Host Joy Gilfilen engages in a Civic Cafe discussion with Irene Morgan about the cultural, socioeconomic, and emotional impacts of the past few years of global upheaval. The upheaval resulted in high levels of fear due to military control implemented "for public safety." This control created ripple effects across countries, cultures, and entire industries. It caused disruptions on so many levels that it's difficult to see the long-term domino effects of shutdowns, lockdowns, and the trauma inflicted on people from different backgrounds.

The discussion delves into the economic dark side of fear and how living in family units and on farms can provide a buffer against it. They also explore how media distortion of information for fear-mongering generates profit but harms people. The conversation highlights how mass media can promote mass domination and mass incarceration. Ultimately, they emphasize the importance of shifting focus towards caring for people and healing trauma.

Join Joy Gilfilen, host, as she discusses the Solar eclipse of 2024 with Eric from last week about how the planets revolving through space will change the future inevitably. It's wisdom seen over time. It's physics as we record patterns of predictable reality when we pay attention. If we are not watching, we do not see. So, sages watch and track.

We know that human behaviors change when tides change. We feel it. Much is to be learned from how the planets are positioned when the sun shines and time passes over thousands of years. What comes next? Listen to Eric Thompson discuss what he has learned from studying the movement of planets through thousands of years of history and how this will affect our beliefs about slavery, freedom, culture, and society.

Join Joy Gilfilen, host, as she talks about justice and how it relates to our local and global history, the earth, the moon, physics, and the waters of the world. The Eclipse of April 8, 2024, is a significant topic for many civic scientists, physicists, farmers, 1st responders, healers, original nations people, and sages from all faiths. Why?

They study the past to anticipate the future and know that human behaviors change when tides change, which has social, civic, and economic impacts. They know that when planets change positions in the universe, tides change, changing the emotional status of everything that everyone is doing around the world. Listen to Eric Thompson discuss what he has learned from studying the movement of planets through thousands of years of history and how this is affecting our beliefs about slavery, freedom, culture, and society.

“Singing for Peace and Justice”Shawn Gallaway, a Singer-Songwriter speaks with host Joy Gilfilen and Irene Morgan about the power of art, expression and leadership as it relates to the business of justice. As many of us know, music often paves the way for change. When the world is under great stress, often it is the music of love in action, that can make a difference. We all know that we are at "ChoicePoint" in the world today to take compassionate action, so listening to many of his original songs online may inspire, uplift and bring joy to many.

Shawn talks about his journeys towards peace and why he recently recorded his original solo "I Choose Love" song (after 9/11) to become "WE Choose Love" performed by four singers more recently!

It reflects the importance of including more voices in the vision of bringing hope, compassion, and freedom to a world desiring facing fear and conflict. The desire of peace, vitality and love can help us flip the switch!

Joy Gilfilen, Host of iChange Justice, has been hosting civic cafe style talks in her community about "Dome Homes and Intentional Villages". The question eventually boils down to discussing public will and how we can team up to solve the complex and compound challenges of homelessness, the high costs of living, disaster, emergency and climate crisis issues while also building functional cities and towns.

This excerpt features an AfterChat with Marc Santos and Maryam Sharifi. They advocate for building highly effective and functional Geodesic Dome Homes and tiny home intentional villages as a bridge to the future. Together, we discuss the opportunities in small groups to pilot, test and resolve some of the most snarly issues about public acceptance.

Joy Gilfilen, Host of the iChange Justice Podcast, interviews Marc Santos of NobleGoldman.com about how "Regenerative Economics" is the next step in transforming the business of injustice. It is all about learning how to value humans inside an economic system that includes rebuilding our communities. At this point, the economy is enrolled in a degenerative pattern of exclusion for the benefit of the privileged interests that control the system.

To understand the complexity of the problem, we do a flashback into history. Marc explains how changes in monetary policies going back to the 70s and the Friedman Doctrine changed the balance of power in our economies in the 80s and 90s, which is even more extreme today. It created a serious imbalance in favor of "shareholder supremacy," which has been deeply misrepresented and convoluted throughout our discussions in the civic square. This has led to extreme conflicts in so many ways that it is riddled with doublespeak, greed, and extreme civic trauma. The negative impact is felt at every societal level - yet in the middle is a thread of common sense that we can use to heal the heartbreak as we reknit our society using restorative economic tools.
