In this episode,  we are deeply honored to speak with the illuminating and illustrious Sophie Strand.  She is an Author, Poet, Neo-Troubadour Animist, and Compost Heap "with a propensity to spin yarns that inevitably turn into love stories. Give her a salamander and a stone and she'll write you a love story."Content/Trigger Warning: In this episode, Sophie shares openly that she experienced trauma and sexual abuse as a child.  Please be in touch with your feelings and take care of your heart while listening.  Know who you can reach out to if you become upset.We discover that our bodies and nervous systems are doorways... openings...portals for stories...We honor how Rot- Compost- is the womb of life.  We find how we can generate life from a messWe look through kaleidoscopes to see something differently and strengthen our empathy muscleWe are challenged to become the vehicle, to don the costumes of other storiesWe get over ourselves, find out it's not all about humans, and get inside the myriad of worlds spinning around usWe agree that nothing can exist in a vacuum…we are all symbiotically connected, and mushrooms are masters of thisWe are assured that ecological awareness is deeply tied to our ability to adapt and surviveToday is sponsored by radical cahooting!!!Sophie Strand is a writer based in the Hudson Valley who focuses on the intersection of spirituality, storytelling, and ecology. But it would probably be more authentic to call her a neo-troubadour animist with a propensity to spin yarns that inevitably turn into love stories. Give her a salamander and a stone and she'll write you a love story. Sophie was raised by house cats, puffballs, possums, raccoons, and an opinionated, crippled goose. In every neighborhood she's ever lived in she has been known as “the walker”. She believes strongly that all thinking happens interstitially – between beings, ideas, differences, mythical gradients.Personal Websitewww.sophiestrand.comSocial Media linkInstagram: @cosmogynySocial Media linkhttps://www.facebook.com/sophie.strand1/The Last Song of the Kauai O' o Bird Birdsong linkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRaC2Rx3BVY -----Support Caravan of the HeartMore about Caravan of the HeartA podcast...a blisscast, a variety show for the soul by Troubadours of Divine Bliss, Aim Me Smiley & Renee Ananda, a touring folk music duo, inspirational speakers, retreat leaders, and advocates for this planet and its people.On this podcast, we have heart-to-heart conversations around freeing our dreams and amplifying love in all things.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk. You’ll recognize yourself in these true-life stories from women who are walking their lives while their lives walk them and the lasting difference these journeys have made. I’m your host, Diane Wyzga. Welcome back to Part 2 of my conversation with my guest Dr. Myriam Hadnes, founder of Workshops Work who joined us from Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Like many of us Dr. Hadnes was on a successful professional track when Life threw her a curveball transforming her from behavioral economist to noted podcaster, workshop facilitator and coach of facilitators. I asked Dr. Hadnes: “What do you offer as a facilitator that’s different?” Let’s hear what she has to say.Minutes 30:5100: to 1:48     Intro1:48 to 6:51     Q: What do you offer as a facilitator that’s different?She brings a new edge to facilitationIs not a traditional facilitator; it’s what you grow into and a path you chooseBrings behavioral sciencesBrings understanding and curiosity about human behaviorPrevious experience in making better decisions and get out of own unhealthy, unhelpful wayThis personal experience is her super-powerShe shows how to help groups of individuals to step out of own way, communicate better, collaborate betterToday: is interviewing facilitators doing good work and was pushed to became a coach of the coaches to help others facilitate their workshopsCraving community and does not want to to compete with those she liftsHer value add after 100 podcast episodes has the knowledge of the conversations to generate ideas, new edgeBasically these guests were her mentors to make a workshop workTook natural talents abilities, gifts and transformed those into Workshops Work in which gathered together a collective of like-minded people who shared knowledge with her; they taught her and now she’s sharing, training others in the calling and casting net6:51 to 8:50     Mission & Global IntentionHer mission: she’s convinced we can change world 1 workshop at a timeBelieves we need better communication/collaboration - which happens in workshopsHelps educators, trainers, spouses etc become better facilitators of conversations .Her global intention comes back to looking for ways to facilitate good conversations in home, community, school, and whatever spaces we are inhabitingImperative to look for ways to encourage good conversations all over8:50 to 16:45     Q: How do you get people to do that?A mindset shift; as a facilitator you don’t have stakes in outcome but the curiosity and trust that the group has the answers; they just need someone to ask the right questions  and help them articulateFacilitator “yes-ands” what they hear, thinks outside box, sets boundaries to make sense of what’s coming up, prioritizesIn homes, “yes-anding” and listening to understand, not reply and trust some good will come out without being married to solution would change dynamics about wanting to be rightWhat if?One magic question: "How might we [    ]?" This is space where ideas emerge, creativity happensStorytelling is similar, Doug Lipman of Story Dynamics who taught us: (1) listen with deep appreciation and (2) people need stories listened out of them; that they knew the story they wanted to tell but didn’t know they knewHost calls herself "Story Doula" for that reason - I midwife storiesWe are Simpatico in visions of shifting cultures, behaviors, attitudes with “yes and”Listening to reply is default to many; listening to understand is next step; listening to appreciate is higher artHost calls it “listening to the music of the spoken word”Music as metaphorOne fact we often forget: we hear what we want to hear; we don’t control what parts of our story is heard or the reflection of our own story in the words of someone elseShe returns to the Vipassana retreats (4 or 5 by this time) and finds interesting that as she listens to a recording she’s heard before she hears differentPeople in the room also hear what they need to hearWhat if we hear something that wasn’t said?16:45 to 19:32     Q: Your testimonials are full of high-praise. What is the single-most skill you lean on as an effective facilitator?  What would be the most important tip you can offer about mindset shifts and hearing/listening?Tries to apply: "I heard this, is this what you said?" Or, "When you say this I hear that l is this what you meant?"Personal example: Are you still hungry versus are you sure you want to eat more and get fat?Became a routine, provided insights and saved other friendships and relationshipsClarify19:32 to 24:54     Q: Passion Project: Never Done Before 2020 - a Global Festival  - What It Is and How It Came to BeThe podcast community and mentors have so much to offerConferences feel old, boring, dissatisfactionWhat could we do if we were not afraid?Daringly crazy idea: what if we organized a conference - a festival - never done before: podcast guests would host workshop in a format or way never did before so participants will experience, inspire and encourageOn November 30, 2020 a 24 hour global online festival by 30 expert facilitators hosting never before done sessionsWill be launched again in November 2021 - for updates subscribe to the NDB newsletterDance with status quo and fear of failureBeing a visionary begins with being naiveIn two weeks expects it will be magic!Ask: What if?Ruth Dent: “... and then, after looking back and seeing how far you've come, look forward and see / imagine how far you can go.” as told to her by Elizabeth Esteve-Coll, former Director of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.24:54 to 26:37     Q: Where do you imagine your work will take you next?  Sees this community staying, playing, co-creating togetherIn our world we have too little space to experiment with imperfection and raw ideasWants to nurture this community of facilitators to join this co-design projectImagine how many things can happen, designed and created,  when we work together!Imagine that!Please Note: Before I say thank you I want to mention that all social media links and connections to Dr. Hadnes's Workshops Work website  will be posted in the Episode Notes.

Homelessness and poverty are large societal problems. They can seem overwhelming to us. Yet, scripture tells us repeatedly that caring for the poor, the homeless and the children are central to God's mission. How can we practice bring justice and hope when we feel so helpless? Rev. Ken Maclaren, the director of Ottawa Inner City Ministries, speaks to us on the work he and his organization does for the poor of Ottawa. He also gives guidance on how we can join in this important work as everyday disciples of Jesus.Scripture Passage: Micah 6:8Preached on the First Sunday of Advent, December 1, 2019 by Rev. Ken MaclarenSermon HighlightsScripture repeatedly tells us to do small things which advance justiceWe can do small things which lead up to a big difference in people's livesJustice begins with treating people as peopleTry seeing homeless people as people rather than problemsTake time to listen to people's storiesPay attention to your own assumptionsJesus took time for people and listened to their storiesWe can have an impact if we do the sameFurther ReferenceLearn more about Ottawa Inner City MinistriesWatch a video highlighting the work OICM does See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
