Bernard Berenson’s War Diaries

In musing about the War Diaries (1939-45) of Bernard Berenson, a Jewish art critic and historian of the Renaissance, Watts discusses the falsity of some efforts to disavow the ego, and a syndrome of fear of experience that prevents some people from living life fully.

Nataly Kogan: Living in a Friendly and Joy-Filled Universe

https://resources.soundstrue.com/podcast/nataly-kogan-living-in-a-friendly-and-joy-filled-universe/

S H 11-03-23 SS What brings you your greatest joy? How do you access your inner “awesome”? Nataly Kogan has made it her life’s work to help people overcome burnout and break free from endless busyness. In this podcast, Tami Simon speaks with Nataly about her new book, The Awesome Human Journal, and the practical steps we can begin to take right now to shift out of self-defeating thought patterns (and their corresponding emotions), reclaim our energy, and share our gifts with the world.



Tune in as Tami and Nataly discuss insights from neuroscience that everyone should know; the human brain’s negativity bias; creating a better relationship with your thoughts—a key to well-being and emotional fitness; the worst-case scenario exercise; finding certainty in uncertain times; working within your sphere of impact; cultivating agency; freedom from skepticism and mistrust; living an aligned life in a universe that is friendly; energetic self-care; breaking the habit of denying ourselves joy; changing our habitual frame of reference to something positive and supportive; and more.

The Magical Mystery Tour with Tonio Epstein

The Path to Being Nature and What we can Re-Learn from Our Animal Kin w/ Gay Bradshaw

Gay Bradshaw is the founder and director of The Kerulos Center for Nonviolence. She holds doctoral degrees in ecology and psychology and was the first scientist to recognize and diagnose PTSD in Elephants, Chimpanzees, Orcas, and other Animals. She is the director and primary caregiver for rescued domesticated Animals and Indigenous Wildlife at Grace Village, formerly The Tortoise and the Hare Sanctuary. Her books include the Pulitzer-nominated Elephants on the Edge: What Animals Teach Us about Humanity; Carnivore Minds: Who These Fearsome Animals Really Are; Talking with Bears: Conversations with Charlie Russell; and The Elephant Letters: The Story of Billy & Kani. She is the co-author of The Evolved Nest: Nature’s Way of Raising Children & Creating Connected Communities with Darcia Narvaez.



In this interview / conversation we talk about the beautiful social and emotional intelligence of animal communities in the wild that we have lost during our last 10,00+ years of agricultural, colonial and industrial modernity. And what it would take to regain that which came naturally to humans before that.



In the dazzle of Nature’s extraordinary diversity, it’s easy to overlook how similar we are. Even though humans & other Animals look different on the outside, inside, beneath the fur, fins, feathers, scales & skin we are very much alike, including our brains. Animals ranging from the giant Sperm Whale & the tuxedoed Penguins to the ancient African Elephant & the astonishing Octopus share with humans, brain structures and processes that give us capacities for consciousness, thinking, feeling, loving & dreaming. We also share a common system for raising our young: the evolved nest.

The Magical Mystery Tour is a show that dives into the heart of things exploring new ideas and new ways of seeing and being in this wondrous crazy world we share together. New shows are available weekly by Monday. Feel free to contact Tonio at 802-229-5123 or tonio@together.net

FINDING A WAY OUTTA NO WAY

Halloween Lunar Eclipse “Finding a way outta no way”, Caroline welcomes Sean Padraic O’Donohue, Bardic guide, at this time when the dead speak to the living, at this waxing Full Moon lunar eclipse, when we see the earth’s shadow, visible as it turns red over Gaza and Israel Saturday night, that we may do all we can to animate the desirable, invoke necessary miracles; That we honor the Moon, exalted in Taurus, the sacredness of all life, that it not be sacrileged by the cruel devolutionary nadir of our rogue species… The Moon’s guiding image will be “A cantilever bridge over a rocky gorge, finding a way to get from here to there.” https://otherworldwell.com/
