  • Care Chat: Gay with God cross-pollination with Midge Noble

    This episode is a recording we did with Midge Noble on the "Gay with God "podcast.

TanyaMarck + Nick share their stories and journeys through religion and spiritual discovery as queer folks.

  • Care Chat with Leah Garza, part 2

    In part two of our Care Chat with Leah Garza, we dive deeper into her work with Living Systems. "Through experimental public education, media, and consulting, Living Systems equips its communities with the frameworks and strategies necessary to question and transcend modernist colonial stories about reality." We explore how this program is an embodied pathway and practice of social justice and decolonization.

    Leah Garza (she/her) is a Los Angeles–based scholar, mystic, and facilitator whose work explores the intersections of decoloniality, ontology, posthumanism, and ecological futures. As the founder of Crystals of Altamira and creator of the year-long Living Systems curriculum, she has guided nearly 300 students across three cohorts to collectively wonder: if extinction is inevitable, what else is possible? Across all her work, Leah's approach is guided by curiosity, resonance, and the conviction that transformation can be not only possible, but joyful!

    You can learn more about Leah at www.crystalsofaltamira.com + www.wearelivingsystems.com/
