  • The Art of Blessing (Beyond “Happy New Year”)
    What is a blessing? Host Timothy Regan's take on it is this: "A blessing is an act or words that amplify the life force, within yourself or anyone else. A blessing acknowledges or names something essential for someone, and brings a wish that this be fulfilled--a wish of loving kindness for the fulfillment of someone's needs, and the calming and happiness that comes from that. And in the heart of every blessing may be one message: 'I behold you, I care, and you matter.'"
    You have the power to bless yourself and others. If you want to grow this power for a world that needs your blessing, this New Year's Eve episode of Talk It Out Radio offers much-needed blessings and practice in the art of blessing. Listen if you want to hear callers and host Timothy Regan put their blessings out into the world and share beautiful blessings for who and what matters.

  • Global Social Movements: The Value of Nonviolent Communication Across Differences (Intersectionality) and Trauma
    Are you interested in hearing how the practice of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) across differences such as gender, race, class, power and privilege contributes to global social movements? Host Nancy Kahn explores this with ​​Ashley Davis, a young black queer poet, activist, educator and student of NVC, who recently accompanied Nancy on a trip to Sao Paolo, Brazil, as her assistant on a human rights initiative.
    Nancy and Ashley discuss how the practice of Nonviolent Communication across differences of gender, race, class, power and privilege provides critical skills for
    • advancing global social movements
    • raising awareness of intersectionality and complex identities
    • navigating conflict
    • improving collaboration, holding difficult and sensitive conversations
    • naming the existence of trauma

      • People leading global social movements often carry trauma from multiple forms of oppression, while trying to impact structural systems of power and inequality, and not knowing how to address trauma within global social movements. This can negatively impact the advancement of these movements.

      Ashley Davis is a California-native, New-York-educated, Boston-bred, Philly-based black bi-racial, queer, femme, womxn, poet, educator, witch who writes and collaborates on projects about the intersectionality of those identities, the history of trauma within those communities, and the importance/necessity of healing within those communities. Ashley has performed on national poetry stages and organized workshops for youth and community. Ashley participated in the New York Nonviolent Communication 8 day intensive, is a participant in Nonviolent Leadership Across Race, Gender, Class Program led by Nancy Kahn. Ashley is currently living with her grandmother and great-grandmothers, prioritizing root exploration.
