Of Dust & Divinity

Michelle (@theeverlycollective), Kate (@oddreform), and Kaben dive deep into creativity and what it is: the myths, the challenges, and the sweet, sweet joy of living in the flow of creative power.

Katie, Cheri, and Kaben explore the nexus between meaningful relationships, systemic deficiencies, ancient seeds of white supremacy, and what we'd do if we made our own religion.

Katie, Cheri, and Kaben explore the question, "What is the intersection between what is legal and what is just?" Our exploration takes us through social justice, white supremacy, our own backyards, and through history. It is an absolutely fantastic conversation.

Leila, Heather, and Kaben good deep into personal experiences with death, grief, and loss and share stories of hope and encouragement throughout as well. We explore the intersection of silence, death, the soul, the divine, and life.

Leila, Heather, and Kaben begin a journey toward a conversation on grief, loss, chronic illness, and death. We stop by the topic of "the sweetness of doing nothing" and the hollow allure of technology along the way.

Mimi, Becca, and Kaben explore the nuances of hosting multiple cultures within ourselves and how we carry that sense of hospitality into our neighborhoods and into the national conversation around what it means to be a people who flourish in diversity.

Mimi, Becca, and Kaben dive into what it means to elevate the voices of those so often silenced: refugees and those experiencing homelessness. In a surprise turn, we discover places where adverse childhood experiences overlap and it leads us to reflect on our own place in the world.

Ajira, Chelsea, and Kaben dive deeper into birthing, engaging source through transitions, and the medical-industrial complex: all the wonderful things about modern medicine and also why births don't fix into the matrix of what a hospital exists to accomplish.

Ajira, Chelsea, and Kaben talk about birthing through the lens of power structures, power fragility, and the immense and magical power that comes through giving birth.

Ajira, Chelsea, and Kaben explore what it means to be a birth worker and we get side-tracked into how birth work and the social uprising of protests against systemic racism hold a lot of overlap. This conversation spans multiple episodes, and I highly recommend tuning in to the whole thing.
