The Common Good podcast is a conversation about the significance of place, eliminating economic isolation and structures of belonging.   For this episode, I speak with Reverend Sushama Austin-Connor, DMin about Faith Matters Network, which envisions communities rooted in wisdom, spiritual practice, & healing. FMN is a womanist-led organization that equips justice leaders and heals the healers. Also, Sushama will be the host for the upcoming series of Abundant Community Conversations with Peter Block, David Brooks, Parker Palmer and many more.

The next Abundant Community conversation is on September 14 with David Brooks. You can register here.

The recited poem was "Poetry Should Ride the Bus" by Ruth Forman.

This episode was produced by Joey Taylor and the music is from Jeff Gorman. You can find more information about the Common Good Collective here. Common Good Podcast is a production of Bespoken Live & Common Change - Eliminating Personal Economic Isolation.
