Where do you belong? Where are your edges of belonging? Belonging/not belonging is a universal and intimate experience that shapes our identities, self-confidence, rebellion and personal evolution. In Episode 2 of Tension of Emergence, Jennifer speaks with poet and theologian Pádraig Ó'Tuama about belonging and how it's shaped by language through politics, theology and recent national events like Brexit. At the heart of this conversation, Pádraig and Jennifer discuss: how language became a source of rebellion and relief as he navigated exclusion and belonging in beloved places and institutions;the importance of truth-telling to name and liberate what's inconvenient and difficult; andhow  to create places where we all belong.At the end, Jennifer offers a practice to help explore and cultivate belonging and inclusion in daily life. Pádraig Ó'Tuama is the author of many books including In the Shelter: Finding a Home in the World, Readings from the Book of Exile and Borders and Belonging: The Book of Ruth, A Story for our Times with Glenn Jordan. He hosts the popular Poetry Unbound podcast with OnBeing Studios and The Corrymeela Podcast. Most recently Pádraig was the poet in residence at the Morton Deutsch International Centre for Cooperation and Conflict Resolution at Columbia University. Links & Resources-To learn more about Pádraig's writing and work you can visit his website here.Stay in touch with Jennifer's work and offerings to support your path of emergence by subscribing here or by following her on Instagram.Show music by the talented Jordy Walker

Pádraig Ó Tuama is a friend, teacher, and colleague to the work of On Being. But before that was true, Krista took a revelatory trip to meet him at his home in Northern Ireland, a place that has known sectarianism and violent fracture and has evolved, not to perfection, yet to new life and once unimaginable repair and relationship. Our whole world screams of fracture, more now than when Krista sat with Pádraig in 2016. This conversation is a gentle, welcoming landing for pondering and befriending hard realities we are given. As the global educator Karen Murphy, another friend of On Being and of Pádraig, once said to Krista: “Let's have the humility and the generosity to step back and learn from these places that have had the courage to look at themselves and look at where they've been and try to forge a new path with something that resembles ‘together' … Right now we should be taking these stories and these examples and these places and filling our pockets and our lungs and our hearts and our minds with them and learning deeply.” And that's what this hour with Pádraig invites.Pádraig Ó Tuama is a theologian, writer, and conflict transformation practitioner.

Where to turn to find my place of standing when it feels like the world is on fire? This question surfaced in a public conversation Krista had just a couple of years ago with Pádraig Ó Tuama and Marilyn Nelson, two poet-contemplatives. Pádraig weaves together social healing, poetry, and theology. Marilyn is a lyrical excavator of stories that would rather stay hidden — yet as she coaxes them into the light, they lead to new life. This conversation is a pleasure and balm, and a reminder that the ruptures and unease and reckonings of what we call “this moment” were all before us before the pandemic. Pádraig and Marilyn's offerings are beyond wise, and distinctly tender and powerful for this now.Pádraig Ó Tuama is the host of On Being's Poetry Unbound podcast.

Shelter Insurance is unlike many companies because it views each person as a valuable contributor rather than just an employee. This company wants to celebrate its employees and the accomplishments of each. The current platform used to nominate and highlight employees is outdated and run its course. With the work and feedback from employees, Shelter has developed a new appreciation platform to match exactly what employees want. Paul LaRose and Stacye Smith have overseen the entire project and stop by the podcast to give the details about what it is and how employees are going to love it.

Poetry rises up in human societies in times of crisis when official words fail us and we lose sight of how to find our way back to one another; how to hear each other’s voices. This week we offer a preview of the next season of our Poetry Unbound podcast, which returns on Monday, Sept. 28. Each episode takes a single poem as its center, with host Pádraig Ó Tuama reading the poem and meditating on it. In this hour, we dwell with six poems that accompany the struggle, strangeness, and possibilities of being alive in this time. Subscribe to Poetry Unbound on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Overcast, or wherever you listen.Find the transcript for this show at onbeing.org.Pádraig Ó Tuama is the staff poet and theologian at The On Being Project and hosts the Poetry Unbound podcast.

There is an Irish saying that it is in the shelter of each other than we live, but in our fragmented, urban societies it can be difficult to find, or offer, shelter to each other. Pádraig Ó Tuama draws on everyday stories, poetry, gospel reflections and Celtic spirituality to open up ways we can make our lives a place of welcome, both for ourselves and others, and live well together in a troubled world. Recorded 7 February 2016.
