Introductory Summary Paragraph What does it take to honor five generations of history while giving yourself permission to lead differently? In this episode of Building Unbreakable Brands, Meghan Lynch sits down with Anne Bauer, a sixth-generation family business leader, coach, and energy healer, to explore how legacy businesses can evolve without losing their soul. From her company's beginnings as a covered wagon supplier to its global role in the airline industry, Anne shares how creativity, intuition, and energetic awareness shape her approach to leadership—and how family businesses can reframe legacy as a living tapestry rather than a rigid pattern.Key Topics DiscussedTrace the journey of Anne's family business from a 1891 wagon supply outpost to an international airline supplier.Explore how each generation infused entrepreneurial spirit to keep the company resilient through change.Hear Anne's story of shedding old leadership models and embracing her style as the first female president.Learn about her three pillars of legacy—clear communication, healthy boundaries, and energetic awareness—and why they are essential in family enterprises.Discover how reframing crises (like the pandemic) as opportunities can unlock creativity and growth.Understand the metaphor of legacy as a “tapestry,” where leaders choose which threads to honor and which new patterns to weave.Connect with Anne Bauer on LinkedIn or visit thelegacyevolution.comBuilding Unbreakable Brands is hosted by Meghan LynchProduced by Six-Point Strategy

Dan Rubinstein is an Ottawa-based writer, editor, and stand-up paddleboarder. His latest book, Water Borne, was published in 2025 and is based on his most recent epic solo paddling journey and also explores the importance of deepening our relationship with water. Dan is also a National Magazine Award–winning journalist who contributes to publications such as The Walrus, The Globe and Mail, and enRoute, and he's a former editor at Canadian Geographic magazine. His first book, ⁠Born to Walk,⁠ was a finalist for the Ottawa Book Awards and Kobo Emerging Writer Prize. About Water Borne: In June 2023, Rubinstein lashed camping gear to his stand-up paddleboard and embarked on an improbable solo voyage from Ottawa to Montreal, New York City, Toronto, and back to Ottawa along the rivers, lakes, and canals of a landlocked region. Over 1,200 miles and 10 weeks, he explored the healing potential of “blue space” — the aquatic equivalent of green space — and sought out others drawn to their local waters. But the farther Rubinstein paddled, the more he realized that being in, on, or around water does more than boost our mental and physical health and prompt stewardship toward the natural world. He discovered that blue spaces are also a way to connect with the kaleidoscopic cross-section of people he met and the diverse geographies and communities he passed through. Weaving together research, interviews, and an unmacho, malodorous, anticolonial adventure tale, Water Borne shows us that we don't need an epic journey to find solutions to so many modern challenges. Repair and renewal may be close at hand: just add water. Follow Dan on Instagram. Visit Dan's website. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I learned the lake is divided by the california nevada border and we were on the Nevada side. About 20 attendees. We stayed at the retreat center Zephyr Pointe. Really fun event and very well organized for a first time event. I can only imagine how much work was involved. At the retreat Deb (meedah1) taught us how to make Japanese Short Rows. So easy! This is going to be my go to short row technique from now one Socks: Using Red Heart Heart and Sole in colorway Black Jack. Finished first sock and knitting on leg of the second sock. Mountain High: Heidi Kirrmaier. Using my handspun Flowers From My Garden. Cast on before heading to retreat but made a mistake. Suppose to cast on with larger needle, switch to smaller needle for nine rows of garter stitch, and then switch back to larger needle. I knit it all with the larger needle. Then got to the retreat and tried to do short rows. Oh boy, what a mistake. My counts were way off. Came home and unraveled the whole project and started over.  Deer Scarf: Ben and his roommates rescued a concrete deer lawn ornaments. I am making a red scarf for the deer to wear this holiday. Added fringe to beginning edge and knit about 48 inches. Weaving Studio: It's a work in progress.  Kelly's Projects Izzy Bears are finished and dropped off at school!  Weaving in ends on the Lace and Fade Boxy by Joji Locatelli. Using a merino silk handspun along with a skein of Sincere Sheep Vernal (silk/linen). Love the sweater, love the fit. Finished Combing the remaining CVM. I've brought it in for fall spinning. Natural Dyeing Experiments Toyon gave me yellow and orange depending on how long I soaked the leaves.  Dried tan oak leaves from a long ago camping trip and walnut leaves from the backyard gave me light brown so I'm letting it continue to soak this week.  Lambtown Festival Lambtown is October 4-5 (workshops start Oct 2) in Dixon, CA.  Home-A-Long October 1st to December 31st We haven't had a contest for knitters or crocheters in a really long time. It's time to make that right with a Home-a-Long. Make a home decor item in your craft of choice…knitting, crocheting, weaving, or any way “you can think of to play with string.” Some ideas for projects could be pillows, afghans, rugs, towels, teapot or mug cozies, potholders, dishcloths, bags. The sky's the limit!

Chronicling the practices, legends, and wisdom of the vanishing traditions of the upper Amazon, this book reveals the area's indigenous peoples' approach to living in harmony with the natural world. Rainforest Medicine features in-depth essays on plant-based medicine and indigenous science from four distinct Amazonian societies: deep forest and urban, lowland rainforest and mountain.The book is illustrated with unique botanical and cultural drawings by Secoya elder and traditional healer Agustin Payaguaje and horticulturalist Thomas Y. Wang as well as by the author himself. Payaguaje shares his sincere imaginal view into the spiritual life of the Secoya; plates of petroglyphs from the sacred valley of Cotundo relate to an ancient language, and other illustrations show traditional Secoya ayahuasca symbols and indigenous origin myths. Two color sections showcase photos of the plants and people of the region, and include plates of previously unpublished full-color paintings by Pablo Cesar Amaringo (1938-2009), an acclaimed Peruvian artist renowned for his intricate, colorful depictions of his visions from drinking the entheogenic plant brew, ayahuasca ("vine of the soul" in Quechua languages).Today the once-dense mysterious rainforest realms are under assault as the indiscriminate colonial frontier of resource extraction moves across the region; as the forest disappears, the traditional human legacy of sustainable utilization of this rich ecosystem is also being buried under modern realities. With over 20 years experience of ground-level environmental and cultural conservation, author Jonathon Miller Weisberger's commitment to preserving the fascinating, unfathomably precious relics of the indigenous legacy shines through. Chief among these treasures is the "shimmering" "golden" plant-medicine science of ayahuasca or yajé, a rainforest vine that was popularized in the 1950s by Western travelers such as William Burroughs and Alan Ginsberg. It has been sampled, reviled, and celebrated by outsiders ever since.Currently sought after by many in the industrialized West for its powerful psychotropic and life-transforming effects, this sacred brew is often imbibed by visitors to the upper Amazon and curious seekers in faraway venues, sometimes with little to no working knowledge of its principles and precepts. Perceiving that there is an evident need for in-depth information on ayahuasca if it is to be used beyond its traditional context for healing and spiritual illumination in the future, Miller Weisberger focuses on the fundamental knowledge and practices that guide the use of ayahuasca in indigenous cultures. Weaving first-person narrative with anthropological and ethnobotanical information, Rainforest Medicine aims to preserve both the record and ongoing reality of ayahuasca's unique tradition and, of course, the priceless forest that gave birth to these sacred vines. Featuring words from Amazonian shamans--the living torchbearers of these sophisticated spiritual practices--the book stands as testimony to this sacred plant medicine's power in shaping and healing individuals, communities, and nature alike.Ethnobotanist JONATHON "SPARROW" MILLER WEISBERGER was raised in Ecuador and the U.S. He has collected over 2,000 herbarium specimens, including first-time collections of several new species. From 1990 to 2000, Jonathon lived in the Ecuadorian Amazon among five indigenous nationalities, and was influential in the creation of three reserves including the Napo-Galeras National Park. He participated in the demarcation of Waorani territory and in groundwork that helped the Secoya people retain a significant tract of their ancestral homelands. He is the executive director of the Council for Cultural and Biological Diversity (known in Latin America as Fundación OSA), supporting rainforest conservation and cultural heritage projects in Ecuador and Costa Rica. He is the steward of Guaria de Osa Ecolodge (guariadeosa.com), a rainforest and ocean discovery and education center on the remote Osa peninsula, Costa Rica. The author lives in Guaria de Osa, Costa Rica.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

Let's go back to Folsom Street Fair 2024 and my headlining set for Real Bad 35 presented by The Grass Roots Gay Rights Foundation. A year out from that incredible night, it is the performance and soundtrack that has garnered the most positive feedback for me (still), seemingly leaving a lasting imprint on the minds and hearts of those that were in attendance -- including me. As a reminder of that magical night, I wanted to share a big portion of my set here with you all. Weaving my way into a pivotal musical moment for the party, the beginning of the set drops us into a classic "circuit-esque" anthem segment before we take off on a full-throttle Deanne big room journey. I hope you enjoy the ride! It was most definitely a night to remember. Recorded live from 1015 Folsom in SanFrancisco on Sept 29, 2024

Weaving creates lots of dust, threads, and pieces of fabric. Cleaned desk and set up sewing machine which I think will work well for sewing. I'm trying not to buy anything for the studio but find what I have around the house and make it work. Kelly's Projects Started and finished spirit yarn hat #6. Took it to the college free table even though it was muggy and 70-ish this week.  More Izzy Bears have ears!  Still almost finished with Lace and Fade Boxy by Joji Locatelli. Using a merino silk handspun along with a skein of Sincere Sheep Vernal (silk/linen). I'm on the ribbing and using a 1x1 broken rib based on Marsha's suggestion.

Debating washing the stickiest leftovers of this fleece or consigning them to the compost and calling the combing done.  Washing and Processing Ernest (2017 fleece) Still carding the first batch this fleece with silk. Still have to finish washing the last couple batches.  Natural Dyeing Experiments I dyed three small white skeins from spirit wool (about 150 g) with fig leaves. I pre-mordanted the wool with alum, rinsed it and let it dry. Then I put it in a dyepot that had simmered for many hours. The result is a greenish gold.  Future natural dyes from my yard—toyon leaves/twigs, ceanothus leaves/twigs. Also have some dried tan oak leaves from a long ago camping trip. Another possibility is to vary the water I use. I may experiment with ocean water. My tap water is quite hard so playing with the pH of my water is another possibility.

After a well-deserved break, which was extended by a week, Karen is back. During her time off she took part in ‘Hampshire Open Studios', a scheme where artists across Hampshire open up their workshops to the public. Karen decided to run a pop-up perfume bar and actually learned a lot. She also had a lot of downtime and was able to reflect on its importance. So, in this week's episode, Karen is sharing her learnings from both these events and her overall message of creating a healthy work life balance. KEY TAKEAWAYS Karen is used to teaching people who want to learn about perfume. What she discovered with the pop-up bar is that most of the people visiting were there out of curiosity. She shares how you can adapt your offering to this type of customer. One thing Karen noticed is that there was a huge inconsistency with the number of people who visited and the length of time they spent in the studio. She gives suggestions on how you can make the most of this. Ideas come thick and fast when you're creative, and most times we feel the need to act on them straight away. However, this just leads to burnout. Karen gives her top tips on how to manage your ideas in a time-friendly manner. On top of the ideas you generate for your business, there are also the creative projects that you want to do for yourself, which are equally important. Karen discusses how to make that all important ‘time for yourself.' BEST MOMENTS “If you're considering doing a pop up, be clear about whether you're there to entertain or educate.” “The more you step away from your ‘day to day' the more creative you become and the more ideas you have.” “The idea of running your own business is to love what you do and really immerse yourself in it.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Getting Started Guide Artisan Perfumery Mastermind  ABOUT THE HOST Fragrance expert, author, teacher and speaker; Karen Gilbert runs courses in the UK and online which demystify the secretive world of perfumery in a fun and interactive way. Karen has inspired thousands of students to explore their olfactory sense and create their own personalised fragrances. With extensive product development experience in both the commercial perfumery and the organic skincare industry, Karen is able to offer a unique insight into creating natural and mixed media fragrances for fine fragrance, room scents and skincare/bodycare products using commercial perfumery techniques. Karen is also a certified meditation teacher and has a passion for helping people to create daily rituals that integrate scent with other modalities to shift state and increase your sense of wellbeing.

Join us for an enlightening exploration with Hone Bailey, a master of traditional Maori weaving, as he reveals the intricate tapestry of his life's work and cultural heritage. Discover how Hone's upbringing in the vibrant community of Koromatua, coupled with the teachings of his strict parents, laid the groundwork for his artistic journey. His early experiences at kōhanga reo, or Maori language preschools, played a pivotal role in shaping his deep cultural connection and igniting his passion for weaving as both a creative and personal expression.Our conversation navigates the fascinating intersection of traditional Maori weaving and Western textile practices, with Hone sharing insights from his transformative move from New York to Toihoukura, the Maori School of Art and Design. Here, he found a nurturing environment that celebrated Maori culture and arts, reinforcing the powerful bond between land, spirit, and craft. Hone also discusses his commitment to preserving this cultural legacy through documentation, ensuring that future generations can connect with their heritage without facing the barriers that often accompany such journeys.As Hone reflects on his professional and personal aspirations, he unveils the joys and challenges of crafting Tukutuku panels and family heirlooms, such as the kākahu cloak. The episode highlights Hone's dedication to mentoring young weavers, bridging geographical divides with modern technology to foster a vibrant exchange of knowledge. He shares his dream of creating a space deeply connected to the natural world, where art and culture flourish. Hone's story is a testament to the resilience and beauty of keeping Maori weaving traditions alive, celebrating the power of cultural stories in uniting communities and amplifying indigenous voices.

In this first of a series of episodes on healing, we speak with Nicole Nehrig, whose book With Her Own Hands: Women Weaving Their Stories (W.W. Norton, 2025) is a rich and intimate exploration of how women have used textile work to create meaningful lives, from ancient mythology to our current moment. Knitting, sewing, embroidery, quilting―throughout history, these and other forms of textile work have often been dismissed as merely “women's work” and attached to ideas of domesticity and obedience. Yet, as psychologist and avid knitter Nicole Nehrig wonderfully explores in this captivating book, textile work has often been a way for women to exercise power. When their voices were silenced and other avenues were closed off to them, women used the tools they had―often a needle and thread―to seek freedom within the restrictive societies they lived in. Spanning continents and centuries, With Her Own Hands brings together remarkable stories of women who have used textiles as a means of liberation, from an eighteenth-century Quaker boarding school that used embroidered samplers to teach girls math and geography to the Quechua weavers working to preserve and revive Incan traditions today, and from the Miao women of southern China who, in the absence of a written language, pass down their histories in elaborate “story cloths” to a midcentury British women's postal art exchange. Textiles have been a way for women to explore their intellectual capacities, seek economic independence, create community, process traumas, and convey powerful messages of self-expression and political protest. Heartfelt and deeply moving, With Her Own Hands is a celebration of women who have woven their own stories―and a testament to their resilience. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Buddha said that the minds of his followers should "constantly, day and night, delight in spiritual practice." But what practice can we stitch into the fabric of ordinary days? This fan-favorite epsiode explores a spiritual thread that can run through work, family, errands, and all the passing moments that make up our lives.   Cherishing others requires no shrine, no retreat, no special circumstance—only a special intention. To cherish another means we think and act on this intention, "Your happiness matters. I will work for your happiness."   Whether it's the barista, a child, a colleague, or a stranger in the grocery store, cherishing others transforms every interaction into a step on the spiritual path.   Cherishing others is loving-kindness, or metta, in action. This practice softens the heart. It also dismantles the walls of self-cherishing (selfishness), our habit of "me first" that actually gives rise to our own pain.   The Buddha taught that cherishing others is the root of all good qualities, from patience to compassion, and the sacred root from which enlightenment eventually blossoms.   The Buddha also taught that cherishing others helps solve problems and creates the causes of happiness (through creating good karma). And science, centuries later, agrees. A 2024 study involving three countries and 4,000 people found that even one act of kindness a week toward others decreased loneliness, social anxiety, neighborhood conflict, and isolation.  Even our bodies rejoice when we cherish others. Researchers at the University of British Columbia found that people who regularly performed kind acts had lower blood pressure and reduced inflammatory markers—key factors in long-term health. And a study from Carnegie Mellon University showed that offering support to loved ones was linked to lower cortisol levels and improved immune response.   Cherishing others is beneficial for the mind and weaves joy into everyday life. What if, day and night, we delighted in this? If you are interested in working with JoAnn Fox as a Life/Spiritual Coach, visit https://buddhismforeveryone.com/coaching   References and Links Buddha.

4/8. Professor Emily Wilson's translation of The Iliad underscores the powerful, ancient tradition of women's lament, prominently featured in the poem's conclusion. Women like Helen, Hecuba, and Andromache are depicted not only weaving but primarily grieving for the dead and for their own bleak, often enslaved futures. Helen, uniquely, weaves the sufferings of the war and offers commentary on the Greeks, while Hecuba embodies both infinite grief and rage, a rare expression for women in Homeric society. 12TH BCE HITTITE BULL

In this episode, I introduce a new era: shifting from monthly Energy Updates to Energy Blueprints. A blueprint is more than a report of energies—it's the living design we co-create together. September's blueprint is anchored in the theme of weaving and co-creation, preparing us for the powerful 9/9/9 completion portal.Together, we explore how to move from convergence into coherence, softening our individual threads into a greater tapestry of remembrance. With support from the Grandmother Weavers, the Crystalline Children, the Dragons, and our galactic allies, we attune to crystalline clarity, flexibility, and unity consciousness. Join me as we step beyond the lone-wolf template, embrace the art of co-creation, and anchor the next chapter of our collective evolution.Join The Light Weaver Quantum Mastery Fall 2025 Cohort!

Anne's Book Club is a new series of interviews with the authors of new fiber art books that I think Long Thread Podcast listeners will love. This episode features new books by Deb Essen, a frequent contributor to Handwoven and Little Looms. Deb Essen may weave plenty of blocks and squares, but you definitely can't put her in a box. Not many weavers would release a book about turning pin-loom squares into adorable stuffed animals just a few months before a book about a drafting method for multishaft weaving, but Deb's curiosity about all things weaving has led her down delightful rabbit holes. (For her book Swatch Critters from the Pin Loom, she wove the whole rabbit!) In our conversation about weaving, writing, and inspiration, Deb talked about why she's excited about both new projects. “They're for people who just like to weave,” she says, “and they're curious about all different kinds of weaving things.” Listen in for a chat and excerpt from the books. From Deb's introduction: Pin looms appeared on the weaving scene in the 1930s as small wooden frames with nails around the perimeter that hold yarn to allow the weaving of small squares. The best-known brand was the “Weaveit” pin loom. Now I have to admit, previous experience with pin looms made out of wood did not make me a fan of pin loom weaving. The wooden looms can be hard to hold comfortably, the weaving needle would catch on the frame edges, and the nails are not always perfectly spaced. But Schacht Spindle Company's Zoom Loom resolved all the issues I had with pin looms. The frame is flat plastic that is easy to hold, the pins are placed precisely and securely anchored, the inside edges of the frame are beveled so the weaving needle does not catch a sharp edge when exiting, and as a bonus, the loom frame has directional notations for winding yarn onto the pin loom. I am in love with these little looms! From Deb's introduction: Welcome to profile drafting—a powerful weaving tool that lets us create one fabric design and translate it into many weave structures! Whether you are a beginning weaver or have been weaving for years, my intent is to open this wonderfully versatile design toolbox for you and explain how to use the tools inside. I consider profile drafts as weaving “shorthand,” where I can quickly see the overall fabric design and then plug in the treading, treadling, and tie-up for the block weave structure I want to use. I've taught prolife drafting for many years, and there are three big questions everyone has that I will answer in this book: Question 1: Why use a profile draft? Question 2: How do profile drafts work? Question 3: How do the squares on a profile draft translate into the threading, the treadling, and especially the tie-ups for different weave structures? This book is a sampler platter of block weave structures using profile drafts. I could literally write an entire book on each weave structure, but my intention is to answer those big questions above for each weave structure and whet your appetite for using profile drafting when designing fabrics. In the "Resources" section at the end of the book, I have listed other books that are dedicated to deeper dives into the different weave structures. All the projects can be woven on 4 or 8 shafts. If you have more shafts available on your loom, you can weave more blocks of pattern in your fabric. Deb Essen is a well-known weaving expert and a frequent contributor to Handwoven and other magazines. The owner of DJE Handwovens, Deb teaches at conferences and guilds, nationally and internationally. She lives in Victor, Montana.

This week, Andrew shows up for a minute before his night-night time, and then leaves Kevin and Lauren to fend for themselves to discuss Alien: Earth, Caught Stealing, Eenie Meanie, Oh, Hi!, Night Always Comes, The Gilded Age, and Peacemaker. Since Andrew is on borrowed time this week, he and Kevin quickly break down the latest episode of Alien: Earth. I have a feeling this will be a theme over the next few weeks... As with the previous episodes, this one does not disappoint. We are digging into these new characters and discovering some wild new species and skills that are making this show a must watch so far. After tucking Andrew in and singing him a lullaby, the show moves on with Lauren discussing her sneak peak of Caught Stealing. This one stars Austin Butler, Zoe Kravitz, and a handful of other big names. It's a solid action dramedy that seems to be exactly what the previews led us to believe - this is Darren Aronofsky channeling Guy Ritchie and it sounds like it worked pretty well. Next up, Kevin talks about the new Samara Weaving film, Eenie Meanie. This film is somehow both good and bad, corny and dramatic, and fun and sad. Trailers will definitely give shades of Gone in 60 Seconds or Baby Driver, and that's not entirely wrong, but at some point, the film siwtches up on you and tries to give to feels, which is arguably when it becomes the better film. Weaving is really solid, so if there's no other reason to watch, check her performance out. Heading out to the theater, Lauren discusses the film Oh, Hi! starring Molly Gordon and Logan Lerman. Imagine a genderswapped Gerlad's Game, but also a comedy.. If it sounds insane, well, it is a little. But with that being said, it is a lot of fun, if not chaotic. The crux of the story is that, when a woman finds out her latest love is a player, she puts him in a position where he has no choice but to face his decisions. Yeah, it's nuts, but it's fun! In an effort to kill that light mood, Kevin talks about the emotional suckage that is, Night Always Comes. It stars rising actress Vanessa Kirby as a down on her luck woman who needs to get $25,000 in a single night to save her family. In most films, this would turn into a fun caper, but here we spiral with this woman, diving deeper and deeper into her painful past. While Kirby is fantastic in the part, the film lacks any semblance of joy and ends with an odd decision, sure to leave you wishing you'd done almost anyting else with your time. As we power towards the end of the episode, Lauren brings joy back to our lives. She start watching, and quickly finished, The Gilded Age on HBO. It's a period piece, a la Downton Abbey, but in the US and a few decades earlier. Loosely based on the Venderbilt family, it's a story of new vs old money and all of the complications that come with high society. With standout performances from Carrie Coon, Christine Baransky, and Taisa Farmiga, this one is not to be missed. Kevin brings the show to a close with a quick review of the season 2 premiere of Peacemaker. If you watched season 1, this is more of the same, but in the best of ways. Gunn manages to retcon the DCEU in a fun way without disrespecting that universe. This season begins Peacemaker's multiversal journey into his own existential crisis. While absolutely hilarious, and expectedly raunchy, it has some wondeful heartfelt moments that are setting up some major decisions for Peacemaker to deal with throughout the season. As always, thank you for watching. If you haven't already, don't forget to Like & Subscribe. We love new viewers!

On this episode of Nature Revisited, Roger discusses the topic of his latest book Return of the Bison, which tells the story of how this symbol of the American West was once almost lost to history and of the continuing journey to bring the bison back from the brink. Weaving in natural history and interesting historical contexts, along with the key role of America's Indigenous people, Roger describes the complex history of the bison's decimation and how a rising awareness of their possible extinction formed the roots of many modern wildlife conservation approaches.

Some spinners and weavers picture the Schacht Spindle Company's factory as a large-scale operation churning out equipment by the hundreds. After all, Schacht's products are easily recognized in stores, studios, and guilds around the world. Others see the handmade touches—such as the ladybug on every Ladybug spinning wheel—and imagine Barry Schacht making every piece by himself. Although Schacht is “a tiny company in a tiny industry,” as Barry says, it has been decades since he built all the equipment himself. About four dozen employees manufacture looms, wheels, and other tools at the factory in Boulder, Colorado; some work their entire careers in the business. Barry has spent decades developing new equipment and refining old models with a new feature or a more effecient process. Many are surprised to learn that not only does author, editor, and teacher Jane Patrick work at Schacht, but she and Barry have been married for decades. As the editor of Handwoven magazine, she didn't advertise their relationship, but when her skills were needed in marketing, sales, and design, she joined the business. In addition to her roles at Schacht, Jane has advocated for small-loom weaving on rigid-heddle, inkle, and pin looms to involve new weavers and push the boundaries of design for little looms. After 56 years, although Schacht Spindle Company is going strong, Barry and Jane decided that it was time for them to hand over the reins. Barry met Paul Vervoorn, the new owner of Louët, at Convergence in 2024, and he saw someone who would continue the family-owned, community-focused, innovation-seeking nature of the company. Barry and Jane had already visited Louët's facilities in the Netherlands. The two companies announced in May 2025 that Louët would purchase Schacht, allowing Barry and Jane to retire. In this episode, Barry and Jane share stories from their decades at in weaving and spinning—and look at what's next.

In this talk, Jogen explores the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh on signlessness and interbeing, reminding us that calmness alone is not true liberation. Through vivid examples and guided contemplations, he invites us to look beyond labels like life and death, self and other, to experience reality more directly. Weaving together insights from zazen, koans, and daily life, Jogen emphasizes the importance of inquiry and wonder in practice. Ultimately, he shows how these explorations open us to a deeper flow with existence and a more boundless sense of being. This talk was given during the Sunday Night Program at Heart of Wisdom Zen Temple on July 27th 2025. ★ Support this podcast ★

In this conversation, Sara Jolena Wolcott and Hilary Giovale explore the themes of interconnectedness and the healing journey of decolonization. Beginning with one of their shared Nordic/Anglo-Saxon heritage's understandings of the web of life, known alternatively as Orlog/Wyrd, they inquire into the purpose and nature of ReMembering as participating in the web of life. They then move into Hilary's journey, which often echoes Sara Jolena's journey and might resonate with many listeners, including the importance of facing ancestral truths and the role of discomfort in personal growth. Hilary shares her experiences in writing her book, 'Becoming a Good Relative,' and the significance of feedback from diverse voices. How do we go between the spiritual and the practical? How do we build community among philanthropists and help philanthropists do our own work? How do we see the decolonial movement growing? We end with celebrating the incredible importance of music and the revitalization of ancestral languages.; The episode ends with some music by Carolyn Hillyer.  Grab your copy of Becoming a Good Relative: Calling White Settlers toward Truth, Healing, and RepairGood Relative WebsiteHillary's InstagramBook mentioned:For Indigenous Eyes Only: A Decolonization HandbookDecolonizing Wealth: Indigenous Wisdom to Heal Divides and Restore BalanceOrgs mentioned:Decolonizing Wealth ProjectMagnolia Mother's TrustMusic played: Sago An SnijoArtist: Carolyn HillyerMore about Carolyn's musicPlease do share and like this episode!

After today's show, you will fully understand why data centers are the most important issue of our time — and not in a good way. Weaving in my trip to beautiful Tucker County, West Virginia — ground zero for the rape of our mountains and farmland by Big Tech — I explain how conservative rural voters are being left in the dark and stripped of any legal authority to fight the data centers. Meanwhile, the data center model is already failing to produce results, yet is increasingly relying on shocking government tax favors and land-use rights. Republicans are actually worse on this issue than Democrats. Cloud storage for chat boxes is designed to turn humans into machines rather than using machines to benefit humans.

Some call it the Dragonfly's Dream, I once received this prophecy as the Dragon's Song.. In Human Design we call it the transition between the Cross of Planning to the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix. You may hear it referred to as the mutation of the 55th Gene Key, or the beginning of the new human..All of these point to a transition that we are currently moving into as humanity approaches 2027. And that's not to say that this particular year will be the one that changes everything, but more so- this is a light being shined on the fact that we are living in unprecedented times. And that the world we were born into will look very different then when we choose to leave. In this episode- I'm weaving the prophecies together; what I've heard from these systems, and what I've intuited myself about where we are going as a species. We will no longer be held up by the background frequency of big systemic programs- now each individual will be tasked (has already been tasked) with their own divine mission and individuation journey to wake ourselves up inside of the old program and become witness to the new human that is awakening through our unique bodies.I hope you enjoy this episode- it felt like the exact right time to share it with you all, and I'd love to hear if it resonates with you.

Those of us who understand the world cannot exercise power, while those who exercise power cannot understand the world. We have all fractured, but in different ways. Weaving together recent papers on the psychological correlates of scientific divisions, we ask: Why are lawyers and business majors so over-represented in elected offices? Why are engineers 17 times more likely to engage in authoritarian political violence than would be expected from their presence in the population? Why are social sciences majors so much more likely to participate in egalitarian political violence? We examine three psychologies, with correlated social role specializations and approaches to knowledge. We use the academy to illustrate these psychologies, calling them Technics, Science, and Literary Experiments. We then ask what the adventure of becoming more integrated beings looks like. In the process, we discover how conscious awareness of the multiple selves we contain characterizes both psychosis and the mystical experience—that the distinction is less one of logical structure than emotional tone. To overcome our fracture, we must become able to confront the strangeness of being a single body that contains many selves. 

As international aid dwindles, refugees worldwide face worsening food insecurity. Among thousands displaced by ongoing conflict in Myanmar, experts warn a humanitarian crisis is looming. Those who've found refuge in Australia are working to keep culture alive. - ミャンマーで生活するカレン族の人々にとって、織物はアイデンティティの一つです。そんな伝統をオーストラリアでも守っている女性たちがいます。

On today's podcast, we're going to talk about how modern technology and designs, in conjunction with social media, are injecting new energy into the art of traditional Tibetan carpet weaving in order to sustain and promote its cultural legacy.

 Today, we replay our extra-long July Fourth show, with a fresh introduction that makes it more relevant today than last month. I tie in the lessons and ideals of the founding fathers to the time we are living in today. Weaving together the final thoughts on the budget reconciliation bill and judicial tyranny, I demonstrate how MAGA Inc. is subverting its own stated beliefs because it's easier to declare victory on false hope rather than actually fight for results. As I predicted, the Supreme Court ruling on universal injunctions did nothing to stop the judicial tyranny. I list six reasons why that ruling was subversive. Yet MAGA leaders continue to perpetuate the myth of judicial supremacism in the Constitution when it flies in the face of the entire principle we celebrate on July Fourth. We need to have a plan. MAGA Inc.'s plan is to grift on social media off fake victories. It is incumbent upon us to formulate a real plan — if not federally, at least in a few states. Learn more about your ad choices.

Fifth generation Diné (Navajo) weavers Lynda Teller Pete and Barbara Teller Ornelas have been instrumental in rewriting the history and narrative surrounding Navajo weaving, a realm that for too long has been dominated by non-Navajo voices. This is exemplified by their two groundbreaking books Spider Woman's Children: Navajo Weavers Today and How to Weave a Navajo Rug and Other Lessons from Spider Woman, as well as their integral role in the creation of the exhibition Shaped by the Loom: Weaving Worlds in the American Southwest at the Bard Graduate Center, New York.
