In our fourth and final episode of this Advent season of the Culture Care Podcast, artist, author and speaker Mako Fujimura guides us through a meditation on love in the midst of grief and loss.

"What if the power of community is not in display of power, but in the acknowledgment of our weaknesses?"

In episode three of Culture Care Podcast Season Two, we are guided by liturgist Brianna Kinsman through a meditation on peace in the midst of confusion and anxiety.

"...peace has to move our imaginations from a singular arrival point or pact to a road we choose to walk each hour, in each season, in rest and unrest. Peace is a labyrinth we walk daily."

In this second episode of Culture Care Podcast Season Two, we are guided by musician and theologian Jeremy Hunt through a meditation on joy in the midst of loneliness and solitude.

"Being fully alive brings a whirlwind of contradictions, inviting us further in to get caught up with the mystery of where the finite and Infinite can come face to face."

In this first episode of Culture Care Podcast Season Two, we are guided by artist and theologian Julia Hendrickson through a meditation on hope in the midst of long-suffering and illness.

"How do you walk with what remains unresolved? How do you remain in relationship with uncertainty?"

Welcome to Season Two of the Culture Care Podcast! After a long pause, we return with a series of liturgies for advent...a season of uncertainties. We invite you to befriend the unfinished and the nebulous, and to pause with us at the threshold of the liminal.

An Epilogue...and an Invitation.

In this finale of "Light Through The Cracks," the Culture Care team reflects on the conversations and discoveries made over the course of the season. We also dream and chat about what will be ahead in Season 2 of the Culture Care podcast.

Welcome back to part two of our conversation with Shann Ray. Our chat continues unpacking the themes of part one, considering forgiveness and restoration, and mending to make new.

How do we forgive each other? How do we make amends, both as individuals and as a collective? These questions and many more are at the heart of this episode, part one of a conversation with Shann Ray, a professor of leadership and forgiveness studies at Gonzaga University.

In this episode, Mako and Brianna chat with musician and composer Susie Ibarra, reflecting on the power of water sounds, our collective impact on our planet, and the transformative influence of listening on our well-being.
