258 Amanda Cassiday “Engather – Building Resilient Communities”

It wasn’t until Amanda Cassiday (she/her) lived in a rural village in Burkina Faso that she experienced the resilient power of community, and learned that positive, abundant outcomes are not possible without cultivating the conditions that allow individuals, teams, and communities to thrive. For 15 years, this approach has been a driving force in Amanda’s personal and professional life, from facilitating a woman-led microfinance group in Takaledougou that continues to operate since 2009, to leading design teams responsible for some of the most successful launches in Johnson & Johnson’s history, bringing purpose and consumer needs to the heart of strategy & innovation. She is a maker, a student of permaculture, an advisor, coach, and facilitator to businesses, and most recently the co-founder of Engather which seeks to cultivate prosperous, resilient communities by activating local gift economies.

Our conversation weaves through her experiences and the wisdom that she’s gleaned through them including thoughts about how capitalism and our current economy is not taking care of the needs of the majority, the codependency inherent in capitalism and the patriarchy, how she was able to step away from the toxicity of capitalism and build community in Kingston, and how community interdependence and belonging is essential for our survival. Along those lines, she recommends the book Community by Peter Block as providing some answers to big questions on how to get community back on track.

256 Spirituality and Politics – The New Year Birthday Show

It’s that time of the month! Marielena Ferrer returns for another conversation diving into politics and spirituality. Today on the show we talk about how we’re starting out the New Year and how our relationship to TIME has an impact on how we make decisions in life. We also set the tone for our talks on politics, explaining where we’re at and check in on our current feelings about the state of political affairs in the US. Today also happens to be my BIRTHDAY so Marielena kindly indulges me in a little Tarot Reading inspired by my personal new year.

Today’s show was engineered by Ian Seda from Radiokingston.org.

255 Happy New Year – Wheel of Life

Happy New Year friends! Today on the show I finish up the chapter that I began reading from last week and then we shift into New Year awareness with a little exercise designed perfectly for the slow wintery introspective time that we are in. It’s called the Wheel of Life and it takes us through an inventory of our life so that we can pause and reflect and live life more consciously. This exercise is perfectly aligned with this Friday’s Full Moon Astrology which I share briefly from Tanaaz’s blog Forever Conscious.

“Wherever this line of questioning leaves you, this first Full Moon of the year is a great time to consider ways to bring more alignment into your life. To assist you with this, try the journal prompt – ‘At the end of the day, what matters to me the most is…’ and see what inspiration follows.”

And here’s the Playlist we listened to.

254 “Jesus and the Lost Goddess”

Today in honor of Christmas and “Jesus’s Birthday,” I read from the book, Jesus and the Lost Goddess: The Secret Teachings of the Ancient Christians by Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy. I love this book and wanted to share some of its goodness.
