Centering at the End of the World11 Mar 202100:22:43

The Brown sisters are back with a new season and this one will include some fundamental practices that help us survive and may help our listeners.adrienne spent the last decade on a learning journey with generative somatics, learning about healing trauma in and through the body. One key practice in somatics is centering, having a center within ourselves to which we can continuously return and from which we can embody and shape the world and relationships and healing we need.

Bye 202031 Dec 202001:23:31

The Brown sisters give each other permission to rest, reflect on lessons and appreciations for the year, and ask for feedback!

Note: When they recorded this episode, the sisters thought they were finishing early, not realizing that they were ahead of recording schedule and had the year done. So without any additional labor after recording this episode, they made it thru the full season. In case you were worried, they're good. And love you. XO

Politically Potent, at Dartmouth03 Dec 202001:18:49

The sisters speak with students at Dartmouth about the political potency of this moment in context of our histories, uplifting lessons from our ancestors, this uprising time, finding our work and saving what we love.

note: adrienne critiques the term 'people of color' in this episode, and to be clear, she is speaking not of the phrase in its original purpose of solidarity, but of the collapsing use of the phrase to erase the nuance of distinct cultural experiences.

Before we come back with a full fall slate of episodes, we want to share this episode of Your Attention Please from Hulu and IHeartRadio.

In 2019, Tomi Adeyemi followed up her best-selling debut novel, Children of Blood and Bone, with another installment in the Legacy of Orïsha series, Children of Virtue and Vengeance. Readers have fallen in love with Adeyemi's stories, which are magical and transporting but also so resonant in today's world. In this episode, Kimberly chats with Tomi about believing your dreams are possible, having the right people on your team, and bad spinoffs. And, naturally, Tomi has all the best metaphors for life.

Guest Podcast: Fortification 08 Jul 202001:12:08

As our summer break continues, we're so excited to feature an episode from our friends at the Fortification podcast. 

Future: Spiritual and political mandates for our future

The conversation began with these questions: Where is this present moment taking us? What can we radically imagine for our future survival knowing what we know now? In times of crisis, seemingly impossible ideas become imaginable. What does or might the economy of healthcare, the collective practice of care, look like on the other side of this? What is your best and worst case scenario? What is the spiritual mandate of this new time? What is our charge moving forward?

Learn more about the guests. Find a transcript of the conversation.

This episode is part of a series in collaboration with Cara Page, Susan Raffo and Anjali Taneja. Learn more about their work at Healing Histories;Disrupting the Medical Industrial Complex. Editing by Wazi Maret www.wazimaret.com, transcription support by Kolenge Fonge and music by Abhimanyu Janamanchi.

Guest Podcast: Tarot for the End of Times02 Jul 202000:24:40

2020 is an Emperor Year, a 4 year, so we thought it would be particularly helpful to uplift episode 7: The Emperor, from Tarot for the End of Times, hosted by Sarah Cargill, to give us some sense of what we're facing and what we are feeling.

SUBSCRIBE to Tarot for the End of Times, wherever you listen to pods.

The Emperor's sacred fire has the capacity to assist in performing great acts of human compassion and nurturance, as well as the power to destroy all that it touches. This episode teaches us about walking this razor's edge.

Apocalypse Survival Skill #7: The Internet is a Place16 May 202001:08:16

Now more than ever we are relying on the internet to satisfy our basic needs and desires. This begs the question, what are apocalypse survival skills for the internet? How do we use the internet as a tool for survival? How do we maintain safety for our communities and our movements for social change when so much of that work must now happen digitally? And what exactly is the internet, anyway? For answers, we turn to digital security expert and organizer for change, Bex Hong Hurwitz of Tiny Gigantic.

One answer is to take over vacant homes and buildings, an activity commonly known as squatting. In this episode, Autumn interviews Vikki Law, a prison abolitionist and squatters’ rights activist. Vikki takes us deep inside the story of how vacant buildings in New York City that started out as squats in the 70s and 80s, became permanent homes for their residents. https://victorialaw.net/ @LVikkiml music by Mother Cyborg and Tunde Olaniran and Trans Alp. - www.patreon.com/Endoftheworldshow www.endoftheworldshow.org/ www.instagram.com/endoftheworldpc/ @endoftheworldPC @adriennemaree @meansagittarius

Staying In with Emily and Kumail27 Mar 202000:08:04
Beloved Survivors, as we work away on our upcoming survival mini-series, we have another special guest treat to share. You might know Kumail and Emily from their collaboration on the 2017 film, The Big Sick. Now they have a super relevant new podcast not about the Coronavirus, but rather about the do’s and don’ts of staying inside during this extremely bizarre situation we find ourselves in. Emily V. Gordon and Kumail Nanjiani are both writers who work from home. Emily was a therapist and currently is a chronically sick person (see: The Big Sick) who often has to quarantine herself, and Kumail is her main caretaker. The podcast features movie, TV, and video game recommendations along with advice from these long time experts working from home and staying indoors. They also call their friends and family to check in and offer tips on how everyone is keeping their heads on straight while socially isolating. All proceeds from the podcast go to charities for people hardest hit by the virus. To listen to the show, just search for Staying In with Emily and Kumail in Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever you listen. We hope you find some comfort here.

Guest Podcast: Decolonizing the Crone19 Feb 202000:55:17
North Carolina Poet Laureate Jaki Shelton Green drops blessings like ripe mango into our laps. Walls breathe a heavy sigh of relief as she shreds the puny narratives we have about who we are and our power to reanimate and reclaim our medicine... our magic. She calls forth specters who resemble our own shadows and reminds us that we can, that we have no choice but to reknit ourselves back together with the medicine that never left us. It sits at the back of our throats waiting for release. It burns. It illuminates. She says... “Medicine is dark and thick like blood” She asks... “Where does your creative medicine intertwine with your work?” She ponders... “How do you court your muse?” She chides... “An anorexic muse is a dying muse” She proclaims... “Medicine informs the muse, the muse informs the medicine. It is a sacred symbiotic relationship” Thank you Mama Jaki. I feel like I left my body several times during our conversation. Thank you for spoon feeding me back myself when I was 5 years old, wise and believed in my own magic.. And so it is on the dark side of the moon.

A Motherful World with Alexis Pauline Gumbs02 Aug 202400:29:10

You know we love Alexis Pauline Gumbs here at HTS, so we're so excited to present her episode from a show we recently discovered. It's called Mother is a Question.

MIAQ is an invitation into the depths of mothers’ hearts, minds and stories. Join best friends Julia Metzger-Traber and Tasha Haverty as they crack open definitions of motherhood and listen for the unspeakable through playful, intimate conversations with mothers from all walks of life. Mother is a Question is a portal into the kaleidoscopically different and yet universal experiences of what it means to mother.

Not another chat show sharing practical advice from the daily frontlines of mothering, but a space to live in the questions, and enlist the existential and poetic wisdom of those who mother. What would the world be if we took mothers’ questions and their wisdom seriously?

Tasha and Julia, both mothers of babies and small children– sleepless and overwhelmed, renewed and disjointed, transformed and confused – are seeking wisdom from all directions. But rather than expecting any final answers, each question opens up many more. The hosts’ own friendship dynamic–with their sometimes contrasting fascinations and struggles in motherhood–guides each episode, fed by a flow of listeners’ reflections and stories shared on the show’s “heartline,” a voicemail box, exploring that episode’s central question.

On this episode they ask...

What if humans could evolve into our most nurturing and creative selves?  What if society were organized around care instead of extraction and destruction?  What if we followed the leadership of those who mother?  Well, Alexis Pauline Gumbs, self-proclaimed Black Feminist Love Evangelist, thinks we have to.  It's urgent.  And she calls this possibility Motherful.  This episode, Alexis Pauline Gumbs, a poet and one of Julia's philosopher heroes, will be our guide to A Motherful World.
