenerative Leadership, Women's Leadership, and Sacred Activism. She is also a member of the national Eco-Dharma Advisory Committee of Buddhist teachers and leaders in the eco-dharma movement. Eden has a special gift for facilitating mindful inquiry and fierce compassion, and bridging personal, ancestral, and collective healing. Weaving dharma with her embodiment of animism, deep ecology, shadow work, somatic awareness, ancestral healing, and conscious movement/dance, she helps people release limiting beliefs and collective biases that have been passed down over generations. She draws upon her own experience of navigating loss, illness, and trauma, guiding people to embrace the mystery and celebrate the value and alchemy of light and darkness as teachers of love. Having lived in or taught about sustainable communities and organic gardening/permaculture for decades, Eden weaves the essential wisdom of nature into everything she teaches. She currently resides in the mountains of western North Carolina, originally Cherokee land, with her husband Mark. She offers retreats, workshops, and consultations nationally and internationally, integrating presence and partnership with nature. Eden feels that the most important aspect of being a teacher is continually being a student. She continually immerses herself in trainings and retreats, recognizing direct experience as our truest guide. She works closely with mentor Pam Weiss, author of A Bigger Sky: Awakening a Fierce Feminine Buddhism, to deepen her embodiment of Soto Zen Buddhism in the lineage of Suzuki Roshi.

When the world gets chaotic and uncertain, we need spiritual practice more than ever—not just to sustain our souls and restore our inner peace, but to recharge and prepare ourselves to take on challenges with effective action. A few years ago, Philip Goldberg, the author of “Spiritual Practice in Crazy Times” and host of the Spirit Matters podcast. interviewed twelve spiritual leaders to help us get through the pandemic. We're now re-releasing the interviews as an encore series, because the messages are as relevant today as when they first aired. Renowned author and expert on the world's mystical traditions, Andrew Harvey, tells us how we can thrive spiritually while also helping birth a new humanity in this perilous time for our planet. The founder and director of The Institute of Sacred Activism, Andrew invites concerned people around the world to take up the challenge of our global crises by becoming inspired, effective, and practical agents of change in order to create peace and sustainability.

Mamala Sekhmet as I began to call Kamala and Tim, the embodiment of the Sacred Masculine, are the topics of today's final show of Voices of the Sacred Feminine on Blog Talk. Listen as I talk about the gift they've both given us.  All we need do is recognize it and grasp it in our minds and hearts.  As for this being the final show, it's been a long run here, since 2009, but you might recall I mentioned in past shows the Blog Talk internet platform, home for podcasts, is ceasing to exist, so my show has to move and I'll give you those specifics at the end of this episode.  

Bringing diverse voices for peace, this episode is a special gem exploring the question ‘How can collective prayer create ripples that transform the world?'   In this final, heartfelt episode of the year, Ripples Collective shares their voices in a truly unique and tender way. Together they weave a moment of beauty and reflection gently infused with music, care and love. Ripples Collective is a group of Palestinian and Israeli non-violent activists, artists, and heart-led humans working together in connection, strength and love to embody another possibility.   Together we explore: :: How music and ritual hold the power to transform our lives and communities :: What personal journeys have shaped the voices of Ripples Collective :: How activism and spirituality come together to forge a new path forward :: What stories emerge from Gaza and the West Bank and how they reveal an alternative reality :: What the significance of song and collective prayer is in creating unity and hope :: How we can navigate divisiveness to find common ground :: How the power of collective dreams can envision a better future :: How to honour the old while imagining and creating the new :: How the notion of home is rooted in a sense of belonging  We hope that this piece called ‘Embodying Another Possibility‘ brings forth a feeling hope of and a collective prayer for Freedom, Dignity, Equality, Safety, Justice, Compassion, Solidarity and Peace rippling out far and beyond.   Links from this episode and more at allthatweare.org

If you're a fan of Star Trek, you remember the Borg.  The Borg who assimilated everyone.  No one could think for themselves.  Everyone was a loyalist to The Queen. (Interesting how they made the Ultimate Evil a female!)  Their subject's brains were taken over and the conquered just became mindless robots for the Borg Collective.  Well, I see similarities in what's happening now. But Resistance Is Not Futile!  The Borg just wants you to think it is.  Tune in and hear the beginning of my Resistance Checklist which you can do anonymously from your home or loud and proud and visible.  There's something for everyone as they say.  

Remember that satirical comedy by the producers of The Good Wife and Elsbeth, Michelle and Robert King, titled BrainDead?  It was good for a reliable belly laugh each week. It was smart and insightful.  Well, today I'm going to take the premise of that old gem and put a new twist on it.  Just who are the ET insects eating the brains of humans out there?

SummaryLife is impermanent. Precious but not entitled to length. The past is behind us, the future is unknown & all we have is this moment. Our role is to meet the moment.Being overwhelmed with the assignment of bringing healing & protection to the earth, todays guest looked to Gaia as the source of guidance towards effortless harmony. Easier said than done but she found that our cultural inclination to constant self referencing & focussing on I, Me, Mine was the limitation. Looking beyond the veil into another dimension & awakening her relationship to the earth allowed her to thread humility into all her actions & remembering that we are part of & conspiring with gaia in every living moment gave her the space to take a breath before acting.She meditatedShe took the radical act of pausing to gain clarityShe had  the courage to step out of the old patterns She undertook pilgrimagesShe built global networks of healing & peaceShe honoured those who are maintaining the ceremonies, prayers & connections that keep us all in balance.She filled Earth Treasure vases and built a global mandala as her offering of  'sacred activism'.This is her story.Links You'll LoveJoanna Macey - the work that reconnectsCharles Eisenstein - new and ancient story podcastCynthia Jurs Book - Summoned by the EarthGaiamandala.net global healing communityLoved this ep?

Jurs has been on a 30-year worldwide trek to join elders, activists, and diverse communities to ceremonially bury Earth Treasure Vases around the planet in service to Gaia. This practice is deeply rooted in the feminine, honoring indigenous traditions, and the teachings of an embodied, engaged, sacred activism dedicated to global healing and collective awakening. Cynthia Jurs is a Dharmacharya in the Order of Interbeing of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. In 2018, she was made an Honorary Lama in recognition of her dedication in the practice of Earth Treasure Vases and her commitment in relationship with elders, activists, and diverse communities to ceremonially bury the clay vases all around the planet in service to Gaia. Jurs offers monthly full moon meditations, retreats, and pilgrimages through the Gaia Mandala Global Healing Community. She is the author of: Summoned by the Earth: Becoming a Holy Vessel for Healing Our World (Prospecta Press 2024)Interview Date: 5/24/2024 Tags: Cynthia Jurs, Earth Treasure Vases, Tibetan clay vases, Thich Nhat Hanh, Charok Rinpoche, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Gaia Mandala Global Healing Community, full moon meditations, Ganges, samsara, Buddhist Dakini Tara, The Buddha, Personal Transformation, Ecology/Nature/Environment, Community, Indigenous Wisdom, Buddhism, Global Culture

Today I'm delighted to be joined in conversation by Cynthia Jurs, author of Summoned By The Earth: Becoming a Holy Vessel For Healing Our World.Like many of us, Cynthia found herself witnessing the suffering of the earth & felt the deep longing to help & the urgent question, “What can I do, how can I bring healing to the Earth?” Her incredible book, documents the unfolding of her journey.In this beautiful conversation we explore the wisdom that she has gathered from her pilgrimage, that began with a Tibetan Lama in the Himalayas and has traversed the earth, embracing & being welcomed by diverse cultures & in co-creation with many treasured Indigenous Elders, who have generously shared their own wisdom traditions. She shares the stories of some of the Earth Treasure Vases from being joined by the Whales in Mexico whilst offering healing after a Hurricane, to Mali & Liberia where people were finding their way to healing their collective trauma after a difficult civil war & the incredible experience connecting to the Nilotic Meridian in South Africa & Egypt. We dive into the often underestimated power of Intention & our need to act from a place of love. How we must learn to step outside the paradigm that created the world we currently witness & find courage to lean into the radical act to stop, set down the fear & urgency & drop into our true nature of deep caring, love & connection, allowing the space for the powerful co-creation of what will be, to rise, free of our expectation & attachment. Sacred Activism is the radical act that may just be the key to open the door within us, that we have all been searching for. The Earth is calling us all and we all have our roles to play. Make sure you stay to the end of the episode so you can join us in meditation & pour your loving intention for healing into the Gaia Mandala to become a healing force for good in our world.Learn more about CynthiaCynthia Jurs became a dharma teacher (Dharmacharya) in the Order of Interbeing of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh in 1994 and in 2018, was made an honorary lama in the Vajrayana tradition of Tibetan Buddhism in recognition of her dedication in carrying out the Earth Treasure Vase practice.

The most pressing question in these uncertain times may be how can we bring healing and protection to the Earth?Join me this episode the explore this question that Cynthia Jurs carried with her in 1990 as she climbed a path high in the Himalayas, to meet an “old wise man in a cave”—a venerated lama from Nepal. This question is the centre for both her work, her book, 'Summoned by the Earth', and our conversation - sharing her journeys around the world, from Australian Indigenous communities to the USA. And Cynthia's way of reaching the answer is through practice and acknowledging the importance of listening to the Earth and developing a relationship with nature  - to go outside, connect with the natural world, and ask how you can be of service.Cynthia became a dharma teacher (Dharmacharya) in the Order of Interbeing of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh in 1994 and in 2018, was made an honorary lama in the Vajrayana tradition of Tibetan Buddhism in recognition of her dedication in carrying out the Earth Treasure Vase practice.

"What has gone wrong on a major scale that human beings aren't relishing life?" Brothers & sisters, are you ready for that FIRE energy?! Today I'm speaking with Chrissie Fire Mane. Co-Founder of MANA, Chrissie has always been guided by the excitement of empowering people to be creators. Named 'chaqaruna' or Bridge-Person by the Q'ero, Wisdom Keepers of the Andes, Chrissie's north star is activating and rewilding humanity with modern and indigenous wisdom, reminding people of what is already inside but forgotten or suppressed. Chrissie has been facilitating transformational weekends, workshops and retreats around the world intensively since 2012, moving online also in 2017. The journey of motherhood has greatly shaped Chrissie's path, raising her two wild children travelling the world and sitting in sacred ceremonies, learning from elders. She has roots in activism, beginning at Greenpeace in the Press Office in the UK in 2000, combining her passions for communications with service, has launched numerous campaigns in frontline activism mainly in water conservation and more recently served on the New Earth Council as part of the Humanitad Foundation. As an artist, Chrissie was signed to Virgin Records, has toured and created albums and continues to use her love of poetry, singing and frequency to complement her style of leadership. Her spiritual path led her to the Peruvian Andes in 2012 where she was initiated as Chullu Chaqera, or Sweat Lodge Mama Qona in 2017. Simply, Chrissie draws from conscious motherhood and indigenous tradition to inspire her community back to the natural truth of things. I'm in awe of the polarity of Chrissie's being, the open-heartedness AND stability, power and discernment that she brings into the world. Let me know how this co-creation lands with you. I love that you're here.

How can we flourish new forms of activism and leadership to create collective liberation? In this episode entitled The Art Of Activism Amisha Talks with Ebyän Zanini, a writer, visual storyteller, and poetess of Somali-Italian descent. She is the founder of ‘Mother Tongue' and teaches at the intersection of decolonisation, eco-sensuality, and feminine mysticism. Ebyän's offerings are deeply inspired by the animist spirituality of her Nubian ancestral heritage weaving us closer to the enchantment that is available in all Life.   We explore  :: antidotes to oppressive systems  :: ‘medicines' of collective liberation :: redefining activism into forms of daily practice and art as activism :: harnessing guilt and shame as powerful emotions to guide us through transitions and birthing new worlds :: collective expansion of resilience :: non-binary consciousness :: how to be a sacred activist at a time of genocide  Links from this episode and more at allthatweare.org  

In this podcast episode titled, "Whose Land Do You Stand Upon? Eight Ways to Blend Your Sacred Activism with Your Spirituality and Help Deconstruct Toxic Ideologies," Rev Karla begins by reflecting on the false narratives and indoctrination prevalent during her upbringing in the 1960s, particularly regarding the Thanksgiving story and the mistreatment of Native Americans.   Rev Karla emphasizes the importance of deconstructing ingrained beliefs and recognizing the interconnectedness of spirituality and activism. She highlights the significance of November as Native American Heritage Month and the need to honor and understand the historical injustices suffered by Native Americans.   Throughout the episode, she shares insights on how to blend sacred activism with spirituality, encouraging mindful action, the study of contemplative practices, engaging in dialogues with those connected to Native American heritage, and exploring the inner work required for personal growth, healing, and meaningful activism.   You can listen to this podcast on all streaming platforms, watch the uncut version on YouTube, or read more from Rev Karla about this in this week's https://revkarla.com/podcast/   For more information and support along your spiritual journey visit our links below ↓  IG → https://www.instagram.com/revkarla/ TT → https://www.tiktok.com/@revkarla FB → https://www.facebook.com/reverendkarla/ Buy Rev Karla a Tea → https://www.buymeacoffee.com/revkarla   Shop Rev Karla's Online Store: shop.revkarla.com   *Podcast Channels*  Apple → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/spirituality-matters-with-rev-karla/id1532612816 Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/6YCTW5kdJW0BIaKwTAp5jO Google → https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL3NwaXJpdHVhbGl0eW1hdHRlcnMvZmVlZC54bWw   To submit questions for Rev Karla's Podcast email us → spiritualitymatters@revkarla.com    #podcast #spiritualitymatters #exvangelcial #exchristian #spiritualnotreligious #spiritual #spirituality #revkarla #leavingchurch #theology #religioustrauma #leavingchristianity #deconstructingfaith #religiouspatriarchy #nativeamericanhistorymonth 

UNDAUNTED: Carolyn Baker We know that countless humans are reeling with climate anxiety and experiencing fear, anger, grief, despair, dread, and understandably attempting to cope with the reality of potential human extinction with massive amounts of denial. This conversation offers an alternative to being consumed with either denial or despair. At its core is the existential issue of climate catastrophe and how to live into it with compassionate, clear-eyed, vibrant, awakened intention. To be 'undaunted' is the realization that we all will face moments of despair going forward, but knowledge and discovery of skills and practices for living in the face of humanity's most unprecedented ordeals. Carolyn Baker brings forth a conversation as a wise elder and scared steward of not only our world, but also our humanity. Carolyn Baker, Ph.D. is the author of Dark Gold: The Human Shadow And The Global Crisis (2016) and Love In The Age Of Ecological Apocalypse: The Relationships We Need To Thrive (2015). With Andrew Harvey, she has co-authored Return To Joy (2016) and Savage Grace: Living Resiliently In The Dark Night Of The Globe (2017), and Saving Animals From Ourselves: Healing The Divine Animal Within (2019). Her previous books include Collapsing Consciously: Transformative Truths For Turbulent Times (2013); Navigating The Coming Chaos: A Handbook For Inner Transition (2011) and Sacred Demise: Walking The Spiritual Path Of Industrial Civilization's Collapse (2009). She lives and writes in Boulder, Colorado and manages her website www.carolynbaker.net . A former psychotherapist and professor of psychology and history, Carolyn offers life and leadership coaching as well as spiritual counseling for people who want to live more resiliently in the present as they prepare for the future. Carolyn works closely with Andrew Harvey and other spiritual luminaries to live and promote Sacred Activism---the marriage of effecting change in the world with consciousness transformation. With Andrew Harvey in 2022 she is publishing Radical Regeneration: Sacred Activism and The Renewal of The World. Learn more about Simran here: www.iamsimran.com www.1111mag.com/

Marilyn Rosenbrock Nyborg, Sacred Activist, author of A Woman's Guide to Sacred Activism and co-founder of Gather the Women and Global Matrix gives listeners the ABC's of sacred activism:  What is it?  Is it religious?  Why Women?  Do you have to be an Extravert to participate?  How to incorporate your anger.  How to change people's minds.  Why this is different than men's approach at activism.  

I share of my personal experiences of using different types of Sacred Activism, from when I was a young child to an example of a Ritual I used to protect local foxes, (the latter had incredibly positive effects both on me and local 'activity')! I have a conversation with Anna Shepherd from the Cleaner Clootie Campaign, which aims to educate and inspire people to leave either nothing or a biodegradable clooties at wells and sacred sites. She also lives in Dorset and is a traditional Witch and Tarot 'wizard'! I share a sacred Oracle of the episode which is perfectly fitted to the theme of the episode. Let me know how you find it!

Humanity is poised on a threshold that could be described as a global dark night of the soul. This global crisis is not asking us to simply “make things better” or invent new ways of living. It's demanding that we surrender to a transformation so radical that we become a new variety of the human species. Our assignment is to become sacred activists. Carolyn Baker, Ph.D. was a psychotherapist in private practice and a college professor of psychology and history. Now through her webinars, podcasts, live workshops, books, and articles, as well as one-on-one life coaching, Carolyn is touching the lives of thousands to assist them in deeply adapting and becoming resilient in the face of the unprecedented changes confronting humanity. She works closely with Andrew Harvey for the Institute for Sacred Activism.

With all of the challenges globally, whether it be war, inflation, economic collapse, post-pandemic stress, and so much more, how can we remain in a state of hope? Today Lisa continues her conversation with scholar and activist Andrew Harvey. Andrew Harvey is an internationally renowned religious scholar, writer, teacher, and the author of more than 30 books. He is the founder and director of the Institute for Sacred Activism, an international organization focused on inviting people to take up the challenge of our global crises through inspiration and effectiveness, toward practical change in a peaceful way. He explains how the “global dark night” is part of an evolutionary process and how its very intensity makes it the potential way to discover a new embodied, divine humanity. He shares his ideas about “Radical Regeneration” and how the current global crisis is not asking us to simply “make things better” or invent new ways of living. It is demanding that we surrender to a transformation so radical that we become a new variety of the human species. He discusses how ideas evolved from his four most recent books he wrote with co-author Carolyn Baker from 2016-2021. In his book, “The Hope: A Guide to Sacred Activism,” he describes sacred activism as a marriage of spirituality and activism and how, without a spiritual path, the activist may become egotistical and devoid of inspiration, therefore resulting in burnout and despair. Without passion, an individual who follows only their spiritual path may become isolated and ultimately irrelevant. Sacred Activism seeks to integrate devotion to something greater than oneself with the need to make a difference in the world, as well as developing a profound, powerful, sacred consciousness, which we are all capable of achieving.

How can we begin to look at the immense challenges in the world today and feel a sense of hope? For most, it may seem to be completely overwhelming, but according to today's guest, scholar and activist Andrew Harvey, there are many ways to bring about change. Andrew Harvey is an internationally renowned religious scholar, writer, teacher, and the author of more than 30 books. He is the founder and director of the Institute for Sacred Activism, an international organization focused on inviting people to take up the challenge of our global crises through inspiration and effectiveness, toward practical change in a peaceful way. Today he discusses how ideas evolved from his four most recent books he wrote with co-author Carolyn Baker from 2016-2021. He deeply discusses how Sacred Activism -- specifically, creative, wise, sacredly inspired action -- offers an antidote to the crises facing our world. He believes that we can create in a much more just, much more harmonious way and essentially birth a new humanity. This is Part 1 of the interview. Info: AndrewHarvey.net

They then explore the antidotes to these crises: Sacred Activism--specifically, creative, wise, sacredly inspired action--and a profound understanding of our evolutionary ordeal and its potentialities. Examining the power of joy to help enact personal and planetary transformation, they explain how joy, or ananda, is a force all mystical traditions recognize as the essence of the Divine. They reveal how to uncover and sustain joy in ourselves and how to use joy as fuel for continuing Sacred Activism in dangerous times.Drawing on the visionary teachings of mystics such as Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and Sri Aurobindo, the authors show how the global dark night is part of an evolutionary mutation process and how its very intensity makes it the potential seedbed of a new embodied, divine humanity. They offer practical maps of the crises, of the shadows that this global dark night is casting, and of the four-part path to transfiguration drawn from mystical traditions. Sharing a vision of a new and focused global moment of love in action, the authors reveal that apocalypse is not inevitable--if enough people awaken to the extraordinary possibilities of Sacred Activism.Andrew Harvey is an internationally renowned religious scholar, writer, spiritual teacher, and the author of more than 30 books.
