Mother Tree Network

In this interview Amanda and I discuss:

• What’s Good about Fall and Rainbow Trees
• How to integrate racial justice values into our families, especially with young children.

Amanda offers specific tips.

• How you can only bring what you have to racial justice work and how she has increased her capacity over the last five years to go from freezing and appeasing to calling out racism.
• How to help her children hold a Jewish identity in a Christian dominant culture.
• How to go from an extremely hectic schedule with kids, building a business, and community racial justice work to taking time for stillness, quiet and contemplation.

Amanda took a gradual approach that helped her stick to it.

• How Doing Less and Doing Meditation has enabled her to show up with more healing and Presence for her children, clients, and community.
• How Amanda’s school district Diversity Equity and Inclusion Committee works and why she felt it was important to do that work and let other things go.
• How sometimes we use our fatigue and exhaustion as a badge of honor, as proof that we are good enough.  But we are already good enough.

In this episode I complete the story of how I transformed my sacred work in the world.

I made three shifts:

1. I let other people lead.  I let go of the story that the work could not happen without me teaching or being physically present.  I asked and then allowed my co-facilitators to lead Transform your Conversations about Racism, a live training which only happens once a year without me.  Team members Erika Fitz and Kristen Mun did a fabulous job while I walked in my yard and garden–figuring out how to get  “close to the ground and open to deep earth vibrations.
2. I meditated more and nourished my spirit.  My son Gabriel was an unexpected and amazing teacher.
3. I set up a tent in my back yard and began to write journal notes to tree.  But everything changed when I listened and then I started to record what they said back to me!

When I turned inward I was surprised by the answers I received.  I 

1. They way out of a cycle is to spiral up by shifting consciousness;
2. You can shift your consciousness by not seeing life as a drama between Victims, Saviors, and Villains.
3. I recap my process for connecting with the Divine Mother for safety and guidance.

“I’m enough now, yesterday, and forever.”--Joyce Washington


If you’ve ever been the first woman, the only Black, or person of color and advocated for more inclusion, have you wondered how you could open the door for others?

Well, Racial Justice and Community Advocate Joyce Washington has broken down barriers and made sure that though she was the first in her Fortune 100 company, she was not the last.  

Embodying the principles of a Mother Tree, Joyce actively recruited, mentored, and protected women of all colors, Black men and others who were excluded by business as usual practices.

In this episode she breaks down her strategy for engaging power structures, her mindset regarding difference, and her practices for staying in the body.  

Listen as Joyce shares her inspiring story which begins in rural segregated Tennessee where she and her sister “integrated” a southern white high school in the 1960s.

 Joyce is one of those people who always leaves you feeling like you can do anything after you talk with her.

And she does it with LOVE.

This Mother Tree Network  helps exhausted and grieving social justice mystics, teachers and healers to rest and discover their sustainable sacred work so that they can stop trying to do everything and instead hold the love vibration.

Do you remember the reese's peanut butter cup commercial where peanut butter bumped in to chocolate and --wow, something yummy was born?

Well, this sort of happened with Michael's home recording of Bach and my podcast about how terrifying it feels to put my woo-woo, fifth dimensional a*s out here.

Somehow Michael and I ended up blending our very vulnerable recordings and you get a weirdly beautiful elevated story!
