Researcher Lauren Herlitz and theatre maker James Baldwin talked to 14 young people in care or care leavers about their experiences of seeing a doctor. The frank conversation covers being able to trust a doctor, opening-up about mental health, being affected by trauma, and being judged by healthcare professionals. Lauren and James invited two experts in child health, Dr. Claire Agathou and Prof. Monica Lakhanpaul, to respond to young people's views. They talk about the difficulties young people face in accessing healthcare and why some doctors find it hard to start conversations about mental health or trauma. The conversations with young people, aged 13 - 22 years, were recorded face-to-face between November 2022 and April 2023 in Greater London and South England, and the dialogue with Claire and Monica was recorded online in September 2023. This podcast was funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) through the Children and Families Policy Research Unit (PR-PRU-1217-21301). The views expressed are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the NIHR or the Department of Health and Social Care.

As I sat across from Dr. Marwa Farooqui  her words struck a chord, echoing the sentiment of countless women whose voices are often unheard in the vast expanse of medical research. This episode isn't just a discussion; it's a revelation of the leaps we've made in advocating for women's health in the fields of hematology and oncology. Contemplate the transformation that female leadership and representation bring to the medical community—how it shapes the way we approach women's health issues, and the rippling effect it has on global healthcare practices. This heartfelt conversation traverses the importance of grassroots movements, the strides we're taking to close the gaps in clinical trials, and the empowerment of women to stand as staunch advocates for their own health, especially in the face of socioeconomic and political challenges.Peel back the curtains on my life as a female physician, where the art of balancing the roles of healer, educator, researcher, and mother is a daily performance. Amidst the laughter and culinary escapades that add flavor to family life, the narrative turns tender as I reveal how personal loss has galvanized my dedication to providing compassionate care. It's an intimate cross-section of the trials and triumphs that shape us, underscoring the message that in the pursuit of growth, every small step is a victory. As we wrap up our time with Dr. Farooqui , we celebrate the power of these conversations to spark change, not just within the walls of hospitals, but in the lives we touch every day. Join us for a journey that promises to leave you both enlightened and inspired.Support the show

In this episode, we delve into the pivotal period from 1899 to 1920 to examine its profound impact on LGBTQ+ medical history, specifically focusing on the transgender community. Despite the era's remarkable medical advancements, the LGBTQ+ community, particularly transgender individuals, faced significant challenges and discrimination. We discuss the influences of societal norms and prejudices on the medical profession, how well-intentioned efforts could perpetuate harm, and the harmful medical treatments transgender individuals were subjected to. We also reflect on the progress made, the ongoing challenges, and the importance of learning from our past for a more inclusive future. ------------------------------------------------------------- @translessonplan @amarispeaks @mariiiwrld --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/translessonplan/support

I was born in a very small and very poor suburb of Detroit called Highland Park, and now I work–outside of Proximate– as an investment analyst for Gutter Capital. So, I have been in situations where I've had $0, and I can speak that language. Now, I'm the middleman for people to get investments of $1 million.Devin: Ben, what is your superpower?Ben: I think it has something to do with helping people tell their stories.My guests today, Ben Wrobel and Kevin McClendon, are co-founders–along with Meg Massey–of the nonprofit media company Proximate.“Proximate is a media platform that amplifies and connects movements for participatory problem-solving,” says Kevin. “We're a home for stories about creative community-driven models that shift power to people with lived experience or those proximate to the problem.”The company grew naturally out of a book that Ben wrote with co-founder Meg called Letting Go. The book built on their experiences. Ben says, “I worked for a participatory investing nonprofit called Village Capital that shifted decision-making power away from investors and towards entrepreneurs closer to the problem.”The team employs a solutions journalism lens, focusing on solutions when discussing societal challenges. Proximate narrows its aperture to primarily consider innovations in participatory philanthropy, investing and budgeting. The goal is to amplify the voices of those closest to and most impacted by problems.I'm excited about their work, in part because it recognizes the fundamental value of the crowd in crowdfunding and the value of investors who deploy relatively small amounts of money but bring perspective from the front lines of problems.Kevin highlights the uniqueness of the Proximate approach to news, “We're the only platform where you can find how a sex worker film festival and a food bank are solving for the same variables.”Ben and Kevin each bring superpowers to the game. Ben leverages an ability to help others tell their stories, and Kevin shares his unique diversity of experience to the work.AI Episode Summary* Kevin McClendon and Ben Wrobel are co-founders of Proximate, a media platform that amplifies and connects movements for participatory problem-solving.* They focus on stories about creative community-driven models that shift power to people with lived experience or those proximate to the problem.* Their work extends beyond capital and includes areas such as climate change, medical care, citizen science, and equity in the creative economy.* Proximate produces journalism and solutions journalism specifically, conveying information in a compelling way.* They hire local journalists to write about solutions in communities, such as locally-led disaster response in Puerto Rico, and cover different sectors like philanthropy, government, and impact investing.* Their goal is to be a clearinghouse for participatory problem-solving stories and create collections of stories for specific topics with the help of partner nonprofits.* Kevin's superpower is diversity of experience, having been in situations of poverty and also working as an investment analyst for Gutter Capital.* Ben's superpower is helping people tell their stories, finding people with big ideas and helping them communicate their work in a universal language.* Kevin suggests breaking silos and identifying similarities as a way to increase diversity of perspective, while Ben recommends speaking out loud and recording to overcome writer's block and improve storytelling.* To learn more about Proximate, visit their website, subscribe to their newsletters, and connect with them on social media. For Kevin, connect on LinkedIn and Instagram, and for Ben, email him or connect on LinkedIn. They are also looking for content, platform, and funding partners for collaboration.How to Develop a Diversity of Experience As a SuperpowerKevin shared an example that illustrates his superpower:So in writing for the participants, The Rise of Participatory ESOs, our most recent project that we've announced, because I've worked with a lot of the different industries that we covered, I had the insider look, so to speak, that I'm not writing as someone who's lived on the outside. I'm writing as someone who has both worked inside of these organizations and as well been a person who has been in a position to receive the results of what these organizations are attempting to accomplish.Kevin also offered some tips for expanding your own perspective. He suggests:* Break the silos and identify the similarities. * Stop creating these false barriers between groups. * Learn from what another person is doing. By following Kevin's example and advice, you can broaden your perspectives. In time, you may be able to make this a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.How to Develop Storytelling As a SuperpowerBen shared an anecdote to illustrate the power of storytelling:One of the participatory grantmaking funds that we profiled in Letting Go had been doing this work for ten years and just had a website and were well known in their small community but were not on the radar of a lot of other folks in philanthropy or beyond.We wrote a whole chapter about them in the book. Shortly after that, their founder and CEO left. She said, “I feel like my legacy is more secure now. Our story has been told.”I know that since then, they've been able to raise a good amount of money. I don't think that is entirely because of Letting Go.That's what I'm hoping to accomplish with Proximate. Every time we write an article about somebody, we hope that it will be used so that they can share it and talk about themselves and the work they're doing in a way they can be proud of.Ben offers a powerful storytelling tip:What I've often seen when people try to write an op-ed or write an essay, write about their work, they often are intimidated by a blank screen. Say the words out loud. Describe what you're doing to someone in your life and your family, and then take that–there is some great AI recording software out there, like Otter.ai. Turn on Otter and start talking. This is something people used to do way back in the day. Take a recorder; speak into it. That is one of the best ways to write: speak into your computer and then figure out what you just said.By following Ben's example and suggestion, you can improve your storytelling. With practice, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Guest ProfilesAbout Proximate: Proximate is a media platform that aims to amplify and connect movements for new models of participatory problem-solving.

Irish poet and author Julieann Campbell joined the podcast. Born in Derry in 1976, the former reporter gave up the newsroom after a decade to concentrate on motherhood, poetry and collecting oral histories. Julieann's first solo poetry collection, 'Milk Teeth' was published in 2015 by Guildhall Press (Derry), and she was one of many contributors to their vast 2008 compendium, 'City of Music: Derry's Music Heritage.' Alongside Dr. Tom Herron, she co-edited the 2008 collection, 'Harrowing of the Heart: The Poetry of Bloody Sunday', which brought together - for the first time - myriad artistic responses to the 1972 massacre. Works by established artists such as Seamus Heaney, Brian Friel, John Lennon and Christy Moore merge seamlessly alongside those of Derry writers, be they eyewitnesses, relatives, poets or activists. Playwright Brian Friel was among attendees at its launch in January 2008 at Derry's Guildhall. The same year saw Julieann winning First Prize for a Poetry Collection in Donegal's Charles Macklin Poetry Competition. A former Chair of the Bloody Sunday Trust in Derry, Julieann's first non-fiction book, 'Setting the Truth Free: The Inside Story of the Bloody Sunday Justice Campaign' (Liberties Press, Dublin) won the 2013 Christopher Ewart-Biggs Memorial Prize. The book was launched by legendary folk singer Christy Moore in Derry, and by eminent human rights lawyer Gareth Peirce in London. As well as this, Julieann also took on the role of families' press officer ahead of the publication of Lord Saville's Report of the Bloody Sunday Inquiry in 2010. With the Unheard Voices project, she compiled and edited the collection, 'Beyond the Silence: Women's Unheard Voices from the Troubles' (Guildhall Press,2016). This led to the commission of an essay entitled, 'Rewriting History', for New Island's anthology, 'Female Lines: New Writing from Northern Ireland' (2017) Julieann later worked extensively with the Museum of Free Derry to generate and develop the oral history strand of their National Civil Rights Archive. She is now a PhD Researcher at Ulster University exploring the collective and individual impact of storytelling across the north of Ireland. Her latest book, titled "On Bloody Sunday," is the first ever complete oral history of one of the worst episodes in modern Irish history.

There are millions of stories to be shared everyday, but only a few get covered by the media. Why is that? On this week's episode of Yes Factor, we dig deep to explore how bias and gatekeeping impacts the voices of minority communities. Joined by award-winning documentarian and journalist Soledad O'Brien, we shed light on the stories of the unheard and utilize the media to champion activism in this day and age. This is a truly empowering episode you don't want to miss out on! “This is a story that's flying under the radar, and how do we bring our focus on it to elevate this issue.”

James Parker is a filmmaker and the director of the documentary Other Side of the Hill, which takes us to rural Eastern Oregon to document how climate change is affecting the livelihood and the economy of several rural communities there, as told through the voices of the people on the ground.   Being from a mostly rural state myself, Kansas, the people in James' film are deeply familiar to me. They're hardworking, blue-collar, respect and honor-driven individuals and collectives that feel increasingly unheard in today's political climate.   James' documentary is a beautiful peek into the lives of the real people that political divisiveness harms or discards altogether. It also shows us how in order to find common ground, we have to meet people where they are and talk about what matters most to them and address the concerns that they face in their daily lives.   In our conversation, James and I discuss why it was so important for him to make this film, and more importantly, what lessons we can learn about how to achieve outcomes that leave everyone feeling seen, heard, and understood.   Watch Other Side of the Hill at https://www.othersideofthehillmovie.com, and connect with James' other work at https://www.synchronous.tv.

As world leaders gather in Glasgow you can be certain of one thing - the loudest voices won't be coming from the people most impacted by climate change. Inuit hunters on melting ice and Pacific islanders losing their homelands to rising sea levels won't be flying Business Class to Glasgow - they won't have the chance to fight for their rights amongst the world powers and corporate interests. Tom Heap brings those voices to the banks of the Clyde for the first of two special editions of Costing the Earth from COP26. He hears from the Adivasi people of India, marching to stop their land being taken for new coal mines and meets Yessie Mosby, a Torres Strait islander who believes the Australian government should do much more to prevent his islands disappear beneath the rising seas. In Glasgow he talks to Sarobidy Rakotonarivo about the tensions between conservation and livelihoods in the forests of Madagascar and hears how conflict and climate change are inextricably linked in the humanitarian crisis around Lake Chad.

Warning: This episode covers the topic of human trafficking and may be triggering to some. Diversity, especially amongst Americans, is a crucial misunderstanding. Being able to appreciate and recognize cultural diversity is key in many aspects of helping build foundations, but especially in human trafficking. From being able to recognize signs, to the appropriate approach to after care can all be traced back to the culture of all involved. Kelli White leads this L.E.A.D. discussion on human trafficking and our different cultural backgrounds and normalcies as they relate to human trafficking, how we need to work to identify barriers and to overcome them, and the problem with the "numbers".

Luciana Obniski, our UU Head Curator from Brazil, discusses the importance of hearing from all voices when doing research, especially those that typically fall outside of the margins. Too often, important voices are overlooked and unseen among our blind spots or drowned out by the masses. And often its the "small" voice that can initiate the biggest change.

In this episode, in which Andrew gave up editing halfway through, Andrew and Justin catch up on the beginning of 2021: Justin recounts his recent MLive interview about his Kilted Farmer business. Andrew talks about Chinese Culture and the traditions surrounding the Spring Festival (Chinese New Year) Holiday. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

In order to effectuate meaningful and lasting change, voices of concern must be heard. For the American Indian, all too often, tribal issues and concerns have been an afterthought. This country needs to honor its treaty and trust responsibilities to Tribal Nations, and American Indian advocacy must play the role of ensuring voices are heard, and holding the United States accountable for its obligations to Indian Country... and when it fails to do so, disastrous things can occur to indigenous communities.

Tim and Luis discuss the 2002 drama/comedy Love Liza, currently streaming on Amazon Prime. Why? Because this is possibly the most underrated PSH film and performance in the Hoff-canon.

All that and more in this twelfth episode of "That's That: A Philip Seymour Hoffman Retrospective Podcast." This episode's guest is friend, playwright, and collaborator Luis Roberto Herrera.

In this episode of Radio ArtEZ, vocalist, movement artist and composer Elaine Mitchener offers background to her work and her ideas. She will focus on the unheard voices of statues, rooms, places. Who do monuments represent and who do they speak for? She will introduce some original voices in philosophy and music that deserve more attention and will guide us into ideas of philosophers Fred Moten and Walter Benjamin about resistance and memory. Central to her conversation will be Benjamin’s concept and practice of memory: Eingedenken, that takes remembrance as an act of responsibility. How do we choose to remember? History is written by the victors, said Benjamin, and the consequences resonate for ages.

When she opens a preschool assignment she's kept for all these years, Divya sees the question, "What do you want to do when you grow up?" and her answer: a "hair cutter." Seems like a far cry from journalism, right? Not to Divya, who points out that getting a hair cut is a great way to hear stories - and stories are the reason she was drawn to journalism. In fact, she worried herself in highschool because she spent more time working on the student newspaper than studying for her classes. And though she tried to suppress that same interest later in college, fate would hear of no such thing - Divya was always meant to do this, and now proudly covers higher education and nonprofits as a journalist for the Tampa Bay Times. Asked why she thinks her job is important, Divya provides a simple but compelling answer: "to create empathy." And don't we all need more of that these days?

‘Unless we start listening, we’re not going to move forward’ “Unless we start listening, we're not really going to move forward,” says Julieann Campbell, editor of the Unheard Voices collection of women's stories from the Troubles. She was interviewed in the latest Forward Together podcast. Julieann reflects in the podcast on the impact on her of the interviews with women about their experiences in the Troubles. “I think it has affected me on several levels, emotionally and in my work,” she says. “It is a fact that it has made me more sensitive. It has made me more empathetic towards people I meet. And it has made me less judgmental. “And I think it has opened my eyes to the hurt that is still here that I would never have seen if I hadn't engaged in this kind of work. So it was a real eye opener for me personally. Listen on of more from Julieann.

KHOL NEWS: Author Captures Unheard Voices, Experiences of Latinx in the West by KHOL Jackson

Discuss how the mainstream media and other social media outlets are censoring conservative values and ideologies while simultaneously trying to indoctrinate the general public with their liberal point of view.

In this humbling podcast I interview Amy Barnes, Bhakti Yoga, Non-dual Tantra Teacher and Psychotherapist and Realtor of 22 years about her non profit service projects in Riverbend Maximum Security Institution (Friday Night Service Interfaith Fellowship Project) and South Central Correctional Facility (Yoga/Music Therapy) and the transformative effects of sharing yoga, meditation and singing on those involved. We talk about being raised a Nashville Native by a Reverend daddy and Tai Chi Yogi mama in the buckle of the bible belt and how service in prisons and Civil Rights activism were born into her bones.It was a moving conversation that had me look at my own languaging with respect to this section of community, the judgments that have been held deep inside my conditioning and the compassion that deepened throughout this conversation as I began to see deeply entrenched beliefs float to the surface. This conversation will shed light on your own conditioning and programing around this sector of society and I pray that it humbles and opens your mind, creating space for a more unitive way of viewing society. We pay homage to her teachers Jai Uttal and Sally Kempton among others, while discussing insiders she’s spent time with such as Tony Vick who wrote the book Secrets from a Prison Cell, the innocent Cyrus Wilson who has served nearly 27 years incarcerated-so far-and is awaiting psyche evaluation to see if he will be released on parole this year. Don Johnson, is scheduled to be executed on May 16th 2019, and still praying for clemency from TN Governor Bill Lee. Rahim Buford, a released insider who now works with the Children’s Defense Fund Nashville Organizing Team, having spent 26 years in prison, has founded the non profit Unheard Voices. We also talked about different non-profits such as Jeannie Alexander’s, 'No Exceptions' She also mentions several times, for those who want to gain greater awareness of prison life realities, to watch the documentary Amendment 13 on Netflix. Also check out Call and Response Foundation.After our sobering conversation we come to the conclusion that the inside is not different from the outside… and that Grace is growing at an equal or greater rate than dark.

Erik Jensen on Earning Freedom podcast At the very tender age of 11, Erik Jensen was living in an abusive, single parent household with daily violence fueled by alcoholism. He sought escape on the streets, committing theft, selling and using drugs, and was always in trouble with the law until Erik found himself in some of the worst prisons in New York. From his late teens to mid-twenties Erik was convicted on an array of charges including Robbery in the Second Degree, Promoting Prison Contraband, and Criminal Possession of Stolen Property in the 4th Degree. He ended up serving 12 years collectively in the New York State Department Of Corrections. He did his time at Greene, Franklin, Watertown, Bare Hill, Five Points, Attica, and in 2011-2012 at the now infamous Clinton Correctional Facility in upstate New York. It was there he became well acquainted with inmates David Sweat and Richard Matt. On June 6, 2015, the two convicted murderers pulled off one of the most daring prison escapes in recent history.             During his imprisonment Erik was witness to atrocities perpetrated against fellow inmates by several of the guards. He also observed abominable behavior inflicted on inmates by each other, convincing him that the U.S. penal system takes in the bad and instead of rehabilitating, it makes them worse.             Erik is a self-taught scholar in the field of prisoner transformation. He uses his own personal experience to revitalize the mind and spirits of men and women who have shared a similar path in life. Through his words, Erik illustrates that we are much more than the worst thing we’ve ever done, and that the potential for doing good resides within every one of us.               Given his vast knowledge of the Department of Corrections; Clinton Correctional Facility; David Sweat, Richard Matt and their escape; their accomplices, civilian worker Joyce Mitchell and guard Gene Palmer; plus the barbaric culture of the prison system, Erik Jensen is a consultant on an array of projects with television networks and major motion picture production companies. He is a producer for an upcoming Netflix series, based on the Clinton escape; directed by Jodie Foster, and Executive Produced by Bryan Zuriff and Brett Johnson of Ray Donovan and Mad Men.             Erik has been interviewed more than 40 times live on over a dozen networks, including CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, HLN, TWC, PIX11, WNYT13; plus numerous other news media, such as GQ, People, and Time magazines. He has appeared and played a prominent role in television specials: Nightline, Outside The Wall, The Great Prison Break, Inside Edition, Up Close with Marvin Scott, 360 Anderson Cooper, Outfront with Erin Burnett, At This Hour with John Berman and Kate Balduan, and Dateline: "The Accomplice" with Matt Lauer.             Erik continues to share his views with the world by consulting on disturbing issues in the prison system nationwide, such as corruption, physical and mental abuse, and the long-term effects of solitary confinement. He has participated in myriad televised debates hosted by award winning journalists such as Deborah Feyerick, Randi Kaye, and Jessica Schneider.             Erik is a regular guest speaker on numerous Dutchess County Legislator forums concerning criminal justice reform, and makes weekly guest appearances on County Legislator Joel Tyner’s radio show on WVKR 91.3 FM.             He is also frequently invited to the "Earning Freedom" podcast. A California based show created by Michael Santos that is broadcasted in jails and prisons nationwide.             SUNY New Paltz welcomes Mr. Jensen every semester to speak with students studying Criminology. He also volunteers at Redhook Residential Youth Facility, where he shares his story of recovery and redemption with juvenile delinquents.             Erik is currently a contributing writer at Unheard Voices magazine.

The Unheard Voices of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror panel from Arisia. Catherine Lundoff moderated this panel, with K. Tempest Bradford (standing in for Nisi Shawl), Julia Rios, Trisha Wooldridge, Andrea Hairston, and Victor Raymond. Listening to this doesn't give you the visual cues that people in the room had, so a note up front: Nisi was in the audience, but wasn't up for sitting on the panel. There was an ongoing joke about Tempest being Nisi, and about Nisi being Nalo Hopkinson, who was not at the convention. Awards season!*Lambda finalists include lots of OA members like Nicola Griffith, Sacchi Green, Mary Ann Mohanraj, Alex Jeffers, Alaya Dawn Johnson, The editors and contributors to Ghosts in Gaslight, Monsters in Steam Gay City: Volume 5, Melissa Scott and Amy Griswold, Richard Bowes, Lee Thomas, and more.

Here is a timeline: http://www.slhuang.com/blog/2013/07/02/a-timeline-of-the-2013-sfwa-controversies/. It has since changed editorial staff and has just put out the first of the new team's issues, which seems to be a lot more favorably received, as evidenced here: http://www.jasonsanford.com/jason/2014/03/the-new-sfwa-bulletin-is-blowing-my-mind.html.*"The Serial Killer's Astronaut Daughter" by Damien Angelica Walters was written partly in response to the SFWA bulletin's sexism. *A Stranger in Olondria by Sofia Samatar came up as an example of a novel by a person of color put out through an independent (not one of the big New York houses--Andrea argued for calling these sorts of publishers independent rather than small) publisher, Small Beer Press. Since the panel, A Stranger in Olondria has won the Crawford Award and been nominated for the Nebula. *Crossed Genres, Twelfth Planet Press, and Papaveria Press are independent presses that publish diverse voices.*Clarkesworld, Lightspeed, Strange Horizons, and Apex are magazines Tempest sees publishing diverse stories.

Andrea and Nisi have both done this. *Lethe Press publishes best gay SF stories each year in Wilde Stories, and best lesbian SF stories each year in Heiresses of Russ. Nisi and Julia are both in Heiresses of Russ 2013.*From the audience, Saira Ali recommends Goblin Fruit and Stone Telling as diverse poetry magazines, and Aliens: Recent Encounters (edited by Alex Dally MacFarlane) as a good anthology.

 September 11 Then and Now This week on Apex Express, we reflect back on 9/11. As the nation remembers the victims in the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and on board the airplanes, Apex explores the aftermath and how OUR communities have been affected. We'll hear a personal documentary by Robynn Takayama on how several Asian Pacific communities responded immediately after 9/11 to address racist scapegoating, hate crimes, and the build up to the War on Terrorism. We also talk with Co-founder of the Sikh Coalition, Amardeep Singh, about the recent Islamaphobia conference and the accompanying website, “Unheard Voices of 9/11.” And finally, we bring you a round table discussion with Valarie Kaur, award-winning filmmaker; Fahd Ahmed, legal and policy director with DRUM, Desis Rising Up & Moving; and Zahra Billoo, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations San Francisco Bay Area Chapter. Plus we have a pair of tickets to Anthony Brown's Asian American Orchestra at Yoshi's SF on September 11 for the 30th anniversary of the first Asian American Jazz Festival. The post APEX Express – September 8, 2011 appeared first on KPFA.

Evolver the Podcast: Sacred Psychedelics and Their Transformative Power In this episode we have discussions with two amazing individuals about their journey and transformation with Psychedelics. First up we have Evolver co-founder Jonathan Talat Phillips interviewing Reality Sandwich contributor Adam Elenbaas about his new book, Fishers of Men: The Gospel of an Ayahuasca Vision Quest. Adam discusses his journey from being a “hell-damning” fundamentalist Christian to recovering from drug addiction and healing himself and his family line through ayahuasca ceremonies in the Amazon. He shares his encounters with mystical beings and inter-dimensional creatures during his adventures with this shamanic brew, as well as his thoughts on why Jesus was the social activist version of the Buddha, how there is nothing to fear in the entire cosmos, and ways we might redeem modern Christianity. Next up I interviewed Isabella Stoloff who is the Evolver Regional coordinator for Evolver Orange County. She is also a practicing Shaman and heads up the Orange County Healing Center. She tells a little about how she came to be involved with Evolver through her Shamanic work in the Amazon. In this interview she mentions a Love meditation that she did at the Evolver Long Beach Love Spore and that was actually captured on video and is up on youtube.com, you will find the link below. Finally we have another amazing story of transformation with Jennifer Palmer interviewing Charles Shaw talking about his journey, and how he had been “paroled from hell”. Charles has been a long time contributor with Reality Sandwich, he has also spoken at a number of different Evolver Spores. Currently his book “Exile Nation: Drugs, Prisons, Politics & Spirituality” is being released chapter by chapter on Reality Sandwich, the most recent installation was chapter 12. Charles is also about to kick off his “Light and Shadow: Exploring Personal & Cultural Transformation” tour. The tour will be visiting over thirty cities and will feature both Charles Shaw and Michael Garfield. While on the road Charles will be shooting for his upcoming documentary project “Unheard Voices”. Enjoy the interview and check out everything that Charles is up to. I'm happy to announce that we've joined the Alterati family of podcasts, which I'm very excited about. I also want to thank everyone that helps make things like this possible, such as the Evolver Social Movement, and thanks to Inner Traditions for sponsoring this month. This is such an amazing, powerful and inspiring episode, I think you will all enjoy it very much. I'm Chris Hopkins, if you would like to contact me at all you can find me on facebook as “Evolver Sacramento”, on Evolver.net “Chris Hopkins”, or just email me “chris@barbelithlives.com, thanks for listening.
