Preston carries the blessings, wisdoms, and joys of his ancestors. He was born from the land of his grandmother's ancestral Wampanoag people. It is a place where his liberated Black ancestors found family and home with the local Indigenous communities. It is also the land where his mother's Cape Verdean immigrant ancestors cultivated cranberry bogs and blueberry bushes amidst deciduous forests. Though he lives on the Pacific coast, Preston honors his ancestors, the land-water spirits of Massachusetts who periodically draw him back home. Deanna Jimenez is a somatic/transpersonal psychotherapist in the San Francisco Bay Area. She is Assistant Professor in the Somatic Psychology Department at California Institute of Integral Studies and has a private practice supporting individuals, couples, and organizations.

Jahan Khamsehzadeh, Ph.D has spent two decades researching psychedelics in the context of both evolution and psychotherapy and says he “knows of no more powerful means of transforming consciousness than those that use the assistance of psychedelics.”  In this in-depth and eye-opening discussion Jahan shares a pivotal psychedelic mystical experience. He presents key scientific research into the efficacy of psychedelic therapy for depression and other health issues, why modern Western culture has had such a legal and moral antagonism towards psychedelics and the emerging therapeutic landscape which integrates academia, science and traditional shamanism. He also gives context to microdosing with psilocybin mushrooms. ---Jahan's dissertation on psychedelics in the Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness program at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) in San Francisco was later published as the book The Psilocybin Connection: Psychedelics, the Transformation of Consciousness, and Evolution of the Planet - An Integral Approach (North Atlantic Books, 2022). He graduated from the University of Arizona with a major in Philosophy and minors in both Physics and Psychology then going on to earn a master's in Consciousness and Transformative Studies from John F. Kennedy University. Additionally, Jahan has taken a comprehensive Hakomi somatic-psychotherapy training, assisted with the Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy Certificate training at CIIS for two years, mentored at the newly emerging School of Consciousness Medicine and trained in the Mazatec mushroom tradition. Currently, he works as a facilitator for legal psilocybin mushroom ceremonies in Jamaica with Atman Retreats, one of the few opportunities offered worldwide where people can legally experience psilocybin. www.psychedelicevolution.orgLiked what you heard?

Dreams often bring simple moments of magic that can make all the difference, and every dream has hidden jewels ready to be uncovered. We talk today to dream guide and professional gemologist Jane Carleton. Jane describes how she knows when a person has found the right gem for them because their bodies change and their eyes light up. This is similar to dream work when an "Aha!" will light up a dreamer often without them being able to explain it. Jane shares stories about asking for waking life magic and about using talismans to help remember the dream. She also speaks about waking life inner voice experiences and shares a moment where that voice saved her during a carjacking. We take a call from Walter who shares an intense nightmare of a boy who is attacked by two giant gems. BIO. Jane E. Carleton, MA, GG holds two graduate degrees in Dream Studies, and Consciousness and Transformative Studies and has taught graduate courses on dreams at the California Institute of Integral Studies. As a Graduate Gemologist since 1984 she pursues two careers: as a dream specialist and fine jewelry appraiser. Jane is especially interested in how simple moments of magic can make all the difference, and how all dreams have hidden jewels ready to be uncovered. She is currently writing a book that shows how dreams, inner voice experiences, and synchronistic experiences can inspire us and help us navigate challenging times.

Join us on this week's Black Doctors Talk Podcast which features our guest, Dr. Ashley N. Campbell who speaks to us on the topics of Black culture, social impact, and the importance of diversity equity and inclusion work in higher education and industry. Dr. Campbell's diverse experiences in multicultural programming, organizational development, and data analysis have positioned her to create transformative change. Currently, Dr. Campbell serves as Director of Equity and Inclusion Research and Research Education with the Office of Equity and Inclusion at the University of Rochester Medical Center. Dr. Campbell is also a faculty member within the Integral and Transpersonal Psychology Department at the California Institute of Integral Studies. In addition, Dr. Campbell serves as Global Co-Chair with the University of Rochester's Black Alumni Network and Vice-Chair for Niche Market Insights Foundation, Incorporated. During the podcast, Dr. Campbell shares how her father ignited a passion in her for Black culture and her desire to see equity in the black community. Having seen such Black excellence in her life growing in the DC area, Dr. Campbell has long been inspired to see this excellence spread throughout her community. She understood her assignment and that in order to create change she had to learn more in order to do more. Like most, she experienced challenges on her journey to the doctorate. For her it included being a mother, wife, and working full-time which caused a moment of stillness. But she shares the importance of having friends that provided encouragement, which could be as simple as “Girl get yourself together”! While Dr. Campbell describes DEI as the new “sexy” term, engaging in the work is serious and needs to be an established priority in higher education to ensure the voices of students are valued and then actions are taken in response to their needs. Dr. Campbell earned a Doctor of Philosophy in Transformative Studies from California Institute of Integral Studies; Master of Science, Education, Inclusion, and Urban Teaching & Leadership from University of Rochester; and Bachelor of Arts in English also from University of Rochester. With such a busy schedule, Dr. Campbell also leads a nonprofit alongside her husband where she resides in upstate New York.

When it comes to self-mastery, Brandie Allen has been a catalyst for many. After successfully making it through some difficult life experiences, she decided to go back to college in her 40's and earned her Master's Degree in a mental health program. Brandie still felt like there was so much she was missing in terms of how she can help people feel better. After an appalling experience in the mental health field, she was still on the search for a more complete understanding of personal development. Nine months after completing her first Master's Degree, Brandie enrolled in a second Master's program in Consciousness & Transformative Studies, one of only a handful in the world. This was the piece that she was missing. Brandie is a personal development coach and the author of The Power of SelfMastery: Changing your life through discovery, exploration, and transformation. She is now on a mission to empower and encourage as many people as possible to learn to master the self. What we discussed: How to stop keeping yourself hostage. Being more intentional while keeping your ego at bay. How to overcome a NASTY divorce: The secret and benefits of surrendering. Blocking out the noise. STOP caring what people think about you (a 45-min. nightmare butt dial). If you have a negative emotion, it's not about anything but you! Self-awareness is the foundation of finding your identity & setting yourself FREE.

Gerry Ebalaroza-Tunnell is the founder of Co3 Consulting: Co-Creating Cohesive Communities. She is a Doctoral candidate in the department of Transformative Studies and Consciousness at the California Institute of Integral Studies and identifies as a Pacific Islander born and raised on the island of O'ahu, Hawaii. Gerry is a dynamic educator who co-mingles humor and philosophy, making her teachings easy to apply. She is a fantastic facilitator who demonstrates that the best gift we can give ourselves and others is the practice of resilience; our ability to promote positive emotional perceptions, manage our stress-induced reactions and adapt to the daily challenges that life often throws our way.

Elizabeth W. Szatmari-Krasnoff, MA is currently in the Ph.D. program of Transformative Studies with a focus in Consciousness Studies at the California Institute of Integral Studies. Her current inquiry is to study the effect of sound on self-regulation of the autonomic nervous system. She is a certified Energy Healer through the Academy of Intuition Medicine Master Certification Program (MIM), and has a Sound Healing and Therapy Certificate from the Globe Institute. Additionally, she completed her training with the Heartmath Institute. Her masters degree is in Depth Psychology and Mythology from the Pacifica Graduate Institute. She was diagnosed at a young age with 50% hearing loss and has experienced the grief of two miscarriages after the birth of her son.   Elizabeth has found music and sound frequencies incredibly healing emotionally, physically and spiritually. She calls music the "language of consciousness". Music, sound, thoughts and emotion are processed in the same part of our brain - by using music and sound frequencies we can help relieve the flight/fight/freeze response of trauma. This is incredible! Elizabeth's clients come to her to significantly reduce the suffering and emotional discomfort of stress, trauma, illness and fatigue through the use of Sound Medicine. Her private practice incorporates a non-medical vibroacustic sound therapy bed (aka sound bed) to provide cellular stimulation through vibration to the cells of the mind and body. This therapy delivers frequencies in a passive and non-invasive process that activates the brain and central nervous system with the specific intent of balancing, optimizing and harmonizing cells of the body and brain into a balanced state. Elizabeth suggests that anyone going through a challenging emotional time in their lives make a "conscious intent to heal playlist" to uplift their mood for at least 20 minutes a day to give your brain a break from the symptoms and rumination of grief, stress and trauma.   You can email Elizabeth Krasnoff at elizabeth@iroomstudios.com to find out more about her work and upcoming conference presentations.

Jane Carleton has a BA in Psychology from the University of California at Berkeley, and an MA in Consciousness and Transformative Studies, as well as a Graduate Certificate in Dream Studies from John F. Kennedy University. She has taught graduate level courses on dreams, the imagination, and synchronicity at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, and she is a presenting member of the International Association for the Study of Dreams.

Today, I talk with Gary Lachman about his latest book, The Lost Knowledge of the Imagination. We discuss the need to balance the analytic "survival mode" consciousness of the external world with an older way of thinking that prioritizes the inner landscape and the imagination. We also discuss the necessity of creative outlets to regulate how much of the sensory world we take in and process, to open the valve all the way for peak experience and dial it down so we remember to do the dishes. I spend a good bit of the interview groping toward, but never reaching, the concept of a gestalt as a shorthand mental representation of external or internal objects. Some events do not pack down well to a gestalt representation, while others form new gestalts on close examination. This process of gestalt analysis and synthesis runs behind the conversation we have here. Gary Lachman is the author of twenty-one books on topics ranging from the evolution of consciousness to literary suicides, popular culture and the history of the occult. He has written a rock and roll memoir of the 1970s, biographies of Aleister Crowley, Rudolf Steiner, C. G. Jung, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, Emanuel Swedenborg, P. D. Ouspensky, and Colin Wilson, histories of Hermeticism and the Western Inner Tradition, studies in existentialism and the philosophy of consciousness, and about the influence of esotericism on politics and society. He writes for several journals in the UK, US, and Europe, including Fortean Times, Quest, Strange Attractor, Fenris Wolf, and his work has appeared in the Times Literary Supplement, Times Educational Supplement, Guardian, Independent on Sunday, Sunday Times, Mojo, Gnosis and other publications. He lectures regularly in the UK, US, and Europe, and his work has been translated into a dozen languages. He has appeared in several film and television documentaries and on BBC Radio 3 and 4 and is on the adjunct faculty in Transformative Studies at the California Institute of Integral Studies. Before becoming a full-time writer Lachman studied philosophy, managed a new age bookshop, taught English Literature, and was a Science Writer for UCLA. He was a founding member of the pop group Blondie and in 2006 was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Lachman was born in New Jersey, but since 1996 has lived in London, UK.         I apologize for the occasional gaps in sound quality. These newfangled trans-Atlantic fiber-optic cables are sometimes troublesome. Or perhaps Mercury is in retrograde.  

We debut our Creative Inquiry conversations with a bang, starting with the man who coined the term, Dr. Alfonso Montuori. We discuss his influences, his developing of the ideas that led to the creation of the Transformative Inquiry programs at California Institute of Integral Studies, the detrimental effects of reproductive education, the creative process, complexity, jazz and improvisation, and more. Alfonso Montuori is an educator, consultant, and musician. His transdisciplinary research has focused on the application of creativity research and complexity to better understand how to live in a complex, pluralistic, uncertain world. He has focused particularly in the areas of creativity, leadership, future studies, cultural pluralism, transdisciplinarity, and Creative Inquiry. Alfonso’s books include Evolutionary Competence; From Power to Partnership (co-authored with Isabella Conti), Creators on Creating (co-edited w/Barron & Barron), and Social Creativity, vols. 1-2 (co-edited w/R. Purser). In 2006 he became a San Francisco Library Laureate. He is core faculty in the Transformative Leadership and Transformative Studies programs at CIIS. You can find Alfonso on Twitter at @amontuori, and the Creative Inquiry podcast at @CreativeInqPod. Please subscribe on Soundcloud, iTunes, or Stitcher if you enjoy the podcast!

"If we took that holographic approach with religious traditions then we can recognize that there are multiple religious traditions, each one utterly unique and yet each one within itself enfolds the potential of all the others holographically" - Bruce Alderman talking about prepositional understanding using a holographic approach when looking at religious traditions Bruce works in educational testing during the daytime, and he teach night classes at JFKU for the Transpersonal Counseling Psychology and Consciousness & Transformative Studies graduate programs. Bruce is interested in the emerging spiritualities of our time -- the integral and interspirituality movements, the intersections of religious and secular philosophical traditions, and other geeky things like that. Most of his writing recently has been for academic integral journals, mostly on the topic of interreligious relationships and translineage spiritual practice.

I first met Adrian and Keisha when I entered the PhD program in Transformative Studies at CIIS in San Francisco back in 2013. I had to leave the program almost immediately due to financial aid problems (making me the shortest lived doctoral candidate since Elvis got his honorary degree) but they continued on and have begun implementing what they had been learning in exciting, innovative ways. They are co-teaching a class at the Emergent Studies Institute which explores the linkages between social justice movements and the creative muse via the artistic outlets of music, literature, film, images and performance art, beginning with the Civil Rights movement to the present day. In many ways, On the Block Radio is a project that grew out of my initial interactions with folks like Adrian and Keisha. They are engaged, compassionate people who are finding ways to join their business interests, academic scholarship, creative impulses and spiritual lives into integrated, integral models of wholeness, mindfulness and balance. They are entrepreneurial, new paradigm activists who are breaking down barriers, abolishing stereotypes and rewriting what is possible for people of color in the arts, academia and business. It was an honor to talk to them in this engaging, wide-reaching conversation. And it made me REALLY want to get back to CIIS. Enjoy!

When the Internal Revenue Service sends a "non-profit" or charitable group their letter stating they are a non profit - or charitable, in the eyes  of the American citizen, it makes the group appear acceptable and in good standing.  Because of this,  more people donate to the group and the group in some cases can receive funding through the government. What happens when the IRS adds its own agenda by approving applications who are of one political persuasion but not the other?  Such is the case with the teaparty.  There are hundreds of educational 501c3's especially in education that are Communistic in nature.  Transformative Studies institute, Social Justice Education, Sustainable Studies to name a few.  Sarah Hall Ingram, who has the title of commissioner,with oversight over tax-exempt groups, moved to the agency’s Affordable Care Act office full time by the end of 2010, six months after the tax agency began selectively scrutinizing conservative groups. According to an inspector general report, a group within the IRS’s Cincinnati office began the practice of scrutinizing tea party applications for 501(c)4 tax-exempt status in July 2010, during Ingram’s tenure over the tax-exempt and government-entities division. So what gives?  Is this the Internal Revenue Service or the Internal Reckless Service? This show sponsored by campusteaparties.com read the full post and log on here: youthforindependence
