Welcome back friends! Today we are having a family talk, that includes three generations! My daughter, Miriam is hosting our talk that includes my first granddaughter, Adina. You have probably heard her name mentioned before! She is Naomi's daughter, and was the person who said to me, “Grammy, you should do a podcast about your life.” We discuss priorities for family living, mom and dad's example, and teachings when we grew up. How we learned to seek, and find God's will, in both the small and big decisions in life. All three of us live in Germany, but we are spread out between the north and south. As you can hear, we speak a lot of English, in our family! We talk and see each other regularly, but this video podcast was a new experience. I hope you enjoy listening. Bye for now! (We referred to this song written by the Van Dooren Sisters: SHAKEN https://youtu.be/bzqozpqIIFY?si=egopNL9hEca4_OXw You can find the whole album on Youtube and on Spotify!
Crows can be found almost everywhere that people are, from tropical islands to deserts and arctic forests, from densely populated cities to suburbs and farms. Across these diverse landscapes, many species of crow are doing well: their intelligent and adaptive ways of life have allowed them to thrive amid human-driven transformations. Indeed, crows are frequently disliked for their success, seen as pests, threats, and scavengers on the detritus of human life. But among the vast variety of crows, there are also critically endangered species that are barely hanging on to existence, some of them the subjects of passionate conservation efforts. The Wake of Crows: Living and Dying in Shared Worlds (Columbia UP, 2019) is an exploration of the entangled lives of humans and crows. Focusing on five key sites, Thom van Dooren asks how we might live well with crows in a changing world. He explores contemporary possibilities for shared life emerging in the context of ongoing processes of globalization, colonization, urbanization, and climate change. Moving among these diverse contexts, this book tells stories of extermination and extinction alongside fragile efforts to better understand and make room for other species. Grounded in the careful work of paying attention to particular crows and their people, The Wake of Crows is an effort to imagine and put into practice a multispecies ethics. In so doing, van Dooren explores some of the possibilities that still exist for living and dying well on this damaged planet. Thom van Dooren is associate professor at the University of Sydney. He is the author of Flight Ways: Life and Loss at the Edge of Extinction (Columbia, 2014) and coeditor of Extinction Studies: Stories of Time, Death, and Generations (Columbia, 2017).

Welcome back friends! Today, I am having a very personal talk with my oldest daughter, Naomi. We are talking about the “true love,” that I was privileged to experience, with my husband of 30 years. We met as young hippies, in West Berlin in 1970, and lived together there. Our lives took quite the turn when we moved to California and lived in the Redwoods. We shared many wonderful years together, with our five daughters, and then the illness, cancer hit. Naomi and I, talk about the journey that took all of us on. We had many ups and down, over a period of almost seven years, but the day did come when we had to say goodbye. I hope you will be encouraged when you listen to our story.

Welcome back friends! For some of you, my stories bring back memories of your own life and relationships. For others it is interesting, watching and listening, to my oldest daughter and I talk about the past. It is also fascinating for Naomi, and her adult daughter, to listen to my story episodes, and hear about her early years as a baby in California. In this interview we will be talking about when Thomas and I, were in jail and then ended up getting married. We were not prepared, to hear what the Justice of the Peace said to us, at the Civic Center in Marin County. The questions that follow, take us to my experience, of having a home birth in a cabin with people I had never met before. It's funny for me telling about those days, with my daughter, and her birth story! Enjoy listening!

#kristinevandooren #findingpurpose #hippielife #autobiography #songofmylife Welcome back friends! Thank you for all of your encouraging messages! I am glad to hear that you are enjoying my podcast "Finding Purpose," and our mother/daughter talks here. My daughter, Naomi van Dooren, thought it would be fun to ask me some more personal questions about my story. This time we talk about the Summer of Love; which I experienced first hand, growing up in the 60's and living near San Francisco. Watching all the rock bands at the Fillmore concert hall was a must, which eventually led me to Europe, in the summer of 1970. That's how my podcast story begins, "It's all about the Music."

Surprise ! Our second video podcast just for you! Thank you for all the nice comments about our very first video podcast. Here is my second video conversation with my daughter, Naomi van Dooren. We talk about what it's been like for me, learning to make a podcast. It's sure not something I imagined myself doing, even a year ago! In writing my story, I have tried to remember the crazy, fun, and scary things my husband and I went through. Sometimes it has felt like an emotional rollercoaster ride. But on the other hand, its been amazing to realize how God, had His hand on our lives all along the way. I hope you enjoy our "mother - daughter" talk. Take care and bye for now!

VIDEO PODCAST #1 Welcome Friends! I have a special surprise for you; a new addition to my audio, story episodes! I have received many lovely messages, from my “Finding Purpose” listeners, over the past few months. Often the question comes up; “How did I get started doing a podcast in the first place?” So I decided, to let you on the personal side of my life, by doing some video podcasts. For the first series, I have invited my daughter, Naomi van Dooren, to join me for a conversation. Since she enjoys listening to my podcast, I thought it would be fun, to let her ask me questions about it. Unfolding in these series, I will touch on different topics, and stages of my life. Of course, I will be continuing with my story episodes as usual. Every once in awhile I will surprise you with a “Conversations” video! So stay tuned for that! *** You can watch the video on my Youtube channel: Kristine van Dooren *** Please subscribe, like and share it with your friends! Thanks alot!
Green Dreamer: Sustainability and Regeneration From Ideas to Life
In this episode, we welcome Thom van Dooren, a field philosopher and writer. Thom is Deputy Director at the Sydney Environment Institute and teaches at the University of Sydney and the University of Oslo. His current research and writing focus on some of the many philosophical, ethical, cultural, and political issues that arise in the context of species extinctions and human entanglements with threatened species and places. This research works across the disciplines of cultural studies, philosophy, science and technology studies, and related fields. He has explored these themes in depth in three books: Flight Ways: Life and Loss at the Edge of Extinction (Columbia University Press, 2014), The Wake of Crows: Living and Dying in Shared Worlds (Columbia University Press, 2019), and A World in a Shell: Snail Stories for a Time of Extinctions (MIT Press, 2022). (The musical offering featured in this episode Hummingbird by Lea Thomas. The episode-inspired artwork is by Haruka Aoki.)

In this time of extinctions, the humble snail rarely gets a mention. And yet snails are disappearing faster than any other species. In A World in a Shell: Snail Stories for a Time of Extinctions (MIT Press, 2022), Thom van Dooren offers a collection of snail stories from Hawai'i--once home to more than 750 species of land snails, almost two-thirds of which are now gone. Following snail trails through forests, laboratories, museums, and even a military training facility, and meeting with scientists and Native Hawaiians, van Dooren explores ongoing processes of ecological and cultural loss as they are woven through with possibilities for hope, care, mourning, and resilience. Van Dooren recounts the fascinating history of snail decline in the Hawaiian Islands: from deforestation for agriculture, timber, and more, through the nineteenth century shell collecting mania of missionary settlers, and on to the contemporary impacts of introduced predators. Along the way he asks how both snail loss and conservation efforts have been tangled up with larger processes of colonization, militarization, and globalization. These snail stories provide a potent window into ongoing global process of environmental and cultural change, including the largely unnoticed disappearance of countless snails, insects, and other less charismatic species. Ultimately, van Dooren seeks to cultivate a sense of wonder and appreciation for our damaged planet, revealing the world of possibilities and relationships that lies coiled within a snail's shell.

PODCAST ALERT: Wout van Doorn #52 Een vuurgevecht (TIC) bracht mij waardevolle ervaringen en lessen. L Live op de nieuwe podcast-bank tijdens de Invictusgames hebben Dennie en Wout het over de ontwikkelingsreis die Wout maakte als militair, mens en nu als coach bij DGI (Duurzaam Gezond Inzetbaar). Wout verteld over zijn ontwikkelingen in de tijd dat hij bij de Luchtmobiele brigade en het Korps Commando Troepen werkzaam was. We hebben het over de ervaring en lessen die een TIC (vuurgevecht) tijdens een uitzending met zich meebracht en hoe deze ervaring nog steeds van positieve invloed is op Wout zijn leven. Voor hem zijn het de ervaringen en de bijbehorende verwerkingen die voorwaardelijk zijn geweest om te kunnen groeien. Hij had eerder in zijn loopbaan onbewust al een grote interesse voor (leiderschaps)gedrag en mentale kracht alleen is hij hier nu veel bewuster mee bezig als coach en als mens.

Feinberg Series lecture on the disappearing snails of Hawaii by Thom van Dooren. Thom van Dooren is a field philosopher, storyteller and Associate Professor, University of Sydney and the University of Oslo. Moderated by Malcolm Sen with an introduction by Brian Ogilvie. The Hawaiian Islands were once home to one of the most diverse assemblages of terrestrial snails found anywhere on earth. Today, however, the majority of these species are extinct and most of those that remain are headed swiftly in the same direction. This lecture explores this larger context of loss, asking what it means and why it matters that so much of Hawai’i’s rich snail diversity is disappearing. It does so, however, through a focus on one very particular question: how did a global centre of terrestrial snail diversity end up out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean? Snails, after all, are not commonly known for their propensity to undertake long journeys—not by land, and certainly not by sea. So, how did they all get to this most remote oceanic archipelago? Equally as importantly at our present time, how might the ongoing extinctions of snails be understood differently if we pay attention to these deep-time processes? What might this context help us to see, appreciate, and perhaps hold onto?

Free online events address the historical origins of ecological destruction and mass extinction; the implications of these phenomena for human and nonhuman survival and ways of life; the role of human politics; the connections between the environmental emergency and histories of capitalism, colonialism, genocide, and white supremacy; human entanglements with the nonhuman world; and the past, present, and future of resistance movements. The series seeks to deepen our understandings of this singularly important set of problems through historical analysis and, in doing so, to envision constructive paths forward. The Feinberg Family Distinguished Lecture Series is made possible thanks to the generosity of UMass Amherst history department alumnus Kenneth R. Feinberg ’67 and associates. The series is co-sponsored by more than 3 dozen community and university partners. Visit the Feinberg Series webpage for more information about the series. blogs.umass.edu/feinberg-series

Crows can be found almost everywhere that people are, from tropical islands to deserts and arctic forests, from densely populated cities to suburbs and farms. Across these diverse landscapes, many species of crow are doing well: their intelligent and adaptive ways of life have allowed them to thrive amid human-driven transformations. Indeed, crows are frequently disliked for their success, seen as pests, threats, and scavengers on the detritus of human life. But among the vast variety of crows, there are also critically endangered species that are barely hanging on to existence, some of them the subjects of passionate conservation efforts. The Wake of Crows: Living and Dying in Shared Worlds (Columbia UP, 2019) is an exploration of the entangled lives of humans and crows. Focusing on five key sites, Thom van Dooren asks how we might live well with crows in a changing world. He explores contemporary possibilities for shared life emerging in the context of ongoing processes of globalization, colonization, urbanization, and climate change. Moving among these diverse contexts, this book tells stories of extermination and extinction alongside fragile efforts to better understand and make room for other species. Grounded in the careful work of paying attention to particular crows and their people, The Wake of Crows is an effort to imagine and put into practice a multispecies ethics. In so doing, van Dooren explores some of the possibilities that still exist for living and dying well on this damaged planet. Thom van Dooren is associate professor at the University of Sydney. He is the author of Flight Ways: Life and Loss at the Edge of Extinction (Columbia, 2014) and coeditor of Extinction Studies: Stories of Time, Death, and Generations (Columbia, 2017).

Frank van Dooren die op 1 juli van dit jaar afscheid nam als corporatiedirecteur van ZVH over het bestaansrecht van corporaties. Wat is de legitimatie van een corporatie in de toekomst? 'Er zijn zoveel mensen die zich met een corporatie bemoeien dat de echte doelgroep van een corporatie is ondergesneeuwd, namelijk de huurder. Het voorkomen van misbruik is lang de focus geweest maar ik denk dat de legitimatie in de toekomst juist ligt bij de bewoners. Bewoners moeten kunnen mee besturen.'

Op de nieuwste editie van de Negen-maandenbeurs hebben ze een speciaal nieuwtje: een DNA-test voor baby's. Daarmee claimen de makers van Analyse Me dat je er mee te weten kunt komen welke kleur ogen je kind krijgt, en of dat hij of zij later een denker of een doener wordt. Gewoon even wat wangslijm van je baby opsturen en je krijgt de resultaten thuis. De baby-test maakt deel uit van een trend waarin er steeds meer commerciële DNA-tests op de Nederlandse markt komen en waarbij de dubieuze claims niet achterwege gelaten worden. Zo verklaarde bureau Omnigen onlangs over atlete (en Porsche-rijder) Dafne Schippers dat ze genen heeft die gekoppeld zijn aan doorzettingsvermogen. Eerder zocht hetzelfde bureau (in samenwerking met een ander automerk) of Feyenoord-supporters een Feyenoord-gen hebben. Marieke Van dooren, klinisch geneticus aan het Erasmus MC, en vice-voorzitter van de Vereniging Klinische Genetica Nederland, vindt het een schadelijk evolutie. Een aantal bedrijven presenteren zich volgens haar als heel serieus, maar ze doen soms erg onwetenschappelijke beweringen op basis van onvolledige DNA-analyses. Van Dooren heeft weet van schrijnende gevallen waarin klanten ook zorgwekkende conclusies trokken op basis van zo'n DNA-analyse. Ook kunnen er problemen opduiken met de privacy, aangezien je DNA intieme informatie bevat die anderen mogelijk bijhouden. Ze roept daarom op voor een betere bewustwording over het laten analyseren van je DNA. We spreken met Van Dooren over deze trend. Verslaggever Marc-Robin Visscher ging op onderzoek uit op de Negen-maandenbeurs in de Amsterdamse RAI.
Van der Burg staat nu zeven maanden aan het roer bij het Openbaar Ministerie en dat bevalt hem uitstekend. Wat wel tegenvalt is de financiële schaarste. 'We kunnen niet alles en moeten iedere dag keuzes maken. En wij hebben iedere dag te maken met de de onderbuik van de samenleving, daar zou ik graag stappen in maken.' Een gesprek over strenger straffen, preventie van misdaad, de aanpak van motorclubs en bestrijding van terrorisme. Juridische Vraag Een huurhuis moet je bij vertrek weer netjes achterlaten. Luisteraar Hendrik Jan van Dooren vraagt zich af of dit ook geldt voor de tuin. Niet volgens advocaat Jaap Drijftholt van AVC Advocaten uit Amsterdam. Omdat de bomen er al zo lang staan zijn ze feitelijk eigendom van de verhuurder geworden. Van Dooren hoeft de boom dus niet te kappen en hoeft ook niet voor de kosten daarvan op te draaien. Het verslag is van Daan Marselis. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Thom van Dooren‘s new book is an absolute must-read. (I was going to qualify that with a “…for anyone who…” and realized that it really needs no qualification.) Flight Ways: Life and Loss at the Edge of Extinction (Columbia University Press, 2014) is a beautifully written and evocative meditation on extinction. The book offers (and implicates us in) stories about five groups of birds – albatrosses, vultures, Little Penguins, whooping cranes, and Hawaiian crows – that build upon one another and collectively enable us to explore and re-imagine what, where, and how extinction is, and why that matters. Van Dooren emphasizes the importance of storytelling to understanding and inhabiting the world, and the book’s five “extinction stories” each bring to life the entanglements of avian, human, and other beings to ask readers to consider a series of questions that can best be explored, understood, and engaged through attentiveness to these entanglements. “What is lost,” van Dooren asks, “when a species, an evolutionary lineage, a way of life, passes from the world?” How does this loss mean, and what does it mean, within the particular multispecies community formed and shaped by that way of life? And how might storytelling, conceived as an act of witnessing, help draw us into new relationships and accountabilities within our multispecies communities? Flight Ways is deeply concerned with the ethical questions that emerge – and that must be sustained – in the course of thinking through these crucial questions, and it is committed to moving us away from a position of human exceptionalism as we work with and inside of that ethical troubling. Deeply interdisciplinary, van Dooren’s book brings together approaches in animal studies and the environmental humanities, but it speaks to and from many more fields.
