Sounds True – Insights at the Edge with Tami Simon

Mpho Andrea Tutu van Furth: I’m Here for Love

“If we as a world ever got even a hint of the incredible love with which God loves us, we would be living in such a different world than we do now.” These are the wise words of Mpho Andrea Tutu van Furth, Tami Simon’s guest in this deeply moving podcast, an inspiring conversation with the daughter of the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu and coauthor of the online course Unstoppable Joy.

Tami and Mpho explore deep faith and finding one’s path to God; the human tendency to act in ways that are counter to love; shifting from unworthiness to unconditional love; having a faith journey and “forging your own way up the mountain”; carrying forth the legacy of Desmond Tutu for a more just and inclusive world; the transformative teaching, “When in doubt, choose love”; real courage; accessing the source of unstoppable joy; disagreeing without being disagreeable; the practice of “disappearing into prayer”; and more.

Note: This episode originally aired on Sounds True One, where these special episodes of Insights at the Edge are available to watch live on video and with exclusive access to Q&As with our guests. Learn more at join.soundstrue.com.

The Reverend Canon Mpho Tutu van Furth is an Episcopal priest, artist, author, accomplished public speaker, and retreat facilitator.

Sean Milanovich (Cahuilla), Gathering Fire, Sacred Sites and Lithium Extraction (parts 2 and 3 of an interview with Robert Lundahl)

Sean Milanovich is a former Chairman of the Agua Caliente Tribe of Cahuilla Indians, and current Vice President of the Native American Land Conservancy. He recently participated in the Indigenous led Bioneers convention in Rancho Mirage/Palm Springs on the Rights of Nature.

What Are the Rights of Nature in Indian Country?

Rights of Nature is a global movement spreading across Indian Country to protect our lands and natural resources for generations to come by recognizing nature’s legal rights. At its core, Rights of Nature law codifies Indigenous values for caring for Mother Earth. For the last 4 years, the Bioneers Indigeneity team has been exploring how Rights of Nature can be implemented by Tribes in the United States.

We ran our strategy across a working group of Tribal leaders, attorneys, and organizers. We meticulously researched intersections of the law to anticipate ways to bring about Rights of Nature in Indian Country.

We developed a guide for Tribal organizers to build capacity to present and pass a Rights of Nature law to protect lands, waters, and key species. And, we have begun to share information with Tribes interested in exploring Rights of Nature through regional workshops in the Southwest and Northeast. #Bioneers #Cahuilla #Chemehuevi
