Whispers of the Himalaya with Ajayan Borys In 1996 meditation teacher Ajayan Borys journeyed to the source of the Ganges River high in India’s Himalayas. Intent on self-realization, he discovered a deserted cave in a Himalayan forest and for two months lived there alone, meditating in silence, surviving on one sparse meal a day.  Through unexpected friendships with holy men, encounters with madmen and the Indian army, surviving harsh mountain conditions (including scorpions and mind-numbing cold), he was opened to the depths of the human Spirit—and to universal insights, the “whispers” of the Himalayas. Your listeners will love to hear about Ajayan's adventures and his inspiring insights born of the clash between the human ego and its striving for the highest of human ideals. Ajayan Borys has instructed and guided thousands of meditation students in North America, Australia, Europe, and India over the past 45 years. He is the founder of Effortless Mind® Meditation and author of several books, including Whispers of the Himalaya and Effortless Mind: Meditate with Ease. The host of Mind Matters Radio on Alternative Talk Radio 1150 KKNW, he teaches meditation workshops and retreats in the Pacific Northwest and the Himalayas. He lives in the Seattle area.

Spiritual Anatomy: Realigning Body and Soul with Ginny Nadler If you are suffering neck, back or leg pain, there's a high probability that your body is distorted to one side or the other--even if you are not aware of it. You've been tweaked to one side ever since you emerged from childhood. Your body compensates, and when it does, it puts a strain on areas not meant to be out of alignment.  Ginny Nadler is the author of Spiritual Anatomy: Realigning Body & Soul, and creator of Structural ReAlignment Integration® (SRI) which draws on her years as a wellness educator and body alignment specialist to support individuals with stressed structures to be pain-free and rediscover freedom in movement. Her work helps awaken individuals to the deep, intergenerational trauma that exists in their cell structures and she collaborates with practitioners of other modalities seeking a deeper framework for their own approach to movement, trauma, and pain management.

Saving Charlotte: A Mother and the Power of Intuition ~ Guest: Pia de Jong When her newborn daughter Charlotte is diagnosed with a rare and deadly leukemia, Pia and her husband Robbert make a momentous decision: they reject potentially devastating chemotherapy and instead choose to “wait for what will come.” As the following year unfolds, Pia enters a disorienting world of doctors, medical procedures, and a colorful cast of neighbors and protectors in her native Amsterdam. Her seventeenth-century canal house becomes her inner sanctum, a private “cocoon” where she sweeps away distractions in order to give Charlotte the unfiltered love and strength she needs. Pia’s instinctive decision, now known as “watchful waiting,” has become another viable medical option in many cases like Charlotte’s. This deeply felt memoir reveals the galvanizing impact one child can have on a family, a neighborhood, and a worldwide medical community.

Teaching with Tenderness Toward an Embodied Practice with Becky Thompson Ph.D. Teaching with Tenderness follows in the tradition of bell hooks's Teaching to Transgress and Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed, inviting us to draw upon contemplative practices (yoga, meditation, free writing, mindfulness, ritual) to keep our hearts open as we reckon with multiple injustices. Teaching with tenderness makes room for emotion, offers a witness for experiences people have buried, welcomes silence, breath and movement, and sees justice as key to our survival. It allows us to rethink our relationship to grading, office hours, desks, and faculty meetings, sees paradox as a constant companion, moves us beyond binaries; and praises self and community care. Tenderness examines contemporary challenges to teaching about race, gender, class, nationality, sexuality, religion, and other hierarchies. It examines the ethical, emotional, political, and spiritual challenges of teaching power-laden, charged issues and the consequences of shifting power relations in the classroom and in the community. Attention to current contributions in the areas of contemplative practices, trauma theory, multiracial feminist pedagogy, and activism enable us to envision steps toward a pedagogy of liberation.

Children's Corner: The Fourth Ruby (YA) with James R. Hannibal It’s been a year since Jack Buckles discovered the Keep beneath Baker Street, an underground tower no Section Thirteen was ever supposed to see; a year since his dad fell into a coma. Nothing has been the same since. Jack’s tracker abilities are on the fritz, Gwen’s not speaking to him and, what’s worse, there’s a pounding voice in his head calling for “the flame.” Jack and Gwen are framed for the theft of a historic crown jewel—the Black Prince’s Ruby, one of three cursed rubies said to bring knowledge, loyalty, and the command of nations to whoever wields them all. Now, they must retrieve the other jewels before the true thief does, or risk unleashing a reign of terror unlike anything history’s ever seen. As a former stealth pilot, James R. Hannibal is no stranger to secrets and adventure. He has been shot at, locked up with a surface to air missiles, and chased down a winding German road by an armed terrorist. He is the award-winning author of the Section 13 mysteries for kids and the Nick Baron covert ops series for adults. James lives with synethesia, meaning his senses intersect. If he tells you the chocolate cake you offered smells blue and sticky, take it as a compliment.
