“We are in a beautiful dream. We can choose to live our traumas, but we also have dreams. And I encourage everybody to live the dream, where we are calling for this new world, where we all live in abundance, where we all live together, nourishing each other, respecting each other.”"I really love the roots of the German Women. They have fire in their ass."

"I am very aware that this is not just about my personal stuff, this is much bigger. And I didn't come back in order to just live a more or less good life. There is more, and I am on my way to find out what that is."

Dagmar Thürnagel is a Possibility Management Coach, and Trainer, Feelings PractitionerIllusion Slayer, Researcher and a Peaceful Warrioress, who speaks in this episode about Healing.

In June 2023, Dagmar had a recreational sports accident that changed her life. From a broken leg she caught gas gangrene, a highly dangerous infection of soft tissue that led to the amputation of one of her legs. For about 3 months, Dagmar's survival was at risk - her chances to live were at 20%. Since then, she is learning life afresh.

In this episode, Dagmar shares raw of her experience, her choice to live, as well as the challenges and the possibilities that lay in her accident and that are present in her Healing journey. She also speaks of Healing and the interrelation between healing individually and healing of the collective.

"Healing in itself cannot be personal. It's always connected with the collective, with the community, with all humans (...)"

A new facet of RAW Edgecast has emerged: RAW music!

LISTEN, a song performed by Juliana Griese, originally by Meredith Buck.

Juliana shared this song with the note that she learned about it through a workshop with Lydia Violet Harutoonian, who was a guest at RAW only recently.

We are all connected, and the mycelium network amongst us is strong and growing.

"Do not doubt yourself a single second."

This interview of Ingrid Schmithüsen by Hannah Abouzaharah and Annika Korsten is special in many ways:

Ingrid was found to have ALS, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, almost 2 years ago. Ingrid is dying from this disease, which is a neurodegenerative disorder that results in the progressive loss of both upper and lower motor neurons that normally control voluntary muscle contraction.

Due to the loss of her speech, Ingrid is using a text to speech technology, hence her speech in the recording is an automated voice. The process of writing takes some time, and we have intentionally left some of the pauses to invite you to slow down with Ingrid. You will also be able to hear her sound as she is typing.

Ingrid is paving the path for a conscious way of dying that is truly inspiring. In this interview, you will hear her speak of accepting the disease, of the illusion of death, of her Being residing in the energetic body, of a life free from stories, and of being fully alive in each moment.

In the presence of Ingrid, you get to experience Love.

Her coaching for other Women: "Do not doubt yourself a single second."

Patricia Anzini and Alexandra Lopes are speaking with Julia Neumann about their project to create a regenerative culture in Academia through conscious relating, communication, and integral learning. Coming from quite different backgrounds, these Women are taking a stand for:  

- empowering students and step out of old hierarchies and modes of thinking and operating, 

- shifting from teaching to spaceholding,

- radically reinventing communication in the classroom,

- shifting from content-based to experience-based learning, 

- bringing Relating and conscious feeling into the academic world,

- shifting culture.

Their goal is a regenerative future in university, where life is at the center.

Listen in to hear Patricia and Alexandra share their experiences especially from their programme "CommunicAR.TE". ComunicAR.TE is a training for developing relational and communication intelligence, anchored in the academic context and based on a few maps and distinctions of Possibility Management. It runs as a 6 weeks programme that has had two editions to date (August 2024). It is a compulsory programme for post-doc and a voluntary programme for PhD students at Universidade Catolica in Lisbon, Portugal. 

Both Patricia and Alexandra are open to speaking, collaborating, and other ways of information-sharing about their lessons learned in bringing tools of Possibility Management and beyond to academia and other organisations.

In this inter-view with Julia Neumann, Lydia Violet speaks about the stand that she is, about The Work That Reconnects, about her Love of being a Woman, her Yes to life and jumping in both feet, and her journey of gaining self-confidence, claiming her own, as well as her challenges in life with depression.

It is a lively conversation, from the larger body of The Work that Reconnects to Lydia Violet's personal experiences, and everything in between.

Julia Neumann was interviewed by Millicent Haughey⁠ for this episode, as a special journey is taking form for her.

Julia speaks about her latest project of travelling, researching and documenting the indigeneity of Women: Indigenous Woman Documentary. It is a collective project emerging from Julia's Question of what it means to be indigenous as a Western Woman. Part of the journey is to radically trust that this initially personal journey is deeply relevant to many other women, and life on the planet.

Julia shares of her journey thus far, and the potential she witnesses in Women to reclaim their indigeneity, beyond reason, to the Earth. When Women radically honour their deep connectedness to Everything, and their capacity to let life through, the urgently necessary shifts in consciousness become a real possibility.

RAW Voices brings you written words, read out loud by the author. This article is "Do not follow" by Millicent Haughey.

"Do not follow her when you see her walking ahead. Do not think that you are walking there too.

Do not follow. Like a dog lonely in the night.

Then again do not stop walking because you are scared. Lean into that. Lean towards. Lean forward into.

Do not give up.

Do not give in.

Don’t let go.

Do not let go of something that is not yet here.

Do not decide that your life is over.

Do not wait until it is too late.

Do not believe your doubts.

Even before you know how, start moving. Move into your fear. Let it guide you like a lost friend. Let the fear unfold its riches for you.

I don’t have the answers and I do not wish to lead you anywhere. Except into the shape of your own sinuous heart.

I do not wish to fill your head with my ideas,

I have no plan for you,

I long to know you.

I want only to know who you are when you let yourself unfold… like a sheet thrown up to cover the bed. Unfold like an autumn wind pulling the leaves like confetti from the trees.

I wish to see your passion rise up from within you like an ocean swell.

(...)"

In the late 1970s, at the age of 17, Olive Jones joined a communal living experiment in Nelson, living in a kind of Anarchy with each other and off the land. Later, that Community purchased a piece of land in Motueka Valley that came to be known as Graham Downs.

There, they experimented radically with communal living: anybody could join whenever they wanted for as long as they wanted. They farmed the land with horses, milked cows, butchered their own meat, built their own houses, made their own clothing, all without any governance structure.

Olive became a pillar of that community and lived there for 13 years. She wrote the book "Commune: Chasing a utopian dream in Aotearoa" about her experience of that time, as well as about the deterioration and falling apart of the Community. In this episode, Olive shares some of her life experiences:

- How they thought they were creating an alternative culture but ended up reproducing patriarchy;

- What did not work;

- How living in Community requires a level of emotional maturity and conflict resolution processes;

- How choosing an interesting life over a comfortable life makes life worth living;

- How women playing small contributed to the patriarchal culture;

- How women's work can be invisible;

and more.

Today, Olive lives in Auckland and is a trustee of the Trust holding the land.

This interview was held by Julia Neumann, who spent several weeks of living on the land in March & April 2024.
